A five-day Lebanese wedding celebration welcoming guests from across the world to Château de Vallery
Natalie and Ibrahim chose France to gather their families and friends for an extraordinary five-day wedding at the historic Château de Vallery.
Guests arrived from around the world to take part in a celebration that unfolded gradually across several days, where Lebanese warmth met the timeless atmosphere of a French château.
The days began with intimate gatherings and relaxed evenings in Burgundy, allowing everyone to settle into the rhythm of the celebration before the wedding day itself.
On the day of the ceremony, the château came alive with music, laughter and vibrant energy, as more than 170 guests gathered to witness Natalie and Ibrahim exchange their vows.
The celebrations continued long after the wedding day, ending with a sun-filled farewell brunch by the pool, one last moment together before everyone began their journey home.
Throughout the weekend, my role was to quietly document these moments as they unfolded, capturing the atmosphere, the movement and the emotion of a wedding that felt both grand and deeply personal.
