Recently we had some very glamorous clients who were on their honeymoon and wanted to take some photos. Luckily we know a professional photographer, who also happens to have very good links to the Chateau Royal d'Amboise. We were able to set up a special photoshoot in the grounds with Claudette, one of our Citroen Traction Avants, and most excitingly of all, we were allowed to shoot inside and jump the ropes too! We were allowed to do so because in early January it is so quiet at the chateau the staff thought it was a good opportunity to show that stuff still goes on in the chateau even in the middle of winter. Many thanks to Agnes, Samuel and Charles from the Chateau Royal marketing team for being so generous with granting access, thanks to the inhouse guide who obligingly worked around us with the group she was giving a guided tour to, and thanks to Mark from Photograph France [link], who is really easy to work with. So here are some photos of the shoot in progress.

When we were last there in the distant past there was a photoshoot going on with a bride. Elizabeth thought it was a wedding until she saw that the bride had trainers on!! Great for the couple and for your business.
I'm sure your clients had a ball that day. I hope you did too.
Colin and Elizabeth: Great for us, as it's a nice development in our relationship with the Chateau, and it was nice to work with Mark. I think the clients should be very happy with the end results.
Carolyn: It was fun. I wouldn't go so far as to say the clients had a ball -- it was too cold for that, and she's a professional model, so it was all in a days work for her, and he was going along with what she wanted. But they were very nice people, and very interesting.
