From the start of the preparations, I captured precious moments, from Corentin and his best man to Olivia’s new haircut reveal. The civil ceremony was emotional and full of surprises, followed by a magical moment in the park of the domain. The evening, filled with speeches, dances, and laughter, featured a memorable entrance by the newlyweds, along with a series of photos capturing the essence of this unforgettable day.[\/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=”14348″ 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”]The preparations[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For this autumn wedding, I met Olivia and Corentin at the charming Domaine de Valmont in Barsac. Despite uncertain weather, my couple kept their smiles and started their preparations with good spirits.<\/p>\n

First, I joined Corentin, accompanied by his best man, to capture a convivial moment between the guys. I took care to photograph his suit and the accessories he had carefully chosen for this special day. Once the two friends were ready, I headed to Olivia, who was in the middle of her hair and makeup.<\/p>\n

With the help of her bridesmaids, I transported her dresses\u2014one for the civil ceremony and the other for the symbolic ceremony\u2014to one of the beautiful suites of the Domaine. I took the opportunity to capture every detail of her outfits, as well as her original bouquet, partly made of Legos.<\/p>\n

Once her hair and makeup were done, I photographed Olivia in her first dress, ready to experience this unforgettable day.<\/p>\n

The time for the civil ceremony arrived. Corentin eagerly awaited as Olivia descended the stairs. When he saw her, their eyes lit up, and they exchanged a tender kiss. My two lovebirds were now ready to unite before the Mayor.<\/p>\n

We walked to the town hall in Barsac, as the rain began to fall gently.[\/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:1738243201460-bac2679d-3c46-4″ include=”14350,14352,14353,14354,14355,14356,14357,14358,14359,14360,14361,14362,14363,14364,14365,14366,14367,14368,14369,14370,14371,14372,14373,14374,14375,14376,14377,14378,14379,14380,14381,14382,14383,14384,14385″][\/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]Corentin enters the town hall on the arm of his parents, closely followed by Olivia, accompanied by her mother.

The rain, which had calmed down, returns.

Before putting on the second dress, Olivia had a surprise for her husband: she decided to cut her hair for the first time in a long while.<\/p>\n

While Corentin and the guests enjoyed the return of the sun to set up the benches under the trees, Olivia discovered her new look, which was beautifully enhanced by this transformation that suited her perfectly! I took the opportunity to capture a few portraits of her, showcasing her fresh appearance.<\/p>\n

Olivia\u2019s mother and sisters then entered the room and saw the bride, sharing a beautiful moment of emotion.[\/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:1738243201461-1b32cde3-1a00-5″ include=”14408,14409,14410,14411,14412,14413,14414,14415,14416,14417,14418,14419,14420,14421,14422,14423,14424,14425,14426,14427,14428,14429,14430,14431,14432,14433,14434,14435″][\/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]With the arch and benches now in place, Corentin waits at the end of the aisle, his heart full of emotion.

Corentin\u2019s eyes light up, filled with emotion, as Olivia signals him to turn around. When he sees his wife in her new dress and fresh look, the surprise is complete!<\/p>\n

The speeches and anecdotes from friends follow, bringing laughter and a few tears of joy from the guests. A friend of the couple then brings the rings, and Olivia and Corentin exchange vows and rings under the tender gaze of their loved ones.<\/p>\n

Corentin takes over, and the newlyweds open the dance floor under the watchful eyes of their guests. Before long, everyone joins them to dance and celebrate the day well into the night.<\/p>\n
