Commercial Photographer Normandie
Les Mirettes de Camille – Optician at Percy-en-normandie, photographed by Sabina Cowdery
I live in a little village in Normandy countryside, called Villebaudon. The nearest small town is Percy-en-Normandie and I’ve done many projects capturing events for the town hall, various projects for local businesses and produced two photo exhibitions.
I follow the local business and commerce facebook pages and learnt of a new business venture that was developing over several months. A commerce that had been empty for a while was being redeveloped to house the first local for and new optician, Les Mirettes de Camille.
The renovation was supported by the Town Hall of Percy-en-Normandie and the Réseau Initiative Granville-Villedieu Intercoms.
I decided to offer my help too. In the days before the opening I knocked on the door and offered Camille a free photo-shoot on the opening day to help with her marketing. She had created a lovely atmosphère with a welcoming and wrm style that I knew it would photograph well.
Discover the world of Camille Vengeon in this selection of images and don’t hesitate to visit her optician’s boutique at 1 avenue du Général Bradley, Percy-en-Normandie where a warm welcome and a wide range of glasses await you, along with Camille’s friendly expertise.

THE RESULT IS SIMPLY MAGICAL, A MAGICIAN WHO MAKES THE ORDINARY EXTRAORDINARY

A surprise photo shoot for my 50th birthday at Mont St Michel. And a wonderful encounter with Sabina. A true pro who captures the best moments. The result is simply magical, a magician who makes the ordinary extraordinary. BRAVO
IT HAS BEEN A BRILLIANT EXPERIENCE

It has been a brilliant experience. Sabina has been very patient during our discussion on the arrangement for the photography session. Would definitely recommend the service.
SABINA MADE THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE EASY FOR US

Sabina with Anibas Photography was great. I found her online and looked at her photos and reviews before contacting. As I’m from Canada she made the whole experience very easy for us. We had our 18 month old son with us and she was very accommodating and patient as he wasn’t in the best mood. Our engagement photos turned out great. I would highly recommend her.
I WOULD REALLY RECOMMEND ANIBAS!

I would really recommend Anibas! Took the time to do planning with me for when/where to do my photoshoot. She chose a really beautiful place and the pictures turned out perfect I am really happy with how everything turned out. Again really recommend her for a photoshoot only took 2 days to have everything ready from photoshoot to having the pictures ready for you
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST, BOOK WITH SABINA.

Sabina was absolutely wonderful and an amazingly talented photographer. If you are looking for the best, book with her.
SABINA HAS A GIFT FOR CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF THE MOMENT.

What I appreciated most about Sabina was her ability to be discreet allowing me to plan and execute a surprise proposal flawlessly. Sabina captured all the genuine emotions and reactions without my fiancé realizing she was there. After the proposal, she was kind enough to capture many more photos all around Mont St. Michael. Sabina’s talent and passion for photography are evident in every shot she takes, she has a gift for capturing the essence of the moment.
I WISH I COULD WORK WITH SABINA AGAIN FOR OTHER EVENTS IN THE FUTURE

I went to Anibas Photography & Design to capture a surprise proposal at Mont St Michel. Both the proposal and the photos turned out great, and I wish I could work with Sabina again for other events in the future. Aside from the photoshoot itself, Sabina also made other aspects of the event very easy. Sabina replied to every email extremely quickly, and her services and pricing were clear from her very first email. She was also sociable and accommodating of my own personal technical difficulties. In line with everything else, Sabina provided us all of our photos very quickly.
BRONZE MEDAL WINNING OLYMPIAN PETER’S PROPOSAL

Sabina was wonderful in helping me capture my proposal at Mont Saint Michel. She was very responsive the entire time when planning everything (even great dinner recommendations) and helped me completely surprise my fiancée.
SABINA : A TOP-CLASS PHOTOGRAPHER
Very discreet on the big day, she never failed to capture all the important moments of the day! She also lived up to our expectations of capturing photos of all our guests throughout the day. Whether the weather was fine or ‘a bit’ rainy, her photos were superb in terms of colour. And even when she’s unwell, she’ll do her utmost to honour her commitments (and always with a smile on her face!!)! Sabina doesn’t count the number of shots she takes or the time she puts into them – and it’s a success! Some wonderful memories! THANK YOU
I CAN’T EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE ENOUGH

This review is long overdue (totally my bad!), but even now we still can’t express our gratitude enough for the incredible experience that Sabina’s given us! I engaged Sabina for a surprise engagement photoshoot at the Mont Saint-Michel last November. In the months leading up to the big day, I coordinated with Sabina, who was ever-responsive and always willing to accommodate my requests. Most notably, I had asked if it was possible for the proposal moment to be videoed rather than photographed, and instead she managed to come up with a wonderful solution that accomplished both. Of course, Sabina herself was every bit the person you’d expect if you’d corresponded with her online.
THE PHOTOSHOOT ITSELF WAS A DREAM COME TRUE

The chateau Sabina found and arranged was unbelievable, providing the absolutely perfect backdrop for our engagement photos. In terms of rate, I found Sabina to be right in line with U.S. engagement photographers, and she was notably cheaper than Paris photographers. Having direct contact with her was so helpful, and she always reponded in a timely manner despite our time zone difference (EST vs Normandy). I was very anxious to have this all come together perfectly and I am so so glad I worked with Sabina, she exceeded my expectations and made my engagement to my fiance absolutely perfect.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR LISTENING, SMILING AND BEING SO KIND!
We are delighted with the collaboration we had with Sabina for our wedding. The photos are magnificent! Thank you again for listening, smiling and being so kind!
SABINA IS A TRUE ARTIST AND PROFESSIONAL

If you’re looking for an engagement photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also willing to go the extra mile to make your special moment perfect, look no further than Sabina. She is a true artist and professional, and we couldn’t be happier with the photos she captured. Thank you, Sabina, for making our engagement day so magical!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TO WORK WITH

Sabina was absolutely amazing to work with! She was extremely responsive which I really appreciated considering having to plan this from the US. She also provided a lot of help and advice on where to do things, for ex. What specific location to have the proposal at Mont St Michel, best timing, where to stay etc. The photoshoot experience was also amazing, with Sabina showing up early and then spending the next hour and a half walking us through Mont St Michel direction us on how to pose and taking us to amazing scenic locations. I would absolutely recommend Sabina if you’re planning a photoshoot in the area!
SABINA WAS EXCELLENT, THE PHOTOS WERE BEAUTIFUL

She was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond in answering all questions and concerns I had while making the entire process as seamlessly as possible. From picking the exact location, the ideal time of day, and game plan to keep this a secret from my better half, I felt completely confident and satisfied with the guidance and expertise Sabina provided throughout! The proposal was perfect, and the pictures, from the process to the end result were breathtaking. We couldn’t be happier with the service Sabina provided… Read more “THE PICTURES WERE BREATHTAKING”
SABINA IS A MASTER AT HER CRAFT!

Sabina was fantastic! I reached out with a location and she helped me plan all the details about our engagment and photoshoot afterwards. She knew the best places to take photos and helped us get a range of poses. The resulting pictures were excellent and she was quick to make further edits to the finals when we asked for them. She is a master at her craft!
MY EXPERIENCE WITH SABINA WAS AWESOME.

She is very responsive and quite knowledgeable about Mont St Michel. She helped me plan the ideal proposal by offering multiple different options, and suggested the perfect way to set up the moment. She did everything she could to make this successful for us and constantly went above and beyond. She was also very quick with photos turnaround time and they turned out great! I would 100% recommend her as a photographer.
I CAN WHOLE HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE

The photoshoot itself was a seamless and comfortable experience with Sabina’s expertise shining through. She gave us helpful suggestions for poses while still allowing us to explore and remain candid – where we needed guidance on how to pose for a photo, Sabina was there to provide her recommendation. We could not be happier to share our engagement moment with Sabina and the photos have turned out stunningly. I have no complaints and I can whole heartedly recommend her to anyone.
SABINA WAS NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR.

Sabina was nothing short of spectacular. I hired her to take photographs for a surprise engagement for my now fiancee at Mont Saint Michel. She made the entire planning experience straightforward and was responsive to my questions and provided many helpful suggestions, such as when and where to propose (for the best photos). On the day itself, Sabina was very clear with her location and was kind enough to wait despite us running a little late.
PHOTOS WERE GREAT AND THE COMMUNICATION EXCELLENT!

It was a pleasure working with Sabina! Traveled from other country to France and helped me to plan a proposal. Photos were great and the communication excellent!
SABINA WAS EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR AND MORE!

Not only did she meet expectations with her performance and professionalism, but she also accommodated us on changes last minute. We had similar visions in mind, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Sabina to capture my husband’s and I’s special moment. Also, a special thank you is needed for including my loved ones! If there is doubt about scheduling with her, don’t.
I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER!!

Sabina helped me with a surprise proposal photoshoot. She is not only a uniquely skilled photographer but also a great planner. I could not have asked for a better photographer!!
SABINA EXCEEDED ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS

I can’t say enough about the incredible experience that Sabina was able to provide. From start to finish, she exceeded all our expectations and made our special day truly unforgettable. Sabina’s dedication and willingness to go above and beyond stood out right from the beginning. She not only accommodated my request for a unique location but also embraced the adventure with enthusiasm. We decided on Mont St. Michel, and Sabina didn’t hesitate to hike through the mud and fields to capture the perfect angle for our engagement photos.
SABINA CAN SPRINKLE SOME PIXIE DUST TO MAKE YOUR SPECIAL DAY ALL THE MORE MAGICAL

Sabina was friendly, patient, enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable of the area to get us to the best spots. Not to mention being a damn good photographer to boot. She captured our magical moments in stills that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Plus she even surprised us by producing a special montage of the occasion. So in short, if you’re looking for an experienced and extremely talented photographer in France who can sprinkle some pixie dust to make your special day all the more magical, I highly recommend you to get in touch with Sabina!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANIBAS PHOTOGRAPHY.

SABINA IS A VERY ATTENTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
I highly recommend her. Sabina is a very attentive and professional photographer. Her work is really high quality. She allows us to keep wonderful moments of our wedding. Thank you, Sabina.
SABINA’S WARMTH AND KINDNESS WERE EVIDENT

We asked Sabina to take our wedding photos at Mont Saint Michel. My husband and I weren’t good at English, so we were worried that things would go well, but Sabina’s warmth and kindness was evident from our email exchanges beforehand, so we were able to approach the day with confidence. On the day of the shoot, I had no problems whatsoever and I really enjoyed filming, as long as I had a translation function and a smile on my face. We were able to take many wonderful photos of the distant view of Mont Saint-Michel and various parts of the island, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY PHOTOGRAPHY NEEDS!

Sabina was incredibly communicative. She responded promptly to our emails and messages, and was very flexible with our changing of order number (because we loved so many photos and had the hardest time choosing which we wanted… another testament to her work)! Lastly, Sabina edited and sent the photos to us in a really reasonable amount of time; she even offered to send us a few sneak peaks in a matter of a few days so that we had some to enjoy while she finished editing the entire album. We are overly thrilled with our photos and experience with Sabina and would highly recommend her for any photography needs!
AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH SABINA

My fiancé and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sabina as she secretly captured our most special moment. She perfectly executed my fiancé’s vision of how he wanted our engagement moment to be captured- it was absolutely stunning and we are so thrilled. Aside from capturing the actual moment, Sabina then walked us through an entire engagement photoshoot, bearing with us as my fiancé and I were both feeling a bit “camera shy”. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and offered suggestions for how and where we might pose together for a variety of shots.
