In the heart of France, Lydie and Michael’s documentary wedding film in Chartres began at the iconic Notre-Dame de Chartres Cathedral. Indeed, this Gothic gem, an architectural marvel and pillar of French history, furthermore provided a backdrop of astonishing beauty to every captured moment. Its celebrated stained glass windows and ancient aura created a unique atmosphere.

 

We invite you to immerse yourself in a first look at their special day: Lydie & Michael’s Wedding Teaser in Chartres.

 

THE CEREMONY IN CHARTRES: THE SOUL OF OUR DOCUMENTARY FILM

Lydie, radiant in her minimalist design wedding dress with Chantilly lace details, a creation by @millanova acquired from @lamarieecapricieuse, exuded a singular beauty. It was a grace found only in truly momentous occasions. Lydie’s impeccable makeup, by @larissabeautyparis, enhanced her natural glow.

 

Subsequently, her entrance, hand in hand with her father, towards a moved Michael, was an instant captured with cinematic sharpness. Certainly, only our documentary wedding videography at @nicobastacinema can offer such quality. Thus, every step and every glance was immortalized with long, perfectly focused shots that reveal the authenticity and depth of emotion.

 

The religious ceremony was a display of profound cultural and spiritual connection. Lydie’s Vietnamese family, with their ancestral melodies, contributed a layer of meaning and auditory beauty. The priests, for their part, led a personalized and moving ceremony. Clearly, every word and ritual went straight to Lydie and Michael’s hearts. Furthermore, thanks to our impeccable audio quality, we captured every vow and every note. That is to say, they resonated with the clarity of the present moment, immersing the audience in a complete sensory experience.

CELEBRATING AT CHÂTEAU BARTHÉLEMY: THE CONTINUITY OF THE DOCUMENTARY WEDDING

After sealing their love, Lydie and Michael emerged from the cathedral and were received by the impressive Château Barthélemy, a venue that encapsulates French elegance and history. The entrance to the château was a vibrant tribute to Lydie’s heritage. Indeed, a majestic Chinese lion dance show by @parislionsport infused energy and color into the celebration, honoring their cultural roots with respect and joy.

 

This milestone was documented by us at @nicobastacinema with our Sony FX3 cinema cameras. This equipment, it should be noted, symbolizes our alliance with cutting-edge technology. Furthermore, on this occasion, it was enhanced by a professional Sigma zoom lens, provided by the brand itself for testing at an event of this magnitude. Such a privilege underscores the international prestige we have cultivated. What’s more, this distinction positions us as a benchmark for brands seeking artistic mastery and technical expertise.

REVIEWS THAT INSPIRE: THE ESSENCE OF DOCUMENTARY WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY

The words of Lydie and Michael, shared after their experience with @nicobastacinema, are the truest reflection of our commitment to excellence and the essence of documentary wedding videography:

 

Firstly, Lydie, with a vision that values authenticity, shared her experience:
“We were lucky to have Nico and Fernanda with us for our WE wedding in France. From the moment we discovered their work, we fell in love with them – it was an obvious choice to bring them over, even from abroad. Throughout this adventure, they have been irreproachable: the exchanges have always been fluid and friendly, and their discretion during the wedding has been more than appreciated. And what can I say about the film… a magical memory, everything we had hoped for and more. The picture quality is fabulous, every important moment is there, and the music is a perfect accompaniment. You get the feeling that this is a real report, full of emotion, sincere and true to what you experienced – without any gimmicks or awkward or forced staging on screen.”

On the other hand, Michael, with his perspective as a DJ and audiovisual expert, summarized it thus:
“Nico and Fernanda were incredible. We had the chance to work with them for our wedding and we couldn’t be more happier with their work. Our movie was absolute cinema and we will cherish their work forever.”
