Welcome to the intimate and elegant wedding of Vivien and Julien at La Colle sur Loup on the French Riviera.
V+J who came straight from Berlin, dreamt of a celebration that would be an intimate affair, shared only with their closest eighteen loved ones. They wanted a day that would forever be etched in their hearts, a day that would mark the beginning of their journey as one.
The first chapter of their love story unfolded at the town hall of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Surrounded by its timeless beauty, they exchanged their vows, sealing their commitment, It was extra special as Vivien was pregnant of they first baby!
As a photographer, capturing this intimate moment was a privilege, witnessing these words of love that would reverberate for eternity.
As they left the Mairie, hand in hand, a classic Mercedes 190 SL awaited them - a metaphor for their journey together, a symbol of the retro elegance that they both embodied. With the wind in their hair and the open road ahead of them, they set off to their next destination, the famed gastronomic restaurant in the heart of the picturesque village La-Colle-sur-Loup-Alain Llorca.
The ambiance of Alain Llorca's garden, an oasis of culinary delight, provided the perfect backdrop for this poetic occasion. The scent of delicately prepared apetisers mingled with the fragrance of amour, creating an atmosphere that danced with joy and celebration.
In this intimate and elegant setting, every detail spoke volumes about Vivien and Julien's love story. From the delicate back on Vivien's gown to the personalised cheesecake, each element had been carefully curated to tell their tale. And it was my task, as their photographer, to capture the essence of their day, to immortalise their intimate moments in a series of images that would be cherished forever.
You see, being a photographer is more than just capturing images. It is about understanding the story that unfolds before my lens, immersing myself in the emotions, and narrating that story through visual storytelling. Just as a journalist aims to tell the truth, I too strive to capture the truth of love.
So, as you embark on your own journey, searching for someone to document your love, remember that a photographer is more than just a person behind the camera. They are an artist of emotions, a storyteller with light, and a witness to your most cherished moments. Treat them as an integral part of your day, a guiding hand that will etch your love story onto the canvas of eternity.
