Laura & Ian came from Texas and chose the French Riviera to celebrate their Wedding in an intimate and elegant setting, surrounded by 73 of their closest loved ones.
Their dream came true on Wednesday June 3rd, 2026, in the timeless gardens of La Bastide du Roy, above Antibes.
From a First Look with Laura's father to the Ceremony in the Music Garden, their guests moved through a single, unhurried day: a Welcome Drink in the French Garden, an open-air Cocktail beside the pool, a Dinner in the Court of Honor as the sun set over the estate, and a celebration that carried on until the early hours.
On the morning of the wedding, Laura got ready at the Bastide, surrounded by the women closest to her. The hours passed slowly, filled with laughter, tender gestures, and quiet emotion, as the estate came to life below.
Then came the First Look with her father. He turned, saw his daughter, and held her in his arms, a long, moving embrace before he took her hand and walked her toward the Ceremony.
While the estate filled with the sounds of the day, Ian slipped away to get ready with his groomsmen. A shirt buttoned, a jacket adjusted, a last glance in the mirror. A joyful, excited moment before joining the Ceremony.
Guests arrived at La Bastide du Roy as the afternoon light softened over the gardens. A Welcome Drink under the plane trees of the French Garden, and the first moments of sharing and togetherness.
The Lay Ceremony was held outdoors, in the Music Garden. Officiated by Alex, a close friend of the couple. It was one of the most heartfelt moments of the day. Intimate, sincere, and poetic, it touched each guest through the power of words and the beauty of the setting.
While the group portraits continued in the gardens, the cocktail hour opened in the Pool Garden to the sound of The Kingsmen. French classics, Piaf and Aznavour drifting over the water, and the whole estate suddenly alive.
As the light turned golden over the estate, Laura & Ian stepped away to the Spanish Garden. There, away from the celebration, they read each other their private vows, an intimate moment, captured by Rémi Dupac.
In the Court of Honor, the tables waited. Candlelight, fairy lights strung overhead, and the flowers from the ceremony brought over to bloom a second time. A setting by La Blonde & Le Barbu, photographed in the last of the daylight, before the first guest arrived.
Laura & Ian entered the Court of Honor to Van Morrison, and opened the dinner with their first dance. Then came a dance between Laura and her father, and Ian and his mother, surrounded by their guests, looking on.
Dinner was served as the sun went down behind the estate, a Provençal menu by Perche & Giraud, speeches between the courses, and The Kingsmen taking the floor once more as the evening stretched on.
Just before midnight, the Champagne Tower was poured and the Pavlova cut, the last sweet moment before the dance floor opened.
At midnight, the dance floor opened and the Court of Honor filled. It stayed that way long into the night, until the last song played and the Bastide went quiet.
