Dancing into the night
As night fell, the celebration came alive with heartfelt speeches, energetic dancing, and plenty more wine. It was one of those evenings where time seems to slow down — filled with laughter, emotion, and unforgettable moments.
Château Rigaud proved to be the perfect setting for Steve and Marisa’s dream wedding, and capturing their story was a privilege I’ll always cherish.
