  • DIVERSE LOCATIONS : Each and every corner of France has its own charm, character and scenery so you really will be spoilt for choice when trying to find a location to tie the knot. From rural countryside to rugged coastlines, jaw-dropping mountains and stunning vineyards, you’re guaranteed to find the perfect setting to celebrate your love story. Make it to a wine castle around Bordeaux, or into an olive tree field in Provence or on the beach in Corsica. To help you to make up your mind i wrote a little article about the 5 best wedding venues in Provence here.


  • PHOTOGRAPH BACKDROPS : Along with the various locations on offer, you will be graced with some of the most beautiful backdrops for your wedding photographs. I am always inspired by my surroundings and love making the most of nature and the great outdoors when capturing my couples, and the scenery opportunities are endless in France.

FRENCH TRADITIONS

The French traditions are guaranteed to capture your heart and we love seeing how our couples embrace them at their own wedding day, from champagne towers to croquembouche. 

  • No Language Barriers : The majority of regions in France are English-speaking so you don’t have to worry about language barriers, which can cause difficulties when booking venues and vendors. As an English-speaking French photographer, I get to know each and every couple that I work with to ensure I am able to capture your love story and leave you with memories of your special day.
  • Let your imagination run wild…: While it can be difficult to host a legal ceremony in France, you can easily host a symbolic ceremony which means you’ll have no restrictions when it comes to choosing the venue, vows and décor. It’s a chance for you to really let your imagination run wild and have the day of your dreams.
