From barefoot beach ceremonies to vineyards and château glamour, here are some perfect places to say “I do.”

The French Riviera is synonymous with beauty, romance, and effortless luxury. Whether you dream of a barefoot beach ceremony with the Mediterranean as your backdrop or a chic Provençal estate nestled among vineyards, this region offers extraordinary settings that elevate your wedding day into an unforgettable experience. Here are four of my favorite venues that capture the spirit of the Riviera in distinct and breathtaking ways.

Cap d’Antibes is one of those places that feels both elegant and relaxed at the same time. Tucked between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, it offers beautiful villas, sea views, and a sense of privacy that’s perfect for couples who want an intimate wedding without anything feeling staged or overdone.

This villa wedding in Cap d’Antibes was exactly that: a calm, heartfelt day focused on connection, good energy, and being fully present with the people who mattered most.

There’s something special about photographing a couple in Antibes. The light, the sea, the warm colors of the Old Town—everything feels effortlessly romantic. Grace and Nick’s couples session was exactly that: simple, intimate, and full of the kind of moments that remind me why I love being a French Riviera photographer.

When the bride first reached out about her wedding in the heart of Old Monaco, she insisted the day would be “just a ceremony, nothing crazy.” Yet, as a wedding photographer, every ceremony—no matter its scale—holds layers of meaning and intimate moments, unique to each couple. Monaco’s old town, with its travertine streets, sea views, and timeless charm, set the perfect stage for this understated, emotional celebration.

When you think of a destination wedding in the South of France, it’s not just about the wedding day — it’s about the entire experience. And what better way to kick things off than with a poolside welcome party?

A pool party blends the relaxed elegance of the French Riviera with the joyful energy of your guests arriving to celebrate. It’s chic, stylish, and sets the perfect tone for your wedding weekend.

Planning a destination wedding in the South of France is a dream — sun-drenched vineyards, sea views, elegant villas, and centuries-old churches. But when it comes to turning that dream into a flawless wedding day, choosing the right vendors makes all the difference. And there’s no better place to start than with experienced local professionals.

When I met Harper and Eli, I was instantly struck by their warmth and connection. They had flown all the way from Canada to the South of France for a holiday, and having their engagement photos taken was a big part of their plan.

For couples seeking a blend of elegance, privacy, and breathtaking views, Villa Djunah is the ideal venue for a dream elopement.

Laura and Jay got engagement recently, and on their romantic trip to the South of France they wanted to create some stunning photos for their wedding website.

They chose some iconic locations in Nice as the backdrops and yours truly as their photographer. Laura shared some inspiration photos with me and we worked closely together to bring her vision to life.

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing a beautiful moment between Tim and Liz on the stunning Cap d'Antibes. Tim had planned the perfect surprise proposal, and everything came together flawlessly.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Villa Djunah in Antibes, this intimate gathering of just 35 close family members and friends was filled with love, laughter, and the breathtaking beauty of nature. Every moment felt special, and as a photographer, my goal was to create timeless memories with my true-to-colour, natural documentary style, ensuring the couple could relive each candid interaction and heartfelt embrace for years to come.
