About

I've had a passion for photography for as long as I can remember. After earning a Master's Degree in Fine Art & Photography in my home country of France, I decided to explore the world to capture different cultures, places, and sights. With each new destination, my passion for photography continued to grow. All of the amazing places I've lived and worked have influenced my photography and fueled my love of people and natural beauty. I now split my time between Portland, Oregon and Maui, Hawaii as my home bases. As a lifestyle and destination wedding photographer, I’m forever grateful for the incredible opportunity to be able to work and travel around the world - and am happy and proud to share my expertise in travel and photography to capture your story.

The Perfect Day

A wedding is something that flashes by and in an instant the day is gone and the dress is off never to be worn again. to capture the light of our wedding day is what Francois did and we are able to see every candid moment capturing the celebration of our love. He was great having wonderful placement and open to our visions as well. Our pictures could not have come out better.

Francois absolutely exceeded our expectations for not only our wedding day, but also our "Trash the Dress" ceremony a few days later. He truly made our Hawaiian getaway extra special. He is a class act that completely removed the stress of trying to pick a photographer sight unseen. In short, he rocks. Thank you again, Francois!!!!!!!!!!

Francois took beautiful pictures of our wedding ceremony. It's easy to work with him, he's really friendly and humorously. We had a lot of fun during the shooting and the pictures are amazing.
The communication via email and the exchange of the photos were easy-going.
