Le Rat et L'Ours

Specialists in wedding reportage based in Besançon, Le Rat et L'Ours approach wedding photography with a designer’s eye and the gentle touch of a creative duo. Our signature is a blend of documentary accuracy and refined aesthetics — our first aim is to tell the story of your day, to capture true emotions, discreet gestures and the details that give meaning. Why choose us? Because we combine fifteen years of graphic sensibility and a strong commitment to quality and coherence with a thoughtful photographic practice. Le Rat, trained in graphic design, pays particular attention to composition, color and the visual harmony of your images; L’Ours brings an artisanal sensitivity and a focus on textures and materials. Together we build a wedding reportage that is both a faithful memory and a considered image. Our approach is discreet, warm and personalised. We favour natural, reportage-style coverage — from preparations through to exchanges on the dance floor — while gently stepping in for portraits when it’s necessary to create a suspended moment. The idea is not to soften reality but to elevate authenticity through careful framing and considered light. We also love to reveal the small details (stationery, décor, looks) that compose the atmosphere of your day. How we work: an initial meeting to discuss your wishes and the atmosphere you want, a discreet presence on the wedding day to let moments unfold, followed by a rigorous selection and careful editing of the images. Our dual expertise in graphic design also allows us to assist with the presentation of your memories (album layout, image integration for invitations) to ensure a coherent visual identity. Based in Besançon, we cover regional weddings with a strong sense of narrative and an artisanal attention to detail. We prioritise image quality, natural light and a thought-through aesthetic. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who values spontaneity, high-quality images and a considered visual approach, let’s talk about your project — we enjoy understanding who you are in order to better tell the story of your day.
