By Elena Moretti | Published 12 April 2023

A gold arch wrapped in white peonies and trailing eucalyptus stood at the end of a shaded garden aisle at Chateau la Tour Vaucros, a private Provencal estate near Avignon. Hannah and Jack chose this September afternoon for an all-white celebration that turned the stone courtyards and formal gardens into a quiet study in texture and tone. With planning by Elle et Nous and florals by Fleurs Design by Faustine, every detail drew from a single palette of ivory, cream, and deep green foliage against the warm backdrop of Provence's late-summer light.

Getting Ready

A black-and-white getting-ready moment captured indoors in what appears to be a bedroom or bridal suite, showing the bride surrounded by four bridesmaids in a candid, celebratory pose. The bride wears a fitted, textured white gown with a V-neckline and a cathedral-length veil, and holds a compact bouquet of light-toned flowers. The four bridesmaids wear matching satin slip dresses with cowl or V-necklines, with one bridesmaid raising both arms overhead in excitement while the others gather closely around the bride, laughing and smiling. The image is shot in high contrast black and white, with bright highlights on the dresses against a softly lit plain wall with a framed artwork hanging behind the group; a floral arrangement is partially visible to the right. The composition is a wide portrait shot taken at a slight low angle, emphasizing the energy and movement of the group.
This black-and-white portrait captures a groom during the getting-ready phase, adjusting his tie while smiling broadly. He is dressed in a textured waistcoat, a white dress shirt with French cuffs and visible cufflinks, and a dark tie. The image is a close-up portrait shot with shallow depth of field, taken outdoors against a light-rendered building facade. High contrast tones highlight the dappled light falling across his waistcoat and shirt.
A getting-ready scene captured indoors in what appears to be a hotel room or bridal suite, with warm neutral walls, a mirrored side table, and sheer patterned curtains providing soft backlight. The bride, a blonde woman with loose waves, wears a fitted ivory sequined gown with a V-neckline and a short train, and white strappy block-heeled sandals, while she looks downward as a second woman fastens the back of the dress. The second woman, likely the mother of the bride, wears a knee-length black embellished dress with scattered pearl and sequin detailing and a small dark fascinator headpiece. The composition is a full-length portrait shot of the two women, with a framed photograph visible on the wall to the left.

Both men wear black dress shoes — the groom in monk-strap style.

The shoot is a full-length portrait taken in natural daylight with dappled shade from an olive tree overhead.

Hannah got ready inside the chateau's bridal suite, her mother fastening the back of a fitted ivory sequined gown with a V-neckline and a short train. Four bridesmaids in champagne satin slip dresses gathered around her, one throwing her arms overhead in a burst of laughter captured in black and white by Ozaria Weddings. Across the grounds, Jack adjusted his tie against a sunlit stone wall, dressed in a textured waistcoat and French cuffs.


Ceremony

An outdoor wedding ceremony taking place in a garden setting, with the couple seated in front of a gold arch decorated with clusters of white florals — appearing to be white roses and greenery — flanking both sides. The bride wears a white full-length gown and the groom wears a light beige suit with a dark tie; both are smiling and appear to be listening to a reading. A female officiant stands to the right reading from papers at a microphone. Approximately 30–40 guests are seated on white folding chairs arranged in rows on either side of a central aisle, with their backs to the camera in a wide shot. The decor palette is white and gold with a classic garden style.

This is a mid-length group portrait shot.

Guests took their seats on cushioned folding chairs arranged across the lawn, facing a gold metal arch dense with white peonies, hydrangeas, and ranunculus. Hannah walked the aisle on her father's arm, her cathedral-length veil lifting in the breeze as he paused to wipe a tear from her cheek. She and Jack exchanged vows under dappled shade while an officiant read from beneath the arch, the couple laughing and holding hands through the readings. The whole scene played out against clipped hedges and cypress trees, with white floral columns framing the space on both sides.

Ozaria Weddings took Hannah and Jack through the formal gardens during golden hour, the low sun throwing long shadows across the lawn and catching the back of her cathedral-length veil. They walked through the vineyard rows, Jack carrying her bouquet of white peonies, then paused beneath a canopy of cypress trees where she glanced back over her shoulder into the lens flare. One frame, shot through the glass doors of the terrace in black and white, placed them small against the stone steps and wrought-iron railings of the estate.


Bridal Party

One black-and-white frame caught the group emerging through the chateau's stone doorway, the bride's veil held aloft by an attendant while her father kissed her cheek in the courtyard. The palette stayed consistent from hair to hemline: polished updos, natural makeup, and champagne-toned fabric against the estate's green hedges.


Cocktail Hour

A group of approximately 20 wedding guests is walking across a gravel courtyard toward a classic Provençal-style manor house with cream-rendered walls, arched windows, and a terracotta tile roof.
