If I have a free Sunday I would spend it …
having a delicious brunch with my family, whether at home or somewhere nice. Then, I enjoy spending time reading, immersed in a good book that takes me to another dimension. In the afternoon, there is nothing like dancing with my children, creating joyful and spontaneous memories together. Finally, we like to play board games or do fun activities that strengthen family bonds and allow us to have fun together. This ideal Sunday mixes relaxation, personal enrichment and moments of simplicity with family, making every moment a special occasion.
My most memorable travel experience was …
my trip to the Canary Islands over Christmas was a truly memorable experience. The festive atmosphere combined with the tropical setting created a unique and unforgettable contrast. I particularly remember one moment when I discovered an inflatable snowman on the beach, recalling the spirit of Christmas in a totally unexpected and fun way. During this time, I also enjoyed sipping exotic cocktails while admiring the magnificent sea views and volcanic landscapes of the islands. The combination of the warm atmosphere of Christmas and the enchanting scenery of the Canaries made this trip even more special and rewarding. These memories of joyful and relaxing moments on the sunny beaches of the Canaries will remain engraved in my mind as a truly unique and memorable vacation experience.
What I love most about my job is …
capturing the purity and authenticity of moments. Every photoshoot and wedding is a celebration of life and love, and as a photographer, capturing these precious moments is a true passion. I am deeply touched by the heartfelt exchange of vows and intimate moments between couples. I particularly love photo sessions with the bride and groom, where I can capture their complicity and happiness through my lens. Providing my clients with photos that will become timeless memories of their special day is a responsibility that I approach with pride and emotion. Every wedding is unique, and having the opportunity to document these unique and emotional moments is immensely rewarding to me as a photographer. It is an honor to participate in these moments of life and to be able to transform them into images that tell an unforgettable love story.
I love where I live because …
I love living in France for its cultural richness and incomparable refinement. Each region, whether Provence with its lavender fields and picturesque vineyards, or Paris with its urban charm and iconic monuments, offers a diversity of landscapes and unique experiences. France's world-renowned gastronomy is a feast for the senses, while the French art of living promotes elegance and conviviality in all aspects of daily life.
My favourite movie is …
"Dirty Dancing" holds an incredibly special place in my heart. I've watched it countless times—perhaps over a hundred—and know every dialogue by heart. This film was not just a movie for me; it was a pivotal part of my journey into dance. From the iconic line "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" to its mesmerizing dance sequences, "Dirty Dancing" is more than just a story about dance; it carries poignant messages about love, self-discovery, and defying societal norms. It's a film that resonates deeply with me, inspiring me to embrace passion, express myself through movement, and appreciate the transformative power of art and love.
The pets I own are …
I'm lucky enough to have a sphynx, a maine coon and a dog as companions. Each of them brings a unique dynamic to my daily life and home. They are all adorable in their own way and enrich my life with their unconditional love and cheerful presence.

We had our bi-lingual French-American wedding in France this past June, and our experience with Marion was nothing short of perfect. She captured the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, which really shows in the photos. She has an amazing eye for detail and composition, and she captured all the special moments in such a natural and beautiful way. We were blown away by the quality and artistry of her work. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but also a joy to work with, look no further. We can't thank her enough for the stunning memories she has given us.
Amelie & Marc
Having Marion as our photographer for the three days of our wedding (civil wedding, religious wedding and party, and the wedding brunch) was one of the best decisions we made in organizing our wedding. Her warmth, professionalism and kindness immediately put you at ease. She's incredibly good at what she does, and expertly guides you to find the perfect photo. I can't recommend Marion highly enough: thanks to her, we'll be able to look back on our wedding and share these beautiful memories over the decades and with generations to come.
Vino & Benoît
Marion was our absolute favorite vendor at our wedding. She was incredibly kind, caring, and professional. Beyond being an absolutely wonderful person, we felt and saw her talent throughout the entire day. We’re not used to posing, and we’re generally quite reserved, but she managed to capture beautiful moments that mean so much to us. She clearly knows what she’s doing; she notices every detail and even does acrobatics to find the best angle and take the perfect shot. You can truly trust her! The quality of the photos is beyond perfect. I don’t have enough words to thank Marion.
