Wedding videographer

In ten years, you'll have forgotten the scent of the flowers. But you'll still be able to press play.

Your story

That day, everything will fly by

The nervous laughter in the car. Your mother's face when she first sees you. The words you wrote in secret at three in the morning, with red eyes. All of it fits into a single day. And that day rushes past.

I'm a wedding videographer. I blend into your day, so discreet you'll forget I'm there. I'm not looking for perfect shots. I'm looking for the ones that tell a story. The trembling voice during the vows. Your father's hand gripping a little tighter.

When the evening ends and everyone has gone, you'll have a wedding film. Not a summary. A love letter. Something that captures exactly what you lived. Based in Nantes, I film throughout France and abroad: châteaux, estates, destination weddings.

My approach

What sets a film apart from a video

I don't make wedding videos. I make films. The difference comes down to three things: a narrative that breathes like a documentary, sound captured as close to your voices as possible, and light treated like cinema. These three pillars give your wedding film a signature you'll recognise from the very first frame.

01

A documentary narrative

No poses, no staging. I film the day as it unfolds, like a reporter. The nervous laughter before the ceremony, the lingering gaze during the vows, the grandfather's dance after dessert. The edit follows the heart's order, not the day's schedule.

02

Live-captured sound

Your voices, your words, your silences. Every vow is recorded with a discreet wireless mic, every speech captured from multiple sources. In a wedding film, it's often the sound that brings tears, not the image. That's why I care so much about it.

03

Cinema-grade imagery

Full-frame cameras, fast lenses, frame-by-frame colour grading. I look for light that feels like what you experienced: warm at golden hour, soft in the early morning. Your film should feel like watching a great movie.

The moment

Memory keeps the essential. The film keeps everything else.

Why a wedding film?

Why a film changes everything

The sound of their voice

In ten years, you'll have forgotten the sound of their voice when they said yes. A film keeps what memory lets slip. The breath, the silence, the applause. Everything that keeps a memory alive.

The faces of your loved ones

Your mother holding back tears without knowing it. Your best man laughing too loud. Hands reaching for each other in the crowd. One day, your children will watch this film. And they'll know exactly how you loved each other.

A light that feels like yours

Every wedding has its own light. The golden reflections of a June evening. The softness of a misty morning. I don't try to embellish. I try to restore what you actually experienced.

What you receive

A highlight film, your whole story

One creation, made to last. Your highlight film distils the emotion of your day into a cinematic narrative: to watch, relive, and pass on.

The highlight film

5–25 min

The heart of the work. A complete narrative that weaves through the preparations, the ceremony, the vows, the dinner, and the party. Duration adapts to the package chosen, from five minutes of condensed emotion to twenty-five minutes of storytelling. This is the film you'll watch with your children, in ten or twenty years.

They lived it

What couples say

The moment I heard Paul's voice saying yes in the film, I cried just like on our wedding day. Our parents watch it every Christmas now. It's become our tradition. Mickaël was so discreet we forgot he was there, and yet he didn't miss a thing. Not a glance, not a smile, not a tear.

Pauline & Paul / June 2025, Jardin de Cleray, Clisson

The result is simply magnificent, it far exceeded all our expectations. The emotion in the video takes us right back to our wedding day as if we were there again.

Céline & Steve / August 2025, Domaine de Beaucé, Nantes

Mickaël delivered a film that went beyond our expectations. We were back in the emotion of that day from the very first second.

Floriane & Dimitri / July 2025, Château de la Rousselière, Frossay

On the day, his presence was absolutely discreet, which allowed us and our guests to forget the camera and remain completely natural. That's what makes his work so precious, he captures knowing glances and bursts of laughter without ever breaking the intimacy of the moment.

Where you'll say I do

I'm based in Nantes, but your story can be told anywhere. A château on the Loire, a Breton chapel, a Parisian townhouse. Every place has its soul. That's what I film.

Your questions

Before taking the leap

Why hire a professional wedding videographer?

Because a wedding film can't be redone. A professional videographer knows how to anticipate every key moment, handle difficult lighting (outdoor ceremony, dimly lit dinner, flash-lit party), capture clean audio of your vows, and above all tell a story, not just record. In ten years, it's the film that will take you back to your day. It deserves to live up to the memory.

What does a typical wedding day look like with a videographer?

I arrive early, during preparations. I stay until the party is in full swing. In between, I blend into your day. No staging, no interruptions. I'm there for the laughter, the tears, the glances that say more than any speech. A few weeks later, you receive your wedding film.

How much does a wedding videographer cost?

Packages start at €1,790. A wedding film typically costs between €1,790 and €3,790 depending on coverage duration, film length, and optional drone footage. No surprises, no hidden charges. We discuss it together and I create something that fits your wedding and your budget.

When will we receive our wedding film?

Your film is delivered within 8 to 12 weeks after your wedding. Every edit is done by hand, frame by frame, sound by sound. Every story deserves the time to be told properly.

What equipment do you use to film a wedding?

I shoot with a Sony FX3, the same camera used on many cinema productions, renowned for its low-light sensitivity and natural image rendering. Only high-end lenses for beautiful depth of field and atmospheric low-light shots. For audio, a Sennheiser MKE 600 directional microphone and multiple wireless recorders for your vows and speeches. Add a stabiliser for smooth movements, a drone operated by a certified pilot, and dual backup of every file on the wedding day itself. Zero risk of loss.

Do you film destination weddings or weddings outside France?

I'm based in Nantes, but I travel throughout France (Brittany, Vendée, Paris, Bordeaux, Provence) and abroad for destination weddings. Travel and accommodation costs are discussed on a case-by-case basis. Your day will take place somewhere. I'll be there.

What's the difference between a videographer and a photographer?

They don't tell the same story. Photography freezes time on a look, a smile, a gesture. Video captures movement, sound: the trembling voice when you say yes, your grandmother's laughter during the speech. They're complementary. One doesn't replace the other. A wedding film is the living memory of your day.

When should I book my wedding videographer?

As early as possible. Good wedding videographers are often fully booked 12 to 18 months ahead, especially for June to September weddings. As soon as you have your venue and date, don't wait. The first conversation is free and with no commitment. It's simply to see if we're on the same wavelength.
