Wedding at Villa Ostignano in Tuscany
Today, our destination is Tuscany for a wedding in the heart of Chianti at a magnificent stone villa: Villa Ostignano. We met Mélissa & Thomas the day before the festivities, after having discussed their wedding at length via WhatsApp.
They hail from Switzerland, radiate a zest for life, and recently experienced the joy of becoming parents.
For their wedding, they wanted to take their guests on a journey, not too far, but enough to offer a change of scenery. As Thomas has Italian roots, Italy was the natural choice.
Simplicity, greenery, wood, good humor, and a touch of whimsy: that's how this wedding can be summarized. But also endless emotion, bursts of laughter, a united family, a touching ceremony – in short, everything came together for a truly timeless moment.
Engagement Session in Normandy
As you know, engagement sessions are incredibly important to us. First and foremost, they allow us to meet you or see you again, but more importantly, they serve as a first photographic introduction. This means one less thing to stress about on your big day.
As you know, we are always eager for new experiences. Shortly before lockdown, Clélia asked us if an engagement session in Normandy would be possible. At the time, with our extremely busy schedule, we had to decline. Then, COVID and its share of surprises meant that, after the lockdown, we finally set off to explore new regions with this lovely couple.
We had planned several days to ensure good weather (and without wanting to criticize the North, we must admit there was still a chance of rain).
Ultimately, on the big day, with perfect weather, we went to Arromanches. We started with shots from the cliff and finished with photos on the beach. It was a truly wonderful experience that warmed our hearts, as photography and travel are central to our lives.
Are you also considering an engagement session? Know that we regularly travel to different parts of France and beyond, so the opportunity to capture extraordinary shots is within reach.
Wedding at Hameau de Valouse in Provence
It was November 17th when we received Isaline's email, almost not believing it: a wedding in Provence, our first inquiry from Instagram. It was a lovely email with all the details, where we discovered Hameau de Valouse. Many exchanges with the bride followed, a true connection that materialized during our visit to Marseille for their engagement session.
After a few kilometers of winding roads in the heart of the Baronnies regional natural park in Provence to meet Isaline and Brice, we discovered Hameau de Valouse. With its stone houses, three swimming pools, and magical setting, we fell in love with this incredible place. And then there were these two people: beautiful, adorable, and touching. We also adored their style: a sumptuous dress from Madewithlove bridal and a handsome grey suit.
And despite the scorching heat, this wedding was bathed in a very relaxed and festive atmosphere, with an incredible energy at the cocktail hour and an incredibly touching ceremony filled with both laughter and tears.
Describing this day would be so complicated that we much prefer to share the photos. A big thank you again to our lovely couple for their trust. We adore you and hope to see you again very soon.
Heading to Domaine de Sarson for another wedding in Provence.
