Enchantée,
I’m Lina, a documentary wedding photographer in the South of France
And a life lover
Wedding photographer based in the South of France,
I live now in the Lot, between Dordogne and Toulouse, surrounded by old stone villages, quiet landscapes, and a slower rhythm of life.
I photograph weddings across France — from Dordogne and Bordeaux to Toulouse, and further south toward Provence and Avignon — for couples who are drawn to art, culture, and images with meaning.
INFLUENCES
Travel and art as the foundation of my documentary wedding photography
Rooted in the South, influenced by travel
Before settling here, I lived in Paris, Bordeaux, Montpellier, and even Chicago, and spent months traveling the world with a backpack and a camera. Moving between cities, countries, and cultures shaped the way I look at people and places, and deeply influenced the values I stand for — inclusivity, tolerance, and open-mindedness.
Choosing to live in the countryside was a conscious shift. The slower pace and raw landscapes now influence how I work. I’m drawn to natural light, quiet moments, and days that unfold without rush — the kind of atmosphere found in small villages in Dordogne, where time feels slightly stretched.
Photography as memory and document
I studied art at Sorbonne university, and that background still shapes the way I approach photography. I see photography as a document — a witness to time passing. Not a performance or an idealized version of reality, but a way to honor memory, connection, and love as they truly are.
Meanwhile, I work with both digital photography and 35mm film. Film slows the process, introduces texture and imperfection, and creates images that feel closer to memory itself. The result is imagery that holds time gently, and gives memory the space it deserves.
Digital and Film wedding photographer
If you’re looking for images that feel warm, honest, and effortlessly elegant, the kind that make you say “this feel like us » : you’re in the right place.
Before the wedding, we’ll work together to build a timeline that flows naturally and talk about creative direction and moldboards. On the day itself, I focus on what matters: the people, the emotions, the in-between moments. I guide when it helps, but never interrupt the story.
Throughout the day, I also shoot on 35mm film, for its unique texture and timeless depth, a softness that adds soul to the story you’re telling. If that resonates with you, I’d be happy to meet you on a call and hear more about your day.
