Extremely impressed

François’s photos were the right choice for our wedding. He was professional, responsive and reliable to deal with, and the photography shows serious talent for both indoor and outdoor shots, leaving us with great memories of the day. A good balance of action shots and more composed, classic wedding photos. Extremely impressed.

Special memories

Our wedding had no shortage of cameras, but François's photos are the ones that truly captured the day. They're the ones I can't stop returning to. It was a joy to have François around on our big day. As a photographer he was friendly and unobtrusive and made everyone at ease around him as he worked. His eye for detail meant that he was able to create special memories of the atmosphere we’d planned, while also nailing the spontaneous moments of the day. Before and after the day, communication with François was seamless and we knew exactly what to expect. Overall a brilliant experience for a truly professional and very sensibly priced service. Highly recommend!

We couldn't have made a better choice

Francois was an absolute pleasure to work with: professional, warm, and genuinely attentive to everything we needed.
He had a rare gift for capturing the most significant moments of our ceremony while blending seamlessly into the background. The photos aren't just beautiful, they are deeply meaningful to all involved.


On top of all that, Francois was incredibly reasonable with his pricing and worked within our budget without compromising on efforts and quality. The results honestly blew us away. We couldn't have made a better choice, and we'd recommend him in a heartbeat!

Thank you Francois


Francois has a real talent for blending in and catching candid moments you didn't even know were happening. Nobody felt stiff or posed, everyone looked genuinely themselves. And the golden hour portraits he got are among our most beautiful memories from that day.

François has perfectly captured our special day !

I genuinely can't say enough good things about François and the photos he took at our countryside wedding. From start to finish, he was so easy to work with: attentive, graceful, never intrusive. It really shows in the final album.

He captured everything: the venue, the big moments, and portraits of guests from both sides of the family. What I love most about his portraits is that nobody looks stiff or posed. Somehow he manages to bring out each person's personality, which is such a rare thing. And the venue shots! He clearly had an eye for the light, catching it at that golden late-afternoon moment when everything just glows.

There's so much happiness in these photos. I keep going back to the album, and every time it feels like reliving the day all over again. Couldn't recommend François more highly!

Francois was great!

Francois is such a great photographer and so easy to get along with.
Even though he wasn’t familiar with the specific traditions involved in an Afghan and Egyptian wedding, he stayed incredibly focused throughout the entire event and didn’t miss any of the key moments. His photos feel joyful and lively, they tell the story of the day rather than looking stiff or overly posed.

One thing I really appreciated was how he interacted with our guests while taking portraits. He would engage in small talk, which clearly helped everyone relax in front of the camera. It may have been a bit of a ruse to capture more natural expressions, but it absolutely worked!

The wedding was entirely indoors, which could have made lighting tricky, but the final photos have beautiful, natural-looking light and colors. He also did a great job selecting the images so that none of our guests were left out, and everyone looks their best.

Francois is both talented and kind, and you can tell he truly cares about the final result. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Amazing wedding photographer

Francois handled the photography at my post-wedding reception, and he did a stellar job. The images we received were incredibly beautiful and sharp. They perfectly captured all of our guests. Francois is super friendly and really enjoys taking the best possible portraits of everyone. So many of my guests changed their profile pictures on social media to one of his photos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
