Interview

IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT… Sunday, funday! As my Saturdays are often dedicated to capturing the beauty of weddings for couples, I prioritise Sundays for quality time with my family. We kick off the day with a delightful brunch featuring crepes and bacon, followed by outdoor activities with our daughter. By evening, my fiancé and I ease into relaxation mode, perhaps enjoying a movie together, before gearing up for the week ahead bright and early on Monday!

MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS… I have a passion for exploring new destinations, each journey offering something unique and memorable. One experience that stood out was in 2018 when I ventured to the French Riviera to photograph a wedding. Beforehand, I extended the trip to enjoy a vacation with my then-boyfriend (now fiancé), introducing him to my favourite spots and reminiscing about my decade-long residency in the South of France. This getaway felt like a honeymoon, marking our first significant trip together and creating cherished memories as I shared special places with him.

THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS… that's a tough choice! I adore discovering new places but Greece has definitely held a spot on my bucket list for quite some time.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS… being able to capture precious memories for my clients, memories that they'll treasure for a lifetime, is truly fulfilling. As a photographer, I've come to realise that our impact goes beyond just taking pictures. Over my 14 years of experience, I've seen firsthand the profound joy and emotion a simple photograph of loved ones can evoke in people's lives.

IF I DIDN’T DO THIS FOR A JOB I WOULD BE/DO… I couldn't envision myself pursuing anything else, but I'm certain I'd establish a business within the realm of creativity.

IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE…savour this time of engagement before diving into wedding preparations! It's a special period, filled with anticipation for the beautiful commitment ahead. Take moments to envision your wedding and allocate ample time for planning.

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… probably in Italy, by the Mediterranean sea.

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE IS? "The Fellowship of the Ring," part of the legendary "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, holds a special place in my heart. I first delved into its pages as a young teenager, captivated by its enchanting world. Later, witnessing its cinematic adaptation only deepened my admiration; it has since become one of my all-time favourite stories. I could easily spend hours discussing its myriad elements, from the meticulous art direction to the intricate costumes, the stellar acting, the evocative soundtrack, and so much more.

MOST MEMORABLE MEAL I’VE EVER EATEN WAS… exploring new cuisines and dining experiences is a passion of mine. Over the years, I've enjoyed countless remarkable meals. One that stands out happened last summer during a visit to Paris for a beautiful wedding at Chateau de Santeny. Nestled near Montmartre, we chanced upon a charming neighbourhood eatery. Typically, I meticulously research restaurants beforehand, but this time, spurred by a few promising Google reviews and our hunger, my fiancé Félix and I decided to take a chance. What a delightful surprise it turned out to be! Their specialty was their own-produced caviar, incredibly velvety in texture. From impeccable wine pairings to the freshness of ingredients and the exceptional service, every aspect of the meal was outstanding. It truly made for a memorable experience!

THE PETS I OWN ARE… two adorable golden Chihuahuas Babou and Brownie ( Mom and daughter)
