The wedding story

A ceremony beneath the pines.

Billy and Karen’s wedding at Lavandou began with burgundy flowers, thoughtful details and a chapel set among tall trees. After the ceremony, we followed them through the forest for portraits before everyone gathered under the warm lights of the reception.

01 / The ceremony

Under the trees, surrounded by their people.

The pine forest gave their vows a beautiful setting. From Karen’s walk down the aisle to the confetti on the way out, these are the moments that held everyone close.

02 / Together

The forest made room for just the two of them.

Portraits among the trees became the heart of this story: a mix of close, unguarded moments and the quiet scale of the pine forest around them.

03 / Into the evening

One last portrait, then the party.

As daylight left the forest, Billy and Karen stepped into the glow of the evening. The celebration continued with cake, dancing and a full reception floor.
