Dieter & Camille

Stone manor wedding · near Bordeaux, France

Camille and Dieter married on the lawn of a honey-coloured stone manor near Bordeaux, with a square dovecote tower and rolling farmland and vineyards all around. Under old trees, family and friends gave readings, the couple read their vows from cards, and the rings arrived on a little ride-on toy decorated with flowers.

Right after the ceremony they poured a champagne tower; a brass band with a sousaphone and banjo played the cocktail hour, and when a summer shower came through, clear bubble umbrellas came out. Bright satin dresses against white hydrangeas and gypsophila, dinner in a stone barn under string lights, and a lot of laughter from start to finish.
