تومي لوسكاTommy Loska, an accomplished wedding photographer, expertly captured the wedding of Michel and Mathilde at the medieval Domaine de Ripaille in Haute-Savoie. This historic venue, near Geneva and the Swiss border, provided a majestic backdrop for a day filled with emotion and celebration.
The day commenced with images from Michel's preparations at the barber alongside his brother, while Mathilde was in the beauty salon. Tommy captured these moments infused with emotion, setting the tone for the day's unfolding narrative. A brief ceremony at the town hall preceded the church service, where the dim interior offered a striking visual contrast, adding depth to Tommy’s compositions.
The reception at Domaine de Ripaille embraced both elegance and originality. Tommy captured the charm of the indoor ribbon circle game, with a standout black-and-white image of Mathilde triumphantly holding her bouquet overhead, ribbons fanning out dramatically.
A particularly unique aspect of this wedding was the presentation by the Eagles of Lake Geneva. The display of birds of prey perfectly complemented the estate's medieval theme, providing Tommy with opportunities to capture awe-inspiring images.
Tommy’s gallery begins with a bold image of the couple exiting the old-world structure under a cascade of colorful flower petals, hands clasped, surrounded by jubilant friends and family. His ability to blend spontaneous interactions with planned compositions results in a narrative that's both diverse and cohesive.
One inventive portrait session featured a playful chess set encounter, symbolizing the couple as the day’s king and queen.
Through a mix of detail-rich close-ups and wide panoramic views, Tommy Loska captured the wedding's full essence, weaving together moments that reflect both spontaneity and thoughtful planning. This gallery of images from the Ripaille Estate wedding stands as a testament to his ability to tell a comprehensive and emotive story through his lens.
