Loire Valley · Touraine
Wedding photographer
in Tours
Tours is the heart of the Touraine, and the name most couples start with when they picture a Loire Valley wedding. We are an hour south, in the Vienne, and travel across the whole of the Loire is included in what we do. If you are marrying near Tours, here is the country we know.
Around Tours the châteaux come thick and fast, along the Loire, the Cher and the Indre. Some are monuments to visit. The ones worth marrying in are the working estates, and they are where a documentary photographer earns their keep, moving quietly through a day that needs no direction.
Tours is an hour from Paris by TGV and the natural base for a Loire Valley wedding, with guests fanning out to the châteaux along the river. We work across the whole of it, from the Chinonais at Château du Rivau to the gardens of la Bourdaisière minutes from town, and travel through the Touraine is part of what we do.

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.
