“If I Were a Bride”
Zankyou magazine invited me, a professional photographer, to embody the wedding theme and celebrate this beautiful season.
My challenge? Portray a modern bride—romantic, sparkling, and authentically me.
I've idealized this dream since childhood, so wearing the iconic white dress was pure joy.
For this collaboration, I partnered with Estée Lauder for flawless beauty and The Maria Luisa Wedding Space.
When asked, “How do you imagine your wedding day?”
I replied: “I want to be a radiant bride, full of life!”
“The joy of wearing a wedding dress, sharing this happiness with family, and seeing all the love in my fiancé's eyes…”
This is how I envision that life-changing moment as a Parisian.
Beauty and the wedding dress are at the heart of every bride's preparations.
Patrick Lorentz, Estée Lauder makeup artist, crafted my custom look: subtle, natural, yet luminous, using the brand's hero products.

“The joy of wearing a wedding dress, sharing this happiness with family, and seeing all the love in my fiancé's eyes.”
The magic happens when you slip into the wedding dress.
I chose a refined gown from Harpe Paris at l’Espace Maria Luisa Mariage du Printemps Haussmann.
In the mirror, I added my pearl crown, ring, and necklace. It was transformative—I saw the woman I've always aspired to be.
