Le Havre
An architect's city
Destroyed during the war, the centre of Le Havre was rebuilt by Auguste Perret’s team between 1945 and 1964, then listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005. Its straight lines, colonnades and the church of Saint-Joseph make a graphic backdrop, very different from Normandy’s half-timbering.
Architecture and cities are part of my personal work too: I know how to use those lines without letting them crush the people.
Étretat
The cliffs, for your day-after session
Étretat is about half an hour from Le Havre. Its cliffs suit a day-after session (€490) better than the wedding day itself: we come early, dress and suit set free, while walkers are still few. We stay on the marked paths, well away from the edge: the wind is strong and the cliff crumbles.

The day-after session
01
On a coastal path, when the light is low and nobody is in a hurry.
The wind

On the coast, it’s almost always there. It lifts veils and dresses.
Leaving the town hall
03
Confetti, raised arms, applause: a few seconds not to miss.
The symbolic ceremony
04
Ribbons, words written by your loved ones, and guests close by.
Your guests

Children, grandparents, friends: a wedding is about them too.

I photograph guests like the couple: without making them pose.
