”Antoine is AMAZING!! We are so happy we went with 147photos. We knew we wanted more than the typical, boring staged and posed photos you normally see from weddings and Antoine did an incredible job capturing our day in the most authentic way. We’re truly able to relive each moment from every picture because the emotions captured are so raw and real. If you want a more genuine perspective of your special day, we highly recommend Antoine & 147photos. We will definitely be booking him again for our future life events. ”

 Hi, I’m Antoine

Welcome to 147PhotoS

I’m happy you found us. Here, the upcoming wedding is the one that matters the most: that means your story is the most important one we will photograph. We want your experience to feel personal, unrepeatable, and entirely your own through our documentary-style wedding photography in La Mesa, CA.

We are transparent, honest, authentic (there might be a couple swear words thrown around from time to time), and we take creativity seriously. We want to produce photos that feel like art with a point of view for your wedding, not just images that could have been taken by anyone. Your day is unique, so should your photographer. Whether my associate is photographing the wedding or myself or both of us are, our role isn’t just to photograph what happens, but to help document and create an experience that feels honest from the very beginning.

Yes, the images will matter—deeply. They’ll feel real, almost like memories you can step back into. But what matters just as much is the relationship we’ve built. Our photographers work closely with each couple to build something intentional even if we are not there to direct, but to support. To make space for a day that feels effortless, grounded, and entirely yours—and to document it as it naturally unfolds.

Antoine is an amazing photographer! From start to finish, the process was virtually seamless. He was very responsive to emails, punctual to our event, and provided our pictures within a timely manner. Antoine portrayed our event in the best light through candid pictures of our guests and decorations. I would highly recommend him for any event.
