Chateau Carrasses Wedding golden hour

A Relaxed and Elegant Chateau Les Carrasses Wedding

It was a stunning, sun-kissed day for Emma and Richard’s wedding at Chateau Les Carrasses. The chateau radiated beauty under clear skies. Their wedding was a joyous occasion, filled with unforgettable moments. My primary aim as a wedding photographer is always the same: to encapsulate the essence of the day so that my clients can relive it whenever they wish.

The Preparations

Preparing for the shoot is crucial to me. It’s a time to bond with the wedding party and integrate myself into their circle. Building rapport is key at Chateau Les Carrasses. I arrived early to meet the guests and start capturing real, unscripted moments. The groom and his groomsmen laughed over rosé in their villa as they got ready together. Emma’s bridesmaids filled the main house with excitement. Her reaction when they saw her dress brought tears of joy.

The Ceremony in Front of the Glasshouse

The ceremony unfolded in front of the exquisite glasshouse inspired by Gustave Eiffel. Friends and family gathered under a bright sun to witness the couple’s vows. There was a burst of confetti as they greeted their guests, smiles lighting up every face. Drinks and canapés followed on the terrace, where the rolling countryside stretched as far as the eye could see.

Golden Hour Magic and Unforgettable Guests

As their Chateau Les Carrasses Wedding eased into golden hour, the light softened in a way that made every portrait feel timeless. I guided Emma and Richard through two fifteen-minute sessions, one before the meal and one just before the dancing, capturing them bathed in that glowing light. This is when the chateau really came alive.

What made this wedding especially memorable were the guests. From grandparents sharing stories on the terrace to children being children, every interaction was authentic. One guest shouted “Encore!” during the speeches and laughter rippled across the crowd. I love capturing those candid snapshots that tell a couple’s story beyond the posed images.

Fine Dining Meets Friendly Atmosphere

Dinner was served under an open sky. Round tables were arranged over-looking the vineyards with tastefully simple floral arrangements and linen that fluttered in the evening breeze. The relaxed communal setting at their Chateau Les Carrasses Wedding encouraged conversation and everyone lingered over the meal. It was exactly the kind of celebration where images of clinking glasses, animated faces, and shared desserts truly shine.
