It is a first time to feature Chartreuse of Bignac on the blog, but such a pleasure as it is such a beautiful wedding venue near Bordeaux!  Look at the beautiful silhouette of the roof and the rustic charm of the gardens is just delightful.

Photographer Céline from Autumn’s Studio takes us through their big day:  ” It was a sunny day in July,  the sun is slightly veiled and it gives a sensation of summer sweetness in these hot days.
