elisa & nathan
saint-emilion — domaine de perrotin
their wedding unfolded over three sun-filled days in the heart of saint-émilion, surrounded by vineyards, soft french light and the quiet beauty of domaine de perrotin — a place that feels like its own world.
as guests arrived at the domaine, the weekend began with a relaxed welcome dinner between the vineyards. long tables, walking dinner, soft music and the golden view over the vines set the tone immediately. friends shared stories, speeches echoed through the courtyard and the atmosphere was effortless — exactly how elisa & nathan imagined starting their celebration.
the day started slowly and beautifully, with both getting ready in different parts of the estate. elisa surrounded by bridesmaids, her dress hanging elegantly in the château rooms, while nathan prepared with his groomsmen — calm, candid moments, the kind that make mornings memorable.
the ceremony took place in the garden, framed by tall trees and floral arrangements. a warm, emotional setting where vows, speeches and laughter blended with the summer breeze. their double exit — first down the aisle, then from the grand château stairs — became an instant highlight.
after the second exit, the energy softened into something warm and unhurried. guests gathered around them with embraces and congratulations, drifting into small groups as they settled into the grounds of the domaine. the setting opened up — sunlight on the grass, the château behind them, vineyards stretching in every direction — creating a natural pause before the celebration continued.
cocktail hour followed on the lawn: live music, an oyster bar, lawn games, champagne and candid moments everywhere — families coming together, friends wandering between the vines, sunlight shifting across the domaine.
dinner was set in the courtyard under fairy lights, a truly unique scene. the tables were lined with flowers, menus and elegant details; speeches circled the room; the saxophonist carried the atmosphere with warm evening notes. portraits, reactions, shared glances — every moment felt cinematic.
when night fell, the saxophonist opened the dance floor, leading into a lively party that lasted deep into the night. nespresso martinis, midnight snacks and a crowded dance floor brought the perfect finale to a full, emotional day.
the weekend slowed down again on sunday with a brunch by the pool, overlooking the vineyards — fresh food, soft conversations, sunlight over the water and guests lingering just a little longer before heading home.
a weekend that blended elegance with ease — real moments, natural emotion, and the timeless feel of a destination wedding in the french countryside. captured in the honest, documentary, but still editorial, style of narrare. weddings, as everything unfolded.
