A Destination Wedding in the Heart of the Loire Valley

 

For couples dreaming of a French château wedding, the Château du Parc Saint-Lambert is a hidden gem. Nestled in the Angers countryside, the venue offers grand architecture, lush gardens, and that undeniable charm only a château in France can offer. It was the ideal setting for Ingvild and Ådne’s heartfelt celebration, planned with care by the incredibly talented Amanda Costa Thompson.

The couple exchanged vows outside on the château lawn, with the majestic façade of the château as their ceremony backdrop. The setting was effortlessly romantic—soft light, floral arrangements in gentle blue and cream tones, and an atmosphere full of joy and emotion. It was one of those moments that felt suspended in time.

Subtle Elegance in Every Detail

 

Amanda Comsta Thompson curated every detail with intention and restraint. From the delicate florals to the elegant reception setup, the design struck the perfect balance between French refinement and modern minimalism. The blue and cream palette gave the entire day a fresh, dreamy feel, echoing the couple’s vision of something beautiful, effortless, and deeply personal.

As a destination wedding photographer, moments like these are what I live for. Ingvild and Ådne’s connection was easy and natural, and their celebration was full of emotion, style, and warmth. Documenting their day at Château du Parc Saint-Lambert was such a privilege—it’s the kind of wedding that reminds you why you do this work.
