Justine & Kévin's wedding at the Domaine des Tours Vauquelin, Normandy

Justine and Kévin were married on 8 August 2026 at the Domaine des Tours Vauquelin, in Putanges-le-Lac, Orne. Stone buildings, a courtyard that feels like a village square and a summer day in the Suisse Normande: I filmed their wedding, and here is how the place shaped their film.

A stone estate in the Suisse Normande

The estate lies at La Fresnaye-au-Sauvage, in the commune of Putanges-le-Lac, on the three hectares of a group of stone buildings. From the drone, everything is arranged around the courtyard: long brown-tiled roofs, pale paths, olive trees in planters, and the Norman countryside all around.

For a wedding film, that layout is a real gift. You go from the courtyard to the gardens and the hall in a few steps, and each moment of the day has a different setting within reach of the camera.

Filming a wedding in the middle of August

On 8 August the sun climbs high and the midday light is strong. The pale stone and paths bounce it onto faces. So I place the important moments in the shade of the buildings and trees, where skin stays soft and eyes stay visible.

The reward comes late in the day. The sun drops, the stone warms up and the gardens turn golden. That is the moment I keep for the couple's images.

The veil, against the light

The image that sums up their film comes down to one gesture: a kiss under the veil, the sun behind, the fabric lifting. A shot like this takes seconds to set up and plays with the wind. I stand facing the light, expose for the faces and let the veil do the rest.

A film that tells the whole day

A wedding film is built in the edit around what was really said and lived: the vows, a speech, a fit of laughter. The main film runs 8 to 15 minutes depending on the package. The full ceremony and a vertical reel of 20 to 40 seconds come with it, in 4K.

Wedding videographer in the Orne and Normandy

Studio SB is based in Mayenne, a few minutes from the Orne. Alençon, Domfront and Bagnoles-de-l'Orne are under an hour's drive, and I also film in the Perche and the Suisse Normande. The Essential Package is €1,400 and the Full Day Package €1,750, drone included depending on the venue and permissions.
