Bonphotage Chateau du Grand Luce Chateau France Wedding Film Photography and Videography - Alexia and Justin

Nestled in the heart of France’s enchanting Loire Valley, Château du Grand Lucé set the stage for Alexia and Justin’s unforgettable wedding weekend — a celebration that perfectly captured the essence of French luxury, timeless elegance, and effortless romance.

From the moment guests arrived, they were immersed in a scene straight from a French fairytale. The château’s manicured gardens, grand architecture, and serene countryside views provided the ideal backdrop for a multi-day celebration that blended old-world sophistication with modern joy.

A Ceremony Surrounded by History and Beauty

As Alexia made her way through the château’s formal gardens — her delicate lace gown flowing gracefully behind her — the moment felt suspended in time. The symmetrical parterres and towering trees framed her walk, evoking the grandeur of 18th-century France while capturing the intimacy of her steps toward forever.

The ceremony took place overlooking the estate’s sweeping lawns and ornate gardens, with the sounds of nature and soft classical music creating an atmosphere of refined serenity.

A Dinner à la Française

Following the vows, guests gathered for an alfresco dinner set against the château’s limestone façade. A long, candlelit table adorned with blush and ivory blooms stretched elegantly across the courtyard — every detail thoughtfully curated to reflect Alexia and Justin’s timeless taste.

As twilight settled over the Loire Valley, golden light spilled through the château’s arched windows, illuminating crystal glassware and gold-rimmed china. It was a dining experience that could only happen in France — romantic, indulgent, and steeped in beauty.

A Night to Remember

As the evening gave way to celebration, fireworks lit up the French sky, mirroring the joy in Alexia and Justin’s smiles. Champagne toasts and laughter filled the air as guests watched bursts of color above the château - the perfect finale to a weekend of love, artistry, and French grandeur.

Bonphotage Fine Art Wedding Photography - Chateau Torreau - Provence, France - Published on White Wren

This inspiration shoot at Chateau de Tourreau was designed to showcase all the beauty that comes alone with an intimate destination wedding in the Provencial French countryside. We are so thrilled to see this beautiful wedding featured on the White Wren

 

As the day began the bride was able to take a few moments alone and soak in all the beauty of the chateau before stepping out onto the sun-drenched terrace to take in the view of the perfectly maintained grounds. The bride changed into a stunning, plunging-back gown and carried a breathtaking pink and white peony filled bouquet with accent of fresh fruit from Jardin de Provence. Once she was ready, she strolled down the grand staircase to meet her love.

Bonphotage Fine Art Film Destination Wedding Photography - Chateau Bouthonvilliers France - Nicole + Tarik

I literally squealed when these film scans landed in my inbox. Quite possibly the most beautiful wedding we've had the privilege of covering, Nicole + Tarik's special day was nothing short of a dream! The ceremony took place by the chapel steps at the historic Chateau Bouthonvilliers in the French Countryside. It had been raining in the morning but the skies opened up with the perfect amount of sun and light breeze right before they said "I do" (a film photographer's dream!) The flowers from Floresie were out of this world (see her bouquet!!) and we absolutely cannot forget Nicole's blush Lazaro dress which literally stopped me in my tracks! Every detail was accounted for, from the oval emerald stunning engagement ring, to the hand calligraphed vow books to the studded louboutins, and all of it was perfectly executed by Mayra from The Event House.

Bonphotage Fine Art Photography - Parisian Ballet Couple's Session

It's Friday and a perfect occasion to share one of the most beautiful shoots I have had the pleasure of capturing. I have long been in awe of the grace and beauty of movement created by ballerinas and it was a personal dream of mine to capture it myself. On a beautiful Paris day in February, I met with McKeely Borger and Graham Kotowich of the Ballet de l'Opera De Metz Metropole and made my dream a reality! I am still mesmerized by how stunning these images are and I hope they make your day as well!
