Cette expérience fut un vrai moment de plaisir. La découverte des photos du jour de notre mariage nous a permis de prendre conscience de toutes les émotions et petits moments de partage que nous ne pouvions pas voir, et a enrichi encore nos souvenirs. Il y a deux choses dont j’étais sûre pour le jour J: Le choix du mari…et le choix du photographe !

Chrystel you're perfect. Living abroad, you immediately put us in confidence with a skype call where we talked about our wishes and your way of working. You was very professional from start to finish. We talked about the timing and the agenda together to be sure to anticipate every key moment to capture. During the day you were very discreet and always smiling. I really trusted you and didn't need to worry about you at all, I knew you would take whatever it took. The photos we received were all very beautiful and we are delighted ! You knew how to capture a mix of details, overview and intimate moments. I would highly recommend your services ! Thank you again!
