Corentin Leray, wedding photographer in Chamonix, Haute-Savoie

Shall we get to know each other?

My name is Corentin. I'm in my thirties, live in Chamonix, and I'm a photographer of weddings and beautiful moments. This place has fascinated me since day one. The mountains here offer an incredible playground. The atmosphere changes every time you lose yourself gazing at the peaks.

But I actually ended up here by chance about ten years ago. After studying marketing and starting my career in Paris, I only planned to stay for a season. In the end, I made it my home and never left. This environment inspires powerful encounters that have helped me grow over the years.

How did
wedding photography came to me?

Passionate about images and cinema since childhood, I love capturing emotions. That's why I naturally turned to photography to share my vision of the world.

I'm self-taught and heavily inspired by photojournalism. Initially, photography was a way for me to keep travel memories. Then, I started documenting my daily life and loved ones. This led me to explore different styles before finding my path.

Plus, I've traveled a lot. I've lived in Ireland, Spain, Canada, and also in Toulouse, Paris, and the Jura region. I've been settled in Chamonix since 2014. All these experiences have refined my style, enriched my perspective, and fueled my curiosity. Even today, I learn something new every day from my surroundings, my reading, music, and cinema.

My approach
to weddings 
photography

Today, what truly drives me is capturing powerful moments. I look for emotions that speak volumes without words. For me, wedding photography is like a documentary. That's why I seek out genuine moments, a glance or a smile, while also paying attention to the small details.

During your day, I blend in with your guests. My discreet approach allows me to become part of your setting to capture those magical moments. So, you'll barely notice me, but I won't miss a thing. Here I am, ready to create unforgettable memories with you.

Let's go on this journey together
