Wedding photographer in the Dordogne

The Dordogne has been my playground since I started shooting weddings: its golden stone châteaux, rivers and countryside estates offer a rare backdrop to tell the story of a wedding day.

I live in Eyliac, a few minutes from Périgueux, and cover the whole department — from Bergerac to Sarlat, through the Vézère valley.

Why the Dordogne?

It's a region where the light changes all day long: golden on the stone in the morning, softer over the vineyards and rivers in the late afternoon.

The estates and châteaux that host weddings here offer backgrounds that don't need staging — my job is mostly about being in the right place at the right time.

From the first message to the last kiss

01

First conversation

A call or a meeting to talk about your day, the venue, and see if we click — that matters for such an intimate moment.

02

Preparation

Venue scouting if needed, discussing the planned schedule, and any specific points of attention (family, timing, surprises).

03

The big day

Discreet presence from the morning preparations to the opening dance, never interrupting the flow of the day.

04

After the wedding

Selection and editing of the best images, delivery of an online gallery and a physical support.

Frequently asked questions

What does a wedding photographer in the Dordogne cost?

Pricing depends on coverage length and chosen options. Details are on the pricing page; a tailored quote is always possible after a first conversation.

What area do you cover exactly?

The whole Dordogne (Périgueux, Bergerac, Sarlat, Vézère valley) and Nouvelle-Aquitaine more broadly. Further travel is possible, with travel costs added.

How long until we receive the photos?

Allow 6 to 8 weeks on average for the full edited gallery. A first selection of images is sent within days of the wedding.

Do you offer drone shots?

Yes, at venues where it's suitable and subject to the necessary permits — to be discussed together ahead of the wedding.

Can we visit the venue together before the wedding?

It's even recommended when possible: a site visit helps anticipate the light and the best spots for photos.
