Spring Equinox Dinner with Goodis Popup
To celebrate Spring Equinox, I was asked to join the team organising an incredible dinner experience in one of the oldest family perfumeries in France, Molinard. The Goodis Popup included perfume creation, cocktails and a five course meal curtesy of Marco Mattana of Micheline Guide’s Epiro Nice.
I am so excited to share the photos I took of the whole evening event.
Christmas Party on the French Riviera
This pre-Christmas season I was hired to photograph a Christmas party for local entrepreneurs on Côte d’Azur. We, non-corporate self-employed people deserve an office party too! I’ve been a part of Riviera Entrepreneurs for almost two years now and have nothing but admiration for this group of people, so it was a true honour to document this festive celebration for and with them.
Wedding in Provence
This September I was hired to cover a cocktail hour for a beautiful wedding in Provence. The ceremony took place in Eze on the French Riviera, then cocktail hour was held in a gorgeous villa in the department of Var where yours truly frolicked with her camera to capture this special event.
It was a very hot and sunny afternoon, as any photographer would tell you, those were not the best conditions. But i’m not afraid of sunny skies. If those are the cards I’m dealt, I make the most of them. Strong shadows and overblown highlights can be used to create dramatic images. Plus, turns out black and white edits look incredible with those contrasted light conditions.
Civil ceremony in Nice
I was honoured to document a wedding ceremony in the beautiful Hotel de Ville in Nice. I love capturing emotions but was very nervous about the pressure of a wedding. I trust my gear but you never know if and when it might give up on you, and wedding is such a once in a lifetime event that you won’t be able to reply if the light was not right or if the SD card erased everything just because.
But I’m happy to report that everything went perfectly and I now have a happy couple looking at the memories I helped creating.
Biot et les templiers
After nine years without the festival, 2023 took us back to the XIIIth century for the 7th edition of Biot et Les Templiers. This small hilltop village is famous for its history dating back to 154 BC, and the Templars are a huge part of it.
The weekend of March 31-April 2 marked the return of the festival, and our village welcomed over 50,000 visitors over these three days. I took the first two days of the event to just wander around and enjoy this journey through history, filled with knight battles, birds of pray displays, medieval entertainment and rustic markets.
