Wedding at the Château de Ferrière

The initiative for this wedding editorial was born from our desire to capture the essence of a place full of history and character, where every white stone tells a story. We were looking for a place that offered both space and varied atmospheres, allowing us to create authentic and inspiring scenes.

Shooting mainly outdoors was a priority for us, in order to take advantage of the natural light and the environment. What definitely won over the team and myself was the love at first sight for this magnificent marble table. It truly brought a touch of elegance and refinement to our entire vision.

The shooting team

Each talent participating in this project was carefully selected for their exceptional qualities, thus bringing a unique touch to this wedding editorial.

At the base of this organization and artistic direction, there was my intervention @mandydorian.beauty. I then called Salma @jasminandpeonies to add her modern touch and enrich my design. Her work infused elegance and refinement into every element of the event. It was essential for me to collaborate with Olivia and Morgan @alchemia.photoandfilm, two talented professionals who knew how to capture the essence of each moment, transforming emotions into images and videos of great sensitivity.

The floral arrangements, created by Cyril @le.fleuriste, brought a new vitality, transforming spaces into true works of art.

Stationery, made by Emilie @croquezlapomme, added a touch of sophistication and modernity, fitting perfectly with our aesthetic. The silverware provided by Elodie @les.petitesgermaines has magnified the art of the table with a classic and timeless charm.

To enhance our models, I used my expertise in hair and makeup, opting for natural and contemporary beauty looks, making them even more radiant. The dresses of @arha_official and the shoes of @prada brought glamour and luxury, while the costumes of @rives_paris gave our bride and groom a chic and modern look. The watches @cartier and the jewels of @marie_mas_jewelry completed the looks with timeless elegance.

The smooth coordination of the entire project was ensured by Dorian @dorian_rfn, ensuring every step goes smoothly. The authentic and inspiring content was captured by Marine @ohmygirls.moments, who was able to reflect the essence of the event while participating with joyful energy.

On the flavor side, Asmaa @thebloomingbuffet delighted our taste buds with refined and creative cuisine. The elegant furniture provided by @solutions_evenements allowed us to create atmospheres in perfect harmony with our vision, while @fematverhuur added a touch of sophistication to the art of the table.

Finally, our lovers Laura and Jack @lausandjack gracefully and naturally embodied the spirit of this editorial, bringing their authentic love to the lens.

Each member of this team played a crucial role in creating this editorial, transforming it into a true work of art. I am honored to have had the opportunity to collaborate with such talented professionals.

The Artistic Direction

The creative process behind this atmosphere was born from a desire to merge luxury and modernity, while avoiding ostentatious excess. I wanted to create a luxurious environment, but without going overboard, by focusing on a subtle and elegant modernity.

My goal was to show that luxury can be both refined and original. So I chose to play with shapes and textures, whether in the art of the table or in the decorative elements. Every detail was thought out to bring a touch of originality, while remaining faithful to this modern vision.

Ultimately, it was about creating an atmosphere where each element, although luxurious, invites simplicity and authenticity, while being imbued with a creativity that leaves no one indifferent.

Professional advice for future brides and grooms

Planning and decorating a wedding can seem like a daunting task, but with the right guidance and a team of experienced professionals, it can be an exciting and rewarding adventure.

1. Define a clear vision from the start: Before you start planning, take the time to define your wedding vision together.
