Stephanie and Kieran gathered their closest friends and family at Chateau du Puits es Pratx, a Napoleonic estate with fountain courtyard and on-site accommodation near Narbonne. An all-white palette of baby's breath and lace set the tone for a celebration framed by limestone and blue shutters. Clarity Sweden captured the day across this elegant chateau wedding estate near Carcassonne in Occitanie.

Glam By H applied a fresh, luminous finish while Dinistile worked Stephanie's long blonde hair in the softly lit bridal suite. She wore an Elysee Bridal Design lace gown with long sleeves and a cathedral-length veil edged in floral lace. A quiet moment with her mother pinning a white rose corsage preceded the descent down the curved interior staircase.


Ceremony

Natural wood cross-back chairs curved in a semicircle beneath a spreading olive tree that formed a natural canopy over the tiled pathway. Clouds of baby's breath and white roses softened the fountain's edge without closing the courtyard view. Stephanie and Kieran exchanged vows as water from the central fountain carried across gravel.

Clarity Sweden captured Stephanie and Kieran across the property's best corners: the ivy-covered facade with pale blue shutters, the garden courtyard, and the golden backlit path during the last hour of light. One black-and-white frame caught them silhouetted against a blown-out glow. In the garden, Stephanie stood among dense green shrubs with her cathedral veil trailing behind.


Bridal Party

Bridesmaids in white gowns walked with Stephanie across a petal-scattered lawn, helping carry her cathedral-length train toward the ceremony. The groomsmen gathered beneath a large tree, laughing as Kieran showed off his wedding ring. A candid group portrait later caught the bride surrounded by friends during cocktails.

Stephanie and Kieran poured champagne together into a coupe tower set on a rustic wooden stand as guests gathered in the courtyard. The first dance took place beside the ivy-covered facade under strands of overhead lights. Long tables in white focused attention on candle glow and glass while Clarity Sweden documented speeches and laughter.

Table numbers printed in blue-and-white toile de Jouy featured birds and botanical illustrations. A long rectangular table ran along the shaded courtyard, dressed in blue and white floral-patterned linen. Stephanie's pointed-toe lace stiletto heels hung by their ankle straps against weathered wood, a quiet detail before the ceremony.
