It's time to take a look back of 2019... And what a year it's been!<\/p>\n

The beginning of a new year as a photographer... Without taking a picture!<\/h3>\n

The year \"starts\" in March with my thesis defense, followed three days later by my participation in the super workshop Le guide du photographe de Mariage (which I recommend) with S\u00e9bastien Roignant. The five-day workshop was intense, convivial and full of teachings and encounters. I would like to thank all the photographers present for their feedback and their sharing of skills and tips.<\/p>\n

Puis vint l\u2019heure de mettre en \u0153uvre tous les acquis, cr\u00e9ation du site internet, application des conseils de mise en page de Seb\u2026 Et trouver les premiers mariages.La premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e, la difficult\u00e9 principale est de se sentir l\u00e9gitime, malgr\u00e9 une dizaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es d\u2019exp\u00e9rience photo\u2026 Mais je reparlerai de ce point pr\u00e9cis dans un prochain billet.<\/p>\n

My first steps as a wedding photographer<\/h3>\n

My first weddings, as a professional, are a little bit by chance, this question of legitimacy being quite central in the prospecting of brides and grooms, it is psychologically difficult to go to strangers to offer one's services despite years of practice of photography, whether in studio, natural portrait, during the day as well as in the evening... Or even at weddings! Because yes, my first two weddings are actually my 4th and 5th... But the previous ones were done as a guest amateur.th<\/span> and 5th... But the previous ones were done as a guest amateur.\"\ud83d\ude09\"\"\ud83d\ude09\"\u2026 Qui est mon second pr\u00e9nom d\u2019ailleurs).<\/p>\n

The first wedding was therefore that of Fran\u00e7oise and Christophe on 31\/08\/2019 in Parisot. It was also a double event since before the wedding took place the baptism of their twins H\u00e9l\u00e9na and Tom. You can find the details of this wedding by reading the following article: My first day as a Wedding Photographer<\/a>. It was also the occasion for me to make my first wedding photo book!<\/p>\n

\"The\"The<\/span><\/p>\n

And then came the civil wedding of Marie and Fran\u00e7ois on 02\/11\/2019 in Marseille... And what luck for this second wedding, the place was ideal: civil wedding at the central wedding and evening at the military mess overlooking the old port, a great opportunity in short. Once again, I dedicated a full article to them: Marie and Fran\u00e7ois - Part 1 : the civilian wedding<\/a>.Once again, the opportunity for me to implement storytelling within a photo book since they wanted to offer books to their respective families.<\/p>\n

\"Married\"Married<\/span><\/p>\n

2020, the year of photography and wedding<\/h3>\n

And here we are, the year is already over, heading for 2020... While 2019 was mainly used to set up my entire communication structure (website, design, Facebook page and others), 2020 should be my first full year as a wedding photographer.<\/p>\n

On the menu, already a few weddings planned, a photo series (more info coming \"\ud83d\ude09\"\"\ud83d\ude09\"\"\ud83d\ude09\"), and the search for domains, florists, designers \"coup de coeur\" with whom I would like to work. But also, I plan to attend 2-3 air meetings, in Toulouse and Switzerland.<\/p>\n

By the way, I take the opportunity to make a small ad: I'm looking for cosplayers with fantastic cosplay (like Harry Potter, but not necessarily from this world).<\/p>\n

I'll see you next year for the next review!<\/p>\n
