Getting married at the Château de la Cassemichère

La Chapelle-Heulin (Loire-Atlantique, 44) · Nantes vineyards

I have not filmed a wedding here yet. It is a venue well regarded among wedding suppliers in the region, with consistently positive feedback. This page gathers what the venue publishes and what a videographer takes from reading it, to help your search. I will complete it from the inside as soon as I have spent a day there, camera in hand.

What a videographer looks for in this venue

A working wine estate imposes its own constraints on the image. Here is what La Cassemichère's layout would change for a film.

Vines as far as the eye can see

Twenty-eight hectares of vines is a setting found nowhere else in western France, and it changes with the season: deep green in June, gold in September. The rows create natural vanishing lines, perfect for a couple's session, and a drone finds instant graphic patterns there.

A 17th-century wine château

Old stone and cellars give textures and dark atmospheres that contrast sharply with the outdoors. Used well, that contrast structures a film; handled badly, it produces dull images. It all comes down to exposure.

A wedding at the pace of wine

Tasting, cellar tours, harvest depending on the season: these are extra sequences to film, and moments when guests relax. Those are often the best.

Wedding videographer in Loire-Atlantique

Studio SB creates wedding films in Loire-Atlantique and across the region. On weddings far from Mayenne, where I am based, scouting the day before is part of the package: it lets me see the light at the exact hour of the ceremony rather than discovering it on the day.

This venue is one of the Loire-Atlantique wedding venues I document. You can also discover the wedding film packages or the Google reviews left by the couples I have worked with.

Contacting the venue

This is a videographer's page, not the estate's. La Cassemichère alone answers questions of availability, rates and viewings.
