about me

Former aerospace engineer that studied and worked in Europe, Canada and the US, I am a storytelling traveling wedding and family photographer/videographer, based in Paris and the west coast of France (Vendée) where I have a studio.

My favorite things include sunsets, my kids' laughs, playing music, witness true love, traveling & meeting people to tell there stories.

Travel & photography have taken me to over 15 countries on 5 continents, from the cold Iceland & Sweden, to the beaches of tiny islands lost in the middle of the Indian Ocean..

My approach is to document your day in a photojournalistic and authentic way, capturing emotion in all the softness & poetry of the moment, without being noticed. I also love having fun with adventurous couples that make me go on hikes to spectacular places.

Happy to share my photos with you, and excited to hear about your projects!

If you’re looking for an amazing photographer for you wedding in Paris, Il était un Pixel is the studio for you. I was born is Paris, lived there for more than 30 years and shot hundreds of weddings, photos sessions, elopements, proposals here, and it is also here that I shot a lot of my award-winning photos.

As a Paris Photographer, I will guide you during the location selection process, give you all my tips and tricks for the best spots and times to shoot, to avoid crowds of tourists and get the best light in our beautiful city of love. I can also help provide you with important information in the city, whether you are looking for the best Make Up Artist or Florist in town, or a beautiful hotel to get ready in, I can make you suggestions based on your personal inputs.

English-speaking Photographer in Paris

I strive to create stunning wedding photos for bride and grooms getting married in Paris, from all over the world and not just France or Europe. I have been working almost full-time in english since 2010, I do work with a lot of international clients and you won’t need to learn French for your wedding day! If you live in Paris It’ll be my pleasure to meet you in person, but I am also well-equipped to virtually meet with Paris wedding clients that live abroad.

Wedding Photographers in France, west coast

Serving Nantes, Angers, Le Mans, Poitiers, Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Ile d’Yeu, Ile de Noirmoutier, Vendée, Pays-de-la-Loire, Brittany, the French riviera and France in general.

Based in the Vendée (west coast, Les Sables d’Olonne, near La Roche sur Yon) since 2019 but approximately visiting my family here 10 times a year for more than 20 years before that, I have a strong attachment to the french west coast area, and the ocean in general. Even though I shoot all over France, a lot of my weddings are next to the sea, whether it is here, in Brittany, in the south of France, etc. I am very fortunate to live a few minutes from the ocean, work with many extraordinary Vendée vendors, and I’m extremely pleased to be able to help brides coming from all over the world (I know, can you believe it!) to get married in our beautiful area.

Destination Wedding

I am also well-versed in destination weddings, that I have the pleasure to shoot for a few years now. I have been lucky enough to travel to 15 countries on 5 continents, shooting in Canada, the USA, Mauritius Island, the Seychelles Islands, Italy, Corsica, Sweden, Belgium, Greece and even tiny private islands in the Indian Ocean. I am very comfortable traveling to shoot events or photo sessions.

Services

Wedding and Portrait photographer, I offer services of wedding photography and videography, engagement sessions, family sessions, portrait sessions, both lifestyle natural light and in studio, as well as a range of studio photography sessions (maternity, newborn, and commercial product photography).

  • Testimonials

    The pictures from Jérémie were breathtaking and beautiful. Jérémie met us and took fantastic pictures. Jérémie's ability to speak English was very strong and the fact I couldn't speak French was not an issue as Jérémie was able to lead the photoshoot in English. I would highly recommend Jérémie to anybody wanting beautiful photos.
