A dream luxury château wedding in France

An intimate and elegant celebration filled with emotion, timeless memories, and the charm of a French château.

Ashley & Tim’s Luxury Wedding at Château de Charnizay, France

When Ashley and Tim imagined their wedding day, they dreamt of an elegant and emotional celebration in a historic French château, surrounded by their loved ones. Coming from the United States and the UK, they chose France for their destination wedding, embracing its timeless beauty, rich history, and unparalleled romantic charm.

Their venue? Château de Charnizay, a stunning estate in the heart of the French countryside, where every corner tells a story. The perfect setting for a luxury wedding experience, infused with editorial elegance and documentary storytelling.

As a documentary and editorial wedding photographer, I had the honour of capturing their love story alongside Joy Zamora, while also creating their wedding film, a moving tribute to the emotions, connections, and beauty of the day.

A Château Wedding in France: The Ultimate Luxury Experience

There’s something undeniably magical about getting married in a French château. The grandeur of the architecture, the endless gardens, and the romantic ambiance create an unforgettable experience—not just for the couple, but for every guest in attendance.

From the delicate floral arrangements by Atelier Les Herbes Hautes to the refined table settings and rentals from Options Orléans & Events 37, every detail reflected sophistication and timeless beauty.

For couples dreaming of a luxury wedding in France, choosing a château means embracing history, exclusivity, and a setting straight out of a fairy tale.
