Wedding photography from Le Foulon, Gréolières 06620

Le Foulon, a wedding venue in the South of France

This June's wedding took place at Le Foulon, a beautiful, large country house with 13 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. It's located about a 30-45 minute drive from Nice airport, in the French commune of Gréolières.

Although near to Nice and the Côte d'Azur, Le Foulon is flanked by the spectacular mountainous countryside of the Alps, and when you're there you really do feel like you're isolated in the beautiful French countryside. For this English wedding, most of the guests came from Kent in the UK, while the bride and groom, who live in France, had no trouble finding excellent local suppliers for flowers, hair and make-up for the guests.

AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR WEDDING PHOTOS

The outdoor space at Le Foulon is perfect for a wedding ceremony, as it is partially shaded by trees and positioned so that the sun is not in the way. For the evening shoot, we used a nearby field to take advantage of the sun's directional light before it dipped below the towering cliffs of the Alps that line the site in the distance.

Sunset French Riviera Proposal - with a Rainbow

21 March 2025

I just had to share these photos of a surprise proposal on Cap Ferrat on a day when, literally until the last minute, it was raining heavily. As the couple made their way down the winding path with their umbrella up, my camera bag sealed shut inside a waterproof bag, it was a bizarre situation to find myself in; photographing a proposal in such awful conditions. The couple had travelled half way around this world to be here, I'd been in communication with the client for months, and it was all leading up to this moment: it was their last night here and rain or shine it was now or never to pop the question. Then something amazing happened; both rain and shine at once. The sun was so low in the sky it suddenly shot through underneath the clouds and hit the grey landscape - lighting it perfectly. Despite being dragged out in such awful conditions, the proposal itself was a complete surprise and led to some amazing imagery. And then yes, during a photoshoot about 10 minutes later a rainbow appeared and the complete reversal of fortunes was complete. I was so excited for them and full of admiration on his insistence that it WAS going to happen, come what May - and what a reward; I'll probably never see anything like it again.

Nestled in the Warwickshire countryside, Ettington Park is one of the finest country-house wedding venues in the country. It's a genuine architectural marvel built in the Neo Gothic style which flourished in Victorian England. Built between 1858 and 1862 it now serves as a hotel and luxury wedding venue.
