Mélody Barabé

Wedding photographer

I never thought I was doing anything else
something like telling stories.

Erich Lessing

Museum Overview

Photographer, artistic director, project creator, energy source, wanderer and lover of the image. I believe in sisterhood, community, collective energy and synergies. I like to embellish everyday life, give meaning to what surrounds us and transmit to spread talents. I am not just a job, and I dream big. Dynamic and creative, always looking for movement and new ideas to explore, weddings are my best playground.

Experience

I have been immortalizing your weddings for almost 10 years – and I still enjoy it as much as ever! Over the years, my eye has become sharper and I know exactly where to place myself at what time, what events to anticipate alongside you, what to emphasize depending on your personalities. I integrate myself into the day just like your guests and I live the day to the fullest alongside you to take photos full of authenticity.

Services

I will accompany you from the preparations until the end of the night if you want! I am there to immortalize each precious moment of your big day, accompany you in the organization of important moments in photos, make sure that all your desires are satisfied and that your memories will live up to your expectations. These are the memories of a lifetime, and together, we make sure that they are exactly as you imagine them!

Style

My work is at the crossroads of storytelling (in "live" photo-reportage with the desire to give you as many authentic moments as possible in images) and a slightly more advanced aesthetic, which I seek in particular through specific compositions or framing.

Testimonials

"If you are looking for a lovely and talented photographer, you have found her! We hired Mélody for our wedding and we are in heaven. When we saw her portfolio, we loved her style (you just have to take a look - it's art - it's impossible to find this treatment of color anywhere else). The result of the wedding photo report was even more incredible than we could have hoped! Between color and light, the moments captured are like paintings. What makes the experience even more wonderful is the professionalism and gentleness of Mélody who accompanies us with a smile all day long! We forget that we spend a large part of our wedding day with our photographer, so when we have a good laugh it's a real pleasure! In addition to her kindness and her confidence for the photos, she transmits her calm and it's precious. Another big thank you from the bottom of my heart to our photographer!"

"Mickaël and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding and came across Mélody's website, which immediately dazzled us! Her work and photos were sublime and perfectly matched what we were looking for to immortalize one of the most beautiful days of our lives! And the result exceeded our expectations. Firstly, Mélody is absolutely adorable, our first exchanges with her were great, she is incredibly gentle and positive! And what can we say about the big day! She was a pillar for us, she allowed us to refocus on the essential things, to relax, to enjoy ourselves to the fullest without stress and the photos are incredible! Even our guests at the wedding, and at the reception of the photographs afterwards, only complimented us on her performance! Don't hesitate for a second and go for it, Mélody is a rare gem!"

"We had a soft spot for Mélody from our first exchanges, which was confirmed when she photographed our wedding this summer. She was able to soothe my stress with great gentleness and empathy throughout the day (I was surely the most stressed bride in the world ;), frame the movements with great positive energy, integrate into all the groups and she was part of the party as much as our guests. The photos are magnificent and we are delighted with her work. Both invisible and present, always with the right word and a reassuring smile, I highly recommend that you call on her for your wedding! We will not hesitate to call on her again for the important moments of our life."

"Melody was fantastic! As I am English I was nervous to hire a French photographer for our French - English wedding but Melody was fantastic! We spoke in English during the wedding which was wonderful especially on the wedding day as when stressed it was much harder for me to speak French so it was lovely to have the ability to relax. My French husband spoke French with Melody so it was so unique to have the ability for both my husband and I to communicate with Melody in both languages. The images were incredible. We had asked for very natural and non posed images and we had images full of life, laughter and expression. Such a refreshing and natural element to our photos. She was very friendly and very relaxed and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She was also very welcoming to my bridesmaid who was also there to take video and she was very professional with working with other photographers and videast in sharing ideas of shoots with her and sharing the shoot. Especially if you want your photos to capture real movement and moments in your wedding. Such a joy. Also our photos were ready very very fast!! Which was a pleasent surprise! Thank you Melody for the most incredible images of our day!”
