Location: 1 hour from Paris, Ile-de-France, Northern France
An hour from Paris, this secluded neoclassical estate, 40 km from Paris set a clear brief: history, fashion, and spring color working in concert. Château du Prieuré d’Evecquemont, an estate with a double staircase and a lime tree allée, offered salons and grounds that supported ceremony studies and outdoor dining in the North of France. The luxury french chateau’s scale read clean on camera as petals, fabric, and stone caught changing light. A concise palette in pink, salmon orange, yellow, and purple carried through ceremony and table scenes, while a Dior spirit shaped bow details and sculpted silhouettes. Guests would have heard leaves stir, glass chime, and footsteps settle on gravel as scenes shifted.

Staircase Drama, Allée Dining and Color With Purpose
The staircase became a floral canvas, its rises lined with single-shade groupings that kept sightlines open and movement practical. In the garden, the bridle path turned dining room, with wrought iron chairs, tall centerpieces and linen that sat quietly beneath saturated blooms. Butterfly motifs in paper offered a light note, while a hand-painted cake extended the palette without overcrowding the table. Under the trees, candles steadied in the breeze, silver accents lifted the place settings, and the house façade anchored portraits between courses. Across Château du Prieuré d’Evecquemont‘s interiors and lawn, arrangements stayed scaled to door height and walkway width, so service routes remained clear and the narrative held its pace.
Direction, Imagery and Notes for Real Weddings
Collaboration shaped the flow. Wedding Planner Veronique Lorre mapped routes between staircase, terrace, and allée, timed turns to softer light, and protected traffic paths so dining and portraits stayed calm. Wedding Photographers Aude Lucas and Thomas Augier recorded close texture and wide proportion, tracking color across stone, reflections in glass, and quiet exchanges beneath lime trees. Their approach translated into usable guidance: group color by shade, let one motif repeat with restraint, and seat guests where architecture frames faces. At Château du Prieuré d’Evecquemont, short walks, cover nearby, and strong anchors made a fashion-forward spring brief feel grounded, camera-ready, and comfortable for a gathering.
