An Exceptional Wedding at Domaine du Mont Leuze: An Ode to Elegance on the French Riviera
The French Riviera, with its incomparable light and breathtaking landscapes, is a dream destination for couples from all over the world. As a fine art wedding photographer, I am Sébastien Cabanes, and my passion is to capture the essence of emotions to create timeless memories. Recently, I had the privilege of immortalizing a sumptuous wedding at the Domaine du Mont Leuze, a jewel overlooking the Mediterranean near Nice, offering an exceptional panorama of Villefranche-sur-Mer.
A Team of Excellent Vendors
This wedding was masterfully orchestrated by Yacine from the “A deux mains tenant” agency, a highly talented wedding planner with whom I greatly enjoy collaborating. His vision and attention to detail transform each event into an unforgettable moment.
For the first time, I had the chance to work alongside Anthony Mallea, a talented videographer whose cinematic approach perfectly complemented my photographic work. It was a most harmonious artistic collaboration, a real pleasure to create the memories of this day together.
Gentle and Elegant Preparations
The day began in the estate’s bridal suite, where the bride and her bridesmaids prepared in a joyful and relaxed atmosphere. The “Les Jolies Filles” team enhanced their natural beauty with refined makeup and hairstyles. I took advantage of these precious moments to take gentle portraits and capture candid moments of complicity, all within the magnificent setting of the suite.
Meanwhile, the groom and his groomsmen shared moments of conviviality. I seized the opportunity for a short portrait session on the domain’s terrace, taking advantage of the stunning view to create strong and elegant images.
An Emotional Ceremony Facing the Mediterranean
The secular ceremony took place on a terrace with a spectacular view of the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, an already majestic setting made even more sublime by the floral compositions of Gloriosa. This talented floral designer created a decor of rare elegance that made this moment even more magical.
Yacine, as the officiant, then led a ceremony that was both funny and deeply moving. His talent for telling love stories and creating a connection with the guests is a real asset, making these moments truly unforgettable for the bride, groom, and their loved ones.
A Festive and Refined Evening Under the Stars
The cocktail hour, animated by the musical selections of Franck Perez from Must Animation, set the tone for a festive and elegant evening. I love working with Franck; his energy and professionalism guarantee an exceptional atmosphere. The caterer, Gaudefroy Réception, delighted the guests with refined dishes, contributing to the excellence of the reception.
At sunset, I slipped away for a few moments with the newlyweds for a couple’s session. The golden light of the golden hour bathing the gardens and terrace of Domaine du Mont Leuze created an atmosphere of absolute romanticism, allowing me to capture images imbued with poetry and intimacy.
The evening continued in a festive and surprising atmosphere, with the estate revealing all its beauty at nightfall against the backdrop of the incredible view of the sparkling Côte d’Azur.
