Blue & pink for a romantic & trendy wedding

6 mai 2019

Last July 21 Alex Tome and I headed to a small town located halfway between Lyon and Chambery on a hot and sunny Saturday. We barely had 3 hours of sleep before leaving, so it was a little uncomfortable. Our appointment was at 10am at the family property of the grooms.

This place was filled with natural stones, greenery, and sophisticated simplicity, lending itself perfectly to a wedding. How lucky were they to get married in the very place where they had shared the most significant moments of their lives. The decor was already set up beautifully when we arrived. Nath Majenia’s teams were running in all directions. I was looking forward to everything we would discover as the day progressed!

We join A & J in their respective rooms. The bride’s wedding preparation is already well underway. The magnificent dress designed by Nicolas Fafiotte is hanging above the bed, as if it were levitating. The boys are getting ready too! Colonel Mustard’s bow ties are on the desk, waiting to be put on. There are smiles everywhere.

The wedding day goes by very quickly. We run from the preparations of the pretty bride to those of the dandy groom. Both are ready. It’s time for them to discover each other by the pool. I enjoyed watching their friends peeping out of the bedroom window. I don’t know how to explain how I felt when they saw each other. Such passion. Such desire. They were so beautifully intense. Then we went on to some group shots straight out of « Vanity Fair ». I love moments when I can model the photo. Adjust the balance. Play around with the postures. Create a gorgeous picture where the bride and groom are surrounded by their dearest friends. What a great gift to give them, don’t you think?

We then went to the village church located a few hundred meters from the small castle. The little church was crowded. The latecomers were standing at the back of the church. The bride and groom were surrounded by their respective witnesses. Their families sat on the benches. As soon as they entered, tears of joy and pride ran down the guests cheeks. The ceremony was very emotional and was welcomed with a lot of cheers. An atmosphere one rarely sees in a Gospel group. Smiles, tears, love. A church beautifully decorated by the talented Natalie. The bride and groom left the church with confetti twirling around them.

The bride and groom drove off on the church square towards the castle in an old white vintage car.

Time for cocktails, group photos, appetizers and meals prepared by chefs considered « Meilleurs Ouvriers de France », Jean-Paul Pignol and Mathieu Vianney, both starred chef of the famous restaurant « La Mère Brazier ». The bride and groom, the video director of « Marions-Nous dans les Bois », Matt Roal-Raynaud and us, took a moment to take pictures of the couple.

We joined the guests again under a hedge of glitter during the newlyweds’ entrance. This would be the start of an incredible evening, full of light, dance and joy!
