Pengilly stunned in a custom Steven Khalil gown that featured a fitted silhouette, sweeping train and delicate lace detailing.
She completed the look with a dramatic veil and understated jewellery, while her makeup highlighted her glowing complexion.
Adam, dapper in a classic tuxedo, watched on as his bride made her entrance through the château’s manicured gardens and grand stone staircases.

Elegant floral arrangements, opulent table settings and soft-toned décor added to the grandeur of the day.
Their French nuptials mark the culmination of a whirlwind romance that quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity love stories of the year.
Photos from the wedding show the couple sharing tender moments beneath the château’s soaring arches, sealing their vows in front of family and friends before celebrating late into the night.
Pengilly and Jones began dating in 2022 before announcing their engagement in December 2023.
‘BEST DAY OF THE YEAR,’ the petite blonde captioned the extensive footage of her outing at the Sydney Olympic Park.
April wore a leopard print sundress, a pair of white sneakers, and carried a brown and black Fendi purse.
She kept her accessories to a minimum, adding only an oversized pair of Banbee sunglasses and small earrings.
The couple had been together for just under two years when Adam popped the question.

In July 2022, April paid tribute to Adam on the couple’s six-month anniversary.
‘Six months. He is so kind, clever, fun, funny, silly, caring and thoughtful,’ she wrote.
‘I have had one of the most stressful and unstable years of my life, but he has been there through it all, helping me and supporting me and treating me like a princess.
‘Sometimes I feel guilty that he’s all mine and other people don’t get to have him as their boyfriend because he is so wonderful and I am so lucky. Happy anniversary.’
April has forged a career for herself as an actress and television star with her father previously saying she didn’t ‘want to live off my coat-tails’.
The star joined the cast of the Australian soap in 2017, playing Chloe Brennan.
