Photography
I'm Jean-Luc — a UK-based wedding photographer who has spent decades photographing weddings, celebrations and portraits across the UK, France and further afield.
Meet your photographer
I bring a calm, documentary approach to French weddings, with a focus on real moments, natural light and flattering portraits that still feel like you.
Over the years I've photographed more than 500 weddings across the UK and France. I hold a French passport, which means I can travel and work freely anywhere in the EU — no visa paperwork, no extra friction for your venue. And I'm fluent in both English and French, so I can speak to your guests, your celebrant and your French suppliers without missing a beat.
Most of my couples are planning from the UK or abroad, so I keep the process simple — we talk through your plans on video calls, build a relaxed timeline together and leave space in the day for you to actually enjoy being with your guests.
Selected work
Thirty photographs from across the last few years — France, the UK and beyond. Click any image to open the gallery.
On the wedding day, I work quietly in the background for much of the time, stepping in with gentle direction only when it's genuinely helpful — for example during portraits or family group photos. The result is a set of images that feel honest, joyful and very much your own.
For destination weddings, I'm used to working across multiple days — welcome drinks, the wedding day itself, brunch or beach hangs the day after. I bring all my own kit and back-up equipment, communicate in plain English throughout, and deliver every wedding via a private online gallery you can share with friends and family.
Coverage
Starting points, not fixed boxes. Coverage is tailored to your venue, timings and travel plans.
Bridal preparations through to late-night dancing, with a relaxed portrait session at some point in the day and plenty of candid coverage in between.
Perfect for destination weddings where everyone is staying on-site. Coverage can include welcome drinks, the wedding day itself and a relaxed brunch or pool party the following day.
For smaller weddings of 30 guests or fewer — a more concentrated half-day or full-day session focused on the ceremony, portraits and an intimate dinner.
I'm based in the UK and shoot widely across England as well as throughout France. A broader selection of my work, including UK-based weddings, is available at madlywed.co.uk.
The full portfolio — including UK weddings, packages and direct enquiry — lives on my photography site.
