Catherine & Philip’s Elegant Norwegian Wedding at Royal Mougins Golf Club, South of France
As a South of France wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky to capture countless beautiful love stories across Provence and the French Riviera — but Catherine and Philip’s celebration at the Royal Mougins Golf Club was something truly special. This elegant Norwegian couple brought style, laughter, and a lot of heart to their unforgettable two-day wedding celebration in the sun-drenched south.
Day One: The All-White Rehearsal Dinner
The festivities began with a relaxed rehearsal dinner, where guests dressed in all white — a perfect nod to the Riviera’s effortless chic vibe. Catherine stood out gracefully in a soft blue dress, while Philip matched her energy in blue trousers and a crisp white shirt.
It was an intimate evening filled with joy, anticipation, and toasts under the warm Provençal sky. (See a few highlights from the evening below.)
Day Two: Getting Ready in Style
The next morning, excitement filled the air as Catherine slipped into her Pronovias wedding gown, paired with iconic Louboutin shoes — white satin with the signature red sole. The morning light in the villa’s suite made every moment glow.
A Heartwarming Ceremony in the Olive Garden
The ceremony took place in the olive garden of a nearby villa, surrounded by fragrant blooms and the soft hum of summer. Rows of white chairs adorned with lilac hydrangeas and matching ribbons created a dreamy Mediterranean setting.
A Norwegian priest led a touching and heartfelt service, blending emotion, faith, and the couple’s deep love story.
Portraits Among Provençal Beauty
After the “I dos,” we took a short stroll through the villa gardens for an intimate newlywed photo session — the light, the olive trees, and their joy made every frame timeless.
Poolside Dinner and a Wild Celebration
Back by the pool, guests were waiting under a white tent, beautifully decorated for dinner — a thoughtful touch to shield everyone from the bright southern sun. Heartfelt speeches, laughter, and clinking glasses filled the air, followed by spontaneous dancing on tables and one of the wildest parties I’ve seen this year!
The evening ended with a stunning white wedding cake, decorated with delicate flowers — the perfect sweet finale to a magical celebration.
Final Thoughts
Catherine and Philip’s wedding at Royal Mougins Golf Club was a perfect reflection of their personalities — elegant, joyful, and full of life.
