About

Hi, I'm Nicolas

Wedding videographer in Provence and on the French Riviera since 2010.

Filming without being noticed

My goal: to capture your wedding as faithfully as possible, adapting to each couple's style.

I started out in 2010 and have since filmed over 200 weddings. Out of season, I work in extreme sports — kitesurfing and wingfoiling — as a videographer for the French Sailing Federation. Two different worlds, one same requirement: being in the right place to catch the moment.

I favour discretion. Thanks to telephoto lenses, I film from a distance so emotions stay natural: a shared glance, laughter backstage, a father's hand trembling just slightly.

How I work

What makes the difference

Discretion

No forced staging. I let you live your day, and I capture the emotions as they happen.

Sound

Speeches and music are recorded at the source, straight from the amp output, then enhanced with ambient sound for a lively result.

Editing

This is where the film really lives: pacing, titles, moments of emotion and celebration balanced for a film you'll want to watch again and again.

In the field

My equipment, at the service of your film

The drone

Included in all my packages. Seen from the sky, your venue shows its full scale: estate, vineyards, seafront.

Tripod and telephoto lens

The foundation of my work. Standing at a distance, I capture a look or an expression discreetly, for a more natural result.

The steadycam

This stabiliser lets me follow you as you move among your guests, with smooth footage where nothing shakes.

Evening lighting

As soon as night falls, I add a light on the camera: your dances and party moments stay sharp and bright.

What you receive

Two films, two ways to relive the day

The cinematic short film tells your wedding story in a few minutes, with the feel of a real film.

The behind-the-scenes film, about 90 minutes long, gathers all the key moments: ceremony, speeches, dancing... so nothing is lost.
