Based in Halluin, wedding photographer Sébastien Joly creates natural, elegant wedding reportage. Specialist in wedding and engagement sessions, he emphasizes emotion and authenticity.
The most important thing for me is you. A professional photographer based in Halluin (Hauts‑de‑France), I have specialized in wedding photography for many years. My approach blends documentary instincts—to capture genuine, spontaneous moments—with an editorial aesthetic shaped by work in fashion and studio. The result: wedding photos that tell your story with elegance and honesty. Why choose me for your wedding photography? Because I put people at the heart of my work. I like to anticipate emotions, notice glances, and capture the details that make a day unique. My experience lets me remain discreet when needed and proactive when an image should be created. Whether it’s a wedding reportage, a couple portrait or an engagement session, my goal is always the same: to convey the true atmosphere of your day, without unnecessary artifice. My working approach is simple and warm. Before the big day we talk to understand your wishes, the flow of the ceremony and the key moments you want to keep. I often recommend an engagement session to build rapport, relax expressions and define the style of the reportage. On the wedding day I act as an attentive observer: I capture emotions, gestures and laughter as well as quieter, more intimate moments. In post‑production I apply careful retouching to enhance your images while preserving their natural look. I travel throughout the Hauts‑de‑France region and beyond according to your needs. My work is aimed at couples who seek a wedding photographer committed to authenticity, with a creative sensitivity developed over years in editorial and fashion. If you are looking for an elegant wedding reportage, lively wedding photographs and a professional yet human approach, I would be delighted to accompany you and create lasting memories true to your story.
