That morning, the Abbey of Talloires mirrored itself in the calm, glassy waters of the lake. Only a few daring swimmers and the laughter of our two lovers broke the serene silence. The Abbaye de Talloire is one of the most exceptional wedding settings on lake Annecy, for many reasons
A heartfelt ceremony at the Church of Saint Jorioz, a return to the turquoise waters of the lake, and moments spent among the last blossoms in the Abbey’s gardens, as September wanes and the light turns golden.
This film is a reflection of who they are: radiant, warm, and full of life.
Nestled on the shores of Lake Annecy in the heart of the French Alps, the Abbaye de Talloires is one of the most breathtaking wedding venues in Haute-Savoie.

Every corner offers a naturally cinematic backdrop — from the stone cloisters to the golden light that bathes the terraces as the day draws to a close.
