I'm Julien, a French artist, and I've been photographing weddings in Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita and Sayulita since 2006. I trained as an architect in Paris, and I never left it behind: the architect sees the lines, the volumes, where each person belongs in the picture.
After 20 years and hundreds of weddings in Puerto Vallarta, I know every corner of the city and its venues: Hacienda San Ángel, Casa Kimberly, Las Caletas, Grand Velas, Villa Mandarinas, the beach clubs of Punta Mita. I know where the light falls at every hour and in every season, so your day is in experienced hands.
A wedding is a multitude of small stories: the getting ready, the reunions, the ceremony, the toasts, the dance floor. With my team (camerawoman, sound assistant and drone pilot), none of them is missed.
Read my story →I traded my brushes for a camera and went on doing the same thing: bringing light into the frame. People compared my paintings to Goya's, for the light. It's still true of my photographs.
The session is relaxed, and it’s fun.
Family photography in Vallarta →"In my opinion Julien is not a wedding photographer but an artist. As a bride I could not have been happier, the photographs are simply outstanding."
"He was absolutely amazing and so artistic. The pictures look like they belong in a fashion magazine. I just love his work."
"I couldn't attend my daughter's wedding. Julien's photos make me feel as if I experienced the day firsthand, a dream to work with."
The most beautiful moment is the one you never see coming.
Beautiful sunsets, countless dinner options and the unforgettable Mexican hospitality of a romantic destination since 1964.
There's no need to rush in love. For Karen and Leo, it took thirteen years, and a dream wedding in Puerto Vallarta.
The love nest of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor's romance, one of Puerto Vallarta's most iconic places.
The fourth most beautiful beach in the world, 20 km south of Puerto Vallarta and reachable only by boat, the ideal place for a wedding by the sea.
One message is enough to begin, I always reply myself, usually the same day.
