a fashion-driven PARIS wedding at HÔTEL de CRILLON & AUTOMOBILE CLUB de FRANCE
CLASSIC PARIS, PHOTOGRAPHED WITH THE ENERGY OF FASHION.
The Hôtel de Crillon, La Madeleine and the Automobile Club de France offered a distinctly classical Parisian setting.
The intention was to create a completely different photographic energy, direct flash, strong contrast, movement and unexpected framing, bringing something modern and instinctive to some of the city’s most timeless surroundings.
The day began at the Hôtel de Crillon, where they chose to get ready together in the same suite, an intimate and deliberately non-traditional start to the celebration.
A CLASSICAL BACKDROP.
A MODERN POINT OF VIEW
La Madeleine was the perfect contrast for the visual language we had developed together.
Rather than photographing its grandeur in a traditional way, I kept the same sense of immediacy throughout, flash, movement and unconventional compositions, allowing the architecture to remain timeless while the photographs felt distinctly contemporary.
Throughout the day, the photography moved between instinct and direction.
I stepped in when an image needed structure or confidence, then stepped back when the moment was stronger on its own.
At the Automobile Club de France, the approach became increasingly spontaneous.
Cocktail, dinner and dancing unfolded as reportage, preserving the energy of the evening while remaining faithful to the visual direction established from the very beginning.
“To be photographed by David was beyond our expectations. Our wedding pictures are amazing, they look like they’re straight out of a magazine!”
