Transform your love into an intense photographic heritage
My number one aim
Why are we getting married? The famous reason is the love you have for your partner. And that should never change. Don't you think that this powerful feeling should fuel your desire to plan an adventure elopement or an intimate wedding that looks like you? We forget that this event must be focused on the couple, on you, and no one else. You should not manage your wedding day by stressing, thinking about what each other eats, if they are going to be happy with the wedding ceremony. Back to basics.
Close your eyes. Think of you two, the dress, the suit, the first look. The moment when tears will begin to flow when the vows are read, the cloudy look when the partner in front of you will become the most important person in your life. These hidden emotions, which rise to the surface - thanks to the subtle mixture of the cocoon in which you are and the place of your elopement - are those that will allow me to document and highlight your two souls that embrace each other.
What my psychology studies taught me...
...To never think about yourself
...To always please others
...To never say "I love you". Despite the imperfections, the ups and downs, the crazy adventures, I know that the rest of my life is destined to be with you. Let's elope & make our wildest dreams a reality!
...To fall in love again every day ending in Y
...To make your wedding day a memorable adventure, the one that will make you think it was just a dream!

More than your France & Europe Elopement Photographer
This time is difficult for romantic relationships. However, you have managed to overcome obstacles, to make you an inseparable element of his world. You are now looking to express that indescribable feeling of mixing joy, excitement and melancholy into a sincere photographic experience, which will become the artistic symbol of your lasting love.
This elopement experience, whether it lasts a day or three, will mark your love, your couple and your souls in an alloy of artistic photographs of which I will be the guardian. Nevertheless, the road can be winding to this day, that's why I'm here: not as an elopement photographer, but also as a friend, the best friend who will guide you in the darkness you encounter in the planning of your elopement wedding.
What am I? The best friend, the confidant, the one who goes to get the accessory we forgot, the one who will offer you his tissues to cry, the one who will remind you that it is not an illusion, the best man (or the bridesmaid :D), the one who will give you your favorite drink when you are thirsty, but most importantly: the one who will be by your side at every step (no matter how minimal) of your planning elopement, and who will document it as if it were his. <3
We discovered Antoine on Instagram, and looking at his website, we became total fans! When we decided to get married, we hadn't thought about elopement yet, and we were a bit lost after that...
Antoine helped us see things more clearly: what it is, how to prepare it well, announce it to our respective families, choose where to travel.
We had to make several backup plans - the weather can be very capricious - and his ability to not forget the little details is really important.
His solar energy can be felt through the screens and the many calls we made; it's like calling our best friend!
Slightly stressed by the trip and the organization, his calm allowed us to have an incredible and unique elopement! He gave us the previews two weeks later, and we have to say that the photos were already exceptional, and honestly, after receiving them, we lay down on the couch, and it had been a long time since we had cried like that.
Thanks again to you, our best friend, elopement confidant, and continue to make us dream!
F & F
kind words
What if we reinvented them?
The tradition of the big wedding is so classic that you don’t want to enter in this box. You dream of spectacular landscapes, sunsets and poignant vows on a unique place. What you need is to elope. So, be selfish for once, and plan the most beautiful wedding destination of your life.
Here's how I can help you organize what will be the future chapter of your life.
Centuries of weddings.
My values
1. Your Love Story
Until you met, each of you lived a similar or completely different life. It was at this precise moment that your stories intertwined to form one. The wedding symbolizes this new bond, as powerful as the act of surrendering to love and embracing it fully.
As your elopement photographer, my goal is to create a peaceful space so that you can relate your story without snags, and give me every single details of your love.
2. Emotions' experience matters
What makes a moment unique and impossible to reproduce is the series of experiences you have known, and its share of emotions. You should never regret what you have experienced; it is a strength that you have acquired and it is multiplied by two thanks to your partner.
It is this energy that I want to highlight by offering you a fantastic elopement experience; eloping will be a memory to which tears will be forever linked. Don't flow them on the wedding album :D
3. Art matters!
Posing for photos was effective at the birth of photography, we could not afford to miss a photograph at that time; but progress has been made, and by now you can move freely without fear of not having good photos.
Of course I photograph the elopement, but I DOCUMENT your devotion, your reason for existing. I would like not to have to do the same poses that can be seen on social networks: get ready, because you will have to jump, run, roll, dive, fly, catch... Do a million things to show something impalpable: your blazed love.
4. The human being above all, always!
I believe in a world where love & kindness are kings.
Please come as you are, without artifices, with your faults and your qualities.
I will create a bubble in which you can feel at home; distant judgments, an aura of positivity surrounding your couple (but also your guests if ever).
There will always be a place here (and in my heart) for your couple & your love. <3
Symbolic photographs of an indefinable mood, an immeasurable friendship, soulmates' genesis.
What will remain?
When memories fade,
When words are no longer enough,
When your great-grandchildren will find a dusty cardboard.

Because an unknown organization as an elopement one can be scary, it's so important for me that you're not stressed.
I'm going to explain every planning step of your new experience elopement !
Because an unknown organization as an elopement one can be scary, it's so important for me that you're not stressed.
I'm going to explain every planning step of your new experience elopement !
1. An unparalleled listening experience
Because the unknown can be scary, it must not prevent you from creating your dream elopement. I am convinced that an adventure elopement is one of the most beautiful ways to prove your love. It MUST represent you. Completely.
To avoid believing eloping is too complicated to planning, I wrote a guide about destination elopements; this contains the important steps, multiple questions to ask yourself, elopement checklists - in the doubt of forgetting the wedding rings for example.
Whether you elope just the two of you or you plan to have an intimate wedding with a few guests, this guide will show you the way to an experience you will never forget!
2. Help you with the planning elopement : visas, permits, vendor & lodging & more !
Who says destination wedding, says administrative papers. A joy to do it for some people, but for us, mortals, it can be a severe headache. After choosing the place where you will cry tears of happiness, you will have to move on to another important step in the elopement: find everything you need, every detail.
Don't worry, planning elopement is more fun than a traditional wedding one. Because you're NOT alone. You need to find a makeup artist or a private chef who understands what eloping means? I'll find the one who's gonna be perfect for you, and that's a promise!
I will assist you in choosing the activities, housing and papers that will need to be completed to get married legally (and symbolically).
3. Find the unexpected charming elopement place
Forget what you’ve seen all these years on Instagram & Pinterest, all these "likes", "shares", or "retweets"; remember that’s not them who are going to get married, it's you! So lie down on your couch, let the cultures, the types of landscapes in which you would like to read your wedding vows entrance you.
Eloping in Europe is a audacious & fearless choice; there are so many places waiting to change your scenery! If I had to pick elopement places, I would recommend you to go to Italy (Dolomites, Puglia, Firenze); get married in the wide flower fields of Scotland; have an adventure elopement in one - or more! - of the greek islands (Skopelos, Crete, Alonissos...); just have a romantic destination wedding in Andalusia, Spain, between the cities of Granada, Sevilla, and citrus orchards. The possibilities are endless, and you will be bewitched to see what each country in Europe can offer you.
4. Photograph the chronicles of your entwined souls
Let's talk about what awaits us with impatience: the wedding day! A good night's rest, because the elopement experience will be fabulous! Note that isn’t a "photoshooting day", of course, it is an essential part of your wedding, but don’t forget that I document your love - the one that animates your hearts since you’ve been together -, and there is no way to photograph a couple without emotions.

Lacking of elopement venue inspiration?
Here's an article that will help you understand the definition of elopement in its entirety. Perhaps you'll recognize yourself in it? I know how frustrating it can be not knowing where to start. Read it, you'll feel better afterwards!
Here's a documented wedding I did near Paris, France. The venue for the symbolic ceremony was incredible!
You will love the beauty of the place.
If you're unsure where to travel in Europe, these articles highlight some of my personal favorites. They include France, Greece, Scotland... The choice is yours :)
"Whatever the nature’s emotions are, or those inside your soul, I will always be with you"
Love is blind, because that’s the soul that matters.
Your gender, sexuality, skin color don't matter as long as you are kind in your heart. <3
Come as you are, I'll take care of the rest.

Even if Europe is full of surprises, I am delighted to be able to plan your destination elopement through the other continents.
Do you photograph outside of Europe?
When should we elope to Europe?
Why Europe for your elopement experience?
Do we have to hike to take beautiful photos?
Could you help us with what to pack?
How can we book our elopement date?
It depends on what you want to do. If you like winter activities, focus on the months from November to March. Are you looking for a milder temperature? Just come from April to June and from September to early November. However I don’t recommend eloping in July & August, it is often full of people.

Landscapes that leave you speechless, a lot of different cultures, you could spend weeks - even months! - walking around each country and their capital... It's a must-see!

No! There are wonderful places to go there by car for example. You don't need to walk for hours for an incredible view. The place must look like you, you have time to choose, don't stress!

Yes! I have my personal checklists but I’ve got elopement checklists also for you. Whether in the desert or on the top of a mountain, I would have what I need (especially something to eat and drink ^^).
