Documentary wedding photography by Cristina & Petrică Tănase

A wedding in Lusignan tends to be a grand one, the kind reached by an avenue of trees and held between a château and its barn. It is a setting that gives a documentary photographer room to work, long approaches, open lawns, and light that lasts into the evening.

A medieval town between Poitiers and Niort, Lusignan gathers its weddings at Domaine de Mauprié just outside, reached by an avenue of limes. It is old-Poitou country, quiet and green, an easy half hour from home.

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.

Why us

This Is Reportage, TOP 20 Storytellers in the World, 2022. WPJA, TOP 50 Photographers in the World, 2021 and 2022. 232 international awards across sixteen years, judged anonymously from real weddings.

337 weddings photographed since 2009, across Europe. We are based in the Vienne, we speak French, English and Romanian, and we always work as a duo. Packages from 3,190 €.

"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."

Justina & Alex

"It only took five minutes to realise they were the friends we wanted to pay to be at our wedding."
