A South of France Wedding at Château du Barroux - Fari & Steve
Picture this: Fari and Steve, standing hand in hand beneath the majestic arches of Château du Barroux. The sun is setting on a perfect summer evening, its golden rays bathing them in warmth as they exchange their wedding vows in beautiful southern France. It's a dream come true for any couple - but it was especially special for these two lovebirds.
And that is exactly why Fari & Steve have chosen to celebrate their special day there, at the Château du Barroux.
Le Barroux - a Medieval Fantasy setting for a Wedding
Our lovely couple chose the venue of their South of France wedding in Le Barroux, a small village between Carpentras and Vaison-la-Romaine. The village is famous for its narrow winding streets and the castle overlooking the chateau, built on a beautiful hilltop. From here, you are offered an absolutely stunning panorama of the Comtat Venaissin plain, which is breathtaking, especially during sunset.
This French fairytale destination gave me as a wedding photographer so much inspiration – capturing beautiful shots of the happy couple against such a grandiose background felt like being part of a storybook romance. With each click of my camera shutter came another moment frozen in time – one which could never truly be replicated or forgotten.
Love Begins
We fell head over heels for shooting Fari & Steve, our lovely Canadian couple with Greek heritage and a love for cycling. In fact, it was their hobbies that brought them together. They were friends before they ever became sweethearts.
Their chemistry during our sessions is out of this world, and we cherish every moment they join hands all lovey-dovey or goof around with each other, filling up our behind-the-scenes footage full of lovely bloopers. As life took them to different places around the world, their connection remained unbreakable, until finally deciding that a South of France wedding would be the perfect way to say 'I do'. They are simply some of the sweetest and funniest people we’ve come across.

Dinner at the Château’s Courtyard
After Fari & Steve exchanged their vows and became husband and wife under the eyes of God, it was time for dinner in the medieval castle's courtyard. It is a simple setup, yet the "cheat code" came from the medieval setting of Château du Barroux. Dining guests might have thought they were partaking in an authentic feudal banquet with good wine, cheery laughter, music to dance to, and heartwarming toasts from friends and families. Our couple was truly having the time of their life.
Let’s get the Medieval Party started!
Fari & Steve’s time in the spotlight wasn’t over just yet, because it was time to cut the wedding cake. And it wasn’t just ANY wedding cake, but a full-fledged traditional French Croquembouche. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to behold such a beautiful tower of cream puffs arranged in a cone, wrapped and decorated with sugar threads. Isn’t it a more fitting choice for a medieval castle setting than a regular cake? We all thought the same. What a night to remember!
Last dance beneath the stars
We couldn't have asked for a more magical setting to celebrate Fari and Steve's special day. The Château du Barroux, with its romantic charm and medieval architecture, was the perfect backdrop for their South of France wedding. From exchanging vows under the château’s arches to partying in the courtyard afterwards, it was an unforgettable experience for all who attended.
The evening ended with laughter and joy as we watched Fari and Steve share one last dance beneath the stars. It was such a beautiful sight that everyone wanted time to stand still so they could enjoy this moment forever.
All too soon our night came to a close but not before us wishing Fari and Steve all the best on their journey together! We are sure that their love will continue to blossom over many more years filled with wonderful memories just like this one!
