Castelnau des Fieumarcon Photography
CASTELNAU DES FIEUMARCON PHOTOGRAPHY
1 hilltop village for rent. 16 houses. 1 full-time inhabitant. That is the ancient village of Lagarde known for weddings as Chateau des Fieumarcon situated in the heart of the Gers region of Gascony in South West France.
1 full-time human inhabitant that is, - Layla an adorable 3 year old Border Collie also lives with resident custodian & manager Didier.But that's it, - just the two of them unless there is a wedding or another event on.
Castelnau des Fieumarcon is believed to be the only entire 'village for hire' in France and is an absolutely stunning venue for a wedding with it's hilltop location over-looking the rolling Gascon countryside (which if you do not know the area, think 'French Tuscany'!).
Close by are the towns of Lectoure & Condom with the cities (and major airports) of Bordeaux and Toulouse within 1.5 hours driving time and on a recent visit, I produced a gallery of landscape photography that captures some of the area. Click this link to view those pictures.
I recently had the privilege of spending a few hours scouting the location/village ahead of future weddings there, in the company of Didier & Layla and as a location for a rural wedding setting in South West France, it really is second to none.

Chateau de Lisse Wedding Photography
CHATEAU DE LISSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Chateau de Lisse is an absolutely stunning wedding venue in the Lot-et-Garonne region of Gascony in the SW corner of France, approximately 1.5 hours from both Bordeaux and Toulouse.
Set in 550 hectares the chateau is one of the most historical and impressive castles in Gascony and available to hire for up to just 10 weddings per annum and offering a magical & fairytale setting to relax, unwind and getaway for your own private Castle wedding in France.
It was a real pleasure to take the opportunity to visit in early June to take a look around the building & grounds and have a chat with the enthusiastic Jo Braham who has the almost dream job of managing the weddings that take place there, ahead of my first wedding, that of Australian couple Jenny & James (now available to view by clicking this link).
Simon Mark Whitten of Firehorse Photography is available for weddings throughout France and especially interested in hearing from couples getting married in the region and at Chateau de Lisse itself. To date, we have photographed and filmed weddings in the following regions; Gascony, Dordogne, Loire, Provence and Côte d'Azur.

La Romieu Wedding Photography
LA ROMIEU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
[ut_one_half]
We are quite fortunate to have had a base in France for the last 13 years, situated in the square of the beautiful Gascon village of La Romieu in the Gers region, close to the market town of Condom. You won't find a closer full-time professional wedding photographer than us!
La Romieu is dominated by the Collégiale St. Pierre which is on the GR 65 long-distance walking route of the Grande Randonnée network.The French name for this GR route is the Chemin de St-Jacques and the Spanish name is the Camino de Santiago, because the GR 65 is an important variant route of the old Christian pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
Weddings can and do take place at both the Collégiale and the mairie and are virtually next door to each other in the village square and right outside our front door!
