Aix-en-Provence, France
Stephanie + Jason
Every time I board a plane to cross the Atlantic, I light up. There’s just something about being in Europe that sparks my soul. Everywhere you look, you see historical architecture, beautiful landscapes, and endless charm. I remember my European experiences with crisp clarity…
Walking along the Seine river in Paris…
Taking in the views of the villas on Lake Como…
Watching the swimmers on the Amalfi Coast alternate between dips in the lake and sips of a refreshing spritz…
And most recently, photographing a beautiful destination wedding at the Château De La Gaude in the south of France.
There is just something about Europe that is well worth the journey.
Château Romance
Stephanie and Jason’s European wedding weekend began with a lovely coastal sunrise photoshoot at Cap Rocat. Then, they were off to Aix-en Provence for their welcome events. Stephanie and Jason exchanged their vows in the gardens of a French château. Their wedding venue, the ethereal Château De La Gaude in Aix-en-Provence, was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
The estate sits on several acres of land and includes a maze garden, lavender fields, a vineyard, top-tier restaurants, a hotel, a villa, and a spa. One of the restaurants even features a natural underground spring that flows in the middle of the room. The historic and recently renovated Château has absolutely everything you could ever want for a destination wedding. It was incredible.
Shades of Love
Stephanie and Jason’s wedding was timeless, classic, and had just the right amount of color. Pastel, ombre-themed florals adorned all the major focal points. The couple was actually the very first to be wed at the Château Le Gaude!
Since the wedding itself was intimate (only forty one guests total), the already expansive venue seemed even more grand in scale. Together with the help of White Eden Weddings, Stephanie and Jason created a larger than life, breathtaking experience that highlighted their love of family, friends, food, and celebration.
For a few days, the bride, groom, and guests were completely immersed in European luxury, beauty, and history. It was truly an unforgettable experience that will live in their hearts (and mine) forever.

Drawing on years of experience in the fashion and editorial photography industry, my photographs are graceful, honest and boldly natural, while completely intentional. Whether it’s the opportunity to narrate the retelling of once-in-a-lifetime wedding days, or the ability to communicate issues of global importance, or all the stories in between, I look at photography as the method by which I get to leave the world a little better than I found it.
