Elodie & Maxime
Marriage is a sacred event that unites two souls, sealing their love before God and their loved ones. Élodie and Maxime, religiously united in Issoire abbey church at Auvergnebefore continuing their celebration at the Gondole castlelocated in the charming village of Ashsouth of Clermont-Ferrand capital of Puy-de-Dôme. The civil ceremony took place in 2021 at theIssoire which I had the pleasure of photographing.
But that's not where I met them. I had the pleasure of photograph in October 2018 for a pregnancy session at the foot of the Puy-de-Dôme.
And ever since, I've been following them as their lives have evolved from family. They're more than just customers, they've become friends whom I appreciate enormously. And it's all the more pleasing to have been their wedding photographer at Château de Gondole, Auvergne.
The day began at Elodie's parents' home, close to the town center ofIssoire. All the bridal preparations took place, starting with hair and make-up.
Elodie, accompanied by her cousins and friends, celebrated the fabulous day in front of the pool. Champagne flowed freely.
Then, in the early afternoon, she put on her wedding dressmade-to-measure by Oreline à Issoire. Elodie's mom was present for this very important moment.
Between the make-up of Elodie and her trimI took a little tour of their premises in Issoire for photograph the preparations of Maxime. He was accompanied by a friend and their son. With Marion Vermerie on video, we documented these intimate moments.
An unforgettable religious ceremony in Issoire's 12th-century abbey church was the perfect setting for Elodie and Maxime's wedding. A true historic monument of Puy-de-Dôme. A landmark religious building in Auvergne.
With its imposing architecture and colorful stained glass windows, the church has created an atmosphere of contemplation and solemnity.
The guests, dressed in their finest, watched with emotion as the two lovers exchanged their vows. Elodie, resplendent in her wedding dress, walked gracefully down the aisle on her father's arm.
After the ceremonyguests made their way to the Gondole castlea magnificent estate nestled in a green setting on the Ash.
The owners have only opened the château to weddings only 2 years ago. This château of the 19th century was chosen for its picturesque beauty and romantic ambience, with a pretty little forest adjoining. The well-kept gardens and majestic facades created an idyllic setting for this special day. The guests greeted the bride and groom as they arrived on a sidecar that was a little tired, but it didn't matter - it was still original and brilliant.
Mom had prepared 120 poppies along the path to the castle. What a superb idea! It was just magnificent, enhanced by the setting sun.
Children's happiness was a priority for Elodie and Maxime. So they created a special area for the youngest guests, including a colorful candy bar, games with duck fishing, a basketball game and inflatables. Children marveled at the sweet treats on offer, while the inflatables kept them busy and enchanted throughout the evening.
The laughter and smiles of the youngsters added a touch of joy and carefreeness to an already magical day.
The evening continued with some speech and rich in emotion. The beautifully decorated Gondole castle lent itself perfectly to the warm atmosphere of this wedding.
After having laughed and cried so much after watching the little ones slideshowsthe bride and groom launched the first dance. In a romantic ambience of smoke and subdued lighting, the two lovers put on a tender show.
Weddings in IssoireÉlodie and Maxime will be forever etched in the memories of all those lucky enough to attend.
This celebration perfectly blended religious tradition with Max's passion for two wheels. Visit Gondole castle provided an enchanting backdrop for the day, while the candy bar and inflatables brought a touch of childlike joy.
Love, sharing and happiness were the watchwords of this exceptional day, which united two souls and celebrated their radiant future together.
Visit evening meal was prepared by the caterer Montrognon. It was a real delight.
The role of the wedding photographer is to capture moments of joy and emotion on the spot throughout the day.
Believe me, there was plenty to do on this beautiful day. Here are the photos.
