European elopement inspiration in the South of France
When it comes to dreamy destinations for a European elopement, the South of France is high on our list of top locations. There's something about the hazy golden light there that gives everything a magical glow, with beautiful backdrops and hidden gems to explore everywhere you turn. Today we're heading to the region's wheat fields and the picturesque village of Gordes for this elopement inspiration editorial, designed by Britt Jones Co. and captured by Amanda Lane Photography.
Over to Amanda: "This elopement editorial embodies every wonder within the South of France — from the vast wheat fields to the hidden corners of Gordes, our hearts sought to communicate the mystery and romance of two free spirits lingering in love and connection to one another. A groom with deep resolute pursuit and a bride finding strength in a 'yes' rooted deep within herself.
"In slowing down to capture these moments, I found the textures told their own story—the strength and stature of Gordes' stones against the fresh and fragile wheat fields. Blonde Et Le Barbu's delicate floral bouquet against Amanda James' nod to a historical dress silhouette. In every element, we see the harmony of new and old, a magical dance of contrast which seems to unfold effortlessly in these present moments as our couple moves from the lives they've always known to a new and wondrous future together."
