A Destination Wedding at Château de Castel Novel, in Corrèze

Real Weddings

"Destination wedding photographer" describes a wedding photographer who travels. Beyond Bordeaux, my couples often ask me to photograph their wedding wherever they have chosen to celebrate it. Being available, and excited at the thought of discovering new places, is exactly why I chose to become a destination wedding photographer.

Château de Castel Novel, in Corrèze, is a wedding venue I work with as a partner. Its team happily recommends me to couples planning their wedding there: we built a bond of mutual trust and appreciation from our very first meeting, and we always love working together whenever a new wedding project comes to life.

This château for luxury weddings is simply incredible! Come with me to the meeting point of the Limousin, the Périgord and the Quercy, to discover this vast four-star estate.

A Luxury Wedding in Corrèze

My couple wanted to marry in Corrèze, and they chose me to share the most beautiful day of their lives. It was a real honour to be recommended by the owners of Château de Castel Novel, and I was delighted to travel to such an exceptional, elegant venue.

So I joined the bride and groom and their families in Corrèze. They gave me a very warm welcome when I arrived, and I immediately felt at ease and ready to get to work.

The religious ceremony then took place in the abbey church of Saint-Sour in Terrasson-Lavilledieu, on the heights of the beautiful town of Terrasson. I made the most of the height and the panorama to take the group photo on the steps leading up to the church, lined with its formal French gardens. The wedding then carried on at the château, in a setting of elegance and refinement.

Once we arrived at Château de Castel Novel, we left the guests chatting over the drinks reception and took a few couple photos. The château’s magnificent wooded park and its outdoor terrace, with the couple’s wedding Rolls-Royce as a backdrop, painted a picture worthy of a royal wedding.

The bride wore a gown by the designer Milla Nova, fitted at the waist, with a bodice of lace and delicate tulle that highlighted her femininity.
