I was born and raised in Paris, France, and now call El Paso, Texas home.

I've been photographing weddings since 2010, and after all these years, I'm still grateful to serve as an El Paso wedding photographer, helping couples hold onto the people and moments that matter most.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me exploring national parks, chasing desert sunsets, or searching for good bread and cheese.

hello there

i am stephane.

Give me an open road, desert light, and the sound of my Mustang V8, and I’m happy...

There’s something calming about driving through the desert with nowhere to rush.

I was born and raised in Paris, France, so desert sunsets still feel a little magical to me.

I don't think I'll ever get used to them.

As a teenager in Paris, roller skating was freedom.

I still skate whenever I can here in El Paso, just with a little more caution now.

I originally found this spot while scouting for an engagement session.

Later, it became the place where I proposed.

San Francisco will always be a special place to me.

Still my favorite show.

And yes… I learned a lot of my English from watching Friends.

Here's something not many people know about me...

I grew up in the '80s, and Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows.

Truth be told... I'm still a big fan.
That opening theme instantly takes me back to being a kid.

I love exploring national parks with a camera in hand.

I could spend hours waiting for the right light, and honestly, I enjoy the waiting just as much as taking the photograph.
Arches National Park still fascinates me every time I visit.

I don't stop being a photographer when a wedding ends.

I'm just as happy chasing the Milky Way as I am documenting a wedding day.
There's something special about slowing down, looking up, and realizing how incredible our world really is.

I'm a nostalgic person by nature.

Living far from the people and places I grew up with has made me appreciate printed photographs in a different way.

There's something deeply satisfying about turning a favorite memory into something you can hold.

Living in Texas has been an incredible adventure.

But I'll always miss fresh bread, neighborhood cafés, and the simple joy of watching life unfold from a terrace in Paris.

When I take time off, you’ll usually find me:

A Few Things That Make Me, Me

FUN FACT:
proud brother, I photographed my sister's wedding

What began as a long-distance relationship eventually led me to take the biggest leap of my life.

At 30 years old, I packed my life into a couple suitcases and moved from Paris, France to El Paso, Texas.

Born in France. living in Texas

It all started in 2007, after I met someone from El Paso on MySpace.

Moving Across the World Changed the Way I See Photographs

I followed my gut and left Paris, trusting that some paths are worth taking because wondering "what if" would have stayed with me far longer than the risk itself.

I was learning a new language, adapting to a new culture, and rebuilding my life from the ground up.

It was terrifying.

It was exciting.

And it changed me completely.

Living far from my family changed the way I see photographs.

The visits became less frequent. The moments we shared became more precious.

That's when I realized photographs are more than images.

They're a way to hold onto the people you love.

That experience is deeply connected to the way I photograph weddings today.

Every wedding is about relationships. Parents. Grandparents. Siblings. Friends. The people who have shaped your life.

I want your photographs to become more than a reminder of what your wedding looked like. I want them to bring you back to what it felt like to be surrounded by the people you love.

The people, places, and little moments I care about most.

There’s something special about exploring new places with your favorite person.

I am deeply aware of how rare it is to have the people you love ALL TOGETHER in one place.

let's chat

If you're looking for an El Paso wedding photographer who values relationships, family, and photographs that grow more meaningful with time, I'd love to meet you.

I believe

• Family Comes First
Being far from my own family has reminded me how meaningful it is to have the people you love together. That's the part of a wedding I'll never take for granted.

• Presence Over Perfection
I'd rather help you enjoy your wedding than spend the day chasing perfect poses. The best photographs usually happen when you're simply being yourselves.

• Photographs Grow More Valuable With Time
Years from now, I hope these photographs become part of your family's story and are passed down to the next generation.

• Every Wedding Matters to Me
I know you only get one chance to live this day.
I never take the responsibility of documenting it lightly.

Leaving my family changed the way I see weddings.

Today, as an El Paso wedding photographer, I have the privilege of documenting one of the few days when the people you love are all together.

Parents.

Grandparents.

Childhood friends.

The people who have shaped your life.

A wedding is one of the few moments when they're all there, celebrating the same story.

That's why I photograph weddings.

Not simply to document how the day looked, but to preserve what it felt like to be surrounded by the people you love.

Because years from now, I believe those photographs become more than memories.

They become part of your family's story.
