A FRENCH CHATEAU WEDDING

A wedding in Provence is a special affair, the light is so pretty and there’s a scent in the air, of rosé in glasses and the green of the trees and the humming and buzzing of fat bumble bees. Nicola and James came together in May to a cheer of bon chance on their French wedding day.

Planners: Lavender & Rose // Venue: Chateau Grimaldi // Dress: Alice Temperley

It was particularly lovely to return to the gorgeous Grimaldi, the location of my very first French wedding. Chateau Grimaldi is possibly the perfect venue for a summer wedding in Provence, only made better by the indispensable addition of the Lavender & Rose girls and their impeccable planning.

It’s been a very busy bank holiday week with just two days in the office to answer a hundred emails, finish some editing and a wedding album design and plan a return trip around Paris photographing the spectacularly chic Sinclair & Moore. It feels like this week has gone a million miles an hour, so I’m very grateful to have a few quiet hours on the trip to Bordeaux tomorrow, to photograph my first destination wedding of the year at the excellent Chateau Rigaud.

    What a lovely pretty wedding. I especially love the speeches and the way you have captured those expressions.

    I'm no photographer but some of my favorite images have streaks of sunlight streaming through. As my 4-yr-old would yell, there's drops of sun! The drops are magical, though.
