French Romance and Couture Detail
At the heart of the shoot was the Galia Lahav gown — a masterpiece of craftsmanship with delicate lace, soft structure, and ethereal movement. The look was paired with Bella Belle Shoes, whose Enchanted Collection brought an artisan touch through floral embroidery, beaded tulle, and silk textures. Each pair — from the sheer bootie Belle to the feminine Elise and classic Adelaide — embodied Joy Proctor’s signature balance of refinement and emotion. Florals by Bows and Arrows Flowers filled the château’s light-filled rooms with garden softness, their pastel tones perfectly complementing the neutral architecture and fine art palette.
Captured with Dreamy Elegance by Kurt Boomer
Photographer Kurt Boomer, a talented wedding photographer, captured each moment in his signature luminous style. His imagery conveyed the interplay between architecture, texture, and natural light — from the flowing gown to the elegant stationery and sculpted florals. Joy Proctor Design elevated every vignette, weaving together couture fashion, old-world elegance, and timeless composition. The result was a visual love letter to the artistry of French style: romantic yet modern, graceful yet grounded. Every detail — from the shimmering shoes to the gentle curve of a petal — told a story of beauty made to last.
