Contact Florent Vidal

A key challenge to wedding photography is how the story gets told. This is where a photographer's point of view comes into play. Often the most telling photographs are those that are unplanned and happen in an authentic way.

Florent fully immerses himself in every wedding, and his ability to anticipate and capture 'real life' moments' without directing them, is what Florent has built a reputation on. "On the wedding day I am everywhere and nowhere. This day is about you and the commitment that you're making. I like to capture your day as naturally as possible and I am very careful in preserving the mood of each moment."

Florent Vidal is considered as one of Australia's most respected wedding photographers. With two studios in NSW: Sydney (Randwick) and Port Stephens, Florent spends most of his time photographing weddings around Australia and Europe (June to August).
