Chateau du Raysse Wedding — DESTINATION WEDDING FILMS & PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi Simon,

Steve and I have just had a moment to sit down and actually breathe after all the events from the weekend. We both wanted to say a ginormous thank you to yourself for all your hard work and great help this weekend. We couldn't have picked anyone better to document Saturday and Sunday for us - it was a real privilege to have had you there! Especially when it came to seating designs at the ceremony.

As you can imagine, we got emotional all over again watching the video and looking through these photos!!!

Thank you SO much!! They are absolutely beautiful and you captured the very essence of the weekend perfectly - we absolutely love them! And there’s more to come! We can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done.

So sorry that we couldn't get back to you earlier - neither of us had signal until this evening. And then we spent the entire evening watching, reminiscing and watching all over again! Really appreciate you getting it to us for today, thank you so much again! Enjoy the weekend and we'll speak again soon ☺️

Speak soon,

Chandler & Steve

3rd visit to Chateau du Raysse in the Dordogne, one of my favourite regions in France and another Spring wedding. Only this time, the weather was a bit better than my previous visit and was more like a Summer’s day.

Chandler & Steve’s wedding took place over the Easter wedding and with a few children, took on an Easter flavoured theme, at least in the morning of the wedding day which included a visit from someone special. Keep an eye out for him in the film (above) and highlight pics (below).

This, like my last wedding, was another very hands on DIY wedding with me being pretty much the only on the day supplier other than the hog roast caterer. The evening before was an Indian food themed (kind of) event prepped by various family members and the day of the wedding was not much different with many friends & family being hands on.

The wedding day itself ran as follows…

Easter mask making and egg hunt for the children.

B&G prep followed by a ‘first look’.

Ceremony conducted by family member Simone

Drinks reception with music by friend and singer songwriter Cooper (the second track in the film above is Copper and his girlfriend singing live mid-reception).

Hog roast buffet and speeches.

Dancing including a choreographed father & daughter dance.

The couple then set off on an epic 3+ month extended honeymoon and new (van) life.

Great wedding elevated to fantastic by the people involved, - Chandler & Steve, plus all their friends & family.
