Film & Super8 Wedding photographer
LILLE | PARIS | FRANCE
Wedding photography on film and Super 8 wedding film, with a romantic, modern and documentary touch.
IS film photography REALLY STILL A THING ?
During my first wedding photography season in 2018, I asked one of the couples I was working with: why me rather than someone else?
Their answer: “After scouring websites that all use the same words and images, without really understanding what differentiates them, we thought, why not try something truly different? Film seemed like a good option, an original and slightly crazy approach that appealed to us. And then we saw your photos, which completely convinced us that this was the path to follow.”
I could write about the unique texture of the grain, talk about the softness of the colors, or sell you on the unique experience of film. I could also elaborate on the importance of the materiality of film in a digital world, on the permanence of images on the negative. I could also hammer the point home with wedding photographer buzzwords, going on and on about the “unmistakable, timeless quality” of film.
The truth is, I shoot film simply because I love it, and the photos turn out incredibly well.
And when it’s beautiful and it works, why ask any more questions?
Not on VOGUE (YET)
But some (coolers) guys talked about me
THE way WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY SHOULD feel
If there’s one rule to follow for your wedding day, it’s to live it to the fullest: you’ve worked hard to organize it, making it truly yours, and you deserve to enjoy it to the fullest. Which is perfect, because that’s also how the most beautiful memories and photos are created: in twenty years, it’s the truly lived moments and genuine emotions that you’ll want to relive, not perfect, lifeless poses.
My approach to the day is simple: I won’t turn it into a long and painful photo shoot. I won’t stage moments that didn’t happen, but rather document what did happen naturally : I’m always on the lookout for every little instant that is uniquely yours.
I’ll guide you, of course, before and during the wedding, to share my experience with you (I don’t know why, but I’m invited to so many weddings every year, so I know a thing or two about the subject), but I won’t impose anything on you. On the contrary, I will help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely yourselves on this unique day.
Simply put, before the wedding, we get to know each other so I can understand who you are. On the big day, you live, you enjoy, you laugh, you cry… and you gradually forget I’m there while I capture all the life and energy of your wedding.

Baptiste, 33, MARRIED MAN AND FATHER
THE ONE WHO hides BEHIND THE LENSE
My name is Baptiste. I’m 34 years old, and photography has been a part of my life for 10 years. I’m married and the father of an adorable little girl. I love 2000s rock and blues music, pizza, my two cats, thrillers, Terry Pratchett’s humor, and science fiction.
I’m not an extroverted or exuberant person, but you can count on me to be the discreet and silent witness of your day, present in every moment, to capture every spark of happiness and love.
I have always photographed with film, and today I have my own laboratory where, in addition to wedding photography, I run workshops and courses for all those who are interested in film, whether closely or remotely.
I live in Lille, one hour from Paris, but I will happily travel in France or Europe.
