A wedding in the south west of France is always special and Krystal and Christian’s wedding was no exception. Starting with a dramatic and misty morning, this day opened up into a perfect sunny autumn day.
The gardens of this Dordogne Chateau are so old and enchanting with centuries old trees smiling at the sun, so it was certainly fitting to go for a stroll with Krystal and Christian during their wedding day for some piece and quiet and a few nice shots.

Coming from Sydney Australia, Krystal and Christian could not have asked for a more fairytale perfect French wedding day and we were so honoured to be a part of it
