I'm still pinching myself to think that I got the opportunity to capture this absolutely incredible wedding -
I can’t even begin to thank the couple and all of their family for having me there.

Jasmine, Philipp and their loved ones headed to the South of France to celebrate at the stunning
Domaine Du Grand Lauron located about 30 minutes north of Aix-en-Provence.

The Friday evening was a relaxed get-together where everyone met up to enjoy a few drinks, some pizza and a lot of laughter. It was wonderful to spend time with the guests ahead of the wedding and a great way to kick off the weekend.

Before we knew it, their wedding day was happening - a real family event, with everyone pitching in to get the venue dressed and ready - it wasn’t long before Jasmine and Philipp were doing the same. Jasmine looked stunning and Philipp looked cool and calm despite the heat.

Once the final preparations were complete, Jasmine joined her husband in a beautiful lakeside ceremony with Jasmine’s uncles performing the ceremony in multiple languages! As there were a mix of French, German and English all of the important parts of the day were translated, and that became even more impressive later that day when the best man and maid of honour gave their speeches in unfamiliar languages successfully.

With a real passion for food running in the family, all of the canapés and meals were incredible and being treated more like a guest than a supplier really had it’s upside as I got to enjoy some amazing treats.

Their drinks reception was wonderful and so relaxed, but it wasn’t long before we headed off for some sunset portraits and they were perfect. As we headed inside for their evening meal the party was just beginning; dining was about far more than the food and everyone was enjoyed each other’s company so much.

As the tables were cleared, it wasn’t long before the music began and everyone was on the dance floor - Jasmine’s Grandfather stole the show dancing longer than most guests, and this party continued until well after 4am when the DJ stopped.

Once again, I can’t thank everyone enough, from the couple, both of their parents and families, their friends who were all happy to talk and really make me feel part of their celebrations too. A special thanks to my roommate Vivi, one of Jasmine’s uncles, who kept everyone in high spirits and me well looked after.

It was THE perfect wedding and the couple didn’t stop smiling all day long..
