Featured in Albe Editions: what it means for you

There are collaborations that make sense from the start. Without forcing anything. Without trying to convince. Simply because what truly matters in a wedding is never what shows the most.

For months now, I've noticed that couples who reach out to me—the ones I work best with—all share the same reference: Albe Editions. Not the typical tourist guides. Not generic wedding blogs. Albe.

When I discovered their editorial approach, I knew I wanted to be part of their directory. Their selection process focuses on photographers and vendors whose approach matches their vision. The alignment was there.

What Albe is (if you're not familiar yet)

Albe Editions isn't just another magazine with dresses and save-the-dates. It's a clear editorial line: bringing what's essential back to the center.

Their tagline? "L'essentiel du mariage" (The essence of marriage).

Their approach? Highlighting vendors who have a real vision, not just a commercial offering. Those who prioritize authenticity over spectacle. Understated refinement rather than Instagram effects. Real emotion rather than perfect poses.

They exist in print—those beautiful magazines you keep and browse months later—but also digital. And their social media presence speaks directly to couples seeking meaning, quality, intention.

Exactly the type of couples I've enjoyed working with for 25 years.

An alignment that flows naturally

When I discovered their universe, everything resonated.

Their "Lumière sur—Nos adresses coups de cœur" (Spotlight on—Our favorite addresses) section: me, refusing to shoot anywhere but during golden hour because light is non-negotiable.

Their "Mariage à son image" (Wedding that reflects who you are) article: me, sending a 35-page guide to my clients so they arrive serene, confident, and themselves.

Their "Refined Paradise" vision: me, photographing in French Polynesia for over two decades, not as an exotic postcard, but as a living territory with its codes, its light, its soul.

Albe doesn't list "all Tahiti photographers." They select those whose DNA matches their editorial line. Those who refuse the compromises the industry has normalized elsewhere.

To give you an idea: The Brando in Tetiaroa, Conrad Bora Bora. References that define excellence in Polynesia. That's the level of standards.

And that's exactly what I've been doing all along.

What this means for you

If you're planning your destination wedding or honeymoon in French Polynesia and browsing Albe Editions—print or digital—you'll now find me in their directory.

Not because "it's good for business." But because there's total consistency between what they stand for and what I photograph.

For my local clients in Tahiti? Nothing changes. My approach remains the same. My standards too. I continue delivering all photos worth keeping. Shooting exclusively at sunrise or sunset. Creating visual legacies, not just services.

But if you have friends, family, or colleagues planning a destination wedding in French Polynesia, you can tell them they'll find me through a reference they probably already know. One that speaks their language: the language of what's essential.

Why this matters (beyond me)

What touches me about this recognition is that it also elevates the perception of the Polynesian market.

Albe Editions positions Tahiti not as "beautiful exotic postcard imagery," but as a destination where you find real professionals capable of translating emotion with the same standards as anywhere else in the world. With an approach, a vision, a refusal of easy compromises.

It validates the entire local ecosystem. It tells discerning couples: "Yes, you can have this level of quality and authenticity here too."

And it motivates me to maintain that bar. To keep refusing everything that dilutes what's essential.

Moving forward

My profile is now live in their directory. If you're curious to discover the Albe universe—their approach to weddings, their favorite destinations, their vision of what truly matters—I encourage you to explore their website, magazine, and social media.

Note for English-speaking couples: While Albe Editions' content is primarily in French (it's a French luxury wedding publication, after all), their digital version is accessible worldwide and serves as an exceptional source of inspiration. The visual storytelling transcends language—and if you're planning a destination wedding in France or French territories like Tahiti, this aesthetic represents the refined French approach to celebrating love.

You'll find what you won't find anywhere else: an honest conversation about what a wedding is when you strip away everything superficial. Just the essential.

On my end, I continue doing what I've done for years: writing love with light. Revealing what already exists between you, without forcing anything. Delivering a visual legacy you'll be proud of in 20 years.

One session at a time. One couple at a time. Always during golden hour.
