A Fairytale Autumn Wedding at Château Mas de Montet
Ellie & Elliot
Ellie and Elliot travelled from the United Kingdom to gather more than one hundred of their favourite people in the French countryside for a wedding that blended elegance, emotion and celebration on a grand scale.
From a historic underground church ceremony to a breathtaking château reception in Dordogne, their day unfolded like a modern fairytale — refined, cinematic and deeply personal.

Their film blends aerial grandeur, heartfelt speeches and dynamic dance floor energy, creating a timeless memory designed to be relived for decades.
Their Story
Some love stories begin with a grand gesture.
Theirs began with two dogs.
Living just a few doors from each other, Ellie and Elliot kept crossing paths while walking their dogs (from the same breed no less). One day, Elliot’s dog escaped and ran straight to Ellie’s home. She returned the runaway by knocking on Elliot's door — and unknowingly walked into the beginning of their future.
Same street, same cars, almost the same names.
From neighbours to soulmates.
Ellie brings the sparkle, warmth and vibrant energy. Elliot, calm and composed, is the steady heart beside her — until the evening of the wedding, when he surprised everyone by tearing up during his speech, overwhelmed with love and gratitude.
The Wedding
Their wedding day was a journey across some of the most beautiful locations in southwest France.
Preparations began at Manoir de Longeveau, surrounded by close friends and anticipation. Guests were then transported to a remarkable underground church, an atmospheric and intimate setting that made the ceremony feel timeless and sacred.
The celebration continued at Château Mas de Montet, a true princess estate with romantic façades, grand balconies and sweeping views. Autumn colors painted the gardens in warm tones while a bold dress code brought visual drama: bridesmaids and groomsmen wearing black, while guests wore vibrant shades.
Throughout the film, vows and speeches weave the narrative together, supported by powerful, emotional music that carries viewers from tenderness to pure party energy. Once the dance floor opened, the DJ delivered an atmosphere no one wanted to leave.
Filmed in a cinematic, story-driven approach, their wedding film balances intimacy with grandeur — capturing both the epic scale of a destination celebration and the smallest emotional exchanges.
Multiple venues, complex logistics, large guest counts and aerial sequences were orchestrated seamlessly to preserve the authenticity and rhythm of the day.
As the sun began to lower, Ellie and Elliot stood on the château balcony overlooking everyone they love. Below them, cheers erupted as the drone slowly revealed the entire crowd, the architecture and the scale of the celebration — one of those unforgettable cinema moments that gives goosebumps every time.
