Breaking my usual rule of never drinking alcohol at a wedding, the day began with a quick stop in Louis's wine cellar. After a chat about tomatoes and greenhouses with Élise's grandfather, the day could continue in the most wonderful way.
I shouldn't say this, but I love the rain! (Let's keep that between us).
Set within a 20-hectare natural park between Lyon, Chambéry and Grenoble, the Domaine de Dolomieu is a fully restored 17th-century château where history meets quiet elegance. Century-old trees, a still pond, and roaming deer surround the estate, while its four-star hotel, spa, gourmet restaurant and private reception spaces bring together every element for an unforgettable celebration. It is a rare place where nature and refinement unfold side by side.
As a photographer and filmmaker based in Annecy, Samuel Maurin travels across France to document destination weddings with over 30 years of expertise. At the Domaine de Dolomieu, he captures the golden light on the château's stone façade, the calm of the surrounding parkland, and every unscripted moment — weaving them into high-end photography and cinematic wedding film that reflect who you truly are.
