« Mariage Bohème Au Coeur De La Gruyère » for the wedding of Céleste & Frederic. They have chosen to welcome their guests at the Hotel du Golf de la Gruyère.
Céleste & Frédéric you already saw them a few weeks ago in one of my articles. We had made photos for their engagement session in the gorges of La Jogne and at the foot of the castle of Gruyères. They are young and beautiful. They are adorable and it is with great pleasure that I found them on their wedding day in a place I didn’t know! The Hotel du Golf de la Gruyère! And their terrace has a view on the lake of Gruyère just unbelievably hot!
I learned that this place was going to be restructured and that the hotel was going to be razed to the ground to build luxury apartments – for well-to-do golfers. It’s a shame the terrace will be destroyed and the area will miss the staff service. It feels so good here. It’s restful… So restful that… nothing at all!
It is September 7, 2019. Saturday. 10h00. Beginning of the preparations in one of the spacious rooms of the hotel whose decoration remained blocked in the 70s. I thus find the girls in full make-up and hairstyle. I prepare the bride’s belongings to take a picture of them in the spirit of « Mariage Bohème Au Coeur De La Gruyère ». I love the bouquet and the wreath of dried flowers! It’s different. Soft. Authentic. I loved doing the portraits of Celeste at the end. A beautiful light, my beautiful, casual bride. It was different and it felt good
For the authentic masculine side, I am welcomed in the next room with a small glass of maple syrup whisky. I confess, I tasted it. I didn’t think I liked it because this whisky is not my thing, but in fact, this little taste of maple syrup that remains on your lips, I really liked it! So at the Christmas market, we found some and a new bottle took place on our shelves! For his portrait photos, I didn’t want to stay in the room. Too soft. Too much like Celeste’s photos. So I took a risk and we went to the old spa, now a seminar room, to do his portraits. Contrast, lines, a little bit of a London bar atmosphere near the bay windows, don’t you think?
Bohemian Wedding In The Heart Of La Gruyère
Once the photos of Frédéric, our groom of the day, were finished, I was happy to discover the beautiful decoration made by the Asclepiads for the secular ceremony. The time in general at this time is tightening and the photos of the decoration follows with the discovery of the bride and groom and the beginning of the ceremony. For the blow, one of Celeste’s witnesses being late, my sidekick, Jeremy, who had joined me for the ceremony and I were able to take advance and draw the portrait to each guest! Always one less thing to do during the ceremony.
We attended a beautiful ceremony, full of emotions, in an incredibly poetic setting. The bride and groom went out under the bubbles for this « Bohemian Wedding In The Heart Of La Gruyère ». Then cocktail, group photos and … finally the moment of happiness that I confess to be waiting for impatiently, the photos of couples! In addition there, between the place below the golf course on the lake, their outfit and our mutual trust in my work and their couple, I had plenty of time to offer them different things! Banco!
The rest of the evening usually took place with dinner, surprises, entertainment, crying, laughter and dancing. I met some nice people at this wedding. People that I enjoy meeting again from time to time at my home or as on this July 11th at another wedding on the other side of the French speaking part of Switzerland.
So, I could not finish my little speech without thanking them warmly for their trust. But also for these shared moments. For their enthusiasm towards my work. Their recommendation! At last, thank you for everything! And I look forward to meeting you on a terrace or at the carnival in Broc and discovering the incredible costumes of Celeste and her friends!
And if you ever want to see some excerpts from their album, it’s on my instagram in the permanent stories! Be patient there are a few before !
