documentary wedding photographer in europe
Or rather, this was me, a long time ago.
Back then, I didn’t know that photographs would one day become my way of keeping what I never wanted to lose.
When my grandfather passed away, one of the first things I searched for was a photo of us together. But I couldn’t find one, not a recent one, anyway. That absence left a quiet ache, a small emptiness I still feel today.
Maybe that’s why I do what I do now, to make sure others never feel that same emptiness. To create images that hold love, time, and truth, because someday, they’ll be all that remains.
this is me, lauriane
(pronounced "lor-ian")
I began photographing weddings in 2014, first for friends, then for strangers who became friends.
What I learned along the way is simple: the beauty of a photograph isn’t in how perfect it looks, but in how deeply it feels.
That’s what I aim for, images that tell the truth, softly, honestly, and forever.
this is me now
still chasing light, still trying to hold on to what matters.
"Lauriane is feeling and emotion. She has an incredible potential to connect with every human being. She is easy to deal with, easy to become part of the lives of others without even realizing it. Her sensitivity is not something that can go unnoticed, it allows her to reach the last corner of a heart. Thanks to that, she can easily connect and tell the story from the purest emotion."
little Things We Might Have in Common
I’m the oldest of three, and my little brother is thirty years younger than me, he’s my daily reminder that joy never really grows up.
I have a few tattoos, a slightly wild cat named Nala (a nod to my favourite Disney ever), and an ever-growing collection of funny socks.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me painting something abstract with good music spinning on vinyl, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee surrounded by fresh flowers.
I’m a Harry Potter fan at heart, an Aquarius through and through, and a little obsessed with the number nine.
And if any of this sounds a little like you, I think we’ll get along just fine.

FAQ
You’ll always receive your photos in a private online gallery especially made for you. The delivery depends on the volume of work, but you will have the photos at most three weeks after the event.
For many weddings, yes, I often work alone and capture the full story seamlessly.
For two of my collections, though, a second photographer joins me. It allows us to tell your story from two perspectives, capture more emotion, and ensure every moment — big or small — is beautifully remembered.
Let's look at the calendar first! If I have your date available, I will be happy to have a chat over a coffee or by video call. Then, to book and block your date, the contract would be signed and a 30% deposit would be paid. I highly recommend to book with enough advance, months between May and September are very busy. Inquire here to receive more information.
Yes, yes and yes! I’ll go wherever you need. The only thing you have to do is to tell me where and when and I’ll make sure I’ll offer you the most personalized service.
Weddings from 8h of coverage start at €4'500 (Euros). But there are different options (for shorter weddings for example), the best thing to do is to ask me directly to be able to advise you in the best way. Don’t be shy and ask away, no strings attached.
It depends on what you'll choose. I can be at your disposal from the "getting ready" (which is usually between 1h and 1h30 before the ceremony), until 1h after the start of the dance.
Yes, I do both! Filmmaking has always been part of my work and background, and I approach it with the same care and emotion as photography.
You can choose to have me as your photographer or as your filmmaker, depending on how you want your story to be told. Both capture emotion — just in different ways. You can discover more on my Wedding Film page.
