Some weddings have a little bit of everything: an incredible setting, effortlessly cool fashion, a ceremony surrounded by beautiful scenery and a party that just keeps getting better.
This wedding at Château Saint Georges in Grasse was exactly that.
With over 100 guests travelling to the French Riviera to celebrate with a London-based couple, the day felt like the perfect combination of style, personality and a seriously good time. Planned by Be My Love, the celebrations began with a beautiful welcome party before moving into an unforgettable wedding day filled with thoughtful details, incredible outfits and a dance floor that stayed busy well into the night.
A Welcome Party at Château Saint Georges
The celebrations began the day before the wedding with a welcome party at Château Saint Georges. It was a beautiful way to bring everyone together before the main event, giving friends and family time to settle into the setting and enjoy the start of the celebrations.
There is something special about a wedding that becomes more than just one day. With guests travelling from London and beyond, having that extra time together made the whole celebration feel even more personal.
An Outdoor Ceremony on the French Riviera
Set against the beautiful surroundings of Château Saint Georges in Grasse, the outdoor ceremony was one of the highlights of the day.
With more than 100 guests gathered to watch the couple say their vows, there was a wonderful atmosphere as everyone came together to celebrate. The setting provided a beautiful backdrop, while the focus remained firmly on the couple and the people who had travelled to be there with them.
As a French Riviera wedding photographer, these are the moments I love capturing most: the big picture, the little interactions happening around it, and all the in-between moments that make a wedding feel like your wedding.
Effortless Style and that Wedding Dress
The fashion at this wedding deserves a moment of its own.
The bride wore a stunning dress by Sept New York, bringing a modern, fashion-forward feel to the day. Every part of the celebration had that same cool, considered aesthetic, without ever feeling like style was getting in the way of having fun.
From the wedding-day looks to the guests' outfits, there was so much to photograph. I loved the combination of beautiful styling and a relaxed atmosphere, where everyone looked incredible but was still completely there to enjoy the celebration.
For couples planning a destination wedding in the South of France, this is such a lovely balance to aim for: a setting that feels special, personal style that reflects who you are, and a day that leaves plenty of room for the unexpected.
A Party That Kept Getting Better
And then came the party.
With over 100 guests ready to celebrate, the evening had exactly the energy you would hope for. The dance floor filled up, the atmosphere got louder, and the formalities gave way to a much more relaxed kind of celebration.
One of my favourite details? The bridesmaids cutting their dresses short to get ready for the dance floor. It was such a fun moment and set the tone for the rest of the night.
Everyone danced well into the evening, and the whole celebration had that brilliant feeling of a wedding where nobody is watching the clock.
These are the moments I love photographing: the spontaneous ones, the slightly chaotic ones, and the ones that become stories everyone remembers long after the wedding is over.
Planning a Château Wedding in Grasse
Château Saint Georges is a beautiful setting for a destination wedding on the French Riviera, particularly for couples who want to bring their friends and family together for more than just a ceremony and reception.
With its outdoor ceremony setting and space to create a multi-day celebration, it provided a wonderful backdrop for this stylish London couple's wedding.
The celebrations were planned by Be My Love, whose work brought everything together while allowing the couple's personality to shine through.
For me, the best weddings are the ones where everything looks incredible, but the experience itself comes first. Where the couple can enjoy their day, their guests feel part of something special, and the photographs tell the story of what it actually felt like to be there.
This wedding at Château Saint Georges had all of that.
