The Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés in Provence : a joyful and simple wedding
As a wedding photographer at the Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés in Provence, I had the privilege of capturing the beautiful wedding of M. and A., two passionate winemakers. Set in the timeless and sunlit scenery of this historic venue, in the heart of Provence, their day reflected everything they love: authenticity, laughter, and a relaxed festive spirit.
They wanted a celebration that felt natural , just the beauty of the moment and the joy of being surrounded by their loved ones. Photographing this luminous day in such an inspiring place was a real pleasure. From the emotional first look to the ceremony in the chapel, the dinner in the cloister, and the first dance, every moment was filled with warmth and emotion.
A charming venue and a festive atmosphere in Provence
The Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés, with its golden light and ancient stone walls, is a perfect setting for an elegant yet laid-back wedding. This wedding at the Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés in Reillanne was a joyful blend of laughter, sparkling glasses, and good wine under the Provençal sun.
M. and A., both winemakers, even created a unique bottle of wine for their guests , a blend of their two estates, a beautiful metaphor for their union: two souls, two vineyards, one shared love. And to surprise everyone during the evening, M. changed into a stunning Paco Rabanne dress, a dazzling and unforgettable moment!
Capturing light, laughter, and real emotions on film
As a wedding photographer in Reillanne, I love capturing spontaneous moments, tender gestures, and natural light. This wedding was photographed using both film and digital, creating a balance between the timeless softness of film and the vibrancy of digital photography. It’s an approach I’m developing more and more, to offer my couples an artistic and emotional blend that truly tells their story.
This wedding at the Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés was a true celebration of life , simple, festive, and deeply human. A day that perfectly reflected M. and A.: full of light, tenderness, and freedom.
Thank you both for this unforgettable day in such a magical place.
