Wedding photographer at Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge.

Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge is a wedding venue at Cambremer in Normandy — a restored Normandy farmhouse surrounded by four hectares of gardens listed as a Jardin Remarquable, twenty minutes from Deauville and Lisieux. Flowers, greenery and half-timbering. I have photographed several weddings here, and I work in English throughout.

The venue

Four hectares of listed gardens.

Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge, at Cambremer, is a restored Normandy farmhouse surrounded by four hectares of gardens listed as a « Jardin Remarquable » — one of the few in the Calvados to hold the label. Flowers, greenery, half-timbering: a pastoral setting in the heart of the Pays d'Auge, about twenty minutes from Deauville and Lisieux.

The estate receives in two halls — upstairs and on the ground floor — around a cider press and its cider bar. Lodging on site, Le Pressoir, lets the couple and their guests stay.

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 vows and the emotion, the vintage car among the flowers, the first dance under the beams, the gardens at sunset. 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.

Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge

Frequently asked questions.

Do you photograph weddings at Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge?
Yes, several. Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge at Cambremer is one of the few places in the Calvados whose gardens hold the « Jardin Remarquable » listing — four hectares of flowers and greenery around a restored Normandy farmhouse, which gives the photographs a character all their own.
Where is Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge, and how do we get there?
At Cambremer in the Calvados, Normandy, in the heart of the Pays d'Auge — about twenty minutes from Deauville and from Lisieux, both on the Paris Saint-Lazare railway line. 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. Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge 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. Le Pressoir, the lodging on site, takes the couple and those closest to them; Deauville and Lisieux are twenty minutes away for the rest of your guests.
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 Les Jardins du Pays d'Auge as anywhere else I photograph, and my approach does not change: no imposed poses, no assumptions about who does what. Love is love.
