Vienne (86), Poitiers, Châtellerault
Documentary wedding photographer
in Vienne (86) and Poitiers
We live in Lencloître, at the heart of the Vienne. We know the light of the Vienne at six in the evening in July, the stone of the department's châteaux, the way a wedding day unfolds here.
Over sixteen years, we have documented 337 weddings across Europe. Our approach has not changed: be invisible, observe, capture what happens without interrupting it. The images you receive are those of your day as it actually happened.

"We planned our whole wedding around being able to work with them. Their approach, 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. No, we hadn't known each other since childhood. We met less than a year before."

Do you take posed photos?
No. Our approach is 100% documentary: we observe, anticipate, and capture what happens without interrupting or directing. Fifteen to twenty minutes at the end of the day for a portrait together, that is all we ask. The rest is your wedding as it actually happened.

Always as a duo. Cristina and Petrică cover the wedding together, with two different angles at the same time. This is not an option, it is how we have worked for sixteen years.
