Dordogne Wedding Photography at Chateau de la Bourlie, Kat & Tom
DORDOGNE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT CHATEAU DE LA BOURLIE, KAT & TOM
Kat & Tom's Dordogne Wedding Photography took place at the delightful Chateau de la Bourlie in the heart of the Perigord region of the Dordogne.
The blue skies and golden sunshine of the 15th September (and previous 6 weeks) disappeared on the 16th September, the day of Kat & Tom's wedding, but spirits were not diminished.
It did mean the previously planned outdoor ceremony had to shift into the small chapel which was a bit of a squeeze for the 80+ guests, but the rain was at least only occasional and very light.
Coverage of this wedding was 2 days as all our weddings in France tend to be (sometimes 3 days) with landscape/scene-setting photography on the morning of the 15th and then an exclusive 'get to know you' photo-shoot around the venue in the late afternoon, before discrete documentary coverage in the evening in a nearby village. We enjoy these 'pre-wedding' days almost as much as the wedding day itself as they tend to be very relaxed affairs and allow us to immerse ourselves quietly into the wedding which allows us to produce better results from the wedding day itself.
This wedding was planned by Stéphanie of www.jarretierreintheair.com and her team and they certainly put on a great event that culminated in the evening with a display of fire-dancers! If you do one thing, watch the last of the films below and you'll see what I mean!!
Photographing and filming Kat & Tom's wedding in France was a real privilege and the entire wedding party (a lot of partying Aussies as the bride and her family are Australian) were very welcoming and accommodating letting us share the 2 days that we were there.
