Ambre Peyrotty

How we created this image:
- it took us two tries, the first one being underlit because the moon was hidden by clouds
- I had to climb the mountain in 50cm of snow with a chair in my hand and try to make it stand on the slope
- I didn't take my tripod with me so I had to use the chair to put my camera down so it wouldn't move
- I was on manual focus, made automatically before the shot on the bright lights right by the couple
- the moon was very bright, so we didn't need a lot of additional light
- the couple was lit by the moon + my phone's torch
- Paule and Vincent had to stand still for a whole second so I wouldn't have movement in the picture
- it was freezing outside so I had to act quick
- 1 second was the perfect time with ISO1600, higher than that and the city's lights would have been too bright
- I used a 2-seconds self-timer so my finger pressing the shutter would not make any movement in the image
BUT
It was SO SO SO worth it!!!

This was such a calm moment. Inger-Merethe (the bride) asked her sister to do her makeup. They stayed at a magnificent luxury hotel in France and the view was wonderful. I had to capture the ambiance of the moment.

A bride gently pets her worried poodle dog while she gets ready for her destination wedding in France, in Château de Maulmont. She smiles while she gets ready and looks at him softly.

This picture was taken in a moment out of this world. We were walking around a beautiful lake and having a deep and meaningful conversation. We had a picnic under the stars, talking about kids, couple life travels...then we shot this image, in the very cold breeze, but it was still an amazing moment.

Marine and Etienne wanted some couples pictures taken in nature so we headed to the nearby woods to embrace the beautiful sunset.

Elodie and Dean got married in beautiful central France, where the forests are deep and the light is dim. So we organized their couple session in this amazing legendary forest!

Marine and Etienne had a wedding in East France and when we organized their session, the light was so amazing that I had to capture it close to this field. I loved it!

This was taken during the cocktail on the wedding day. Everybody was enjoying the warmth outside and the ambiance was nice. There was lamb cooking in the food truck and it smelled amazing. But I wanted to take pictures of the decoration inside so I walked around and found this "framed picture" with the window and the lights. I love the fact that it gave the whole scene a "museum-type" atmosphere and allowed me to create something I never had the occasion to!

Julie and Lionel got married in Central France and wanted something very special for their couples pictures. So we wandered into the woods and captured the beauty of autumn in the red leaves of a magical forest.

Sarah and Mark got married in a chateau in France and it was absolutely gorgeous. With a Joane Flemming dress, Sarah was stunning in the corridor of the chateau!
