Why this intimate wedding with 20 guests was better than 200 attendees
Do you dream of a wedding that truly reflects who you are?
G and M understood it: sometimes, less is infinitely more.
When intimate becomes magnificent
Facing the lagoon, a sunset in Moorea, 20 carefully chosen people. No stress, no suffocating protocol... just the essential: your love and those who truly matter.
The secret? A team of vendors who know each other, trust each other, and share the same vision of exceptional weddings.
"De mer en filles": when decoration becomes poetry
When you encounter Sophie's work from "De mer en filles," you immediately understand the difference between making things pretty and creating emotion.
Her compositions? They tell your story before you even say your vows.
Concrete example: Where others accumulate, she purifies. Where others copy Pinterest, she invents your unique universe.
The wedding day: from golden hour to starlight
5 PM - The ceremony Golden hour requires it (you know me), ceremony facing this sunset that, that evening, didn't set the lagoon ablaze, but the light was only more magical!
Result: Photos where light literally writes your love.
7 PM - The intimate dinner Magical transition to a candlelit and string-lit meal. Same setting, completely reinvented atmosphere.
What nobody tells you about intimate weddings
Myth: "Fewer guests = less expensive" Reality: You invest the same amount, but in excellence rather than quantity.
Result? Every detail is perfect. Every moment, precious.

P.S. G and M wrote to me the next day: "So many emotions, so many memories, a huge thank you to both of you for your discretion, your kindness, your gentleness, your generosity, your sweetness, in short everything that makes you unforgettable people. You marked our story, our wedding, our hearts!"
That's exactly it, writing love with light.
