Oliver Saillard, wedding photographer near Chalindrey
As a wedding photographer in Langres since 2018, I’ve naturally had the opportunity to cover several weddings in Chalindrey. That was especially true for my very first wedding!
And yes, the photo of the children lying on the floor—which you’ve probably already seen on my website or social media—was taken in the recreation room at Chalindrey!
I also photographed Amélie and Ghislain’s wedding at the Chalindrey Church before they headed to La Ferme Sainte-Anne at the foot of Langres.
If you’re getting married soon in Chalindrey, in Haute-Marne, or elsewhere, perhaps I could be your wedding photographer?
Océane and Clément: A Railroad Workers' Wedding in Chalindrey
What’s the first stereotype that comes to mind when you hear the name Chalindrey? The train station? Railroad workers? That’s right! Océane and Clément are two railroad workers from Chalindrey, and they decided to get married there on July 24, 2021. Just goes to show, stereotypes can be spot-on sometimes.
Before meeting up in Chalindrey, Clément’s day began in the charming village of Chaudenay, at his parents’ house, where he got ready.
Océane, for her part, started in Chalindrey to have her hair done, before heading to her parents’ house in Balesmes-sur-Marne to continue her preparations.
The couple then continued their journey through the southern part of Haute-Marne, arriving at the Jardin de Silière in Cohons, where they had made a reservation to take some couple photos. However, I don’t think they had anticipated the torrential rain that came down on us at that moment. Thanks to the owners’ kindness, we were able to use the living room for the photos, which—a blessing in disguise—allowed Clément to play the piano for Océane, a truly romantic moment.
After that wonderful moment, the couple joined their guests at the Chalindrey town hall, where they were able to formalize their civil union in a very emotional ceremony—especially for Océane, who had more than a few tears in her eyes.
The civil ceremony was followed by a religious wedding at the church in Chalindrey. The ceremony was led by a fantastic priest: he ended the service with a selfie with the newlyweds, under the watchful eye of the Virgin Mary. The weather in the Haute-Marne was definitely unpredictable that day. While the sun was shining brightly during the ceremonies, hail began to fall just as the couple was leaving the church. As everyone waited impatiently for the newlyweds, hail suddenly came down on them, forcing them to go back inside. After this little mishap, the beautiful exit finally took place a few moments later, with the happy couple under the bride’s umbrella.
After the rain had passed, the reception was held outdoors in Saint-Broingt-le-Bois, where the day came to a close, as the newlyweds and guests then headed inside to kick off the wedding celebration. It was a fantastic time, which began with an amazing first dance featuring some pretty acrobatic lifts. Then the party really took off, fueled by a lively atmosphere on the dance floor and a magnificent train-shaped cake—perfectly in keeping with the theme!
I’d like to thank Océane and Clément for this wonderful day, for their trust, and above all for their fabulous cheerfulness, which filled this wedding with joy.
Océane and Clément also did an engagement photo shoot; you can see a few photos from it here.
