A wedding in the South, drawn from life
Wine estates, mas among vineyards and garrigue, venues by the lagoons or the sea: around Montpellier, weddings are lived outdoors for much of the day. I set up my watercolour table close to your guests and draw from the ceremony through to the evening.
I work in Montpellier and throughout the Hérault, around Sète, Nîmes, Uzès and the Camargue, and more widely across Occitanie. Based in Paris, I travel to your wedding: travel costs are set out in the quote.
Case study: Domaine des Moures
At Domaine des Moures, in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, I accompanied a wedding from the outdoor ceremony facing the sea to the evening under the large marquee. Guests came to look at the drawings displayed on my table before leaving with their own.
“Thank you! A real pleasure working with you.”
