Amy & Andy’s Dordogne chateau wedding took place at the Chateau Charmant in association with Marry Me in France. An outdoor wedding had been planned, both ceremony & meal, but the weather gods sadly refused that request. However, post-ceremony, it stayed dry and gradually improved throughout the rest of the day meaning the…
OK, it didn’t go quite as planned… The plan was for a 3 day outdoor wedding (other than dancing on the wedding day in the middle), but the weather gods decreed it was not to be. Friday, the sun shone and it was mid 20’s as it should be in this part of…
My second wedding of the year was another small/intimate wedding though this time even smaller than last weeks 35 person wedding with just 16 in total. Sophie & Will’s Secret Garden wedding took place at this idyllic venue in Dordogne, planned & managed to perfection by Sue Christie at Marry Me in France.…
Well bonjour 2018! What a way to start the 2018 wedding season with this absolute gem of a wedding. I wasn’t sure quite what to expect with Angie & Jarrod’s wedding as I wasn’t even supposed to be photographing it, but the photographer originally booked, could no longer make the date. Their loss…
I shoot 25 weddings a year. That’s my year’s work. Doesn’t sound much does it? But every wedding is a working week, so that’s 25 weeks work. Then because I also film approximately 50% of all the weddings I attend, that’s another 12-13 weeks work. All told, it’s 37-38 weeks work a year. Sounds alright…
Could have eaten outdoors. Wanted to eat outdoors. The weather forecast said it would be unwise. It was late September in South West France. It should have been OK, but on this particular day, it wasn’t. If I could have changed just one thing about Steff & Charlie’s wedding day, it would have been the…
I met Anouska & Tom twice prior to their wedding day. That’s quite rare. I recommend and normally meet all my clients at least once, but with Anouska & Tom, it was twice. The first time was because it was convenient. I needed to pop up to the venue which is local (to me) to…
What made this wedding special? Was it the weather? Certainly not, – the sun made fleeting appearances, but it had threatened rain and even thunderstorms all day. Was it the setting? Partly. It was a new never visited before venue for me and I like that because it means it’s totally original. Other than a…
So we ended on a real high in both Charlotte & Chris’s wedding in general and with the weather which was glorious.
Being a photographer, I will complain that is was too sunny…but then we are never 100% happy with the lighting which keeps us on our toes!
And so we come to the 3rd and final of this season’s weddings at Chateau de Lisse.
Cooler than expected, with the odd spit & spot of the wet stuff, but nothing that affected the day.
Victoria & Jamie’s French chateau wedding took place at one of South West France’s most beautiful venues, Chateau de Lisse.
This was my second of three visits to Chateau de Lisse this year and I think my 9th to date.
What is perfection? Is there such thing as a ‘perfect wedding’? Well all I can say is that if this one wasn’t, it was as close as you can get.
OK, it could have been 5 degrees warmer. It could have been 30 minutes later in the day. Err, I’m struggling now…
