Your South of France Wedding, as It Felt.

Wedding photographer in the South of France

I travel across the South of France for weddings: Château de Robernier in Provence, Château du Puits es Pratx in Occitanie, and a villa in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on the Riviera. The light is strong, the days are long, and most of the wedding happens outside.

The three regions feel different: vineyards and olive trees in Provence, hill villages above the coast on the Riviera, stone courtyards and vines in Occitanie. What they share is the heat and the light, so I plan the day around shade at midday and portraits in the last hour before sunset.

Season

Late spring to early autumn. June and September are the most balanced for light and temperature. July and August are hot, so ceremonies work best late in the afternoon.

Light

The sun is high and bright for most of the day. Portraits work best in open shade or in the hour before sunset, and I keep them short so you can get back to your guests.

Getting around

Marseille for Provence, Nice for the Riviera, and Béziers, Carcassonne or Montpellier for Occitanie. The regions are hours apart, so tell your guests early which airport to use.

If it rains

Rain is rarer in the south, but it happens. At Château de Robernier light rain followed one ceremony, and we made portraits around the château, where the buildings give shelter. Ask your venue about its plan B early.

Real weddings in the South of France

Weddings at Château de Robernier in Provence, a family villa in Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Château du Puits es Pratx in Occitanie. Each story follows the day in order, from getting ready to the dance floor.

Where I’ve photographed

One estate in each part of the south that I know well: where the shade is at each hour, how the day moves between spaces, and where to go for portraits when the light softens.
