Château Wedding in France
Dreaming of a château wedding in France? You’re not alone. There’s something magical about saying your vows in a place steeped in history, surrounded by vineyards, stone walls, olive trees and golden light. If you’re planning a wedding that feels elegant, relaxed and totally unforgettable — a château in France is the perfect setting.
I’m Kerry Morgan, a wedding photographer based in the South of France. I’ve photographed over 500 weddings, many of them in beautiful châteaux across this region. If you’re planning a château wedding in France, I’d love to help you capture it naturally and without fuss.
Why Choose a Château for your wedding ?
Château offer something truly special — not just for the setting, but for the experience. Unlike a hotel or a traditional venue, many châteaux in France feel more like private homes. You can settle in, take your time, and host your guests across a whole weekend if you like.
Often surrounded by vineyards, gardens or forests, they offer incredible backdrops and a peaceful, luxurious feel without being flashy. It’s no wonder couples from around the world choose a château wedding in France when they want something timeless but relaxed.
You can host everything on-site: the ceremony, cocktails on the lawn, dinner under the stars, and dancing into the night — all in one place, without rushing from location to location.
My approach to a Château Wedding
I photograph weddings in a calm, unobtrusive and natural way. I’ll never ask you to do anything that feels awkward or staged.
Most of my couples don’t love being in front of the camera and that’s fine. I know how to make things feel easy, and I’ll guide you gently when needed.
You’ll get a collection of images that tell the full story of your day not just the big moments, but the little ones too. The way the light hits the side of the château at sunset. A glance across the table. The hug from a parent. The moment it all sinks in.
Having worked at many different venues, I understand how a château wedding in France flows — from navigating the rooms and grounds to working with the light and architecture. It’s about capturing the atmosphere as much as the people.
