BEHIND GRAND JOUR
Grand Jour’s story began in 2019 when filmmaker and photographer Simon Bonneau relocated to Asheville, North Carolina from his home near Nantes, France.
Simon attended film school in Nantes with a focus in cinematography and soon after he began touring as a videographer and photographer with musicians. Aside from running Grand Jour, Simon also works on music videos, documentaries, brands identity, and street photography. You can see some of his other work here: www.simonbonneau.com
Grand Jour is French for “big day” and was started to document life’s big moments so that they may exist eternally as digital heirlooms.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
After six amazing years managing projects and clients, Simon will shift the way Grand Jour operates in the wedding industry in 2026, as he will be taking a step back from the business side of things for the foreseeable future and work exclusively with other businesses as a lead or second shooter.
