Weddings, proposals and planning guides from Southwest France
This is where I share the things I’ve learned photographing weddings across Bordeaux, the Dordogne and the rest of Southwest France. Real experiences, practical advice, and a few stories from the days that stay with me.
If you’re planning a wedding in France or want to see what it’s like through the eyes of a British wedding photographer living in Bordeaux you’ll find everything below.
Noah and Carol’s Surprise Proposal at the Monument aux Girondins, Bordeaux
My first ever proposal shoot. Noah found me through Reddit, picked the Monument aux Girondins, and Carol had no idea until he was down on one knee.

Gavin Chapman · Wedding Photographer in France
I’m based in Bordeaux and photograph weddings across the Dordogne, Charente, Lot-et-Garonne and throughout France.
I work mainly with English-speaking couples from the UK, US, Australia, Ireland and beyond — people who want beautiful photographs of themselves and the people who matter most, on the day that matters most.
Available across France and Europe.
I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
