Rachelle and Christopher chose Chateau De Jalesnes in Loire Valley, France as their venue for their September wedding. With its stunning scenery and amazing architecture, it made for the most incredible backdrop, one that didn’t really need too much by the way of extra décor. Choosing a neutral colour palette of black and white kept things simple and elegant.

Their emotional ceremony was held outside, on the lawn in front of the chateau. Rachelle wore a sleek dress by Blush and Ivory Bridal and carried a simple bouquet of white roses. Arriving in a horse drawn carriage, she was met at the bottom of the aisle by her emotional husband-to-be, who wore a white tuxedo jacket.

After the ceremony and photos, guests were treated to an extravagant dinner served outside on long tables, paired with champagne a-plenty. They then had a firework display and danced with their loved ones into the early hours.

Fire and Ice Photography, from the UK, travelled with them to France to capture the day, and from these photos and their incredible video (seriously, you need to watch it!), it looks like everyone truly had the best day ever!
