Wedding in Mougins and Grasse on the French Cote d'Azure

The ideal rustic countryside wedding in the South of France

Beautiful light and ideal photography conditions in the South of France

This traditional French wedding featured an amazing French country house - Domaine de Tabourg - and a religious ceremony in the beautiful village of Mougins at Saint Jacques le Majeur church. This wedding had what the French call a 'champetre' theme, which translates as a wedding with a rustic, country-side vibe, which can be seen in the colour scheme and the amazing table decoration, which can be seen in this gallery.

The light for the wedding preparation shots at the domaine was sublime, with beautiful light pouring into the country house's windows and a room full of good vibes as the bridal party popped champaign and listened to a wedding day playlist as they got ready. The couple had a religious wedding ceremony in the beautiful village of Mougins, followed by a romantic couple shoot in the Mougins' stunning medieval village streets.

Wedding photography in Mougins

After Mougins the wedding returned to the Domaine de Tabourg where there was a sunset couple shoot to take advantage of the beautiful light and countryside of the French riviera. The meal took place under a beautiful lime tree on tables adorned with beautiful decor of dried flowers, candles, and home-made decorations. This table set-up in evening light made for some beautiful images with complimentary browns, oranges, and pink combining perfectly. As night fell, hanging fairy lights that were draped in the lime tree were turned on and lent some warm, soft light to boost the candle-light.

A the couple's request this beautiful image was taken using an aisle of sparklers and led to a great image sequence of beautifully-lit imagery. Recreating this sparkler tunnel is an amazing, easy addition to the wedding photography album and was simple but great fun to set up.
