French château weddings have an unmistakable atmosphere. The warm Provençal light, the historic stone façades, the scent of herbs in the gardens and the long summer evenings spent dining outdoors. Whether I am photographing at Château de Saint Martory, Château La Durantie or Château du Raysse, my focus is always on creating images that feel modern, romantic and editorial.
I am a destination wedding photographer working across France and Europe, documenting château weddings for style conscious couples from the US, the UK and beyond. From quiet morning moments in beautifully restored bedrooms to candlelit dinners in the courtyard, I photograph the weekend with a calm and unobtrusive approach. My work blends intimate storytelling with the grandeur of your setting.
Why couples choose a French château wedding
A château wedding offers a sense of history and exclusivity that is hard to recreate elsewhere. Expansive grounds for outdoor ceremonies, beautiful architecture for portraits and the feeling of hosting guests in your own private estate for the weekend.
My role is to photograph all of this with intention. The sweeping landscapes, the intricate details and the real moments that unfold naturally. The result is a collection of images that feels timeless, refined and true to the relaxed French atmosphere.
Editorial photography for château weddings in France
Each region brings something different. Provence has soft colours and warm light.
Dordogne has medieval villages, rolling hills and tranquil river scenes. Châteaux further south offer dramatic courtyards and beautiful evening light.
My editorial photography approach remains consistent. I offer gentle guidance when needed for portraits, then step back so the weekend can unfold naturally. The images are clean, flattering and documentary led with an editorial finish. They feel effortless and modern rather than posed.
Real château weddings in France
I have photographed château weddings at venues such as Château de Saint Martory, Château du Raysse and Château La Durantie, capturing everything from elegant outdoor ceremonies to late night party energy. Each location has its own character and I work with the space and light to create something that feels unique to you.
Once your images are ready, you receive a carefully curated gallery that tells the full story of the weekend, from welcome drinks through to the final song.
Planning your French château wedding
Many of my couples plan their wedding from abroad, especially from the US and the UK. I work across Europe throughout the year, so travel is simple and completely handled for you. This allows you to focus on your guests and the experience you are creating.
