Lovely couple Session At Gordes

Gordes – Lovely perfect destination for a couple

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with an amazing couple who absolutely loved Gordes. This small town, located in the heart of the Luberon region in France, has become a popular destination for couples from the USA and Asia. And it’s not hard to see why! Gordes is known for its stunning natural beauty, picturesque stone houses, and narrow winding streets that lead to the heart of the town. The couple I worked with were no exception – they were captivated by the charm of Gordes and spent their time laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

As a luxury fine art wedding photographer, I love working with couples who are not always in only beautiful attitude but also enthusiastic about the locations we shoot in. Gordes offered a wealth of opportunities to capture stunning images, from the gorgeous stone walls of the town to the sweeping views of the countryside. I made use of the daylight to capture the vibrant colors and textures of the town and the surrounding landscape, and the sunset provided a soft, romantic light that made the couple shine even more.

Sarah’s big laugh adds a burst of emotion to this moment.

Lavenders and Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque

Another breathtaking location I love to shoot in is the lavender fields near Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque. This stunning monastery, located in the heart of Provence, is surrounded by acres of lavender fields that offer a stunning backdrop for any photo session. Be careful though, the monks have added barriers because of the increasing number of tourists, and the place is at the bottom of a valley where you lose light much earlier than on the plateau of Valensole for example. As a photographer, during a couple session, it is important for me to take into account the geography of the place to get the most beautiful images with my couples

When shooting in the lavender fields, I always make use of natural light to capture the delicate hues and textures of the flowers. The bright sunlight enhances the vibrant colors of the lavender, while the soft, diffused light during sunset creates a warm, dreamy effect. I also love to play with different angles and perspectives to capture the beauty of the fields, from shooting close-ups of the flowers to capturing sweeping vistas of the countryside.

Overall, shooting in Gordes and the lavender fields of Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque was an incredible experience. These locations offer an abundance of natural beauty, and working with couples who are in love and full of laughter makes it even more special. As a luxury fine art wedding photographer, it’s a joy to capture these precious moments and create lasting memories for couples to treasure forever.
