Laetitia KLOPOCKI - Dordogne destinAtion wedding photographer
Featured in Fine Art & Luxury Wedding Photography
I am Laetitia Klopocki, a wedding photographer based in the South West of France, near Bordeaux, Toulouse and Dordogne. My style is luminous, natural and timeless – a fine art approach that combines elegance, sensitivity and storytelling.
If you are a couple who values authenticity and beauty, and you want your photographs to reflect the emotions and atmosphere of your wedding day, then I am the photographer for you. I don’t believe in stiff smiles or artificial poses. Instead, I gently guide you to feel at ease, so that your images reveal your true connection, your elegance, and the poetry of the moment.
Most couples wonder:
✨ Will our wedding photos capture who we really are?
✨ Will our gallery feel unique, refined and meaningful to us?
✨ Will we feel comfortable in front of the camera?
My answer is simple: on your wedding day, you should focus only on what matters – celebrating your love, enjoying your guests, the food, the music, the atmosphere you have carefully created. While you live those moments fully, I capture them with discretion and artistry.
What I want for you is a collection of photographs that feel like art pieces – luminous, emotional, timeless memories you will cherish for a lifetime.
It’s your story, your elegance, your love. Let me tell it through my lens.
The Dordogne is one of France’s most enchanting destinations for château weddings, especially for couples from the UK seeking romance, authenticity, and timeless beauty. With golden stone villages, winding rivers, secret gardens and historic châteaux, this region offers a dreamlike backdrop to tell your love story.
I’m Laëtitia Klopocki, a fine art wedding photographer based in the South West of France, passionate about capturing weddings in Dordogne’s châteaux filled with soft light, genuine emotion and elegant details.
What Makes Château Weddings in Dordogne So Magical ?
- Stone courtyards, ancient architecture, and gardens that glow at sunset.
- A relaxed yet refined atmosphere: French gastronomy, vineyards, local charm.
- Accessibility for UK couples: major airports in Bordeaux, Toulouse, Limoges; charming guest-houses and easy logistics.
- Styled celebrations: from intimate ceremonies to multi-day chateau events.
My philosophy as a Dordogne destination wedding photographer
Your wedding is not a production.
It’s a living, breathing story — full of emotion, movement and intimacy.
I believe in letting your day unfold naturally. My role is to observe with grace, and to photograph what is real: the light falling on your dress, the warmth of a touch, the laughter shared over wine.
My work is poetic, minimalist and intentional — guided by emotion, and always rooted in your truth.

Reviews from my English-speaking couples
"What can I say... firstly THANK YOU Laetitia! Laetitia jumped in to save our wedding day. She spent the whole day with us captureing every moment of our special day. We wanted the traditional wedding photos as well as more candid photos of the day - let me tell you -she is the utlimate professional. She was always willing to provide advice on our poses and positions and most importantly she has been patitent and kind with us and our families. If you're British or American, Laetitia speaks very good English."

"Laetitia is very professional, friendly and ponctual. We live in London but celebrated our wedding in Montauban (France) so we couldn’t meet Laetitia in person before the Day D yet she understood very well our multi cultural union and was able to blend with the English side and French side so easily because she speaks English very well. We love her black&white portraits style. She edited and sent all the pictures within a mont. Will definitely recommend her for a wedding or any event."

— Katie & James

Her presence is gentle, her eye is magic, and her work speaks directly to the heart.”

✍️ FAQ – Dordogne Château Destination Weddings
Q: Do you only photograph at Château de Raysse?
A: No. While Château de Raysse is one of my favorite venues, I regularly photograph in many other beautiful châteaux across Dordogne and the Lot. Each château has its own unique atmosphere—some rustic, others grand and refined. My fine art approach adapts to every venue, always focusing on elegance, light, and timeless emotion.
Q: Why do UK couples love Dordogne for their weddings?
A: Dordogne offers everything British couples dream of:
Accessibility: flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham to Bordeaux, Toulouse, or Bergerac.
Atmosphere: charming medieval villages, vineyards, golden light, French lifestyle.
Venues: authentic castles and châteaux full of history, perfect for unforgettable ceremonies and receptions.
Cuisine & wine: gastronomy that elevates every wedding celebration.
Q: How does the legal side of a French wedding work?
A: Many UK couples choose to complete the legal civil ceremony in their local town hall in England, then travel to Dordogne for a symbolic or religious ceremony in a château. This makes the planning process easier while keeping the French celebration purely emotional and beautiful.
Q: How do you support couples coming from abroad?
A: I provide full bilingual guidance (English & French). I help you with:
- recommended timelines for château weddings (based on light),
- trusted local vendors (florists, planners, caterers),
- advice on accommodations for guests,
- coordination with the venue staff.
My goal is to make the process smooth and enjoyable, even from a distance.
Q: What style of photography do you offer?
A: My style is fine art, light-filled, and elegant. I focus on natural emotions, timeless portraits, and delicate details. Whether it’s a château courtyard at sunset, or the quiet elegance of a candlelit dinner, I create images that look like they belong in an editorial magazine, yet remain authentic to your story.
Q: How many hours of coverage do you provide for château weddings?
A: Most couples book between 10 and 14 hours, covering everything from the bridal preparations in château suites to the evening celebrations. I also offer multi-day coverage if you want rehearsal dinners, pool parties, or brunches photographed.

A: A full-day château wedding usually delivers 600–800 carefully edited images. You will receive:
an elegant private online gallery for easy sharing,

low-resolution versions optimized for social media,
optional fine art album to treasure your memories in print.
Q: Do you travel outside Dordogne?
A: Yes. While Dordogne is my specialty, I also photograph château weddings in Bordeaux, Lot, and throughout the South of France. If you are planning a destination wedding anywhere in France, I would love to discuss how I can capture it.
Q: What is the investment for a château wedding in Dordogne?
A: My collections start from €1,800 for a full-day coverage in Dordogne (8 hours). Every wedding is unique, and I offer different options depending on your needs—albums, multi-day coverage, or second photographers. I’ll send you a bespoke brochure upon inquiry.
