La Forêt de la Mémoire

Wedding film of Jess&Luke / France

Destination Wedding in Normandy – France

“La foret de la momoire” is the video portrait of Jess and Luke, a couple based in New York who asked us to document their wedding in Normandie past August. We spent five days with them and their families in the Old Chateau Le Mont Epinguet (Normandy – France). Making this video has become a deeper experience for us; sharing a week with Jess and Luke families made us become part of their memories. We were no longer there to document the wedding event, but to tell something more intimate of their lives.

DESTINATION WEDDING IN FRANCE

Destination wedding in France | Divonne les Bains

Alia & Bahaa 15.08.2015

Who does not dream of getting married in France? In 2015 we visited, for a Saudi Arabia Wedding, the part of the France closest to Switzerland, precisely in “Château de Divonne“.
This traditional castle dominates the town of Divonne-les-Bains, built at the beginning of the 11th century, the castle has been restored on 18th and 19th centuries by La Forest Divonne family.

This destination wedding in France was a great experience: the wedding was very international with people coming from all over the world and it was the first time we filmed a muslim wedding. We met Alia and Bahaa thanks to our dear friend photographer Magnus Bogucki. (Make sure you check him)

We attended a special ceremony, made of music and prayers. The spouses seal up their love without an officiant, the ceremony is fast, intense and easy. As a Muslim marriage, it was not served alcohol, but this did not make the party less fun for these guys.
