Summary
In this episode, Perrin sits down with Antoine Didienne, a San Diego-based wedding and family documentary photographer who grew up in France surrounded by Bresson, Doisneau, and the French Nouvelle Vague, and has spent his career bringing that European artistic sensibility to one of the most chaotic days in a couple's life. Antoine talks about why he describes his work as the luxury of simplicity, what it actually means to be the antithesis of the Pinterest photographer, and why he would rather photograph a bride putting on her dress than see it hanging against a window. He gets into the friction between documentary photographers and wedding planners who expect a shot list, why he thinks of a wedding day as a three-act play, and what three months of documenting his toddler on an old Fuji X100 taught him about looking, patience, and what makes a photograph worth keeping.
