A Dreamy Provincial Farm Wedding in the South of France

Let’s discuss Al and Alyssa’s incredible destination wedding at The Farm in Provence, South of France! Nestled in Grasse (perfume capitol of the world) among olive trees, lavender fields, and rolling hills, this dreamy venue set the perfect stage for their rustic yet romantic celebration. If you’re dreaming of a South of France destination wedding, keep reading for some serious inspiration.




Getting Ready for Forever Before their “I dos,” the couple spent some time soaking in the beauty of Grasse and the surrounding areas.  They met up with us in the Provence area to do a quick pre-wedding session amidst the blooming lavender fields which turned into a full countryside adventure (we’re talking Google Maps, U-turns, and learning how to drive on French highways) but the shots were so worth it.  They had so many fun excursions planned for their guests including a tour of the world famous perfume factory, Parfumerie Fragonard, and a delicious welcome dinner at Le Paddock.




Provincial Vibes and Lavender Dreams The ceremony at The Farm in Provence was an absolute show-stopper. The grounds of this farmhouse are right out of a Monet painting surrounded by cypress and olive trees with wild flowers and lavender in full bloom. The entire day had that “just stepped into a dream” feeling, perfectly planned by AMV Weddings. With stunning florals by La Maison Dautel and the warm Provence air, it felt like everyone had been transported to a true French fairytale.




As the night fell, guests were treated to a feast by Traiteur Ruth Williams, complete with French pastries and a champagne tower under twinkling lights. The vibe? Quaint French farm turned into a rave with ALL the food. 




If you’re planning your own luxury destination wedding in the South of France, let Al and Alyssa’s day inspire you to mix in the local charm, epic scenery, and a touch of adventures!

We believe destination wedding photography should feel both timeless and deeply personal. Our couples come to us for imagery that captures not only how their day looked, but how it felt, the energy, emotion, and story that live far beyond a single day. Based in Tucson, Arizona, we photograph weddings across the state and beyond, from the artistic desert of Tucson and Tubac, to the vibrant cityscapes of Phoenix and Scottsdale, and the sweeping landscapes of Sedona. The majority of our weddings are destination clients…couples who choose Arizona as their backdrop or invite us to follow their story wherever it unfolds. We do work with a quite a few local couples hailing from Tucson, Phoenix, and Scottsdale, as well. Each year, we photograph a limited number of destination weddings across the U.S. and internationally, from California’s oceanfront celebrations to European villas and countryside estates. We limit our out-of-state destination weddings to just two to four per year as we also participate in editorial shoots and fashion weeks. While we love to travel and create art in beautiful new places, this approach allows us to give 100% of our attention and creativity to every couple who entrusts us with their story. Our approach blends fine-art editorial imagery with genuine storytelling. Whether we’re photographing a Tucson destination wedding at The Tanque Verde Ranch or Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain, a sunset ceremony in Hawaii, or a romantic weekend in the Italian countryside or Lake Como, our goal is to craft images that feel elegant, emotional, and enduring. Every photograph is taken with legacy in mind, moments that will one day live in heirloom wedding albums, printed and passed down through generations. For us, photography isn’t just about beautiful images…it’s about preserving the emotional heartbeat of your wedding day. It’s about making sure your day was stress free and enjoyable so you could be present with all of your friends and family. Wherever your love story takes you—Arizona, Hawaii, Italy, France or beyond—we’re honored to capture it in a way that feels both cinematic and entirely your own.
