Château du Val, a beautiful setting in Brittany for an intimate destination wedding in France.

The celebrations began the evening before with a welcome dinner, giving Meghan and Justin the chance to gather everyone they love and enjoy the first moments of the weekend together. Their guests had travelled from different parts of the world to join them in Brittany, with the couple themselves coming from New York.
This is one of the things I love most about destination weddings: they turn a wedding into an entire experience. A few days to travel, discover a new place, share meals and spend meaningful time with the people who matter most.

The following morning, we started getting ready inside Château du Val. I spent some time moving through the rooms, photographing the atmosphere, the details and those quiet moments of anticipation before the ceremony began.
Meghan and Justin chose to see each other for the first time during the ceremony, making their first look all the more emotional. Their intimate ceremony was short and deeply personal, with Meghan’s mother officiating.

After the ceremony, everyone moved in front of the castle for a long, relaxed cocktail hour. The weather was beautiful, and a playlist filled with the Pride & Prejudice soundtrack made the whole afternoon feel so cinematic. We took a few family and group photographs before stepping away for a short couple session in the soft evening light.

As evening settled in, everyone gathered inside Château du Val for dinner, heartfelt speeches and a night of celebration.

Dinner was filled with speeches, laughter and plenty of emotion, ending on a very French note with a traditional croquembouche. Later, the celebration moved into one of the château’s outbuildings, where Meghan and Justin opened the dance floor with their first dance. From there, the evening quickly turned into a joyful, energetic party, with everyone dancing late into the night. The perfect ending to a beautiful destination wedding weekend in Brittany.
