Location: Vacheresses • Paris • North of France
Eline and Baptiste gathered family and friends at Manoir de Vacheresses, a countryside wedding venue located on the edge of the Yvelines, between Paris and Chartres. The morning began quietly in bright rooms before guests crossed the lawn toward the ceremony. This historic manor perfect for hosting weddings and events, known for its warm stone façades, sheltered courtyards, and long lawns, offered a private escape just outside the city. Its mature gardens and rustic outbuildings shaped the flow of the day, providing ceremony and portrait spaces that felt naturally connected. As vows concluded, applause lifted across the grass while servers moved through the crowd with glasses in hand, setting the tone for a relaxed summer celebration in the North of France.

Neutral Design, Heritage Architecture, and Open Flow
The design focused on soft, natural tones that allowed texture and material to lead. Linen, stone, foliage, and pale florals built a gentle palette, balanced by the manor’s architectural lines. Manoir de Vacheresses arches guided movement from lawn to terrace, and shade from old trees offered rest between scenes. Long tables were set under open air for dinner, their surfaces glowing with candlelight as dusk gathered. The gardens carried a faint herbal scent, gravel paths added tactile contrast, and the whole property encouraged easy movement between ceremony, cocktails, and reception without pause a rare flow for a countryside venue near Paris.
Photography That Captured Light, Place, and Connection
The day was documented by Nextdoor Stories, among the most trusted wedding photographers in Paris, whose work centered on natural rhythm and atmosphere. Portraits played with the contrast of ivy, stone, and directional light, keeping both the couple and the setting in frame. Every image felt alive with quiet gestures shared laughter in the courtyard, a hand resting on stone, candles flickering as evening deepened. The manor’s architecture and garden textures became part of the storytelling, reflecting a wedding defined by presence, movement, and understated beauty in the French countryside.
