I was born and raised in Paris. Now nestled in the vibrant heart of New Orleans, LA, I share my life with my beautiful wife and our spirited 3-year-old son.
I’ve discovered my passion through street photography, which I still love. Capturing candid expressions & emotions has always fascinated me.
I then realized I needed to do more: tell stories. This brought me to documentary photography. I have published my work in various magazines & newspapers in France and the US.
Finally, wedding photography offered me the best of both world: documenting your story via unique & candid moment!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional and made everything so easy. He helped us with the timing of the day, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted without any stress. His attention to detail and ability to capture the perfect moments was amazing. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer. Thank you so much for making our day even more memorable!

Wayan is so amazing to work with! If you've seen any of his work on his website or portfolio or instagram, it's obvious how talented he is. We prefer more candid, editorial style photos, which is why we were originally drawn to Wayan's work, and if that's something you're interested in, definitely work with him! He's not only professional and communicative, but also just a really cool and interesting person to talk with. He has a great eye for interesting compositions and has a talent for capturing the little moments you might have otherwise missed. We're in love with our photos and our guests love the photos they're in as well!

We're very happy we chose to work with Wayan to shoot our elopement and love the photographs he took. He was super easy to work with and helped us plan the day. He shoots in a documentary style and all his photos feel very lively and real, even the shots he helped stage. We're super awkward and don't like being photographed typically, so if he made us look good he can make anyone look good.

Wayan was so easy to work with for our wedding weekend photography. We had several calls to get to know each other and his artistic style. He worked with us in advance on our vision for portraits and group shots. If you have specific poses/types of photos that you want, just let him know.
On our wedding day, he did a great job of setting the tone for a seamless photography experience. We had a separate company for our video and Wayan worked well with that team throughout the weekend.
His images speak for themselves — such rich, vibrant color, a great selection of b & w, and bright energy. He really captured the most beautiful moments of our love.

We had Wayan as our photographer for our small wedding in Feb 2024. He was wonderful and made picture taking flawless and easy. We had a set shot list and then mostly candid photos. We can't wait to see our wedding photos!:)

Wayan was amazing. Professional, creative, kind — everything we could’ve wanted and more in a photographer. He was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, and made us feel so at ease and taken care of during the wedding planning and execution chaos. During the ceremony, we hardly noticed he was there and the pictures came out so beautifully candid — he captured so many precious moments!

Hi Arianna,

Gorgeous pictures, and absolutely stunning work! We got married this September, and I can't express how wonderful Wayan was throughout the entire planning and wedding day experience. He took pictures of the bridal party getting ready, the first look with my dad, portrait shots of the family, wedding, reception, and even shots of spontaneous things that happened throughout the day that I was so happy he caught! We had opted for one of his packages which included a second photographer to take pictures of the groomsmen getting ready, and those pictures came out stunning as well! Wayan was professional, kind, and considerate of what we wanted for our pictures. He maintained great communication throughout and helped make the day a fun and stress-free experience. We'd choose him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him for his awesome work! - Olivia and Michael

AMAZING!!!! I cannot put into words the talent of Wayan and how he works magic with his camera. He created photos that captured the feeling and emotions of the entire night. I know that when I look back at those photos I will be able to feel that same energy for a lifetime. He is also an awesome person, who listens, gives advice, and helps in anyway he can. If you get the opportunity to work with him you will never regret it. 1000% recommended!!!!

Exceptional talent, communication, kindness. We can't say enough great things about the experience we had with Wayan - he felt like a friend by the end of it all! So grateful to have the beautiful shots he captured and the chance to work with such a phenomenal artist. Would hire him again in a heartbeat (and we're very picky about aesthetics!).

Wayan was quick to respond from our very first email inquiry. Communication with him was easy during the planning process and through our rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception and the delivery of photos. We had a venue change at the last minute because of rain and he was able to accommodate. Wayan captured beautiful moments in light drizzle, direct sunshine, and even in the brake light glow of our late night second line. We had folks with dark skin, light skin & everything in between; he knew how to make us all look incredible in the same lighting.
Wayan has the eye for the candid shot, so in addition to stunning formal portraits, he also captured spontaneous moments from our wedding that reflect the intimacy, beauty & joy our family was feeling. Hiring him to photograph our wedding was easily one of the best decisions we made, we would hire him again for another event in a heartbeat!

We were so happy to have Wayan as our wedding photographer. We were able to discuss very easily with him prior to the ceremony to share our ideas and constraints for the D-Day. Wayan has a great eye to capture key moments and to express the vibe of our ceremony through his pictures. For our couple session, he made us feel confortable and propose a large variety of shoots. We were very surprised on how quick the gallery was ready for us to enjoy the pictures and the memories. We can only advice you to hire him !

Booked for an engagement shoot. Wayan was SO awesome!! We were running late to the proposal (which I had no idea about, obv) and he was incredibly accommodating for us. He had great ideas for locations, and was able to catch the light perfectly throughout our session (from 5-7ish, so this included sunset). He had a lot of ideas and also entertained ours (including a hilarious titanic-esque shot). Book him, you won't regret it!

We hired Wayan for our engagement photos and couldn't be happier with every step of the process. Wayan was responsive and detail-oriented with all of our communications setting up our engagement photo shoot and he went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great shoot. He was open to our ideas for the shoot, but also offered some great suggestions that really made the photo session memorable and beautiful. He met us early at our set location and kept things fun and light throughout, and he captured that fun spirit in our photos. He even offered to drive us to a couple locations as we were visiting from out of town.
He edited and shared the photos from our shoot very quickly - it only took a few days after our session to be able to review his great work. His photos are amazing and really captured our special day! He shared dozens of his favorites and also included a second round of additional photos.
At every step, Wayan was communicative, friendly, professional and brought a great creativity and spirit to our shoot. I would highly recommend Wayan for your engagement or wedding photos, he's excellent!
