Oliver, wedding photographer
Originally from the Bassin d'Arcachon, I settled in Langres after stays in Saint-Étienne, Berlin and Bratislava. So, technically, this little town in Haute-Marne belongs to the Grand-Est region, but it's ideally situated for me to cover your wedding in Burgundy, France, or anywhere in the world.
An adventurer at heart, I know Berlin like the back of my hand, have a Brazilian passport and have learned to negotiate in Khmer with Phnom Penh's tuk-tuk drivers. So I'm ready to photograph your adventures, whatever they may be!
Trained as an engineer, I had known for a long time that photography would be my profession. In 2017, I attended the wedding of a classmate. The next step was obvious: I was going to be a wedding photographer.
I like people. I love to see you happy. I love to see you share these strong, sincere moments with your friends, your parents, your loved ones. I love photographing them. I love this demanding specialty, which allows me both to express my art and my technique, and to experience all these emotions with you.
I'm really lucky to be a wedding photographer.
L’erreur sur mon prénom ? Classique. Si vous m’appelez correctement dès le premier essai, je peux vous assurer que cela me fera plaisir !
Le prénom sonne anglo-saxon, mais il me vient pourtant de ma mère brésilienne, pays où les prénoms sont souvent originaux : elle aurait pu m’appeler Ludwig von Beethoven ou Alain Delon, j’ai évité le pire. Si j’avais cru qu’en vivant à Berlin, les allemands ne se tromperaient pas, c’était sans compter les berlinois tout fiers de savoir : “Ach, Olivier en France !”
En tout cas, ces expériences font que je parle couramment anglais, allemand, et portugais du Brésil.
I play tennis, cycle (much less than I'd like to), I'm a Sixers and French biathlon team fan, I took up chess after watching The Queen's Gambit, I love cooking (especially for my wife), reading fantasy (Katz or Jaworski, anyone?) and Piketty books, dance until noon in a Berlin club, play board games (4 Gods, RFTG), add parentheses to my sentences, read photo books, look at photos. And above all, take photos.
