A Romantic Château Wedding in the South of France
Kelly & Dave
Kelly and Dave’s celebration at Château du Puits es Pratz is a beautiful example of an intimate destination wedding in the South of France. For couples dreaming of a romantic château celebration surrounded by vineyards, historic architecture, and incredible French cuisine, this region offers an unforgettable setting. As a France destination wedding videographer, I focus on capturing authentic moments and the atmosphere of each celebration — from emotional first looks to sunset portraits in the vineyards and lively evenings under the stars.
Their Story
Kelly and Dave traveled to the South of France to celebrate their love in the most beautiful way: surrounded by their closest friends and family at the charming Château du Puits es Pratz. With only 40 guests, their destination wedding felt deeply personal — the kind of celebration where every moment is shared, every laugh echoes through the courtyard, and every guest feels part of the story.
The day began with a romantic first look, a quiet moment where Kelly and Dave saw each other for the first time before the ceremony. Hidden within the peaceful gardens of the château, it was one of those rare moments where time seems to slow down — filled with excitement, emotion, and the anticipation of the celebration to come.
After the ceremony, guests gathered by the fountain in the château gardens for cocktail hour accompanied by live music, before moving to the courtyard for an elegant outdoor dinner. Surrounded by historic stone walls and soft evening lights, everyone enjoyed exquisite French cuisine and fine wine prepared by the château’s in-house kitchen.
As the sun began to set, Kelly and Dave slipped away for a romantic couple session among the nearby vineyards and along the iconic tree-lined roads of the South of France. These golden sunset moments brought a cinematic, timeless feeling to their wedding film — the perfect contrast to the lively celebration waiting back at the château.
Their ceremony took place in the afternoon, under the warm southern light of September. One of the most unforgettable moments came when their beloved dog made a special appearance, proudly bringing the rings down the aisle while being held by the flower girl — a moment that had every guest smiling.
The evening continued with a magical first dance under the stars in the courtyard, surrounded by their guests. With live music, a DJ, and sparkling lights illuminating the cake cutting, the celebration turned into a joyful night filled with dancing, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
