Chateau Soulac Wedding — DESTINATION WEDDING FILMS & PHOTOGRAPHY

Scotland meets France, falls in love, has a wedding.

The story of Kara (Scotland) and Xavier (France) at Chateau Soulac, one of my favourite venues in South-West France.

Planned by Louise Ham Weddings, this one took place just a few weeks back on a gorgeous sunny (you’d hope in SW France but not always a given) weekend at the end of July.

It was only 2 years late due to you know what, but we got there in the end and I think it was worth the wait?!

Outdoors. That’s what weddings in SW France are about. Unless forced indoors by the weather, I’ve never really understood why some choose to cram as much as possible into small badly lit boxes, but not so with K&X as it was all planned to take place outdoors. (Prep & dancing aside which is fair enough).

This wedding was a real family affair on both sides, especially with Xavier’s father getting into the Scottish side of things having secretly learned the bagpipes (he was surprisingly good!) and leading the ceilidh.

So it was a day of indoor prep followed by outdoor ceremony conducted in both English & French by a family friend followed by drinks and extensive canapes on the terrace with one of the best views over the River Dordogne.

Dinner and speeches (and bagpipe playing) took place on the lawn before dancing in the barn sandwiched with the most amazing sunset and golden hour that Soulac is well know for.

Beautiful day, beautiful people.
