LOIRE VALLEY · FRANCE

CHÂTEAU DE JALESNES

Destination wedding in France at Château de Jalesnes in the Loire Valley, photographed from the first quiet moments of the morning to the last dance. Groomsmen in black tie in the château library, bridesmaids in olive green on the rooftop terrace. An outdoor ceremony in the park, a champagne tower at the château doors and a long candlelit dinner under the pergola. I photograph weddings in France with a candid, editorial eye and natural colours.
