Wedding at Col des Aravis: Camille & Lucas with Mont Blanc as Their Backdrop
On August 19, 2026, Camille and Lucas celebrated their wedding in the French Alps, surrounded by the charm of traditional Alpine villages and the breathtaking landscapes of Col des Aravis, with Mont Blanc as their backdrop.
It was a summer wedding that beautifully combined elegance and authenticity, where the grandeur of the mountains accompanied every meaningful moment of their story. From their first look to their wedding portraits overlooking the peaks, each part of the day had its own unique atmosphere.
A First Look at Sainte-Anne Chapel
Camille and Lucas chose to see each other for the first time on their wedding day in front of Sainte-Anne Chapel, at Col des Aravis.
Surrounded by Alpine meadows and mountain scenery, this charming little stone chapel provided a beautiful and distinctive setting for their first look.
Camille wore a wedding dress adorned with delicate floral embroidery, complemented by a long, flowing veil, while Lucas chose a three-piece suit in warm terracotta tones. An elegant combination that harmonised beautifully with the natural colours of the surrounding landscape.
It was a moment just for the two of them, away from the excitement of the preparations, where a few exchanged glances and spontaneous gestures were enough to reveal their connection.
A Civil Wedding in Praz-sur-Arly, Followed by a Religious Ceremony in Megève
After their first look, Camille and Lucas made their way to Praz-sur-Arly Town Hall to officially celebrate their union.
Their civil ceremony marked the beginning of a new chapter in their story, before they headed to Megève to continue the celebrations.
At Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church, in the heart of the village, they gathered with their family and friends for their religious wedding ceremony.
With its remarkable architecture and solemn atmosphere, the church provided a truly special setting for their commitment to one another.
As they stepped outside, smiles naturally followed the emotion of the ceremony. A shower of confetti, exchanged glances and the newlyweds walking hand in hand down the church steps — the kind of memories that become even more precious with time.
A Wedding Couple Photoshoot Overlooking Mont Blanc
Back at Col des Aravis, we returned to the spectacular landscapes for which this region is so well known.
In the distance, the Mont Blanc massif stretched across the horizon, providing an extraordinary backdrop for Camille and Lucas's wedding portraits.
We made the most of this exceptional setting to create a series of photographs combining spontaneous moments with an editorial approach. Wide panoramic compositions allowed us to capture the immense scale of the mountains, while more intimate portraits revealed the tenderness of their interactions.
The wind catching Camille's veil, their silhouettes standing out against the mountain peaks, quiet moments of connection captured naturally… Each photograph found its balance between the presence of the couple and the beauty of the landscape.
As the light gradually changed, the mountains took on different tones and textures, giving the entire photoshoot an almost cinematic atmosphere.
A Wedding Reception at Les Rhodos, Col des Aravis
Camille and Lucas reunited with their guests at Les Rhodos, at Col des Aravis, to continue their wedding celebrations.
Overlooking the Mont Blanc massif, this Alpine chalet offers a truly distinctive setting for a wedding. Its traditional architecture, warm natural materials and surrounding mountain panoramas perfectly complemented the atmosphere of the day.
Combining warmth and elegance, this wedding brought together two elements we particularly love to photograph: the tenderness of shared moments and the powerful beauty of wide-open landscapes.
We would like to warmly thank Camille and Lucas for their trust and for allowing us to be part of such a wonderful day.
