Aurélie and Georges married at the town hall of Paris’s 13th arrondissement and celebrated their evening at La Catrache in the Yvelines. I photographed their wedding. This selection brings together images from their story, with two clear settings: their Paris town hall and the venue for their evening.
Their civil wedding in the 13th arrondissement
At the town hall of the 13th arrondissement, the civil wedding photographs introduce Aurélie and Georges to the story. Within this formal setting, I am interested in the people as much as the gestures of the ceremony. These images belong alongside the portraits and the celebration: they are part of the same wedding story.
The photographs show Aurélie getting ready, Georges in a blue suit, the ceremony in a wood-panelled room and the signing. A portrait on the steps extends this first group of images. I like bringing them together: details of an outfit and the gestures of a ceremony can belong to the same wedding without needing to look alike.
La Catrache, the setting of their evening
Aurélie and Georges’ evening took place at La Catrache in the Yvelines. The series also includes joined hands beneath a glass roof, an embrace with a loved one, portraits in a garden, then photographs of dinner and dancing. These images offer several ways into their story, beyond the formal part of the wedding.
The images here are a selection from this wedding. They complement the portfolio, which brings together photographs of several couples. Looking at one story separately also gives you time to see how I approach a set of images.
