Our Recent
reviews
From the moment they arrived at the chateau on our wedding day, it was like seeing old friends. They make you feel so comfortable, remain discreet throughout the entire day, and their attention to detail is second to none. They captured our day perfectly. Every time we watch our video, it takes us right back to our special day.
We can't recommend Jo and Chris enough to anyone looking for an exceptionally talented team with top-tier equipment to capture their special day.
Thank you so much!
From the very beginning, they were so easy to work with. They took the time to understand what we wanted and brought that vision to life beautifully. We’re genuinely so happy with the photos and videos they created for us. Looking through them brings us straight back to the day and all the little moments and emotions that made it so special.
On the day itself, they made everything feel so effortless. They were calm, warm, and so easy to have around, which made such a difference when there was so much happening around us. We never felt like we had to worry about a thing.
We’re so grateful to have had them there to capture our wedding at Château La Durantie. They didn’t just document the day, they captured how it felt, and that’s something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team and would hire them again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering Chris and Jo, don’t hesitate. ❤️
Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were outstanding. They blended seamlessly into the day while making sure we got all the photos we wanted, and the final gallery exceeded all our expectations. Every image tells the story of our wedding beautifully, and we'll treasure them for a lifetime.
We couldn't recommend Chris and Jo more highly. If you're looking for photographers who are talented, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do, they're the perfect choice. Thank you both for giving us memories we'll cherish forever!
Our photos and wedding video are beyond anything we could have imagined — every time we watch it back or look through our pictures, we get emotional all over again. They perfectly captured the atmosphere, love, and all the little moments we never want to forget.
Not only are they amazingly talented, but they are also such lovely people to have around on your wedding day. So many of our guests commented on how friendly and professional they were.
We are so grateful to have these memories forever and honestly cannot recommend Chris and Jo enough. Thank you both for giving us something we will treasure for the rest of our lives 🤍

Destination Wedding Photography in Dordogne & Across France
Our
style
Our wedding photography style focuses on natural skin tones, soft light and a timeless, elegant edit. Trends in filters and heavy presets come and go, but we believe your France wedding photos should still look beautiful in 10, 20, 30 years’ time. We blend documentary coverage with gentle direction for portraits, so you get real, relaxed moments plus a few hero images to frame.

Wedding 16 took us back to the beautiful Château Saint Paul for Ella & Callum’s incredible wedding day ✨
This time the weather was a little kinder, but the atmosphere was just as amazing! One of the highlights had to be the surprise singing waiters 🎤🎶 — they had everyone on their feet and created memories that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
From start to finish, the whole day flowed perfectly, surrounded by family, friends, laughter, and plenty of happy tears ❤️
A huge thank you, as always, to all the fantastic suppliers who helped make the day so special. It’s always a team effort 🙌

Wedding gallery 5 delivered 📸
Alex and Evan were married at the beautiful Château de Lacoste on 23rd May, and what a day it was.
It was unusually hot for that time of year, so their huge marquee was an absolute lifesaver, giving everyone some much-needed shade for the meal, speeches and evening party ☀️
The château looked incredible, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy, and the whole day had that proper South West France wedding feel.
Then, just when we thought the setting couldn’t get much better, a flotilla of hot air balloons drifted past the venue 🎈
They weren’t officially part of the wedding celebrations, but they timed it perfectly and made for some amazing drone photos of the château and surrounding countryside.
A proper little bonus moment for Alex and Evan’s gallery.
As always thanks to all the other suppliers for a great day.

Harriet & David were married at the beautiful Château de Saint Paul in May.
With family and friends travelling from Scotland and New Zealand, the atmosphere was incredible from start to finish. The sun shone all day, Harriet looked effortlessly beautiful, and David looked every bit the Highlander in his tartan kilt.
A fantastic day with wonderful people. ❤️

A beautiful wedding weekend at Domaine d’Essendiéras in the Dordogne for Sarah & Ryan, who travelled from the UK to celebrate their wedding in South West France.
Friday BBQ, Saturday wedding, Sunday brunch — the perfect French château wedding weekend.
Ryan even played golf on the wedding morning, while Sarah surprised everyone after the meal and speeches by having her hair cut — Ryan’s face said it all.
We’ve never seen so much confetti at a wedding. Absolute Dordogne wedding chaos, in the best possible way.
Mark the celebrant was brilliant, Domaine d’Essendiéras looked stunning, and it was such a joy to photograph and film another relaxed destination wedding in France.
Congratulations Sarah & Ryan — what a weekend.

Last Saturday, Jo and I celebrated 17 years of marriage ❤️
Seventeen years ago, we walked out of those doors as husband and wife. Fast forward 17 years, and we spent our anniversary doing exactly what we love most – together at a wedding at Château du Doux.
Over the years, Jo has become so much more than my wife. She’s the person who keeps me organised, keeps the business running smoothly, keeps me focused, and somehow manages to keep me sane during the busiest wedding season!
One of the things we love most about our job is having a front-row seat to the beginning of so many other couples’ marriage journeys. After 17 years together ourselves, we know marriage isn’t just about the wedding day – it’s about all the moments that come afterwards. The laughter, the challenges, the adventures and the memories you build together.
So it felt rather fitting to spend our anniversary at Château du Doux, capturing the start of another couple’s story while reflecting on our own.
Happy Anniversary, Jo ❤️ Here’s to the next chapter.
