Yohann Strullu

Wedding photographer in Brittany. Pors Poulhan, Plouhinec.

Wedding photographer since 2017. I cover around twenty couples a year, no more, and I spend the rest of my time traveling, surfing, and being with my son.

I didn't start out in weddings.

In 2016, I joined the team of Blue Road, a surf film produced by Alena Ehrenbold. I came in to shoot a few behind-the-scenes clips, and ended up filming and editing a large part of the film. First award at a festival, first spark. The following year, I founded Black Pixels.

In 2018, I did it again with TAN, a documentary about a Breton surfboard shaper, on camera and editing. The film traveled through international festivals and won around ten awards, including Best Cinematography at the Surf Film Festival in San Diego.

What stays with me from TAN is that the film is about our relationship to time. And maybe it resonated because we took the time to make it, as if we'd applied the film's lessons while shooting it. Or maybe the other way around, and it's the way I see things that shaped the film.

I try to apply that to my work: do less, but do it well. That's why I never go beyond twenty weddings a year. It lets me be present from start to finish on the big day, take real care of the editing, and deliver quickly.

With weddings, I quickly understood that it's not just about photography. It's a real connection with the couple, built before the day itself, and felt in the images. It's also a job where you never get bored: you're often alone, true, but every couple, every venue, every light is different. Brittany mostly, and sometimes elsewhere.

Weddings have given me the life I've always dreamed of. And I do my best to give back :)
