How we meet in Gordes for your engagement session :

When we have a appointment together for your engagement session: I might tell you to meet me in front of THE view. You might have seen it online, social media or Instagram, but THE view is just as amazing as you thought.

Imagine this: summer, south of France, 6:30 in the morning, you are literally asking yourself what you are doing here … Weather is a bit chilly but here we are all alone in front of the village of Gordes, Luberon, South of France. THE view is just for you to look at. Enjoy the sunrise, the songs of birds and the sounds of nature waking up: it’s right in front of you.

Then we go in the heart of the village. The quaint squares and hidden courtyards offer intimate settings for capturing tender moments. Gordes’ architectural marvels, including the 16th-century castle and the iconic Saint-Firmin church, provide a historical and regal backdrop for your love story. Every Tuesday morning you will find the traditional French market in the city center. It’s so nice to see it taking shape.

You might also see lavender fields:

Depending on the season, the vibrant hues of lavender or the earthy tones of vineyards create a stunning natural canvas. Mid-June to mid-July is the perfect timing to see a purple tide around Provence. Let the fragrant blooms surround you: it’s happening you will get married to the one you love.

Time for a coffee or a drink:

At the end of your sunrise session, I love to go and have a coffee together. It’s a perfect time to get to know each other more and chat before the wedding. If you rather choose the sunset experience: we might go out for a drink or you can book a table Aux Airelles de Gordes.
