Sophie & Soud

Ferme du Couvent, France

Some couples you meet, and the connection is immediate.

Sophie and Soudsana are both from the same generation as me, with that same old-school spirit — from music to cars and everything in between. But what really stood out was their incredible kindness and the way they made the whole day feel effortless.

And then came the evening… Soutsana surprised everyone with an unexpected R&B dance routine. One of those moments you simply couldn’t plan — and definitely had to photograph.

Location

Set in the south of Seine-et-Marne, La Ferme du Couvent is a beautifully restored former farmhouse turned wedding estate.

The property is vast, charming and full of character, with plenty of space for a wedding to unfold naturally. I’ve photographed here several times — including a helicopter arrival — and the scale of the estate always leaves room for something unexpected.
