The day begins at Château de Seguin in a lively and cheerful atmosphere. While some guests enjoy a quiet breakfast and take in the calm of the estate, others gather around a game of billiards, sharing laughter and conversation. From the very start of the day, the mood is relaxed, warm, and convivial.

Matthieu then joins his closest friends for the preparations. Surrounded by his groomsmen and loved ones, he enjoys these final moments before the ceremony in a joyful and close-knit atmosphere. Between conversations, laughter, and a few glasses of champagne, the morning unfolds with a great sense of excitement.

On her side, Marion gets ready surrounded by her bridesmaids and family in an equally festive and emotional atmosphere. Between final details, slipping into her dress, and the admiring looks of her loved ones, every moment is filled with emotion before heading to the church to meet her future husband.

Under beautiful weather, guests take their seats inside the church while a pianist gently accompanies the ceremony, bringing both elegance and emotion to the moment. The atmosphere is both solemn and warm as Matthieu makes his entrance on the arm of his mother, before discovering Marion walking in with her father in a deeply emotional moment.

Throughout the ceremony, exchanged glances, smiles, and music fill the church, making it a truly powerful experience for both the couple and their guests. The exchange of rings becomes one of the highlights of the ceremony, witnessed with great emotion by family and friends.

As they leave the church, Marion and Matthieu are greeted with applause, a shower of confetti, and the joy of their loved ones, all happy to celebrate the beginning of this new chapter together.

The cocktail begins in a festive and friendly atmosphere at Château de Seguin, accompanied by a saxophonist who brings an elegant and lively touch throughout the afternoon. Guests fully enjoy this moment, sharing laughs, conversations, and special moments with the newlyweds.

As tradition goes, group photos also punctuate the cocktail, ranging from large family portraits to friends’ shots and more spontaneous candid moments captured on the spot. The atmosphere keeps building as the evening goes on, driven by the guests’ great energy and joy.

Several speeches then highlight the day, especially the bride’s father’s speech, which is particularly moving and emotional. Between bursts of laughter, Marion and Matthieu also take part in the famous “Superman” moment, thrown into the air by their friends under everyone’s cheers.

The evening continues with the traditional bouquet toss, highly anticipated, as well as a rugby ball throw, a perfect nod to the groom’s world and personality.

At the end of the cocktail, we took advantage of the beautiful setting of Château de Seguin to capture Marion and Matthieu’s couple portraits. Between the château’s park and the surrounding vineyards, the newlyweds shared a quiet moment away from the energy of the day.

In a relaxed and natural atmosphere, this session allowed us to create images filled with complicity, tenderness, and spontaneity. The stunning surroundings of the estate brought an elegant and authentic feel to every shot.

As the session came to an end, a beautiful ray of sunlight broke through over the vineyards and the château, offering the perfect light to close this part of the day.

The evening kicks off with a spectacular entrance from the newlyweds, welcomed by fully energized guests who immediately set an incredible atmosphere in the room. With applause, cheers, and smiles everywhere, the celebration gets off to a perfect start.

Throughout the dinner, Marion and Matthieu’s loved ones take turns sharing speeches, stories, and memories. Filled with both laughter and emotion, the couple is deeply moved, sometimes brought to tears by the heartfelt words of their friends and family.

After the cake is brought in, the evening reaches a new highlight with the couple’s first dance, held outside under the château’s beautiful covered courtyard. In a setting that is both elegant and festive, Marion and Matthieu open the dance floor before quickly being joined by all their guests, marking the start of a long night of celebration, music, and joy.
