Wedding Photographer at Château de Fonscolombe

The setting at Château de Fonscolombe

The plane tree avenue first, a majestic green vault that creates dappled, golden light at any hour, perfect for couple portraits or group photographs. The classical château façade with its woodwork and small-paned windows. The formal gardens with their box parterres and fountains. The lavender-edged pool overlooking the countryside. And in the distance, the silhouette of Montagne Sainte-Victoire that Cézanne painted all his life.

Inside, the château's salons combine authenticity and luxury: period woodwork, oak floors, marble fireplaces, a sumptuous setting for getting ready or for a civil ceremony.

My approach at Fonscolombe

Photographing a wedding at Fonscolombe means navigating very different settings through the day. Getting ready in the bright hotel rooms. The ceremony beneath the plane tree avenue or in the gardens. Cocktail hour on the terrace facing Sainte-Victoire. Dinner in the grand salon or outdoors. And couple portraits at golden hour, when the end-of-day light dresses the façade and gardens in incomparable warmth.

My Fine Art approach honours the aesthetic of the place: carefully posed portraits, compositions that incorporate the architecture and gardens, spontaneous moments captured discreetly. No artificial light, no static groups, living images, coherent and true.

The wedding day at Fonscolombe

Getting ready in the hotel rooms. The ceremony beneath the plane trees or in the gardens. Cocktail hour on the terrace with views of Sainte-Victoire. Dinner in the château salons or outdoors. Couple portraits under the avenue and in the gardens at dusk.
