Steph Christian - Photographe mariage et portraits

I’m Stéphane Christian, a wedding photographer based in Pessac, specializing in documentary wedding photography and engaged, artistic work with a preference for Black & White and Fine Art results. My approach is simple: to be a discreet, sensitive and attentive observer, allowing the day to unfold naturally while capturing the moments that tell your story. Why choose me for your wedding photography? Because I prioritize emotion and truth. I love photographing glances, gestures, silences and the shivers that run through a wedding day. Rather than forcing poses, I weave a visual narrative that will let you relive every sensation, every smile and every tear, from preparations to the first dance. My style is inspired by the great 20th-century reportage photographers and the world of cinema: nuanced contrasts, elegant grain and compositions designed to endure. For years I’ve been working with Fujifilm gear and a medium format GFX for portraits and Love Sessions to ensure optimal quality for Fine Art prints. Black & White helps me focus on the essential — the emotion — while my color treatments remain available for those who prefer a more contemporary palette. How I work: we always start by meeting (in Pessac or via video call) to discuss your wishes, locations and the moments that matter most. On the wedding day I blend in with your guests — discreet but present — ready to capture the unexpected. After the wedding, every image is carefully processed to maintain a coherent aesthetic that is faithful to the atmosphere of your day. In addition to the reportage, I offer Love Sessions (engagement shoots) to get to know you and prepare the couple session for the wedding day. I also travel for weddings across France and internationally — I love telling stories in varied locations and I reinvest part of my income in initiatives to offset the impact of my travels.

I’m committed to transforming your precious moments into a visual heirloom you’ll enjoy browsing and passing on.
