About
Wedding photography is so much more than a profession to me — it’s a passion, a way to preserve emotions and create timeless memories. Through my lens, I strive to capture the authenticity of every moment.
I aim to reveal the connection in each glance and the depth of every experience.
I’m DavidZ, International Wedding Photographer
My name is David, I’m 43 years old, and I’m a Frenchman with an open view of the world.
Born into a maternal family of artists and a paternal lineage of high-level athletes, I’ve always combined the creative vision of an artist with the discipline, rigor, and perseverance of a sportsman.
From the very start of my career, I knew I wanted to become an international wedding photographer. Travel has always been a major source of inspiration for me. From the majestic natural landscapes of Iceland to the vibrant colors of India, and the deeply rooted Maori traditions of New Zealand — each destination fuels my creativity.
My style blends creativity, emotion, and natural storytelling. Thanks to this approach, I’m able to capture the essence of each wedding with a touch that is both artistic and authentic.
I’ve had the privilege of photographing over 360 weddings across 35 countries. My passion for this craft continues to grow stronger. Each wedding is a unique experience — from the calm anticipation of the preparations to the whirlwind of emotions that fills the day.
One moment that always moves me is when the groom or the parents see the bride in her dress for the first time. No matter how many times I witness it, it never fails to touch me.
An Award-Winning Journey, Recognized Internationally
Over the years, my work has received more than 50 international awards. I’ve been ranked among the Top 100 wedding photographers in the world for four consecutive years. In the Artistic category, I reached 32nd place.
I’ve also been named among Harper’s Bazaar’s Top 10 and was a finalist at the prestigious Siena Awards in Italy. My photographs have been featured in several renowned publications.
I’ve had the honor of capturing weddings of all kinds — from intimate, spontaneous moments to grand celebrations with over 1,000 guests.
PASSIONATE
Wedding photography is much more than a profession to me — it’s a true calling that drives me to capture every moment with emotion and sincerity.
CREATIVE
My artistic vision and sense of composition allow me to elevate each wedding with unique, natural, and timeless images.
METICULOUS
Drawing from the discipline of high-level sports, I pay close attention to detail and ensure professional, organized, and polished work.
CARING
By listening closely to each couple, I create a warm, trusting atmosphere that helps them feel at ease, allowing me to capture authentic and spontaneous moments.
Sharing, Teaching, and Growing
Beyond photography, I love sharing my expertise. I had the opportunity to speak for Nikon in 2017 and 2019, at WPPI in Las Vegas in 2019, and at the Salon de la Photo in Paris in 2023.
I work as an instructor, passing on my skills to photography enthusiasts.
After several years in the United States — where I was ranked the 6th best wedding photographer in the country — I decided to return to Europe in 2021 to explore new collaborations and take on new challenges.
