I photographed Emmanuelle and Yoan’s wedding, a story connecting Levallois town hall with a celebration at Domaine de Verchant near Montpellier. This page brings together a selection from their wedding photographs. Two locations, one couple: the images belong to their story, which cannot be reduced to a single address.
Levallois and Verchant, two parts of their wedding
Levallois town hall is the setting of their civil wedding. Domaine de Verchant, in Castelnau-le-Lez near Montpellier, is the other venue in their celebration. Their story connects the Paris region with the south of France. In the photographs, I keep the couple at the centre, alongside the people around them and their shared moments.
The images move from civil wedding outfits to a long wedding dress, preparations, an outdoor ceremony and portraits in a garden. Embraces and dancing also have their place in the series. These photographs bring together several parts of their wedding. They let you follow the people through changes of clothing, setting and moment.
Looking at a wedding story as a whole
I look for a connection between portraits and the rest of a wedding reportage. Each photograph has a different role: some give a sense of place, some bring us closer, and others allow us to find a familiar person again. This variety matters to me. It gives couples different ways to return to their story, depending on what they want to see.
This page is a selection, rather than Emmanuelle and Yoan’s complete gallery. It introduces one wedding photographed by Trentième Etage, alongside the other celebrations in the portfolio.
