Sinead & Liam’s Château Rigau wedding is the definition of a vibe, and we are fully obsessed 🩷🧡💛 What started as a wedding quickly turned into a four-day French château house party. The fashion alone deserves its own moment: Sinead in a vintage-inspired Floure Studio gown with sheer gloves and vintage jewellery, Liam in an 80s-inspired Scott Fraser suit, and bridesmaids bringing the colour in sunset shades of pink, orange and yellow.
Just married, the pair jumped into a red Mustang and cruised through the vineyards like something straight out of a movie, before heading back to a dance floor soundtracked by live music and DJ sets from their closest friends. With the celebrations rolling into a chaotic cowboy vs Mexican themed pool party, and some guests even cancelling their flights home to stay longer, this is the kind of wedding weekend no one wanted to end 🍷✨

🇫🇷 Après une séance engagement réalisée seulement quelques jours avant, j'ai eu le plaisir de retrouver mes mariés Londoniens pour leur mariage au @chateaurigaud , un très joli lieu que j'ai eu plaisir à arpenter 🙂
C'est sous une chaleur écrasante mais à l'ombre d'un bel arbre que Joely & Patrick se sont dit Oui, durant une cérémonie officiée par la très professionnelle @helenbutlercelebrant !
La journée s'est terminée sous un orage qui nous a permis de faire une séance couple avec un ciel particulier et un vent qui aura joué des tours au voile de ma mariée 🙂
🇬🇧 After an engagement session just a few days earlier, I had the pleasure of meeting up again with my London couple for their wedding at @chateaurigaud , a truly lovely venue I really enjoyed exploring 🙂
Under the blazing heat—but thankfully in the shade of a beautiful tree—Joely & Patrick said “I do” during a ceremony led by the ever-professional @helenbutlercelebrant !
The day ended with a thunderstorm, which gave us the chance to do a couple session with a dramatic sky and a bit of wind that had some fun with the bride’s veil 🙂

This is how to plan a pool party 💦🍦🎷
Start with a long, lazy lunch on the new terrace — think slow roasts, seasonal quiches, and the kind of salads people actually get excited about. Add a DJ and a sax player for some sunshine-soaked soul, and let the frosé flow.
Guests drift from dessert to the pool without missing a beat — the new terrace connects straight to the action. Expect inflatables, frozen rosé, and just enough mischief.
Grace & Stephen’s crew absolutely nailed the vibe. It’s elegant chaos in the best possible way. 🦩🎉🌿 #ChateauRigaud #PoolPartyGoals #FrenchWeddingWeekend

This wedding was a joy from start to finish—fun-filled, vibrant, and utterly unforgettable. Grace embraced every moment of the planning and the celebration itself, curating a truly VIP weekend for her guests. From the exquisite wine tasting at Balestade Latonelle in Saint-Émilion to the legendary pool party the day after the wedding (photos coming in part two!), every detail was thoughtfully designed for maximum enjoyment.
She wasn’t afraid of colour either—choosing bold, joyful florals in shades of orange and apricot that beautifully complemented the generous flow of Aperol throughout the weekend. It was such a pleasure to host this brilliant group at the château—they really knew how to party.
