Laurent Souday Studio

I am a wedding photographer with a background deeply rooted in the creative arts.

Before photography, I spent more than 25 years working in art direction and graphic design. At the age of 45, I chose to reinvent myself by returning to school, driven by a desire to embrace a more personal and sensitive vision of imagery.

Meeting Caroll, a floral designer and my wife of ten years, marked a turning point in my life. Through her, I discovered the world of weddings—and very quickly, it became an obvious path for me.

My photographic style was initially shaped by a fine art approach, guided by light, emotional subtlety, and a pursuit of timelessness. Today, it has evolved into a more editorial vision, inspired by the work of Peter Lindbergh and the aesthetics of fashion photography. Every wedding is an opportunity to tell a unique story with elegance, authenticity, and sensitivity.

Alongside my wedding photography, I also pursue a personal body of work in underwater photography. Beneath the surface, water becomes a poetic space where bodies seem to escape gravity, movement transforms into dance, and time itself appears suspended. This universe inspires me profoundly.

For me, water is an endless source of creativity and freedom. It encourages me to see emotions, gestures, and human connections through a different lens. This artistic exploration directly nourishes my wedding photography, influencing the way I compose images, capture the grace of a movement, the softness of a glance, or the intensity of a fleeting moment. I strive to bring into my wedding stories the same sense of fluidity, lightness, and poetry that water teaches me.

Wedding photography also allows me to travel, discover beautiful regions and remarkable families, and follow love stories wherever they may lead—from local celebrations to destinations around the world.

What drives me goes beyond the images themselves. I believe that a wedding is an emotional legacy.

Through my photographs, I seek to create sincere and enduring memories—images designed to stand the test of time, to be shared, passed down, and treasured for generations.
