Charlotte & Morgan
Twenty years after school, Morgan found me again and asked me to film his wedding to Charlotte. A day filled with singing, heartfelt speeches and quiet moments together.

Wedding Filmmaker
I film your wedding close to what is truly happening, without turning the day into a production. Real voices, gestures and the natural rhythm of the day remain at the heart of the film.

The setting may be grand.
The film stays close to you.
In Montreux, the lake and mountains can easily fill the frame. I use that scenery to give your story a sense of place without losing what truly matters: the people, their voices and everything that passes between them.
I will not ask you to repeat an entrance or recreate an emotion. We prepare the practical details in advance, then I film the day as it unfolds. I only offer guidance when a portrait or movement genuinely needs it.
I also handle the sound, editing, colour grading and final mix. The person beside you on the wedding day is therefore the same person who later shapes your film.

Laurent Henry · filmmaker
Montreux, Vevey and the shores of Lake Geneva
Between the lake,
the promenade and the heights.
From the lake to the heights Everything looks close on a map. On the wedding day, access and changes in elevation still need some forethought. We go through timings, parking and travel between Montreux, Territet, Vevey and the reception venue.
The light changes quickly I prepare the transitions between the shores of Lake Geneva, the interiors and the hills. This groundwork leaves room for delays, reunions and moments that were never part of the schedule.
Drone footage is included in all three collections Every flight remains subject to weather, location, safety and airspace rules. If the drone cannot fly, the story of your film never depends on it.

Simple preparation
From our first conversation
to your film
You do not need to think about video throughout the day. My work begins well beforehand, so it can find its place without weighing on the schedule.
- 01
Getting to know you
A relaxed call about your plans, the people you love and the memories you want to preserve.
- 02
Planning the locations
About a month beforehand, we review timings, travel, access and technical considerations.
- 03
Filming without interrupting
I work alongside your photographer and stay attentive to voices, reactions and changes in rhythm.
- 04
Crafting your story
I shape the film, refine the sound and colour, then usually deliver it within four to six weeks.
Behind the camera
Since 2006,
I have filmed with
the same eye
I prepare, film and edit your wedding film myself. The person you speak with before the wedding is also the person beside you on the day and the one who later shapes all those images in the edit.
My experience comes from very different environments, in France and abroad. Above all, it has taught me to stay calm, adapt quickly and make sure the technical side never becomes your problem.
