After photographing nearly 200 weddings at the Cuvier Club, I finally experienced my first December wedding there—and wow, it did not disappoint! I’ve always loved this venue for its charm, but the winter light brought a whole new level of magic.

The Cuvier Club has always been one of my favorite places to work. Its versatility and charm make it the perfect backdrop for every couple’s story, and this wedding reminded me why I fell in love with photographing here in the first place.

Here’s to more magical winter weddings—and more unforgettable moments at this incredible venue!
