Domaine de La Léotardie, Dordogne, South of France - Mimi + Shaun

11 Dec

“Omg omg omg. We're all reprobates and these photos have blown our tiny minds! There's just so bloody many !!! Honestly so many people have said afterwards how they kept asking you how you knew us assuming you were a guest! You got so stuck in (and that absolutely comes across from the photos, real gems!)”

Holy back to back destination wedding blogs Batman! I honestly thought when I started this crazy gig 2 years ago that no one would ever fly me out to shoot their wedding. Always was inundated by these stunning weddings abroad on my instagram daily, but I was pretty chuffed as hell just to have any bookings to be honest! Fast forward to now and having shot over 10 in various countries with plenty more coming in 2020, well call me one lucky son of a gun.

Amazing locations aside (and they don’t come more amazing than Domaine de La Léotardie in the Dordogne region of the South of France!) I couldn’t have wished to spend the weekend with a more fun-loving, hilarious and boozey bunch! Seriously these guys put away gin-shots and Shimi IPA like it was nothing!! While we’re on the topic how many couples do you know would brew their on IPA and drive bottles of it to France for all their guests to enjoy! The sticker is still firmly on one of my lenses and it reminds me of this brilliant weekend every time I pull it out the bag. Yeah this weekend pretty much had it all, including a story of Mimi and two pigeons that literally made milk shoot out of my nose and I wasn’t even drinking anything! 😜 Hope you’re reading this Meemz! Also round of applause for Domaine de La Léotardie! Besides having such a mouthful of a name and also some of the dodgiest roads to get there (actually I should say it was Waze’s fault for taking through the off roading track) It’s still one of the most amazing venues I’ve ever seen! Rustic French charm oozing out of every corner and definitely somewhere I’d like to visit again!

Extra special thanks to Ajna from Oui Mon Coeur - damn I thought I worked hard!!

So here’s Mimi, Shaun, France and the first images of the gentleman sport known as Hitty Jumpy Moroccan Lantern Olympics. Turns out I don’t have a great bounce per ounce.
