Hi, I’m Mégane, a French-English bilingual photographer with a deep love for beauty that feels real
As a photographer for weddings in Cognac, my approach blends editorial elegance with the honesty of documentary storytelling
To create images that feel alive, I work across digital and 35mm film.
Alongside photography, I also offer content creation in each package, so your memories live beautifully both in your gallery and beyond.
I’ll gently guide you when it matters and disappear into the background when it doesn’t

CUSTOMISABLE ADD-ONS TO SUIT YOUR DAY
THE WAY I WORK
From the first hello to the last image
Your journey begins with my contact form. From there, we’ll schedule a video call to connect, dive into your vision, and chat through the details. You’ll then receive a personalised quote in your private client space. When everything feels right, a signed contract and 30% deposit will lock in your date.
One month before the wedding, you’ll get access to your personalized Notion hub and a detailed guide to stay on track. Then, a week before the big day, we’ll have a final call to review everything and ensure you feel calm and ready.
Within 7 days, you’ll receive a sneak peek to relive the magic and keep the excitement going. Your full gallery will follow within 6 to 8 weeks thoughtfully edited, beautifully curated, and ready to be shared, cherished, and remembered for years to come.
How can we even put it into words?
Mégane made us relive our entire day
and we were truly moved as we discovered the gallery
The photos are stunning
Even better than we could have imagined!
She captured knowing glances, pure joy
on our loved ones’ faces, deep emotion in their eyes…
Thanks to her work, we’ll forever keep
an incredible memory of this day
Her work is exceptional and beyond that,
we’ll always remember how lovely it was to have her with us
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

KIND WORDS
F.A.Q.
DO YOU TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE CHARENTE REGION AND BEYOND?
Of course. I regularly shoot from Cognac to Angoulême, Jarnac or the vineyards near Segonzac. I’m also available for weddings across the South West and elsewhere. Wherever your celebration unfolds, I’ll be there.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR BIG DAY?
Ideally, couples book 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak season. But you can absolutely reach out up to 3 months before your Cognac wedding. If I’m still available, I’d be happy to join you.
DO YOU WORK WITH ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUPLES PLANNING A DESTINATION WEDDING IN COGNAC?
Yes, yes, yes. I’m a bilingual photographer working with couples from the US, UK or Australia planning their big day in Cognac and nearby. Communication is smooth from start to finish so you can fully enjoy the experience with me.
WHAT IF OUR CELEBRATION LASTS MORE THAN ONE DAY?
Sounds perfect. I offer custom coverage for multi-day weddings from the welcome dinner to the main event and even the recovery brunch.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU’RE UNEXPECTEDLY UNAVAILABLE?
If something truly prevents me from being there (hasn’t happened in over 4 years), a trusted Cognac wedding photographer I personally recommend will take over. And I’ll still edit every photo to reflect my signature style.
HOW DO YOU KEEP OUR IMAGES SAFE?
I’ve got your back and your backup. Everything is saved in multiple locations (yes, including the cloud) so your memories are always safe.
CAN YOU HELP US FEEL COMFORTABLE? WE’RE CAMERA-SHY
No stiff posing. I use simple prompts to help you connect, laugh, move, and just be yourselves. That’s how we get photos that feel real and true to you.
