The bride and groom shared a beautiful moment of love and joy, sealed with a kiss at the city hall during their civil marriage ceremony

Inside the Montauroux city hall in Var, France, the newlyweds shared a beautiful moment of love and joy, sealed in a kiss.

Nadège and Eric wanted a wedding in their image. A wedding in a small committee, at home, surrounded by their family and their closest friends. It was at the town hall of Montauroux, a Provençal village in the department of Var, that I found them. The ceremony took place in a good mood, in complete privacy.

Our two lovers told me that they were not at all comfortable in front of the camera. All the same, the 3 of us went to the alleys of the village in order to take a few photos of the couple and it was in the end in all simplicity that we took these photos. The rest of the day took place at their home, a secular ceremony having been organized by the sister of the groom. The afternoon was spent around a good lunch on the terrace concocted by a chef who came to the house. Our newlyweds did not escape a little surprise film that completed the good atmosphere of the day!
