Francesca & Laurent

When F & L began their research for the elopement, they stumbled across the unique history of the Camargue Horse. They are all white, and roam the salt marshes and flat territories along the coast not far from the beautiful cities of Saint Remy and Les Baux, The horses are a celebrated fixture of Provence history, and equally mysterious, as it is not known exactly how they came to be there.
They wanted to avoid the classic Provence stereotypes for the elopement, so we did not focus on the lavender fields or Grand Chateau’s in the countryside. Instead they drew inspiration from the beautiful white Camargue horses, and old stone walls and alley-ways of the ancient towns. The soft greys and creams of the old stone, and the wild flowing mane of the Camargue horse perfectly complimented the pale pink, flowy J.Mendel dress. The stunning white stone staircase inside the Hotel De Tourrel in Saint Remy made for a beautiful location, as well as the ancient alleyways outside. Then for sunset, they trekked to the top of the Ancient Ruins of Les Baux in the hills.
