Cloudfields is my wedding photography company based in Bethesda, MD, and serving Washington, Maryland and northern Virginia.
I photograph weddings with a focus on authenticity and emotion, balancing photojournalism with the quest for the most beautiful shot.
I notice and immortalize real, unscripted moments of joy as they happen, unobtrusively.
I also take stunning, expressive portraits of your guests looking their best, making sure everyone is represented.
This is one of your life’s most meaningful moments, and the occasion for me to create images you’ll treasure for years to come!

I genuinely can't say enough good things about François and the photos he took at our countryside wedding. From start to finish, he was so easy to work with: attentive, graceful, n...
ever intrusive. It really shows in the final album.
He captured everything: the venue, the big moments, and portraits of guests from both sides of the family. What I love most about his portraits is that nobody looks stiff or posed. Somehow he manages to bring out each person's personality, which is such a rare thing. And the venue shots! He clearly had an eye for the light, catching it at that golden late-afternoon moment when everything just glows.
There's so much happiness in these photos. I keep going back to the album, and every time it feels like reliving the day all over again. Couldn't recommend François more highly!

Francois is such a great photographer and so easy to get along with.
Even though he wasn’t familiar with the specific traditions involved in an Afghan and Egyptian wedding, he sta...
yed incredibly focused throughout the entire event and didn’t miss any of the key moments. His photos feel joyful and lively, they tell the story of the day rather than looking stiff or overly posed.
One thing I really appreciated was how he interacted with our guests while taking portraits. He would engage in small talk, which clearly helped everyone relax in front of the camera. It may have been a bit of a ruse to capture more natural expressions, but it absolutely worked!
The wedding was entirely indoors, which could have made lighting tricky, but the final photos have beautiful, natural-looking light and colors. He also did a great job selecting the images so that none of our guests were left out, and everyone looks their best.
Francois is both talented and kind, and you can tell he truly cares about the final result. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
