Hina and Maximilien married on 11 July 2026 at La Métairie du Breuillet, a working vineyard estate in Clion, Charente-Maritime.
No town hall that day: mass at the church nearby, then back to the vineyard for the rest. Before the church they had planned a first look in the study of the house, alone, before the hundred and twenty-five guests arrived.
Cocktail hour ran two hours and very little of it was quiet. A game of Killers started as people walked in, a guess-the-bride-or-groom round, back-to-back speeches, and a long run of group portraits, including one of every guest photographed from the tower of the house.
The couple session happened around the property, in the vines, in late-day light. Dinner followed in the barn. Cake cutting, first dance, an outfit change, then the dancefloor opened on a surprise.
Hina and Maximilien met in Chicago and live in Paris. They married where Maximilien’s family makes wine.
