This wedding is straight out of a romantic fairytale, from the breathtaking chateau and its grounds to the spectacular fireworks display at the end. Keeping things elegant with a classic colour theme, the bride was the picture perfect princess with her full-skirted ball gown dress, and to top it all off, you can tell the newlyweds are so deeply in love! Many thanks to Ben Yew Photography for capturing such a beautiful wedding.
Jumana: “My favourite moment was definitely the first look. The moment we saw each other before we got married was so emotional. As for the wedding theme, when we were planning it, I just wanted it to be classic and elegant, so I chose a white, green and gold colour scheme.”
Ben of Ben Yew Photography: “As a destination wedding photographer, I’ve captured some spectacular weddings. But this was different, something I’d never experienced before. It was a unique combination of different elements and culture. This amazing chateau is situated right in the tiny town of Le Grand Luce, and I mean literally. It somehow feels like the town is built around this chateau; it may be quite hard to find this place at first because of the high walls surrounding it, but once you enter the main gate, suddenly you will see this gigantic structure right in front of you and it is spectacular. That is why this venue is amazing for weddings.”
Tips from the bride: “I wanted to look back at our pictures 20 years from now and still love this day and not regret anything. My advice for all brides is to not overthink it. It’s just one day and it’s the most important but don’t overdo it and don’t be too picky.”
