With a wonderful Welsh couple, S & L and their wonderful friends and family this was a fabulous wedding day that I had very much been looking forward to. I had met the couple a year prior and we had a lovely time wandering around La Reole for a pre wedding meet up.

The day was not without its emotional moments due to a recent loss in the family & the father of the bride being seriously ill the day of the wedding. Toasts were raised to absent loved ones and the day was enjoyed by all present.

The wedding of J & A brought together friends and family from England, New Zealand and Malaysia to celebrate their commitment to each other in a wonderful setting next to the Dordogne.

Planned by Kate of French Touch Weddings the day flowed seamlessly from preparation, to the ceremony within the pavillion to a dinner under the sky in the courtyard. Music throughout the day was provided by pianist Damien who then DJ’d the party late into the night.

This wedding was perfect. Absolutely everything went well & ran on time. The weather? Beautiful clear blue skies and some golden light in the evening. The venue is elegant and full of light.

The large tree filled park, birdsong, blue shutters, an orangerie, splashes from the pool - these were the sounds and sites that greeted me as I arrived to film day 2 of the wedding of J & A.

Their legal ceremony happened the day before at the Mairie within the beautiful square of Cadouin. Drinks afterwards in the shade and away from the glare of an unrelenting sun. Visitors to the village watched the beautiful spectacle as the wedding guests arrived shortly followed by the bride and groom in a dark blue convertible.
