Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer
Cyrille Magdeleine is an elopement and intimate wedding photographer: a format for two or a very small group, far from the traditional wedding, where emotion matters more than staging. His fine-art documentary approach captures the moment discreetly, in France and worldwide (Destination package).
From a mountain elopement to an intimate coastal wedding, every project is built bespoke around the chosen place and moment. The images, shot in natural light, tell your day as it was truly lived — not a series of poses.
A photographer and a drone pilot, Cyrille can add cinematic aerial shots to the most spectacular settings, in line with local regulations.
