FRance destination wedding with Frances Mary Sales Brittany wedding photographer at Chateau du Grand Val

We’re skipping across the Channel today for a lovely, super relaxed and stylish wedding in Brittany. Our gorgeous couple Nat and Paul chose France wedding photographer Frances Mary Sales, who is originally from the UK, to capture their intimate chateau wedding. The day unfolds beautifully, with grace and so much joy and laughter. Our fabulous couple have shared lovely words and recommendations for their favourite French destination wedding suppliers below.

Frances was incredible on the day from start to finish! We wanted a really relaxed wedding in France surrounded by friends and family and Frances captured this perfectly. Our photos are incredible and we have so many to treasure of us and all our guests enjoying the day – super relaxed and natural – which is exactly what we wanted.

Our venue: a charming chateau in beautiful Brittany

The most amazing French destination wedding venue – we felt so welcomed by Roland and Marie and truly felt we were part of their home for the weekend. We wanted a smaller venue that still gave us enough space to host people for the weekend on site (we basically wanted a 3 day party with a wedding in the middle surrounded by our close friends and family) and Chateau du Grand Val was the perfect space. They could not do enough to make our weekend as special and memorable as possible.

Our wedding outfits

Dress – Elysee Bridal’s Florentina Dress in ivory from The Dressing Room (TDR) Bridal in Birmingham.

The incredible seamstresses at TDR Bridal altered my dress, removing 2 side panels to create the column skirt and creating custom large bardot style sleeves. Veil – Extra long horsehair Athena Marie veil
