Vienne · Gartempe valley
Wedding photographer
in Saint-Pierre-de-Maillé
Saint-Pierre-de-Maillé lies in the green eastern corner of the Vienne, along the Gartempe, and it hides one of the most charming small wedding châteaux in the region. Under an hour from home, and well within the country we cover.
This is a place for the small, slow wedding, a château in fifty-two acres of parkland where the whole party stays and the day belongs entirely to the couple. It is exactly the scale documentary photography does best, a house party rather than a production.
Out in the eastern Vienne, where the Gartempe and the Anglin cut through quiet country, Saint-Pierre-de-Maillé holds the fairytale micro-wedding château of la Boutinière in fifty-two acres of parkland. It is a place for a small, intimate day rather than a crowd.

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.

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