A love story at @bastidedurou inspired by Alain Delon’s films by the French Riviera. — Love is the most powerful driver. It overcomes all, always. This is one of the reasons I am so grateful for my job—it is an absolute luxury to be surrounded by good vibes, joy, love, union, hope, harmony, and community.

This styled shoot was a tribute to the effortless French Joie de Vivre, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bastide Du Roy. Every detail was designed to celebrate the venue’s timeless elegance, with a focus on refined simplicity. The mirror arch, inspired by Anish Kapoor’s sculptures, seamlessly blended modern sophistication with natural beauty, reflecting the enchanting surroundings.

The bridal look, crafted in collaboration with Divine Atelier, embodied femininity and contemporary elegance. Flowing fabrics, minimalist silhouettes, and soft, romantic waves echoed the warmth of the French Riviera, creating an ethereal aesthetic that felt both effortless and refined.

Bastide Du Roy’s historic charm played a central role in shaping the shoot’s ambiance. With its lush gardens, centuries-old olive groves, and beautifully restored architecture, the venue provided a naturally stunning setting that needed little embellishment. The team embraced a minimalist design approach, incorporating warm, golden hues to mirror the late summer glow of the South of France.

Beyond aesthetics, the shoot was a testament to collaboration and creative synergy. Months of meticulous planning came to life as vendors, artists, and visionaries worked in harmony, transforming an idea into an unforgettable experience. It was more than just a photoshoot—it was a celebration of artistry, passion, and the magic that happens when love and creativity intertwine.
