Vienne · Poitiers
Wedding photographer
in Ligugé
Ligugé sits ten minutes south of Poitiers, an old abbey village with a wooded estate that has quietly become one of the most complete wedding venues in the Vienne. Close to home, and firmly in the territory we work.
What makes Ligugé work for a wedding is the sense of enclosure, twenty-five hectares of woodland around a nineteenth century chapel, and enough beds on site for everyone to stay. For documentary photography, that intimacy is everything: fewer people, more closeness, nothing staged.
Ligugé, an abbey town ten minutes south of Poitiers, hides Domaine de l'Écorcerie in twenty-five hectares of woodland, with a nineteenth century chapel for the ceremony. It is close enough to the city for guests, far enough for the quiet a documentary day needs.

How we work
We came to weddings from photojournalism. We observe, we anticipate, we capture what happens without interrupting it. No posing, no staging, no asking anyone to do it again.
We always work as two. While one of us is at the ceremony, the other is watching the faces. That second pair of eyes is the difference between a record of a place and a record of your day.

"We planned our whole wedding around being able to work with them. The way they naturally blend in while capturing every emotion, warm, humane, and so easy to work with."
"It only took five minutes to realise they were the friends we wanted to pay to be at our wedding."
