Years ago, I never imagined life would whisk me from Provence’s lavender-scented hills to Australia’s sprawling beaches. But life has a way of surprising us. My journey as a French expat in Australia wasn’t merely about adapting to a new country; it was a voyage of self-discovery. Now, back in Provence, I’m rebuilding my photography business with a fresh perspective on life, love, and connection.
I arrived in Australia brimming with curiosity and ambition. Melbourne taught me the meaning of hard work and hustle, its creative energy magnetic. There, I built my first wedding photography business, capturing love stories against stunning backdrops—from lush vineyards to rugged coastlines and vast skies. It’s also where I met Jordan, my Australian husband, whose passion for coffee and adventure mirrored my own spirit.
Together, we crafted a life rich in love, travel, and family, blessed with two beautiful children. Yet, a part of me yearned for home. Provence called to me, not just for its beauty, but for its grounding presence. When we decided to relocate our family, I knew I’d be starting anew, both personally and professionally.
Starting over is daunting. I’d invested years in Australia growing my business, forging connections, and finding my voice. Returning to Provence meant facing a place that had evolved as much as I had. But this “restart” has been a gift, allowing me to apply everything I’ve learned—about photography, relationships, and resilience—to create a business that truly reflects who I’ve become.
Provence, with its golden light and timeless allure, is more than just a backdrop—it’s integral to my story. It’s where my roots lie, where I want to raise my children, and where I find daily inspiration. My photography is shaped by this journey—from French expat to Australian entrepreneur and back again. This unique perspective infuses every wedding I capture.
This business transcends mere photography; it’s about celebrating connections, heritage, and the unique paths that bring us together. It’s about crafting something deeply personal and meaningful, whether you’re discovering Provence for the first time or returning to a place that feels like home.
So here I am, back at the beginning, yet with a heart enriched by experiences that make every step worthwhile. If you’re planning your wedding in Provence or Europe, I’d be honored to tell your story, capturing it with the same love and care that brought me home. Let’s create something truly extraordinary together.
