Dordogne Valley, France | Chateau De LaCoste
It’s hard to look back at these images without feeling a little emotional. Since their wedding weekend, Chanel and Graham have become dear friends. From the moment I arrived—welcomed into a quaint room in the gatehouse of a beautiful French château—I felt less like a vendor and more like a guest, folded into the rhythm of the weekend.
The Dordogne Valley carries a quiet peace and a lush, effortless beauty that I feel lucky to have experienced. Chanel and Graham brought together their closest friends and family from the UK, South Africa, and Australia, gathering everyone in this magical place. The weekend unfolded in laughter and long embraces, over glasses of wine and unhurried conversations—cricket matches, dancing, and the kind of joy that spills freely onto the dance floor. Beneath it all was a deep well of love and emotion that touched everyone present.
I left feeling profoundly grateful—not just for the experience, but for them and the community they’ve built. It was a weekend rooted in connection, in celebrating and holding your people close.
