Your Bordeaux Wedding, Captured with Elegance.

Wedding photographer in Bordeaux

Check your dateSee real weddings

Most of my weddings are within an hour of home: châteaux among the vineyards of Saint-Émilion and Libourne, estates in the Médoc and Entre-Deux-Mers, and the hills just outside the city.

Most of my couples fly in from the UK, the US and further. I’ve already walked the grounds they’ve only seen in photos, so I can tell them where the light is at seven in the evening, or which terrace gets too hot in July. I’ll guide you when it helps, and otherwise I stay out of the way.

Season

June and September are the best months. July and August are hot, so the ceremony works best late in the afternoon or in the shade. In September and early October many estates are harvesting: beautiful in photos, but there may be tractors and a working yard, so ask your venue.

Light

In June the sun sets around ten, so dinner starts in daylight and portraits happen late. By October it sets before eight. I build the timeline around it.

Getting around

Most couples fly into Bordeaux-Mérignac. Saint-Émilion is a short drive east of the city. If guests stay in town, book the shuttles early.

If it rains

Almost every estate has a chai or a cellar, and a ceremony among the barrels works well as a plan B.

Châteaux I’ve photographed

These are the Bordeaux châteaux I’ve photographed. I know where the light is at each hour, how long the walk is from the ceremony to the drinks, and where family photos fit without moving everyone.

Château Gassies

Terraces, interiors and gardens looking out over Bordeaux. Close to the city, so guests don’t need long transfers.

Château Rigaud

The ceremony and dinner move between the vines and the main estate buildings.

What couples say

“Dina was our Photographer in June '25 in the Dordogne, and she was amazing. So easy to meet her online, organise all of the details easily, and then send her photos we wanted in preparation. She also worked really well with our videographer, and made sure we got every photo we needed. Highly recommend!!”
