About
Mathieu Pasques
Wedding photographer in Provence. Fine Art, natural light, genuine emotions.
People often ask how to pronounce my name. Here's the phonetic solution: Pasques [paskεs]. You pronounce every letter. Or you can simply call me Mathieu.
Wedding photographer based in Provence, I tell love stories with gentleness, elegance and sincerity. My work follows a Fine Art approach: natural light, delicate colors, editorial aesthetics, in service of genuine emotion.
Behind every image, there's a simple intention: to create memories that will matter today, and even more in 10 or 20 years.
My story
Why wedding photography
One day, while looking through old family albums, I had a revelation: these images were the only traces of moments that would have otherwise vanished with time. Glances, smiles, instants that no one could have described with words.
That's when I understood what I wanted to do. Today, I photograph weddings with this idea in mind: creating images that will matter to you now, but especially in 10, 20 or 30 years.
I take the time to know you, to understand what matters to you, the way you experience things. Not to make you pose all day, but to be in the right place at the right moment. My role isn't to transform you. It's to tell what you're living, with accuracy, gentleness and sincerity. It's your wedding, not mine.
Approach
What guides my work
Natural light
I don't use intrusive flash. I work with light as it is, golden in the morning, intense at midday, enveloping in late afternoon. This light gives images their depth and warmth.
Discretion
My role is not to direct your day but to tell its story. I observe, anticipate, and blend in. The best moments happen when you forget the camera is there.
Sincerity
No forced poses, no artificial staging. I look for true emotion, a glance, a gesture, a burst of laughter. These are the moments that will matter in 10, 20, 30 years.
Your story
Every detail matters
You are the protagonists of a unique love story, and every detail matters. That's why it's essential for me to know you. What are your dreams for this day? Which moments are crucial to you? Who are the people that matter most?
Your sharing and our conversations are more than just talk, they are the stories through which I capture your wedding. Every detail you share allows me to create a gallery that looks like you, moves you, makes you feel alive.
This is how I offer to accompany you on this journey that is your wedding.
Destinations
Based in Provence, available worldwide
I primarily photograph in Aix-en-Provence, the Luberon, the Alpilles, Avignon and the French Riviera. I also travel for destination weddings in Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Quebec. Every destination is a new photographic adventure.
I'd be honoured to tell your story.
A first conversation to get to know each other, discuss your plans and see if the approach feels right.
