The Château de la Bourdaisière, near Tours, offered a meaningful backdrop for this couple’s late-summer wedding. Though they now live in Switzerland, they once called this region home, making their return to Touraine for their wedding an especially personal choice. With the warmth of an August day, the château’s gardens and timeless charm created an inviting setting for a heartfelt celebration.


Through each image, I sought to capture not only the joyful atmosphere but also the unique character of the Château de la Bourdaisière. This exceptional estate brought its own sense of grace to every moment, allowing their special connection to the region to truly shine through.
