Wedding photographer at Domaine de l'Angleterre.

Domaine de l'Angleterre is a wedding venue near Livarot, in the heart of the Pays d'Auge in Normandy — a house of character hidden in fifteen hectares of private park. It is hired exclusively: the manor, its outbuildings for guests, a pool and grounds to explore. I have photographed a wedding here, and I work in English throughout.

The venue

A family house hidden in its own park.

Domaine de l'Angleterre is a house of character set in fifteen hectares of private park, deep in the countryside of the Pays d'Auge, near Livarot. Out of sight of everything, it has the feel of a family house: an old stone manor, its great fireplace, its beams, and the quiet of the meadows all around.

The estate is hired exclusively, with the manor and its outbuildings to house those closest to you, a pool, and grounds to explore. It is the right setting for an intimate wedding, on a human scale.

My approach

A documentary eye.

I do not direct and I do not stage. I tell the story of your day as it is actually lived — the getting ready in the old rooms, the quiet of the park, the first dance by the fireplace. I look for honest light and real moments.

I am based in Saint-Lô and I speak English throughout — from the first email to the delivery of your gallery. For international couples, travel and accommodation anywhere in France are included in the package price: no mileage added afterwards.

Frequently asked questions.

Do you photograph weddings at Domaine de l'Angleterre?
Yes. I have photographed a wedding at Domaine de l'Angleterre, near Livarot in the Pays d'Auge — the getting ready in the old rooms of the manor and the first dance by the fireplace. It is a private, hidden place, well suited to an intimate wedding.
Where is Domaine de l'Angleterre, and how do we get there?
Near Livarot in the Calvados, Normandy, deep in the countryside of the Pays d'Auge — about half an hour from Lisieux, which has a direct railway line from Paris Saint-Lazare. From the UK, the Portsmouth–Caen (Ouistreham) ferry is the nearest crossing.
How much does a wedding photographer cost at this venue?
The price depends mostly on how long I am with you. A wedding can be covered from the preparations to the end of the evening, town hall and group photos included. Five packages, the same prices for French and international couples: Essentiel at €1,199 (town hall to the end of the cocktail hour); Journée at €1,499 (getting-ready to the end of the cocktail hour); Célébration at €1,599 (ceremony through to 1 am); Intégral at €1,899 (the whole day, getting-ready through to 1 am). Above them, Le Week-end at €3,400 covers three days — the welcome dinner, the wedding day and the farewell brunch. Each includes the town hall and ceremony, the drinks reception and cocktail hour, group photographs and a short couple session, at least 500 photographs in full resolution on a private gallery delivered within 15 days, and the WEDBOX guest page. Travel and accommodation are charged on top and always confirmed before you book: included within 30 km of Saint-Lô, then a flat fee by distance, from €40 to a maximum of €500 — nights on site included. Domaine de l'Angleterre is in Normandy, so the travel fee is set by the distance from Saint-Lô and nothing else is added afterwards.
Can our guests stay on site?
Yes — the whole estate is hired exclusively, with the manor and its outbuildings to house those closest to you. That is precisely what suits couples whose families fly in for several days.
Do you speak English?
Yes, throughout — the first call, the planning, the day itself and the delivery of your gallery. I work regularly with couples from the UK, the United States and further afield who marry in France. Planning is done by email, WhatsApp or video call, whichever suits you.
Are you an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer?
Yes, unreservedly. Every couple is welcome at Domaine de l'Angleterre as anywhere else I photograph, and my approach does not change: no imposed poses, no assumptions about who does what. Love is love.
