If you are good at math, you have all the clues to know ATN's age. But what you don't know is that his child-like side never left him, and in his head, he is still a young man! He is always ready for a board game, running around with the kids at the park, the pool or the yard, or making a joke that does not translate well in US humor. Playful ATN will make sure we have a good time, will dance at the party and will make this journey fun.

With his assistant AI (the cat), ATN the marketing manager is fighting with his dyslexia and the temptation to let AI take control. The sign you are reading a writing from ATN: he replied to you in French without noticing, or some words are missing. Elizabeth thinks it is cute, do you?

Before creating ATN wedding photography, ATN was designing bicycles. He worked with the best companies (Specialized, Cannondale, GT, Lapierre) and created some of the best MTB of their times. The project he is most proud of is the GT Fury 2013. This bike won many world cups and was awarded "Bike of the Year".
Still passionate about MTB, ATN enjoys riding, which keeps the employes' heath and endurance high (So ATNfoto can keep running until the end of the day during your wedding).

ATN is a Gemini. He grew up with everyone telling him he has 2 sides because of it... Well looking at it more carefully, there might be some truth to that. ATN is an introvert and an extravert! You don't get both at once, but he switches seamlessly between these 2 personalities, like he switches from thinking in French to English, or from his analytic engineering side to his artistic, emphatic, connected to his emotions side.

ATN, WHAT IS YOUR STORY?
WHY A CICADA?
I know, why a bug on your branding? Believe it or not, "la cigale" is actually cool where I come from. For me it is a deep sensory thing, mixed with nostalgia, that brings back the warm summers of the south of France. It is tied to vacation, to laughter, to long dinners under the sycamore trees at a big wooden table full of family and friends, in the evening when the cicadas have finally gone quiet and it is cool enough to enjoy being outside.
A cicada is always there, you just rarely see it, a little like my approach to photography. Always around you, part of the day, until you stop noticing I am there at all.
And if you are playful, you might spot a few cicadas hidden around this website. Enjoy the hunt.
This is the farm where I grew up in south of France. It was bought by my great grand-parents in 1911.
FAMILY?
I am the oldest of 5. I am the only one that moved to the USA. I love going back to France and enjoying some long family meals and playing some board games with my brothers and sister.
I am happily remarried and living in Kansas City. I am now a father of 5!
WHAT ABOUT YOUR KANSAS CITY EXPERIENCE?
I moved to Kansas City in 2019. A few month later, the KC Chiefs won the first Superbowl of the Mahomes/Kelce era. That's when I decided it was time for me to become a football fan. When I was in California, the golden State Warriors were rocking it, so I was a basketball fan! And I am a soccer fan once every 4 years when France plays well. No matter the sport, I am usually only watching a handful of games, so I would not say I am a hardcore fan but we're getting off subject!
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I grew up on a vineyard in south of France, 5 miles from the water Perrier source, 15 miles from the Mediterranean sea, and 20 miles from the old Roman city of Nimes. I lived in France in various places, including Dijon, (yes, where the mustard is made), Troyes (where Champagne comes from), or Metz (that has a beautiful Christmas market) before I moved to the USA. Then, I lived in Connecticut where I worked as an engineer designing bicycles for Cannondale and GT. Eventually, Specialized (another bicycle company) gave me an offer I couldn't refuse, and I moved to Morgan Hill, California near the Silicon Valley.
why atn?
Before moving to the USA in 2011, I spent my junior year of High School as an exchange student in Florida. I came with this trick for my friends to say my name and it stayed with me ever since... My name is Etienne, and the way to pronounce it is ATN.
"HE FELT LIKE ONE OF THE FAMILY AND ADDED TO THE EXCITEMENT OF THE DAY."

FUN FACTS
CALIFORNIA SUNSET
I used to ride to the top of the hill in the morning before work to catch the sunrise. A 2h bike/photo trip I never got tired of!
CALIFORNIA SIERRA
This spot may be what I miss the most about California! I loved hiking and camping there!
BUFFALO RIVER
We have this little tradition to kayak the buffalo river in Arkansas on the 4th of July weekend.
TRAVEL
I travel a lot to Asia for work. Vietnam, Taiwan, China... The picture is from Seoul (south Korea)
Santon de Provence
We have a tradition that we do at Christmas when I go back to France.
We build a different scene each time and we build it all together as a family.
Camargues
I grew up in a part of France with a rich bull and horse tradition. During summer, there are lots of games involving conducting bulls. You can't see them, but there are 4 bulls in between the horses.
GEOTHERMAL
We installed a geothermal unit in our house in Lee's summit. It made so much dust to dig the holes in the ground that our neighbors called the fire department!
MOUNTAIN BIKES
A nice perk of designing mountain bikes is that you get to ride and test your creation!
NIMES
Like the Colosseum of Rome, but this one is Nimes where I did some of my engineering study.
SUPERBOWL
Since I moved to Kansas City, the Chiefs have been doing pretty well. I promise I am not moving away!
FAMILY MEALS
I love sitting down for long meals and discussing and laughing forever. I guess it is a very French thing to do!
COOKING
I much prefer cooking than eating fast-food. I do love a fancy dinner at a restaurant!
SALT LAKE
10 miles from where I grew up, there is a massive salt farm. The water turns pink around the end of summer, and it is beautiful.
