Preparing for Your Special Day at the Château
The morning of your wedding is an exciting and emotional time, and Château de la Valouze provides plenty of beautiful spaces for getting ready. When I photographed Rebecca and Jack’s here in July, Rebecca got ready in one of the upstairs suites. The room’s elegant décor and large windows filled with natural light created the perfect setting for her portraits.
Having so many rooms available means you can enjoy the morning with your bridal party, while your partner and their party prepare in a separate space. It keeps things relaxed and stress-free as you get ready to say “I do.”
Picture-Perfect Ceremony and Reception Spaces
One of the highlights of Château de la Valouze is its flexibility for hosting both your ceremony and reception. The estate offers endless possibilities to create a celebration that feels uniquely yours. Rebecca and Jack chose to have their wedding tables set up at the front of the château. The elegant white and gold décor paired beautifully with the grandeur of the building, creating a timeless look that was stunning in photos.
For couples who prefer a garden setting, the estate’s parkland is ideal. Imagine exchanging vows under a canopy of trees or hosting a romantic dinner surrounded by the château’s beautiful gardens.
Stunning Backdrops for Wedding Photos
As a photographer, I can’t recommend Château de la Valouze enough. The venue is a dream for capturing stunning wedding photos. From the grand exterior of the château to the peaceful parkland and elegant interiors, every corner offers a perfect photo opportunity. For Rebecca and Jack, we planned their couple’s portraits during golden hour. The soft, golden light created a romantic atmosphere, and the château served as the perfect backdrop. Whether you prefer outdoor shots in the gardens or intimate moments inside the château, this venue has it all.
