Rennes Wedding Photographer
Manors and longères, two hours from Paris by TGV
Rennes is the easiest Breton city to marry in: two hours from Paris by train, a compact old town, and manor houses within twenty minutes of the station.
The city
Half-timbered streets around the place Sainte-Anne, the Parlement de Bretagne, and the Thabor gardens — one of the best couple-session parks in western France, and free to walk into.
Around the city
Manors and longères ring Rennes on every side, most of them family properties that host a handful of weddings a year. The Emerald Coast is an hour north, the Morbihan gulf an hour and a half south. More on Brittany.
Coverage
Same approach as everywhere: documentary, handheld, no staging beyond the family portraits you ask for. Travel from Paris quoted at cost.
Coverage starts at €2,900.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take you to reach Rennes?
Two hours by TGV from Paris Montparnasse. For a Saturday wedding I usually travel the day before.
Do you know the venues around Rennes?
Several, and for the ones I do not I ask for a thirty-minute scouting visit at roughly the hour of your ceremony.
Can you photograph in the Thabor gardens?
Yes, handheld. It is public, free and one of the best-kept parks in Brittany.
