When Sarah and Raph asked me to be their destination wedding videographer in France, I knew their celebration would be special. Hidden away in the Vendée region, near the famous Loire Valley, their wedding at Château de Bourneauwas the epitome of French romance. As a filmmaker, capturing the blend of history, elegance, and relaxed summer vibes was a dream.
A Cinematic Backdrop of Turrets and Gardens This stunning 19th-century château provided a cinematic backdrop that made every shot look like a painting. With its iconic turreted silhouette and secluded grounds, the venue offered a perfect balance of intimacy and grandeur. As a France wedding videographer, I look for locations that offer diversity of light, and the transition from the sun-drenched gardens for the ceremony to the warm, festoon-lit courtyard for dinner was flawless.
The day was a masterclass in elegant, relaxed luxury. From the emotional vows exchanged in the château gardens to the al fresco banquet under the stars, the atmosphere was filled with joy. We captured some incredible golden hour portraitsin the tall grass before the night transitioned into a high-energy party in the château’s historic hall. Sarah and Raph’s film is a testament to the beauty of a French château wedding, combining high-end style with raw, honest emotion.

If you are planning a wedding at Château de Bourneau or anywhere in the Vendée region and are looking for a videographer to capture the magic of your destination wedding, I would love to tell your story.
“We absolutely love our wedding videos – they’re fantastic! Tom is a very talented videographer, a lovely guy to have around, and he made our guests feel at ease before the camera. He captured so many great moments and created a unique film that we feel really reflected the day. We also love his use of music to set the right mood in the video.
Tom is different. He gets to know you, listens to what you want and produces a video that is YOURS. Watching the videos makes us relive the happiness, joy and laughter of the day. We are so glad we had a videographer, and that Tom was ours. We absolutely recommend having Tom video your event!”
