The festivities began with their civil union at the beautiful Bordeaux town hall, surrounded by their loved ones.<\/p>\n

The next day started with Samy’s preparations in the peaceful setting of Ch\u00e2teau Petit Luc, followed by Ana\u00efs getting ready at Domaine de Mahourat<\/a> in a warm and joyful atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The symbolic ceremony, marked by heartfelt speeches and sincere vows, was one of the highlights of the day. A lively cocktail hour, accompanied by a saxophonist, set the tone for the evening. As the golden hour bathed the estate in soft light, the couple enjoyed a magical photo session along the majestic plane tree-lined path and in the surrounding fields.<\/p>\n

The night continued with laughter, surprises, and dancing, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1736606296420{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”13543″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” desctop_mt=”margin-lg-20t” desctop_mb=”margin-lg-35b” desctop_md_mt=”margin-md-20t” desctop_md_mb=”margin-md-35b” tablets_mt=”margin-sm-20t” tablets_mb=”margin-sm-20b” mobile_mt=”margin-xs-40t” mobile_mb=”margin-xs-10b” el_class=”xb”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1737471490457{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”xb-paragraph-header”]Civil union[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A few days after their engagement session at Le Porge, I met Ana\u00efs and Samy again for their civil wedding at the beautiful Bordeaux town hall.

After capturing a few details of his suit and accessories, Samy puts on an elegant green suit paired with a bow tie. Together with Thomas, the videographer, we capture these moments in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Once Samy is ready, we head to Domaine de Mahourat, where Ana\u00efs is getting ready surrounded by her friends. Between laughter and glasses of champagne, she enjoys these precious moments. After her hair and makeup are done, she slips into her stunning flowing dress. I take this opportunity to capture beautiful portraits of the bride, radiant and full of elegance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1736606296420{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_masonry_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”15″ element_width=”6″ gap=”15″ initial_loading_animation=”fadeIn” grid_id=”vc_gid:1768855385435-521ec3b0-2d70-7″ include=”13572,13573,13574,13575,13576,13577,13578,13579,13580,13581,13582,13583,13584,13585,13586,13587,13588,13589,13597,13590,13591,13592,13593,13594,13596,13595,13598,13599,13600,13601,13602,13603,13604,13605,13606,13607,13608,13609,13610,13611,13612,13615,13613,13614″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” desctop_mt=”margin-lg-20t” desctop_mb=”margin-lg-35b” desctop_md_mt=”margin-md-20t” desctop_md_mb=”margin-md-35b” tablets_mt=”margin-sm-20t” tablets_mb=”margin-sm-20b” mobile_mt=”margin-xs-40t” mobile_mb=”margin-xs-10b” el_class=”xb”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1737471490457{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”xb-paragraph-header”]Secular ceremony[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The time for the civil ceremony arrives, and the guests, comfortably seated under the pavilion of the estate, eagerly await the arrival of the newlyweds.<\/p>\n

The ceremony is marked by touching speeches from their loved ones: parents, grandparents, siblings, and witnesses share heartfelt words that make this moment unique and personal.<\/p>\n

After exchanging vows and rings, Ana\u00efs and Samy kiss to the applause of the guests. As they exit, they walk through a tunnel of guests formed by an honor guard, before heading to the orchard for a festive cocktail.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1736606296420{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_masonry_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”15″ element_width=”6″ gap=”15″ initial_loading_animation=”fadeIn” grid_id=”vc_gid:1768855385435-1b16274e-dca1-4″ include=”13616,13617,13618,13619,13620,13621,13622,13623,13624,13625,13626,13627,13628,13629,13630,13631,13632,13633,13634,13635,13636,13637,13638,13639,13640,13641,13642,13643,13644,13645,13646,13647,13648,13649,13650″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” desctop_mt=”margin-lg-20t” desctop_mb=”margin-lg-35b” desctop_md_mt=”margin-md-20t” desctop_md_mb=”margin-md-35b” tablets_mt=”margin-sm-20t” tablets_mb=”margin-sm-20b” mobile_mt=”margin-xs-40t” mobile_mb=”margin-xs-10b” el_class=”xb”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1737471490457{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”xb-paragraph-header”]Cocktail[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]After the classic group photos, it’s time for the cocktail hour!

The memorable moments continue to unfold: the guests surprise the couple with a choreographed dance specially prepared for them, and then Samy improvises an original bouquet toss before Ana\u00efs does the real toss for her friends.<\/p>\n

As the evening light softens, it creates the perfect atmosphere for a romantic photo session.

We continue with the straw bales in the park. Ana\u00efs, determined, climbs onto one and poses proudly next to Samy, creating unique and fun images.<\/p>\n

The session concludes in a field behind the estate, bathed in perfect light filtered by the distant trees. It\u2019s one of my favorite moments of the day.<\/p>\n

Ana\u00efs changed into a new outfit for the henna ceremony, a moment steeped in tradition and emotion.<\/p>\n
