Chateau de Goudourville wedding — DESTINATION WEDDING FILMS & PHOTOGRAPHY

This was my second visit to this dramatic hilltop chateau.

A REAL fortified chateau and not a large house or collection of gites calling itself a castle.

You could fight off the English or French from this place during the 100 Years War…and they probably did.

But anyway, there wasn’t any fighting going on at Rose & Will’s wedding a couple of weeks back. At least not whilst I was there.

Once again, we had the all too often forecast for storms and potential rain and once again, it did not happen.

The wind did pick up at one point and there was even a few drops, but nothing but some blown over menus on the tables.

Which was good as this was planned as an outdoor wedding.

The weekend began with a BBQ the evening prior and some of the results from that plus a good look at the venue now follows:

THE WEDDING DAY

So the forecast was a bit mixed and an entirely outdoor wedding had been planned.

Fortunately all of it did take place outdoors except for the dancing which had to be move indoors (but shhh, was probably all the better for it as the great hall was a great setting for this part of the day, so actually a good move regardless of weather forecasts!).

But before that, of course there were preparations, a ceremony, drinks reception, meal & speeches.

The ceremony took place in the moat with the triple arched bridge as a backdrop and was conducted by friend and stuntman, Dave.

Drinks took place within the ‘internal’ 3 sided courtyard and meal on the ‘rear’ South/West facing terrace.

Dancing as above, indoors.

As always, the pics can tell a better story than I can.
