This spring, I had the privilege of photographing Grace and Charlie, a lovely couple from New York who decided to spend some time in the Loire Valley. Charlie proposed to Grace at the Hôtel Les Sources de Cheverny. Following a delightful picnic, we explored the château and its inspiring locations for a photoshoot. The historic interiors and wooden architecture provided the perfect backdrop for capturing the memories of this special day.
