Wedding venue · Normandy, France

Wedding photographer at Château du Perron.

Château du Perron is a wedding venue in the Normandy hedgerow country, 20 minutes from Saint-Lô, Coutances and Périers. Forty hectares of grounds, a lake, a chapel and a large orangery where the reception is held, with rooms on site. I have photographed a wedding here — and I work in English throughout.

The venue

A château, a lake and an orangery.

Château du Perron stands at Saint-Aubin-du-Perron, in the Manche, about twenty minutes from Saint-Lô, Coutances and Périers. It sits in forty hectares of green country, with a lake, a chapel of its own, and a large orangery where the reception is held.

The day moves from room to room and garden to garden: the ceremony in the château or the chapel, drinks on the lawn by the lake, then dinner and dancing under the chandeliers of the orangery. The estate also has a good number of rooms on site, including the couple's suite.

My approach

A documentary eye.

I do not direct and I do not stage. I tell the story of your day as it is actually lived — the circle of friends around you during the ceremony, the drinks by the water, the first dance under the chandeliers. I look for honest light and real moments.

I am based in Saint-Lô, twenty minutes away, and I speak English throughout — from the first email to the delivery of your gallery. For international couples, travel and accommodation anywhere in France are included in the package price: no mileage added afterwards.

Frequently asked questions.

Do you photograph weddings at Château du Perron?
Yes. I have photographed a wedding at Château du Perron, at Saint-Aubin-du-Perron near Saint-Lô — the ceremony in one of the drawing rooms, drinks by the lake, then dinner and dancing under the chandeliers of the orangery.
Where is Château du Perron, and how do we get there?
At Saint-Aubin-du-Perron in the Manche, Normandy — about twenty minutes from Saint-Lô, Coutances and Périers. From the UK, the Poole–Cherbourg ferry is the nearest crossing; Portsmouth–Caen (Ouistreham) is the other option. The château sits roughly midway between Mont-Saint-Michel and the D-Day beaches.
How much does a wedding photographer cost at this venue?
The price depends mostly on how long I am with you. A wedding can be covered from the preparations to the end of the evening, town hall and group photos included. Five packages, the same prices for French and international couples: Essentiel at €1,199 (town hall to the end of the cocktail hour); Journée at €1,499 (getting-ready to the end of the cocktail hour); Célébration at €1,599 (ceremony through to 1 am); Intégral at €1,899 (the whole day, getting-ready through to 1 am). Above them, Le Week-end at €3,400 covers three days — the welcome dinner, the wedding day and the farewell brunch. Each includes the town hall and ceremony, the drinks reception and cocktail hour, group photographs and a short couple session, at least 500 photographs in full resolution on a private gallery delivered within 15 days, and the WEDBOX guest page. Travel and accommodation are charged on top and always confirmed before you book: included within 30 km of Saint-Lô, then a flat fee by distance, from €40 to a maximum of €500 — nights on site included. Château du Perron is in Normandy, so the travel fee is set by the distance from Saint-Lô and nothing else is added afterwards.
Can our guests stay on site?
Yes. Alongside the reception space the estate has a good number of rooms, including the couple's suite — which matters when most of your guests are flying in and would rather not drive after the party.
Do you speak English?
Yes, throughout — the first call, the planning, the day itself and the delivery of your gallery. I work regularly with couples from the UK, the United States and further afield who marry in France. Planning is done by email, WhatsApp or video call, whichever suits you.
Are you an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer?
Yes, unreservedly. Every couple is welcome at Château du Perron as anywhere else I photograph, and my approach does not change: no imposed poses, no assumptions about who does what. Love is love.
