French Riviera Wedding Photographer

Yes. I photograph weddings across the French Riviera and Côte d’Azur, including Cap-Ferrat, Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Nice, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Grasse and Mougins. I am also available further along the coast in Menton and inland in the hills above the coast.

It depends on the mood you want. Cap-Ferrat and Villa Ephrussi are refined and romantic with sea views and gardens. Monaco is polished and formal. Antibes is coastal and intimate. Saint-Tropez has summer energy, beach clubs and pastel streets. Nice and Beaulieu-sur-Mer work well as a classic coastline base.

Usually later in the day. Midday sun on the French Riviera can be harsh, especially in summer. I normally prefer shaded terraces, clean interiors, garden shade or short portrait windows before dinner and near golden hour.

Yes. Monaco and Cap-Ferrat are among the most common Riviera destinations I photograph, often around venues such as the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat or Royal Riviera. Antibes weddings are often at private villas on Cap d’Antibes, while Saint-Tropez weddings tend to have a more relaxed summer rhythm.

Yes. I can photograph on digital, 35mm film and medium format film. Film works beautifully in Riviera light, especially for portraits, slower moments and warm coastal evenings. I usually use digital for the full documentary story and film for selected frames.

Yes, where local rules, venue restrictions, privacy, wind and safety allow it. Drone photography can work well for villa venues, cliff-side ceremonies, garden layouts and sea views along the Côte d’Azur. Monaco has specific restrictions, so drone use there needs extra planning.

Yes. Many Riviera weddings include a welcome dinner, full wedding day, pool party, boat trip, recovery lunch or day-after portraits. Multi-day coverage is often the best way to tell the full story when guests travel in for the weekend.

One photographer works well for many Riviera weddings, especially with a calm timeline and a single venue. A second photographer is helpful for larger guest counts, split morning preparations, large villas, hotel layouts or events where important moments happen at the same time.

Most couples book 12–18 months before their wedding date, especially for peak season from May to September on the French Riviera. Popular dates at venues such as Villa Ephrussi or the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat can book early.

Pricing depends on the date, location, number of events, coverage time, guest count, travel, film, drone photography and whether a second photographer is needed. The best way to get an accurate quote is to send your date, venue or area, guest count and rough plan through the contact page.
