Minimalist Inspiration Shoot At A French Château That Makes Elegance Look Effortless
Planning a wedding doesn't have to be overwhelming. We've got enough to worry about these days and planning what is essentially a big party shouldn't add to your stress. "How?" You may ask. It starts with a vision and a team. Before you even begin planning your wedding, collect inspiration images and create a board to share with your wedding vendors. Don't just pin pictures and call it a day, make sure you take notes about what EXACTLY you like about each image. This will help minimize the back-and-forth between you and your vendors and ensure that nothing gets lost in translation. Once you know what you want (which is honestly, the hardest part to figure out), find your go-to wedding vendor. It can be your photographer, your planner, even your florist. If there is someone whose work you've seen and liked, start there. Behind every photo is a team of vendors so ask them who they worked with to create the images that spoke to you. This makes it easy to choose a team because you know they've worked together before and you like what they've done as a team...it can really be as simple as that!
Don't believe us? Check out this inspiration shoot by Ha Nguyen Photography. They worked hand-in-hand with Amel Event Paris who helped plan every detail and assemble this killer team of wedding professionals for this French-inspired shoot at Chateâu Coursenlisse. You can see all of the images in the full gallery. Read on to hear more from photographer, Ha Nguyen about their original vision for this shoot and how they brought it to life!
Bringing A Vision To Life
This intimate and timeless styled shoot brought to life a vision that had been in my mind for a long time. With a unique take on a French wedding, this shoot proves that magical things happen when you have a team of detailed vendors that go the extra mile to make your day absolute perfection.
Located at a charming chateâu just one hour outside of Paris, I was inspired to bring a modern and minimalistic approach to the timeless all-white wedding. The combination of delicate white flowers with soft touches of green matches perfectly with the feeling of springtime air in France.
The bride is wearing Savannah Miller, who incorporates directional and timeless designs celebrating elegance and uniqueness. This minimalist, open-back dress on our bride with the soft florals surrounding every moment of this day creates the feeling of airy, light bliss that one can truly embrace on their wedding day.
Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust
I met Amel, a talented wedding planner from Amel Event Paris. I discussed my idea with her and Amel touched my heart with her trust for me and her support in bringing my vision to life. Amel helped me gather a team of talented vendors. On the day of the shoot, she had my back, making sure that every little detail was perfect, from the floral design to the table setting and from makeup to outfit handling. By making everyone feel comfortable and taking care of all of our needs she helped ensure that the shoot would be magical!
