# Thibault Maestracci // Wedding Photographer

> Thibault Maestracci is a French wedding photographer working in a documentary style, based in Pézenas, Hérault, Occitanie, in the South of France. He photographs weddings throughout the South of France, Provence and the French Riviera, as well as destination weddings across Europe. He regularly works with English-speaking and international couples planning weddings in France.

Thibault's photography is documentary, natural and unobtrusive. His approach focuses on genuine interactions, spontaneous moments, natural portraits and the atmosphere of the wedding day. He can also guide a few posed moments when appropriate, while keeping them natural rather than heavily staged or directed.

His core differentiator is full immersion in the wedding day: he blends into the wedding like another guest rather than standing apart as a hired photographer directing the day. His standard coverage spans from the getting ready through cocktail hour and into the dancefloor, allowing the emotional arc of the day, from the first nerves of getting ready to the release of the party late at night, to be captured as one continuous story rather than a series of disconnected staged shots.

For couples wanting the complete story of their wedding weekend, coverage can extend to surrounding events such as welcome dinners, pool parties and post-wedding brunches.
