Flavie and Guillaume’s Wonderful Wedding at Château Isabeau de Naujan
I am so happy to share this wonderful wedding at Château Isabeau de Naujan with you.
How Flavie and Guillaume met
Flavie and Guillaume met nearly two decades ago. To him, she was so gentle, so sensitive, so wonderful, and he was the first love of her life. Despite the years that have gone by, their love has stayed intact, and they finally decided to get married. Flavie took a long time before making her choices, whether of her future husband or of the suppliers who would be part of her wedding.
Getting ready for the wedding
Flavie took her time to choose her suppliers, all of them professionals, and very human too. On my advice, she called on the talented professional make-up artist Myriam Poulet. She also chose the wonderful hairdresser Marine of L’Atelier M in the Chartrons district, whom I had met at Johanna and Alexandre’s wedding six years before. She chose Confidentiel Création for her stunning wedding dress, and Marie-France of Artmania Fleur for the beautiful floral arrangements.
The wedding began at the town hall of Bègles, a pretty town hall that few people know. Then Flavie and Guillaume had their religious wedding at the church of Saint-Pierre in Bègles, with music from a superb gospel choir.
As an aside, for anyone passionate about film photography: I have the professional equipment needed to cover weddings and engagement sessions on film, always in my Fine Art style. It is available as an option, on request.
If you are interested, we can talk it through and plan your future photo session together. To get in touch, it’s this way:

The wedding at Château Isabeau de Naujan
After the religious ceremony, the couple took the road to Château Isabeau de Naujan in Saint-Vincent-de-Pertignas to celebrate their wedding with their families and friends. The evening began with a five-star cocktail hour by Traiteur Villacrèces, with a jazz band and a photo booth to keep wonderful memories. The evening then continued in the château’s lovely stone hall, where "Cool Vibes by Fred" provided the music for a festive, joyful party.
A thank-you from Flavie and Guillaume
Flavie and Guillaume were delighted with their wedding at Château Isabeau de Naujan, and thanked all their suppliers for their professionalism and kindness. They sent me their thanks in the form of a review that is still engraved in my memory. They really loved my photos, which faithfully captured this exceptional day.
They were so happy to share their love with their family and friends.
A thousand thanks, Flavie and Guillaume, for your kindness towards me.
A Top Fine Art Photographer and Artist
Where to begin to express all our gratitude to Tristan…
First of all, professionally Tristan is excellent: he is very available and caring, full of good advice before, during and after the wedding. Tristan has an artistic sense and an emotion that show in his work. These photos are simply magnificent, and he manages to convey the emotions of every moment through them. We are simply thrilled with our wedding photos, and so are all our guests. On top of that, the work he delivers is simply superb; the little film took us right back into the emotion of the wedding. Not a single false note. But beyond the photographer, another relationship grew with Tristan, one that went beyond supplier and client. Tristan is a lovely person, exceptional on a human level, and we truly appreciated him. On the wedding day everyone adored him, and I think the guests gave it right back! We do not regret our choice to trust Tristan with our wedding. Thanks to him, we have simply wonderful memories of such an important day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Tristan, we are so happy to have met you.
