An Elegant Wedding at Villa Savhéol in Saint-Malo, France
MAUD + ADRIEN
Maud and Adrien’s elegant wedding at Villa Savhéol was one of my favorite celebrations of the 2024 summer. An intimate and romantic day on the Brittany coast, between Saint-Lunaire and Saint-Malo, surrounded by around fifty of their closest friends and family. From quiet and emotional moments during the preparations to their religious ceremony in Saint-Malo, portraits along the historic ramparts and a joyful reception overlooking the sea, the entire day felt incredibly personal and relaxed. Beautiful scenery, meaningful moments, live music, cocktails by the beach and an evening spent celebrating together made it a wedding I absolutely loved documenting.
An intimate villa overlooking the cliffs, a summer sky and the most incredible sea views.
The day started quietly at Villa Savhéol, photographing the venue and details while Maud and Adrien got ready separately. Adrien was joined by his parents as he opened a letter from Maud, before I met her at the end of her hair and makeup for a few portraits as she stepped into her dress. We finished this first part of the day with a First Look overlooking the sea. These moments are always some of my favorites to photograph: the nervous smiles, the way couples naturally reach for each other, and all those little gestures that make the photographs feel completely their own.
We then headed to Saint-Malo for their religious ceremony at the beautiful Sainte-Croix church. Surrounded by around fifty of their closest friends and family, Maud and Adrien celebrated with an intimate ceremony, followed by a joyful exit through cheers and applause.
After the ceremony, the couple wanted to wander through Saint-Malo and along the ramparts for their couple portraits.
Between the historic streets, the sea and the beach, Saint-Malo was the perfect setting for soft and romantic photographs before joining everyone for the reception. Back by the beach, the celebration began with live music, cocktails, feet in the sand and plenty of laughter. We returned to Villa Savhéol around sunset for another short portrait session in the golden evening light, before everyone gathered for a relaxed taco dinner, dancing, champagne and desserts under the night sky.
