French wedding photographer captures moments with flair
David Blateyron is a wedding photographer based in Puy-de-Dôme, France. He discovered his passion for photography in 2017, inspired by his desire to capture cherished memories of loved ones. David draws inspiration from well-known French photographers such as Patrick Lombaert and Henry Deroche, as well as filmmakers like Sergio Leone, Wes Anderson, and Christopher Nolan. With a background in music, particularly jazz, David's love for the genre influences his ability to capture classy and swinging moments at weddings and create slideshows with jazzy soundtracks. Although he is relatively new to the industry, David continuously learns through practicing with his children, attending workshops, and engaging in open discussions with other photographers. His unique style focuses on capturing the essence of complex scenes and transforming simple moments into epic pictures. David firmly believes that everyone deserves a remarkable photograph to preserve in a beautiful album and share with future generations. Regardless of location, weather, or the size of the wedding, David is dedicated to capturing the love between couples and telling their beautiful story to the world.
David brings a deeply personal, narrative-driven style to his work as a wedding photographer in Auvergne, Allier, and Beaujolais. After years as a family photographer, David meticulously crafts each wedding story by weaving together portraits, places, details, emotions, and the unique energy of the day. He believes a wedding is far more than a ceremony or a party—it is the gathering of loved ones, the joining of new families, and the promise of shared futures. David’s thoughtful reportage places the entire “clan” at the heart of every wedding, celebrating the moments, people, and connections that make each celebration epic and truly unforgettable. David’s passion for authentic storytelling extends to his epic family photography sessions, designed to make everyday adventures memorable at any age. Whether documenting sibling mischief at home, serene moments by a lakeside, or the camaraderie of a hiking trip, David creates relaxed sessions that reflect each family’s genuine spirit and connection. He encourages families to continue chronicling their stories through candid, emotion-filled photos—capturing the love, tenderness, and unique dynamics that evolve with time. With David, every ordinary moment is transformed into a cherished chapter in your family’s growing album.
