A few weeks after my first WedVibes editorial in California, I was scheduled to set off to Paris for a handful of sessions in the City of Love. About a week before my departure, I saw that WedVibes had an opening for one more photographer at their French castle wedding editorial on April 8th! Though that was my original travel date, I was able to tweak my travel plans, snag the last photographer spot, and make it to yet another WedVibes shoot… this time with the Europe team. And shortly after, to my surprise, I found out that Alina would be joining us in France as well! Quelle émotion!

A Fairytale French Castle Wedding

This dreamy editorial took place at one of the most enchanting wedding venues in the Loire Valley: Chateau Challain. Picture a storybook castle wedding in the French countryside, complete with ideal spring weather, vintage charm, overflowing florals, and high fashion detail. Industry pros from across Europe came together to create something truly special. Our Newlyweds Sandro and Vita brought all the magic, and the wedding party was a blast to hang with all day. Photographers: I highly recommend working with any of these model couples if you’re looking to expand your portfolio in Europe!

The ceremony, led by the lovely Jennifer Patrice, took place in the castle’s front lawn underneath the April sunshine. Cascading florals and pearls added a softness to the regal stone backdrop. We also had the opportunity to work with a videographer at this shoot – shout out to Justin of Justin Geery Films! Justin does incredible work and was a pleasure to shoot with – if you’re looking for a destination wedding videographer, definitely check him out!

After the ceremony, we had a chance to take photos with the Newlyweds and wedding party throughout the castle. Highlights include a midday ice cream treat, romantic boat ride, golden hour reception, and champagne pop to wrap the shoot. Perhaps most noteworthy is that five-tier beauty covered in buttercream by Belgian cake artist Karolien Beyens… and yes, it tasted just as delicious as it looked!

Another Editorial with WedVibes

Working with WedVibes, this time alongside their European production team, was yet again an inclusive, supportive, and positive experience. I feel fortunate to have access to such a fulfilling creative outlet, while continuing to improve my craft and expand my network throughout the world. I’m certain this will not be my last editorial shoot with WedVibes, and could not be more excited for what’s to come!

In the meantime, if you’re planning a dreamy French castle wedding and in need of a photographer: I’m your girl 🙂
