your wedding photographer at the french riviera
Timeless and editorial imagery crafted for modern couples celebrating their wedding in the French Riviera and across the South of France.
The French Riviera remains one of the most inspiring destinations for a multiday wedding celebration. Its Mediterranean look, iconic villas and dramatic cliffs create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and effortlessly sophisticated.
Couples can exchange vows in Éze with its sweeping sea views, host elegant events at Château de Mandelieu, enjoy the legendary charm of Hotel du Cap Ferrat or wander through the romantic gardens of Villa Ephrussi.
Each location offers a distinctive backdrop that blends natural beauty with architectural grandeur, allowing your wedding story to unfold in a setting that elevates every moment.
This region brings together light, color and texture in a way that naturally complements a refined and editorial aesthetic, giving you images that feel both lasting and artfully curated.
• Seaside ceremonies framed by the Mediterranean and its soft coastal light
• Chic villa receptions surrounded by olive trees and refined architecture
• Editorial bride and groom portraits captured on garden paths, private terraces and dramatic cliffs
• Candlelit dinner tables styled with modern French refinement and immersive design
• Natural moments that feel intentional, elegant, and visually elevated

facts:
I am a wedding and editorial photographer at the French Riviera with over fifteen years of experience. I specialize in high-end multi-day wedding celebrations in the South of France and the French Riviera.
As an English speaker who also speaks Spanish and French, I create an effortless experience for you and your guests from the very first exchange. I regularly work with couples from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and many other destinations, and I understand the expectations and rhythms of an international celebration. Connection guides everything I do, and I approach every wedding with intention, elegance and emotional clarity.
My style combines timeless aesthetics with an editorial touch. Inspired by cinema, art, and human connection, I work with Mediterranean light to create refined, sincere images, from soft airy moments to contrasted scenes.
Editorial, emotional, timeless

It is a high-end experience designed to offer peace of mind, ease and complete presence throughout the celebration. From the early planning stages to the final dance, you deserve a process that feels streamlined, stress-free, and entirely supported.
I understand the care involved in designing a celebration where every moment feels intentional, whether it is a welcome event in a private villa at the French Riviera, a sunset ceremony by the sea, an elegant cocktail hour, a surprise performance or a singer igniting the dance floor. That is why I work closely with your wedding planner and their team to ensure every detail is thoughtfully managed and fully supported.
My approach anticipates, observes and shapes each moment into a cohesive visual narrative that reflects the sophistication of your celebration. This experience is designed to bring you clarity, calm and confidence, allowing you to be fully present while I oversee the rhythm, timing and storytelling with an elevated, high-end perspective.
Your memories are captured with precision, care and an editorial eye for beauty.

Yes, travel and accommodation fees are calculated based on location, as distances can be significant even within the same region. These fees are included in the final tailored quote for your wedding.
Do you charge travel fees?
A highlights gallery of around 50 images is delivered within three days after your wedding. The full gallery is delivered within 4–6 weeks, depending on the number of images and the complexity of post-production.
How long until we receive the gallery?
Yes, I always carry two flashes to adapt to different lighting conditions. That said, I prefer natural light whenever possible, especially during daytime ceremonies and portraits.
Do you use flash?
I specialize in photography, so while I don’t provide wedding planning services, I am happy to recommend trusted vendors and offer guidance. A wedding planner is essential for managing logistics throughout the process, especially on the day itself, and I work closely with them to ensure seamless coordination.
Can you help us with timeline and logistics?
I work primarily with digital cameras, carrying three cameras for larger weddings. Each camera has a backup SSD slot to ensure your memories are fully protected.
Do you shoot digital or film?
Absolutely. I collaborate regularly with international wedding planners and am happy to coordinate with them to ensure your day runs smoothly while staying aligned with your vision.
Do you work with international planners?
To secure your date, I require a 50% down payment at the time of booking, with the remaining 50% due one month before your wedding.
Payments can be made via wire transfer, PayPal, or cash.
Please note, any additional bank fees (such as those from bank transfers or PayPal) will need to be covered by you, meaning I should receive the full agreed-upon amount in my account.
How do payment schedules work?
Editing is an essential part of the creative process. Without it, the images are only halfway finished. For this reason, I don’t deliver RAW files. Each final image reflects my artistic vision and the polished experience you’ve chosen.
Do you provide RAW files?
Yes, I speak English and also French, and Spanish, and I enjoy guiding international couples. My aim is to make communication smooth, clear, and enjoyable throughout the entire planning process.
Do you speak English?
I recommend booking as early as possible, ideally 12–18 months in advance for weddings on the French Riviera. This ensures your preferred date is available and allows time to create a fully personalized experience for your day..
How far in advance should we book you?
I’ve learned over the years that every celebration is unique and comes with its own set of needs. Because of this, I tailor a collection for each inquiry.
-The Wedding Experience Collections starting at 3500 euros
-The Elopement Experience Collections starting at 1800 euros
Contact me, and once I know more about your vision, I’ll be happy to tailor a collection for you.

Frequently asked questions
We hired Andrea and her team to photograph our entire wedding weekend in August 2023. We highly recommend her and her team as one of the best wedding photographers in the south of France. She and her team were professional, captured every detail, and produced an album of the best wedding photos in a romantic and airy style within only a couple weeks following the wedding.
We loved working with Andrea. She's kind, compassionate, attentive to detail, lighting, and very experienced wedding photographer. She helps with posing, and records all of the emotions and events of the weekend in exquisite detail. She's very responsive, helpful with ideas, and has recommendations for other vendors if you wish.
It was a pleasure working with Andrea.

Andrea captured our wedding in Provence beautifully! She speaks great English and took time to chat with us before the event to make sure she understood what we wanted. She blended in on the day and was not obtrusive in any way!
The photos were delivered super fast too which was an added bonus. We are very happy with the final gallery. They capture the light of Provence wonderfully and we have had so many compliments on the photos, which are the perfect reminder of our day.
