Wedding Photography at Château Challain

A Photographers prespective, from Vim VanHagel

Château Challain is one of those rare places that feels as if it were created specifically for love stories. As a wedding photographer who specialises in romantic, editorial, and destination celebrations across France, I always find new inspiration in the château’s majestic architecture, warm, soft light, and the unmistakable fairytale atmosphere that is the feeling of this castle in France.

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of photographing many weddings and elopements at Château Challain, and each one has been entirely its own story.
