I'm always happy to photograph photographers, as I know my work will be scrutinized even more than usual! A truly beautiful day at the Chartreuse de Pomier, despite one uninvited guest: a light drizzle that showed up for the wedding. An Albanian music concert as a mid-reception interlude, and the party could carry on until the early hours of the morning.
Nestled at the foot of the Salève in Haute-Savoie, the Chartreuse de Pomier sits equidistant between Annecy and Geneva, cradled within a vast forest reserve where protected wildflowers and roaming chamois share the estate. For 600 years, this former house of prayer and meditation Monts du Genevois has held its silence — until today. Its medieval cellars, Renaissance halls, and enchanted gardens chartreuse de pomier unfold across the domain like chapters of a living history, while the sweeping panorama over the Genevois valley stretches endlessly beyond.
the Charterhouse holds every scale of love story with the same quiet grace — where 850 years of heritage meet the warmth of a place that has always known how to welcome.
As a photographer and filmmaker based in Annecy, Samuel Maurin brings over 30 years of expertise to every wedding he documents. At the Chartreuse de Pomier, he works with the natural light of the courtyard, the character of the ancient stone, and the joy of each unscripted moment — weaving them into a timeless visual narrative. Each project combines high-end photography and cinematic wedding film, crafted to reflect who you truly are.
