Kind Words From Our Couples

“We had Florent booked to shoot our wedding at Saltwater Restaurant in Fingal Bay and we couldn't be happier with his service.He was very professional and friendly. Upon meeting Florent before our wedding, he advised us to do what feels natural and to not be aware of his presence while he's capturing special moments. We did at times get caught up in one another and forgot that he was there capturing these intimate just married moments. His direction was clear, and he made us and our guests feel welcome throughout the night. His wife Angel whom we dealt with a lot within the lead up to the wedding was such a sweetheart. She was very understanding and there was no such thing as too many questions from a nervous bride to be.

I would recommend Florent to any upcoming bride and groom and assure you that you are in very confident, capable and talented hands. Thank you, Florent for being a part of our day!”

“We found Florent, not because I am French, and he is French too, but because we both loved the photos we found on his website. From our first request email to the end, it was a very pleasant journey. Angel and Florent are both very responsive and answered all our questions over the phone and by email very quickly. He was very professional, guiding, and creative. The result really speaks for itself! The composition, the colours and the facial expressions are just incredible! He took a lot of pictures, and we now have so many gorgeous photos of us in various settings but also of the guests, bridesmaid, flower girls during the day. Florent has an incredible attention to detail, and we are extremely grateful to have this moment immortalised in such a beautiful way.”

“I was recommend Florent Vidal Photography by a friend! From the moment we made contact with Florent Vidal Photography we had an excellent experience, fast and professional responses to emails and great flexibility which made organising our engagement shoot. Florent called me to have a chat and see where we wanted the shoot/what we were interested in (he was happy for our fur baby to come along too!) Come the day of the photo shoot we met Florent who is lovely, kind, passionate and easy to get a long with. He made us laugh and smile as he snapped away capturing our moments together, it was a fun shoot! Once we got our photos we were in awe, they are stunning! The landscape photos show the beauty of the area we had the photos in while capturing us. The closer photos are beautiful, full of happiness, love and laughter! Florent took gorgeous photos of our fur baby too! Such a great experience working with Florent, we are beyond happy we chose him and cannot wait for him to photograph our wedding soon!”

“Florent was fantastic! He was really easy going from our first meeting, and although he had a detailed plan and approach with us, he stayed in the background on our wedding day, only directing us when really needed. The whole experience was relaxed, yet professional, and the results were above and beyond anything we could've imagined. Florent and his team were very easy to correspond with, and we got the photos back really quickly. We could not recommend Florent highly enough!”

“From the first few moments of speaking with Angel I knew that I wanted to book my special day with Florent! In these crazy times of COVID I had a couple of unusual requests, and Florent and Angel were both very obliging. If I could give them more than five stars I would. Florent and Angel both did everything they could to make our day very special. Florent’s keen photographic eye and passion for what he does comes across in every single photo that was taken in the day and we truly love our photos very much! Our family and friends also loved them as much as we did! Florent you are a very talented photographer! Thanks again Florent and Angel, Jamil and I truly appreciate everything you did for us and we will always remember you!”
