Featured FWS Members
Ling and Maxime returned to the French countryside to celebrate at an enchanting wedding chateau surrounded by private parkland near Paris, where historic interiors and garden terraces framed a bilingual celebration. Pascal Vo documented the day across this elegant chateau wedding estate in Ile-de-France, from chapel vows to a candlelit ballroom dinner.
Ceremony






Ling and Maxime exchanged vows inside a small Gothic chapel with ribbed vaulting and whitewashed walls. Arched alcoves framed the altar where Ancolie Landa placed a low arrangement of seasonal blooms in rust and muted gold. A Catholic liturgy unfolded beneath the pointed arches as soft light filtered through narrow lancet windows.
Bridal Portraits






Inside a bright salon with white boiserie panelling and herringbone parquet, Fanny Wong finished a soft lip as the bride fastened her earrings. The Nicole Milano gown fell in clean lines against the classic French interior. Pascal Vo captured the final adjustments before moving to the curved staircase, where natural light outlined the full silhouette against wrought-iron balusters.
Couple Portraits






Pascal Vo led the couple through the formal garden, pausing on a gravel pathway where clipped hedges formed a natural corridor. A second series moved indoors to the curved staircase landing, where warm light from a tall window caught the bride's gown against wrought-iron balusters. Later frames returned to the garden, the chateau's stone facade softening in the afternoon light.
Design and Details






A pale blue vintage Citroen Traction Avant sat on the gravel drive, its curves echoing the chateau's classical lines. Ancolie Landa layered table centres with berry tones, taper candles, and clusters of fruit in warm copper vessels. Silver glitter kitten-heel pumps and a dusty blue velvet ring box by Cotton Bird completed the detail vignettes arranged on white linen.
