Château des Requêtes, an elegant wedding venue in Normandy for intimate celebrations.

The day began with the couple getting ready separately, surrounded by their closest friends and family, while guests slowly started to arrive. Then the ceremony took place in front of the château. It created the perfect setting for a celebration that felt joyful, emotional and intimate.

After a musical ceremony exit and a few group photographs, everyone made their way to the courtyard for cocktail hour. Alix and Rayan wanted to take their time with their couple portraits. So we wandered between the gardens, the château and its beautiful interiors. A long cocktail hour also gave them plenty of time to be fully present with their guests, finally enjoying the atmosphere and raising a glass with everyone.

As guests took their seats, Alix and Rayan made their entrance into the reception to an incredible atmosphere.

Dinner was filled with speeches, laughter and spontaneous moments of guests getting up to dance and celebrate the couple. The meal ended with dessert and a champagne tower. Then Alix surprised everyone by changing into a short fringed dress. The evening continued with their first dance, a tender choreographed moment that everyone loved, before the dance floor completely came to life. The kind of celebration filled with laughter and memories you know will be talked about for years.

With a long ceremony, a relaxed 45-minute portrait session and an extended cocktail hour, the timeline gave Alix and Rayan space to slow down, take breaks and truly experience their wedding day. Surrounded by a minimalist, timeless and floral setting, the entire celebration felt warm, intimate and effortlessly beautiful.
