Your story
You have pictured this day since you were a little girl.
I film it so you can live it again for the rest of your life.
You had imagined it all. The dress. The music for your entrance. A place, sometimes on the other side of the world. The face of the person waiting for you at the end of the aisle.
The day finally comes. It is over in a few hours.
You will not see everything. You will not see your mother crying in the front row. Or your father going over his speech in secret.
I see them.
My name is Mickaël. I film weddings in France and anywhere you dream of saying I do. Your film keeps everything you had imagined. It also keeps everything you had not planned for.
In ten years, you will put it on one winter evening. You will hear your vows again. You will cry at exactly the same moment.

My way of working
On the day, you will soon forget I am there.
That is the point.
01
I wait
I never ask you to play a moment again. I wait. The look you exchange just before the ceremony. Your father straightening his tie for the tenth time. Nobody can stage those moments.
02
I record
I record your voices as close as I can get. In your film, you will hear his voice shake during the vows. You will hear your grandmother laugh during the speeches.
03
I rework the light
After the wedding, I work the light of every shot. I look for the light of that day. The gold of late afternoon on your dress. The light you had imagined long before you knew where you would be married.
You dreamed of this day for years. Your film gives it back to you exactly as you lived it.
Their words
On the day, his presence was absolutely discreet.
Marie & Dorian, September 2025
Why a wedding film?
What you will have forgotten in ten years
Their voice at the moment of the yes
You will remember the words. You will forget the breath that cut them in half. And the applause that started too early, at the back of the room.
The film keeps it all, in order. Without smoothing anything over.
Your mother, in the third row
She has been holding back tears since the ceremony began. You did not see her. Your best man loses the thread of his speech. Twice. Nobody steps in to help.
One day your children will watch this film. They will know how you loved each other that day.
Your parents' old tape
You have already come across a video of your parents, young, before you were born. The picture was poor. You watched it twice. For your father's voice at thirty. For your mother's laugh, off camera.
Your children will come across your film. They will stop on details that do not matter yet.
The delivery
You will receive
a gallery that looks like you
A film made to last. A day you have imagined for decades, to relive as many times as you like. Memories, and something to hand down.
The highlight film
The best moments of the day, easy to watch, far easier than scrolling through hundreds of photographs. You sink into the sofa and let your story carry you, filmed from morning to night.
Their words
What they say once the film has landed
Destinations
Where you will say I do
You have pictured this place a thousand times. A beach at sunset. The garden of the house where you grew up.
You have finally found it. Do not change a thing.
Wherever you say I do, I will follow.
Twenty minutes from your door or ten hours by plane, I pack my bags.
You do not have to choose between the venue of your dreams and the film of your dreams.
Travel appears in your quote from our very first conversation.
Before you write
The questions I always get
Why hire a professional wedding videographer?
Because a wedding day cannot be replayed. You have to know where to stand before the bride walks in, hold a clean image in a dark chapel, catch vows murmured into the wind. You learn that by doing it, not by buying gear. In ten years, this is what you will be watching.
What does a typical wedding day look like with a videographer?
I arrive around nine in the morning, during the preparations, while someone is still hunting for the cufflinks. I stay until the dance floor is full. In between, you will not be looking for me. I never ask anyone to pose and I never ask you to walk back in for a second take.
How much does a wedding videographer cost?
My three collections run from €1,790 to €3,790. What changes from one to the next is the time I spend with you and the length of the film. It is all laid out on the pricing page, with no asterisks and no small print.
When will we receive our wedding film?
Between 8 and 12 weeks after your wedding. On a Tuesday evening, usually, because I rarely deliver at the weekend. The edit is done by hand, shot by shot, and I always go back to the opening once I have found the ending.
What equipment do you use to film a wedding?
Cinema bodies and lenses, chosen to hold the light at the end of a dinner without betraying it. Several wireless microphones, clipped on in the morning, forgotten within ten minutes. A stabiliser so I can walk with you, a drone when the venue deserves it. Everything is copied twice before I drive home. The equipment has one job. Not to be noticed.
Do you film destination weddings or weddings outside France?
Yes. Brittany, the Vendée, Paris, Bordeaux, Provence, and abroad whenever you take me there. Travel and accommodation are discussed case by case, plainly, at the quote stage. Your day will take place somewhere. I will be there.
What's the difference between a videographer and a photographer?
They do not tell the same story. A photograph holds a look and keeps it forever. A film keeps the tremble in the voice, the silence right before the applause, your grandmother laughing in the middle of a speech. We work side by side all day, and you need both.
When should I book my wedding videographer?
Early. I take on a small number of couples each season, and Saturdays from June to September go 12 to 18 months ahead. As soon as you have the date and the venue, write to me. The first conversation commits you to nothing. It is mostly there to find out whether we understand each other.

Tell me about your wedding
You have been imagining it for a long time. I would like to hear about it.
Tell me the date and the place, even if they are not settled yet. Tell me about the two of you. And about the one small detail you care about more than anything.
You do not need to have decided everything. One message is enough to start.
I answer personally, as quickly as I can.
