A wedding photographer for the French Riviera
The Riviera invented the white party and never stopped throwing it. Gardens run down to private jetties, lunch lasts until the fireworks, and the light is the clean, silver kind that made painters move here. We photograph it with energy, and with the discretion this coast expects.
Silver light, gold evenings
Riviera light is different from Italian light, cleaner and harder, made for white linen and deep green gardens. It flatters architecture and jewellery and it punishes lazy exposure. We meter for the sea, let the whites breathe, and keep the evening's gold for skin.
The rhythm here is its own thing. Ceremonies run late afternoon, dinner faces the sunset, and the party does not so much begin as escalate. We staff Riviera weddings for the long night, because the frame everyone remembers is usually made after midnight.
Houses we know
- Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Antibes, the diving board light in late June is a photograph before anyone steps into it. The house has its own field guide page.
- Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, lawns to the sea and the great pines for shade portraits.
- Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, nine gardens, one ceremony, endless frames, and a field guide page of its own.
- La Réserve de Beaulieu, a pink palace on the water with staff who move like stagehands.
- Château de la Croix des Gardes, Cannes above the bay, cinema royalty in the guest book.
- Byblos Saint-Tropez, when the wedding decides to become a festival.
A word about privacy
Many of our Riviera couples marry away from cameras for a living, so we are comfortable being the only ones allowed to carry one. Unpublished weddings, portfolio exclusions, non disclosure agreements and guest privacy protocols are all familiar ground. The archive can exist for two people only. That is not a compromise of our work, it is a version of it we are proud of.
Coverage and pricing live with the editions. For everything else there is the questions page, and the commission sheet is one page away.

Planning notes
Working in French Riviera
When to marry here
June and September are the Riviera in balance. July adds glamour and traffic in equal measure. May can be a secret, green and quiet, with the sea just warm enough for the brave.
The long night
Riviera parties escalate. We plan coverage to the last firework, not to a contracted hour, and the after midnight chapter is often the best in the book.
Working discreetly
One photographer can look like a guest, two can look like a team. For salons and protected guest lists we scale presence down, not coverage.
Asked about French Riviera
Three honest answers
Do you photograph weddings in Monaco?
Yes. Salon ceremonies, terrace receptions and civil weddings at the Mairie, photographed with the reserve Monaco expects. When a guest list requires it, we work under non disclosure and the wedding never appears in our portfolio.
What does a French Riviera wedding photographer cost?
Editions start at 1 900 euros and Riviera commissions usually choose The Edition, from 3 400 euros, or The Archive for multi day house parties. One transparent number covers travel and stays from Monaco to Saint-Tropez.
Can you cover a beach club party in Saint-Tropez?
With pleasure. Confetti at Pampelonne, spray from the magnums, the dance floor at golden hour. We shoot it like the editorial it deserves to be and deliver a same week party edit your guests will actually see.
From Monaco to Saint-Tropez, we keep up.
