The chapel at Chateau de Queille

What a dream this wedding was to photograph, Candice and Max’s simple, stylish wedding at Chateau de Queille in the South of France.

It’s such a stunning venue, Chateau de Queille is just south of Carcassonne in Provence. It’s the perfect destination for a beautiful and stylish wedding.

One of the lovely things about this chateau is that everyone can get ready in the same space and yet never meet. Max got ready downstairs in the lounge, while Candice got ready with her girls upstairs. This is great for me as it means I can capture both parties during their getting ready fun.

Candice looked a true beauty before her hair and make up were done – but she looked effortlessly stunning after Annette from an English Hairdresser in France had finished.

One of the overwhelming delights of the chateau (there are many) was the chapel where their humanist ceremony took place. Conducted by the lovely Sandie from English Celebrant in France, she guided them through their beautiful vows with grace and humour.

Chateau de Queille nestles in a little valley, and the chateau sits on the side of a hill and the gardens and pathways slope gently down to the meadow where Candice and Max had their wedding breakfast and speeches. This is always one of my favourites parts of the day, everyone is relaxed and ready for some reminiscing, tender moments and belly laughs – the speeches didn’t disappoint.

Pool time!

Once dinner was over, the guests returned to the main chateau area near the swimming pool! Did I mention it was HOT. And HUMID. You can only guess what happened next! Nearly everyone got in the pool at one time or another. The best men and groom even jumped in IN THEIRS SUITS at one point during the night!

It was such an incredible day and I’m already dreaming of going back. Chateau de Queille wedding photography is about more than just documenting the day; it’s about creating a visual narrative that tells the couple’s love story. The photos should reflect the romance, joy, and authenticity of the event, allowing the newlyweds to relive those special moments for years to come.
