"Clémentine and Mark are a dream!! I had the pleasure of working with Clémentine for the past year and a half planning our wedding and we hired Mark for both photography one night and videography for the wedding.
Clémentine was quick to respond to every question and request throughout the process and found us the best vendors for our budget and style. She is also super friendly and obviously loves her job which makes the process easy and enjoyable.
As for Mark, guests could not stop raving about him and his technique! He has great energy and makes you feel like a celebrity when he takes your photo! He also gave great tips and tricks which resulted in fabulous shots. We’re finalizing our wedding video with him now and I’m so excited to share it with friends and family.
I could not recommend them enough! Professional and just great people all around. Thank you both for making our dream wedding come true!" Dominique & Greg, 2024

"Thank you thank you Clementine!!!! Seriously look no further if you're looking for an incredible wedding planner in the area. Clementine was fantastic to work with! She was a constant driving support for us as we planned our wedding at a distance in an area we didn't know. She made everything easy and I loved how honest and knowledgeable she was with her recommendations. The day itself (well should I say weekend! as we had three days of events!), ran so smoothly and seamlessly! I know there was a ton of behind the scene work that she was doing to ensure that it went well but no one would have been able to know because of how beautifully and perfectly everything went!! And that is a feat in itself!! I loved how she checked in, but not with any issues or questions on the day, but just to see how we were, as everything had already been discussed/figured out. It left us to just enjoy - which was so so important to me. Because of how well the planning went (and with everything figured out well ahead of time no less!!), everything was stress and worry free :) THANK YOU Clementine!!! I will miss our planning calls and time together! You made our dream wedding a reality! We can't stop saying how magical it was. Oh how I wished it had continued for several more days!!! So psst - If you haven't gotten it already from this review - Seriously go with Clementine!" - Molly & François, 2024

"We wanted to say a huge thank you again for everything you have done for us over the last 15 months. You have been there for us every step of the way, and we could not have asked for a more wonderful, warm, organised, attentive, responsive and just incredible in every way wedding planner. It was such a privilege to work with you, and we are so happy that we were able to celebrate our wedding with you and Mark on the day. Everyone at the wedding commented on your humour and professionalism, and everything over the weekend was simply perfect.
Mark was also incredible. We are so grateful to him for his attention to detail, his eye for the most incredible shots, and for his assertiveness in moving the ceremony location halfway through! He made us and our guests feel so comfortable and relaxed, and again everyone said how amazing he was. We are so excited to see the professional photos!
You are quite simply the most wonderful people and the ultimate wedding duo. We are going to miss not speaking to you every day, and I don’t know what I’m going to do without you in my life! But I really hope that we will keep in touch.
Also, your children are beautiful and so sweet – we’re so glad we got to meet them. What a family!" Rebecca & Tom, 2023

"We want to say a HUGE thank you to Clémentine and Mark!! It was truly a joy to work with the pair of you, both in preparation for and on our wedding day. You are truly a power couple!
We live in New York, so we knew planning a destination wedding would come with additional challenges. But from day 1, Clémentine’s warmth and approachability made us feel comfortable discussing every detail, big or small. She truly listened to our vision and ideas, offering insightful suggestions to help guide us where we weren’t sure (which was a lot!). Her attention to detail, from the early planning to the big day, allowed us to feel confident that the whole wedding weekend would go smoothly and nothing would be forgotten. From coordinating vendors to managing the timeline and budget, everything flowed seamlessly. She was meticulously on top of every detail, and really brought our vision to life.
We made a single one-week trip to France for planning purposes, and Clémentine arranged everything for us, including multiple catering tastings, wine tasting, venue tour, and make-up trial appointments, as well as a pre-wedding photoshoot with Mark. She organized all our contracts and was our single point of contact to all the vendors, which was SO easy for us (we can’t overstate how convenient this is). We had two close friends planning their weddings during the same year, and suffice to say they both wished they had a Clémentine instead of the planners that they hired!
Even though we had never done any professional photoshoots before, Mark’s friendly nature made us feel comfortable in front of a camera. He’s definitely a wedding pro and all our guests loved him! On the wedding day, he helped the groomsmen tie their bowties, he kept tissues in his pocket for a tearful bride (happy tears), and he even got the 2 year old to look at the camera during the family group shots. We also highly recommend taking Mark’s advice for the sunset photoshoot! You will not be disappointed. These are our favorite pictures of the whole day :)
We feel so lucky that we found this great wedding planning/photography duo. Clémentine and Mark we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding weekend absolutely perfect!" Natasha & Kevin, 2023

"A big thank you to Clémentine and Mark for planning and photographing our wedding!
We came across Awardweddings as we were searching for a wedding venue in the South West of France. We weren’t originally thinking of hiring a wedding planner, but looking back it was the best decision we made and we couldn’t imagine having done it without Clémentine! Mark’s photography styles were exactly what we were looking for, so it was an easy decision to work with each of them independently and an added bonus that they can come as a team.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process and wedding day itself, Clémentine was invaluable and it was like having a good friend guiding us through. Her vision perfectly matched what we had discussed, and she executed it to the highest quality whilst respecting our budget. We really appreciated her responsiveness and flexibility in her availability. On the day somehow Clémentine was in all places at once, but never in the way, ensuring everything ran smoothly and allowing us to soak in the day.
We were lucky to meet with Mark a few times before our wedding day, including a pre-wedding shoot, which helped us get to know each other and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Mark was at our venue the day before the wedding, scouting for the best locations and helping with final preparations. On the day he made everyone feel comfortable and gave lots of good advice. He made sure not to keep us away from our guests for too long during our couple shoots, so that we could also fully enjoy the day with our guests.
We will miss regularly talking to Clémentine and Mark, they are a fantastic couple and we would not hesitate to recommend them to any couple planning a wedding in the South West of France!" Katie & Peter, 2023
​
"Clémentine and Mark are quite literally the “dream team!” Clémentine was incredibly easy to deal with and so friendly from day one. She always put my mind at ease when I was worried. Her experience is second to none and she was always on hand to give advice. She listens and is always so understanding! She made the day run seamlessly!
We had Mark as our photographer & film maker and he was such a fantastic energy to have on the day! I hate having my photo taken on the best of days, but we barely noticed he was there! We had so much fun with him the morning of the wedding, and his knowledge made me less nervous on the day. If we were getting married again tomorrow we would pick you both again and again. We cannot thank you both enough and we loved working with you." Georgina & Con, 2023
​
"What a pleasure it was to work with Clémentine and Mark to ensure that our 3-day wedding celebration was magical. Prior to speaking with Clémentine, we had interviewed 2 other planners but came away with feelings of uncertainty. From the initial inquiry, Clémentine was extremely friendly and helpful. Her communication and organizational skills helped reaffirm our decision to work with AwardWeddings and we could not imagine having such a beautiful 3-days in the Ariège area without Clémentine's assistance. Mark was also a pleasure to work with. Not only is he highly skilled in his craft, Mark's calm yet decisive demeanor came in handy more than once between the pre-wedding shoot to the events on D-Day. We wholeheartedly recommend AwardWeddings and cannot wait to work with them again for our vow renewals in the future." Alex & Laura, 2023
​​
"Super Professional!
Everything and more you would want and expect from a wedding planner!
Clementine was recommended to us not only for her huge knowledge and expertise but also for her experience in dealing with international weddings. She is completely multi lingual and understands her clients needs and expectations dealing with couples from all countries. She is also the most personable person, charming and calming.
My wife and I are quite unique, Im from the UK with a strong Spanish background and my wife is from Iceland. We speak very little french and tbh couldn't have put this together due to the many hurdles including the obvious language barrier.
Now, this is where the amazing Clementine comes in!!!! She manages everything and I mean everything.... Costs, multiple options, logistics, crews, teams, catering, floral you name it she does it. Even the knife and fork options. All you have to do is speak with her and pick. If you have, which every couple has, a very specific request, just discuss it with her. She totally gets it.
I also love that she is with you for the whole day of you wedding into the late evening. You never see her or notice whats going on. But feel comforted that she is there, working hard to make everything seamless and perfect. Clementine is fabulous and her company and brand are perfect. Call her ASAP as she is super busy and booked well in advance." Ingunn & Adam, 2024

"Myself and my husband were extremely privileged to have Mark Ward as our videographer. From the moment we booked him he was so helpful and had so much time for us, despite having other weddings to do in the meantime. Mark was so much more than just a videographer on the day of our wedding. Every guest loved him, he made time for everyone! Even giving our young celebrant and a family member who was singing during the ceremony lots of helpful advice and words of encouragement. We really couldn’t have asked for anyone better to have help our special day be so relaxed and run so smoothly, everyone needs a Mark in their wedding for more reasons then one! We’ve received our teaser back that is absolutely beautiful, it sums up Marks professionalism and how much of a perfectionist he is. It’s everything we asked for. Allows us to see all the fine details and special moments that flew by in a blink of an eye. Really can’t speak anymore highly of Mark, and hope we cross paths in the future." Jamie & Rhodri, 2023
​
"Hello Mark - I just wanted to say the most heartfelt THANK YOU for being with us on our big day! I have never heard of a wedding photographer being so loved - literally the comment from some guests has been “Mark was my favorite person at the wedding”. G and I truly felt like we’d known you forever and you made everyone have so much fun and be so at ease. Anyway we are very grateful and couldn’t think more highly of you! thank you!" Kristin & George, 2023
​
"One of our guests summed up our wedding when she said, "This is the best wedding I've been to, including my own." Another close friend wrote to me, "Everyone has been asking me about your wedding, and my answer is basically the same, 'these guys set the highest standards I've ever seen for a wedding.' Virtually every time, you think, 'I'd change this or that or that could be better.' No, that definitely didn't happen at your wedding. It was absolute perfection."
I know the feelings of joy that we and our guests experienced would not have been possible without Clementine's meticulous planning. Clementine found excellent vendors who were willing to be flexible and work with our vision. In any large event planning, there is bound to be frustration and stress, but we were lucky to have Clementine who expertly took us through the process in phases and helped us identify alternatives if something didn't work out or if we were stuck in making a decision. For example, when we didn't understand how pricing for certain vendors was determined or why a contract was structured in a specific manner, Clementine took our feedback and worked diligently to get answers. This is the type of partnership one hopes for in a wedding planner.
Clementine curated a beautiful, elegant, and memorable experience for us. We had a themed cocktail and jazz reception on a Friday followed by the wedding on a Saturday and a brunch on Sunday. Every event, from the location to the flow of activities, felt effortless yet thoughtfully orchestrated. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner." Pierre & Paul, 2024
​​
"Having Clémentine plan our wedding was the best decision we made for the wedding! From the first meeting, Clémentine gave us the confidence that we could plan a French wedding remotely (from Australia). Through every stage of the process, Clémentine was prepared and across every detail. We had most of the major decisions made 7 months before with Clémentine's encouragement. That left us 6 or so months to slowly and carefully work through all the small details. Each time we had to do this, Clémentine did all the research and work beforehand so that all we had to do was make a decision.
Clémentine made the planning process as easy and stress free as a wedding could be. She was personally invested in every small detail and moved heaven and earth to get things done the way we wanted. We HIGHLY recommend using Awardweddings for any weddings in the south of France!" Amy & Franky, 2023
​
"Wow where do I start?! What a Husband and Wife team.
I'll start with Clémentine, Clémentine has been helping me plan our wedding for two years and a month ago we had the wedding we both dreamed off. I do not even know where to start with the list of compliments, first of all I could not have done this wedding with Clémentine, she was attentive, clever, patient, professional and so switched on picking up on every detail and every option we could explore. I thought I would be quite a chilled bride but I was wrong and ended up fussing over every detail and also changed my mind alot! Clémentine made me feel like I could do that and it was never a problem she would just say ok and find the solution. EVERYTHING was perfect and I mean everything, the flowers were exactly what I wanted, the food, the styling the whole vibe she managed to pull off without even meeting me once or being there, that is a truly talented wedding planner! Clémentine thank you so much for all your hard work and patience over these two years, it is so strange not opening my inbox and seeing your name. If Clémentine is free to help with your wedding SNAP HER UP you will have the most perfect stress free day!!!
And then Mark! The most lovely, chilled photographer in all of France! Mark was so great on the day, he captured our wedding perfectly, got snaps of all the amazing moments and emotions, he didn't miss one guest and the pictures are just incredible. Thank you Mark it hasn't gone a miss how hard you worked on the day, the pictures are proof and they are pictures we will treasure forever.
Awardweddings thank you for everything, couples you will not regret using this fantastic wedding power duo!!" Hally and Jack, 2021
​
"Clémentine & Mark are a fantastic husband/wife duo! They made our wedding in France feel like something truly out of a fairytale.
Clémentine - we cannot thank her enough for her tireless support. She’s incredibly professional, conscientious and patient. She found us the most beautiful venue and brought together our fantastic vendors!
Mark - we could not imagine working with a better photographer. He made us (and all of our guests) feel so comfortable on the day. And the photos are unbelievable! We are eternally grateful to him for capturing all of our special moments." Michelle & Louie, 2022
​
"Clémentine was our wedding planner for our wedding in May 2022, and we had only 5 months to plan everything for 120 guests, for 3 days! Living abroad, we could just not have done it without her. She's fluent in french and english which in our case was necessary as we are french and irish. Communication was clear, she's very kind and resourceful and all her suggestions for suppliers were perfect and thanks to her help we had the wedding of our dreams. It's just been perfect. Thank you again Clémentine. We also ask her husband to be our photographer and we are just amazed by the result, the movie of our wedding is spectacular. Thank you so much to both of you.
​
Johnny and I got married in May 2022, and Mark was our photographer. After many hesitations, we went for the package pictures+movie. Pictures are superb but the movie is absolutely amazing. Far above our expectations. It's gorgeous, so professional, beautiful atmosphere, music, images etc. It's honestly breathtaking. Very easy to communicate with. Mark feel free to share our movie with other couples if they have any hesitations. Thank you again. PS: Clémentine, his wife was our wedding planner, and it's also been the best choice we could possibly do!" Marie & Johnny, 2022
​
"I cannot recommend Awardweddings enough! Clémentine planned and executed our wedding with so much care, attention to detail, and diligence. She was communicative, reliable, and always ready to do whatever extra work or research was needed to make sure our wedding was everything we hoped for. She has a lovely eye for style and made incredible recommendations for how to structure the festivities and make the most of the venue. Her connection to the Ariège area and her network of suppliers were also amazing, and we were struck by how every single supplier she secured for us sang her praises and congratulated us on hiring the best wedding planner - and they couldn’t have been more right!
All this was especially impressive given she was in the midst of a post-COVID season that was an absolute marathon - she never dropped a ball or forgot a detail.
Above everything I was so moved by how personally invested she was in our wedding. Her energy and joy and commitment to our celebrations were palpable, in the lead up but especially during. Though both Clémentine and Mark were always professional and dedicated to the work they needed to do, they became an embedded part of our celebrations in a very lovely way." Mary & Clément, 2022
​
"We cannot recommend both Clémentine and Mark enough!
Planning a wedding abroad during a pandemic is not an easy task but Clémentine made the whole process completely stress free. Even with Covid postponements, we were never worried as we knew all the planning was in safe hands with Clémentine and she did not disappoint. In June 2022, we had the wedding of our dreams and it really was all thanks to Clémentine and her amazing planning skills. Every detail was planned perfectly and she made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Our guests are still telling us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to!
Clémentine's husband Mark was our photographer and videographer and he was absolutely fantastic on the day. I'm not usually someone who enjoys getting my photo taken (especially during a French heatwave!) but he was so patient and encouraging which ensured we got some great shots of our special day.
We are so happy that we chose Clémentine and Mark and if anyone is getting married in the South of France we really recommend that you do the same!" Cera & Luke, 2022
​
"From the first moment we spoke to Clémentine she made us feel confident she would plan our perfect wedding, as she seemed just as excited about planning it as we were.
Despite COVID forcing a postponement, Clémentine was always at hand to discuss changes (even very last minute ones) and was so positive throughout.
On the day, it felt like Clémentine and Mark (our photographer) were friends as they ensured the day ran smoothly making us feel comfortable and relaxed. They both went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day.
We would highly recommend Clémentine and Mark to anyone we know.
We just wanted to say thank you so much for the incredible photos, they are so beautiful and bring back such lovely memories. You both are so talented and make such an excellent team! Can’t say thank you enough." Gabrielle & Thomas, 2022
​
"Clementine, your help throughout the planning process was priceless and you definitely kept us on track. On d day, you took all the stress that had built up away. I know that there was lots of hard work and organising that went on in the morning but I was none the wiser. The whole day was just perfect.
Mark, our guests loved you as much as we did! You captured so many special moments, we’re not sure how you were in so many places at once!
Clementine and Mark you are an absolute dream team! We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to ensure our day was all we dreamed and more.
We’d highly recommend to any couples getting married in France!!" Sophie & Samuel, 2022
​
"Dear Clementine, Now the dust has settled we just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did to help us with our wedding. We had the best day ever and so much of that is down to all your hard work, for which we are extremely grateful.
From the outset you have been very efficient, responsive and organised and we have both felt comfortable throughout the process that we were in safe hands, which undoubtedly saved us a lot of stress. You understood our vision for the weekend and your choice of suppliers, caterers, band etc were all perfect. You were also a calm presence over the weekend itself and worked tirelessly during the setup as well as the actual afternoon/evening to make sure everything went smoothly. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you over the last year or so - as well as getting to know you - and we wish you all the best for the future. If any of our friends want to get married in France we would recommend using you without hesitation." Katy & Tom 2023
​
"We wanted to send you a note to sincerely thank you for all of your support with helping us create a beautiful wedding experience on Saturday.
Mark - I believe I could honestly write an essay filled only with feedback from our guests about you. You quite literally captured our hearts as well as our photos of the day. Not only are you absolutely brilliant at what you do, but you are such a kind, wonderful person who genuinely cared about our day. We have had a bit of a bumpy ride with our wedding coordinator/planner which shone through a bit on the day. You helped us to tie all of our event together seamlessly - you saved us + we are one of 20 who also believe this is true. We will also write many reviews to help spread the word of just how great you are.
Clémentine - thank you for providing us with super props and for helping is decide what would be best to use right at the start. I greatly appreciated your experienced feedback. Really, really much appreciated." Victoria & Matt, 2022
​
"Mark, thank you beyond words for such lovely photos... We are just amazed, you captured the tone and essence of our wedding perfectly! Victoria & Matt, 2022
​
"Mark! Wow! The photos are seriously wonderful - still haven't made our way through yet but so far just stunning! The attention to detail is magic. You're the best, we're so grateful and it's clear you've spent a lot of time on these." Katherine & Lewis, 2022
​
"Wow thank you so much for the photos, they are really beautiful, we are so happy with them!! We have never seen such beautiful wedding pictures!" Nathalie & Yann, 2022
​
"OMG Mark.... the film is incredible. IT'S PERFECT! Thank you so much, you've crammed so much in there and I LOVE the music!" Emily & Samuel, 2022
"Mark, We've just sat down with our morning coffee and have gone through the album and just want to let you know how over the moon we are! Thank you so much for your amazing work and for capturing our beautiful day. There are so many great shots and we can't wait to share them with everyone." Chalsie & Tom, 2022
​
"Clémentine: Totally perfect. For a wedding that was 3 years in the making it was an absolute pleasure to work with you. Not once did we feel stressed or forgotten even though you had a baby when we initially planned it and this year must have been the most testing yet with the number of postponements. You found the most amazing team and helped our vision come to life. You were so organised and nudged us in the right way when we were a little slow to respond. You made the whole event seem easy. All our guests said the whole weekend was perfectly organised and the band couldn’t speak more highly of you." Hannah & Teddy, 2022
​
"Thank you so so much for covering our wedding, you really made us relax and made it fun, which is what our wedding was all about! I also never realised Sam could be a romantic, so thanks for bringing that out in him!" Emily & Sam, 2022
​
"Based on the recommendation from Chateau Saint-Michel we contacted Clementine in 2018 to help us plan our wedding that was supposed to take place in the summer of 2019.
As we all know there was a pandemic outbreak that led us to postpone our wedding until 2022.
Through all the frustrating and dissapointing postponements Clementine kept us informed on what was happening and secured new dates with all suppliers.
On our big day Clementine had full control and made sure we could relax and focus on looking good for the pictures :-)
Clementine has a large network if suppliers, we would highly recommend her for any South if France wedding!" Unni & Espen, 2022
​
"Clémentine and Mark were fantastic in their services from our first call all the way until our wedding day. In many ways we couldn’t have done it without them and we greatly enjoyed working with them as their efforts and expertise made our wedding day very special. I couldn't recommend them enough, as they went above and beyond in almost every aspect." Sarah & Ryan, 2022
​
"Charlotte and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for capturing our wedding. We had a magical ceremony and evening, we are so grateful for everything you did.
All of our guests thought you were amazing and loved you being part of the party. You made the day very special and it was nice to have a friendly face helping move the day along. We also are very thankful that you managed to get those sunset twilight shots." Charlotte & Sam, 2022
​
"Dear Mark, Thank you for being such an incredible photographer and videographer. Your work is absolutely stunning and we are so delighted to have chosen you to capture the most special day in our lives.
Our guests are all amazed at how fantastic your photos and video are and they were also so complimentary about you and how friendly and approachable you were - they loved meeting you and chatting with you!
We hope to see you soon - perhaps to capture another special moment! Vanessa & Xavier, 2021
​
"Dear Clem & Mark, What a journey it has been! From the bottom on our hearts, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our wedding celebration happen. We are so grateful for your efforts, advice, resilience, motivation, comfort, patience, support - the list of words is ongoing. We know that planning a wedding in normal times is by no means easy, let alone in a pandemic and with the rescheduling of your 2020/2021 couples! Thank you so much for taking us on as new clients when you were already packed with weddings. Even in high pressured circumstances you kept your cool and your professionalism really reassured us throughout the whole process.
Mark - We are so grateful you were able to shoot our wedding! We loved having you there on our Big Day and to see you & Clem work together was such an inspiration. You gave us the most wonderful memories and without you both, it wouldn't have been possible. We wish you many more successful weddings in the future!! Love, Amanda & Toby, 2021
​
"Clementine, Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for everything you've done for us. You've really been incredible! We couldn't have done today without you - thank you for giving us hope during a tough year + being so flexible, positive and lovely to work with. Just the fact that you've done three weddings in a row shows how much of a legend you are and how much you care. Thank you, all our love." Estelle & Jordan, 2021
"I can't thank you enough for everything you both did to contribute to the amazing wedding we had. Mark, we absolutely loved working with you, you've been a dream!" Courtney & Otis, 2021
​
"Clémentine has always been super helpful and responsive, both in the planning stage and during delays and postponement caused by the pandemic. She kept us up to date with how things were proceeding, nudged us when we needed to action anything, and provided lots of great advice along the way." Ankita & Daniel, 2020
​
"Planning an international wedding is a daunting task, especially if you aren't fluent in (my case) French. I am a deep researcher in anything I tackle and after interviewing some planners, it became clear that Clémentine had integrity, honesty, an eye for design, and a mind toward keeping a budget. Many of the other planners I spoke with felt superficial, and were only interested in the glitz and glamour while Clem wanted to get to know US. That made all the difference.
We can't imagine planning our wedding without Clémentine and Mark. Her experience and relationships with other vendors were invaluable! It was a true collaboration and her recommendations were always spot on.
To be able to work with a husband and wife duo (wedding planner and photographer/videographer) allowed for us to have conversations about the flow of the day and how to best capture and share this important, yet fleeting moment in our life with intention.
They visited the venue for us, sending video, photos, and feedback. And when we were thinking of options for the ceremony location, they gave excellent advice based on their knowledge of what we valued and their on-the-ground experience. They (very smartly) suggested an engagement shoot in the lavender fields during our whirlwind trip to visit vendors before our big day--something that we never imagined possible-- which ended up being a highlight of our trip. Truly, an experience we'll never forget! Most importantly, we had the chance to get to know Mark and how he approaches shoots, so on our wedding day, he had our complete trust and had so much fun during our couples shoot!
I could go on about Clem and Mark, but suffice is to say that they are a genuine, down-to-earth, TALENTED, thoughtful couple, and it reflects in their work. Thank you for making our extraordinary day possible." Cassie and Sam, 2019
​
"We really want to say a huge thank you to Clémentine and Mark for all their work in the lead up to and for our wedding.
From finding our perfect venue and all the nearby suppliers to creatively turning our ideas into reality, Clémentine was truly amazing from start to finish. If you have doubts about needing someone on the day... trust us it's so worth it. We were able to relax and enjoy time with our friends and family because we knew it was all taken care of.
Mark was a superstar - we're very excited to see the final photos as it was completely clear that his artistic nature took over and he knew exactly what he was doing. We were very happy to meet with him and enjoy some drinks with the wedding party the day before because it meant everyone knew his friendly face and was at ease.
We contacted quite a few wedding planners across the south of France and some seemed a bit too stuffy for us. If you want a friendly, creative team who will go above and beyond then Awardweddings couldn't come more highly recommended from us.
We had so many comments on the both of you from our guests, so if we have any more friends planning weddings in south of France expect a call! " Sarah & Fahad, 2018
​
"We honestly couldn't recommend Clementine and Mark enough. They are the ultimate power wedding couple and worked seamlessly together throughout the ceremony. Clementine took the stress out of wedding planning, her professional and tenacious approach plus organisational skills put us totally at ease during the 10 month lead up and on the day. We would have been lost without her and are certain everything wouldn't have ran so smoothly and looked so beautiful without her guidance and experience. Hiring the Awardweddings will be the best wedding decision you ever make!
We mean every word!! And we absolutely adore the teaser video - so many great shots of the little touches and peoples emotions on the day - we're made up that Mark managed to capture it all! Can't wait for the big one.
​
Wow, what a fantastic video. We really really love it! Thanks so much Mark. You’re a genius!
OMG MARK!! Absolutely incredible! The shots are insane, the music is perfect, the flow, everything! You really are an editing genius. We could not be happier -- thank you so so much. We're heading off on our honeymoon, what a way to kick it off. How lucky we are to have had such a beautiful wedding thanks to Clementine and to capture it all forever, thanks to you. Guys, you're the best! " Carly & Ben, 2019
​
"I don’t even know where to start! We just simply can’t recommend Clementine and Mark highly enough. We wanted a small, intimate wedding with just our closest family and friends, beyond that I didn’t really have much of a vision for what I wanted the day to look or feel like. Somehow in the conversations we had with Clementine she captured exactly the atmosphere we wanted. When we saw everything come together I was completely wowed by how it felt and how beautiful it looked. She had the perfect recommendations for other vendors and was so helpful and responsive when we questions. Planning a destination wedding definitely adds a layer of difficulty - we weren’t able to see our venue in person, or meet with other vendors (florist, caterer, etc) but the end result was everything we could have ever wanted, and that's entirely due to Clementine.
And MARK! He just knew exactly what we needed on the day of our wedding. I was so touched by the care he took, and how comfortable he made everyone feel. One of the best parts of our reception was Mark taking photos of all the couples at the end of the night - totally impromptu, but so much fun and such a great memory to be able to share with all of our guests. He knew exactly how to capture all of the important details without intruding on the special moments, and made it clear throughout the day he was there for whatever we needed.
I’m so glad we chose to work with Mark and Clementine. Our day was perfect and they were such a huge part of that. If you’re getting married anywhere in the south of France - you are in the very best hands with these two." Alyssa & Ben, 2019

"Thank you so much to you both for making our day the most amazing day of our lives! The Domaine was one of the most beautiful places and impressed us even more when we arrived. Everything else from the transit and the winery, Carcassonne and of course the wedding (flowers, decor, FOOD!) was perfect.
Clémentine, you are a gifted planner and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the work you did for us from afar, your patience, your kindness.
Mark, your humour and talent made us so at home in front of your camera. You captured such striking and emotional moments, and for that we are forever grateful. The photos are INCREDIBLE!!!
Hugs to you both and a huge, sincere thank you for all that you did." Jennifer & Christian, 2019

"Where do I even start?! Mark and Clémentine are a great team and are an absolute delight to interact with! Being from the States, we sought to find a talented videographer in foreign land, a process which required extensive research and at times left us uncertain and somewhat hesitant of the unknown ahead. But after Clémentine’s consistently prompt, professional, and kind email exchanges (during the tail-end of her third pregnancy, might I add!) and after our first phone call with Mark, we felt as though we were speaking to an old friend! So charming, charismatic, and he speaks so eloquently that I honestly just want to frame everything he says and hang it on the wall haha! It’s gotta be the English chap within him! All of that hesitation of not knowing what to expect had just melted away and in short, all I can say is that Mark just makes you feel comfortable and even more, special. He wit, humor, and zealous manner of speaking assured us that we could not have found a more perfect person to film our special occasion. You can tell that he loves what he does and that he genuinely cares about what your end goal is. He cares about all the “little” details that make up the big picture, which we really appreciated because it is great to be working with someone who wants to combine both your vision and their own creativity/skills to make something magical.
When we met Mark, he only continued to exceed our expectations. He was calm, cool, collected, professional, and when he shoots his footage, he knows what looks good. He has a creative eye and a brilliant mind, but most importantly, his kind heart makes all the difference in your experience when working with him. He is very patient, knows how to perfectly balance your desires with his artistic vision, makes you feel beautiful and happy (which is very important when being photographed on your occasion—we have had some poor experiences in the past), and he doesn’t make you feel like he is counting the minutes on the clock so he can charge you extra in the end. He patiently stayed with us after the session to try to help us with something and made us feel like we were dear friends. You can just tell how genuine he is. Also, it was a bit chilly on the evening of our shoot and unprompted, offered me a jacket—so sweet and thoughtful and I won’t ever forget that. Thank you for making this a wonderful experience rather than making it feel like a business transaction. Again, his great personality made all the difference. Clémentine, you have a gem! And to top everything off- he presented us with a fantastic film from our session- which was the product of not only his many skills, but his fabulous personality. In his film, he was able to capture an air of genuine happiness, romance, playfulness, and it was not just because of us interacting us a couple, but because we were also thriving off of his positive vibes and kind words while guiding us. We have dealt with a number of photographers and videographers, and I say with confidence that Mark is (how they say in France) the “crème de la crème”! Look no further for your special occasion than this dynamic duo comprised of Mark and Clémentine! Book them. Now. I can go on forever, but at the end of the day, just know that when we say thank you, it means SO much more! Hope to work with you again soon! Hugs and kisses from the States! Until next time, dears! Xoxo" Suzy & Jon 2019

"Could not recommend enough! We enjoyed working with both Clémentine and Mark. The wedding planning process was calm and efficient from the first response email, pre wedding meetings and the day itself. I’m just sad we don’t get to do it all over again!! I enjoyed talking with them and for a business so busy you are still made to feel special and individual. Brilliantly done, highly organised, huge amount of knowledge/contacts and a great style." Gemma & Andy 2019

"Clementine and Mark have been amazing in planning our wedding and doing the videography. Clementine gave us complete peace of mind and was fantastic working with vendors and ironing out the creases. Problems were solved and ideas brought to life; all aspects of our day dovetailed together perfectly. Mark has done a great job with the videography and both are super efficient and personable. Memory makers at their very best!
Clémentine - amazing, amazing, amazing. Thank you so much for being patient, resourceful, organised and just making it all happen. You made it all run so smoothly and sorted out the odd problem on the day. All from a distance and on phone and email. Sev is super happy as am I. Will happily recommend you to anyone we know who are getting married in France.
Mark - fantastic at videography. The photographer really liked Mark too and said he was fantastic to work with. I also had some good chats with him on photography etc. The bridesmaids along with a slew of others spoke highly of Mark and their interactions. An all round nice guy!" Ed and Sevilay, 2018
​
"Mark, we wanted to write a quick note to you to say thank you for all your help on the day. Every single one of our guests have said how personable you were. We, and they, have never known such interaction with a photographer at a wedding before – but for all the very best reasons, it did feel like you were one of the guests and that they were disappointed you didn’t stay for breakfast the next morning!!! At no point was your contact ever taken as intrusion or inappropriate, instead, we were nothing but grateful for every comment, suggestion and every direction you gave.
Karl and I are very appreciative for all of your help, especially that which was well outside of the scope of your job – including helping deal with the celebrant and the caterer! We really felt having you there was an absolute bonus, and very, very pleased that you were prepared to just jump in and help. We really do feel it made a difference." Amy & Karl, 2019
​
"Our wedding in France would not have been possible without Clémentine! From the start everything was so well organised and planned, Clémentine has great knowledge of the whole process and suppliers who can deliver exactly what you require. She ensured each part of the day was thought about in great detail and gave lots of support and guidance, understanding the look and feel of what we wanted to create. Everything on the day went exactly to plan and we couldn’t of been happier with the styling and planning!" Emily & Chris, 2019
​
"Clementine was brilliant! The planning process was never a stress with her support. She really understood what we had in mind for our wedding, and really created everything we invisioned and more, her attention to detail and creative ways of using resources was just amazing. Our experience was incredibly special not only for us but for our guests too! As someone who isn't keen on having my photos taken Mark made it as comfortable as possible and for the most part he blended in as if he was a guest! Such a great experience!" Rebecca & Rob, 2019
​
"We were SO impressed by Mark's hustle and constant attention. Thank you especially for making the call on Golden Hour - if it weren't for you I think we would have missed that window of opportunity before dinner was served. And that little 30-40 minutes was a really special moment for Ollie and I - one of our favorites from the wedding and one that we'll never forget. Thank you for giving us that moment." Megan & Ollie, 2019

"Awardweddings did an amazing job handling complicated arrangements in France. Clementine was exceptionally efficient at managing the whole process, from the catering, through to decoration and entertainment, and most importantly organised a beautiful church celebration. Mark took stunning photos, he has great eye and is extremely passionate about his work. They make a fantastic team and we really enjoyed getting to know them." Kathryn & Ed, 2018
​
"Awardweddings have been invaluable in supporting our first year in the French wedding market. Mark and Clementine's knowledge and experience is second to none and their advice has been key in securing clients. The wedding package they tailored for us matched our vision for the chateau with the market they know so very well. The inspiration shoot they designed was absolutely stunning. They were able to secure contributions from the best possible local suppliers and the outcome was absolutely beautiful. Mark's photogrpahs and Clementine's beautiful styling have been fundamental to our success in this first year.
I would highly recommend this delightful husband and wife team to anyone starting out in the market and look forward to working with them and our new clients in the future." Owners, Chateau St Michel, 2019
​
"Clementine was amazing! Every step of organising our wedding was made so much easier and more efficent by her! Her local knowledge of venues, suppliers etc. was incredible and with her recommendations we ended up with spectacular suppliers for our wedding who were very good value, reliable and ultimately did a great job. On our wedding day Clementine was a god send for making sure that everything ran smoothly and no one bothered myself or the groom with questions. I would highly recommend her to everyone!" Natasha and Nick, 2019
​
"We worked with Clementine for just under a year to plan and deliver our wedding at Chateau St Michel in October this year. From engaging and dealing with local suppliers, styling and designing a day that was just perfect for us...right through to calming words and reassurance when they were needed Clem and her team really delivered. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them." Andrew & Gavin, 2019
​
"I highly recommend Clementine, anything we dreamt of for our wedding, she made it happen. She replied instantly to all my emails and communicated every detail with us making sure we were happy with everything. As we're living in Ireland and getting married in France, we needed someone who we could trust and Clémentine was amazing from beginning to end. The day ran so smoothly without any issues, she even made sure we didn't miss the incredible sunset that evening. It is a day I'll never forget." Anna-Leigh and Paul, 2018
​
"With the help of Clémentine, we had the small, intimate destination wedding of our dreams. The whole day was planned perfectly and the proposed vendors were all well informed on how everything should look. Her English is outstanding, and her communication through email and in person is immaculate, which is of paramount importance for planning a wedding from a distance. Her professionalism and kindness ensured a stress-free wedding for us". Anneleen & Victor
​
"Dearest Clémentine, thank you so so much for everything and for organising the most incredible and perfect weekend of our lives. It was honestly perfection and we can not thank you enough.

Attention to detail and local knowledge helped deliver the best day of our lives. We are still buzzing about it now, 6 weeks later.
Mark was amazing and was with us the full day, He wasn't intrusive at all and delivered the style of photos we wanted. I'm not a natural in front of the camera but he gave good advise and guidance so I was able to relax and just enjoy it. Great guy and the photos look amazing, he captured the day beautifully."

​
"All I can say is book her! Clementine was absolutely incredible every step of the way. She was so attentive to every detail and completely gave us the relaxed, rustic wedding we were after.
It could have been so tough planning a wedding in France when we don’t speak the language, didn’t know the area, and didn’t have a clue about planning a wedding! Clementine sorted everything for us and we fully trusted her. Her organisation and quick responses to emails made us feel like we knew what was happening at all times and she was definitely worth every penny. She found us a selection of trusted suppliers to work with and they were all incredible value for money. All our friends and family commented on how amazing the wedding week was and how relaxed we both were.
Trust Clementine. She was incredible and I think because we completely trusted her, we had a relaxed process - not only in France but in the build up to it. She made spreadsheets with everything on and knew exactly what she was doing to work in our budget.
Also, Mark was our photographer and he was fantastic and captured our day perfectly." Emma & Adam
