What People Are Saying

“"In a world of boring, stale classic wedding photos, Vivien breaks the mould. His eye is empathic - a kind of 6th sense that makes him jump into action and seize the perfect shot without you even realising it. We had a small intimate wedding and Vivien made everyone at ease- both the French and the Irish (he was one of the few people there as comfortable communicating in French as in English!) He was at ease with everyone and we were at ease with him."”

— R & R

“We chose Vivien for our wedding, for his style and approach. And we weren't disappointed, far from it: he integrated perfectly with our guests and was quickly considered a guest in his own right. What's more, he was quick to provide us with the photos, and his work exceeded our expectations. He captures the highlights of the day and evening, on the fly, to incredible effect. He captures the naturalness and emotion of the moment.”

— M & A

“Lovely photographer, much appreciated by our guests, hyper available, having perfectly understood our wishes and constraints! The photos are really top, original and hyper natural. I recommend a thousand times, thanks again Vivien!”
