Getting married in Balagne
Balagne brings together, within a few kilometres, a citadel on the sea, a long bay lined with pine groves, stone villages clinging to the hillside and, in the background, the mountains. It is a region where you can celebrate facing the sea and dine in a garden without ever travelling far.
Calvi, L'Île-Rousse and the villages
In Calvi, the citadel overlooks the bay and offers perspectives over the sea; the beach and the pine grove bring the softness of the water's edge. Towards L'Île-Rousse and Algajola, the lively streets and beaches change the tone. In the hinterland, hilltop villages — Pigna, Sant'Antonino and others — give portraits full of stone and golden light.
How I photograph here
I make the most of the low light of the late afternoon over the bay and the stone walls, and I prepare with you a schedule that leaves time for portraits. Depending on the season, Calvi's crowds need planning: I help you choose times to keep places calm. In the Photography section you will find how I tell a day.

Yes: Calvi, L'Île-Rousse, Algajola, Lumio and the villages of the hinterland, as well as the rest of Corsica.
