Capturing the moments of an exceptional event requires more than a good camera. Our partner photographers have shot hundreds of weddings, hen parties and lifestyle reports in Var. Each has their signature style — we pair them to your aesthetic preferences (traditional, photojournalism, fine art, boudoir, lifestyle).
We work with 15+ photographers across Var, all professionals with at least 5 years of experience. Some bilingual. Equipment: professional cameras (Sony A7, Canon R5, Nikon Z), multiple lenses (24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8, 85mm f/1.4), drones (with license), lighting (for indoor evening shots).
Beyond photography: video coverage growing rapidly. Short edited films (90-second to 3-minute) are popular for sharing on social media. Full documentaries (10-20 minutes) for weddings.

- Traditional / classic: posed photos, formal portraits. Best for older couples or formal weddings.

Tips for great photos
Make the most of your shoot:
- Plan the timing: golden hour (1h before sunset) for outdoor shots. Avoid midday harsh sun.
- Coordinate outfits: simple, complementary colours. Avoid loud patterns.
- Relax: pre-shoot drinks help everyone unwind. Photographer is invisible.
- Trust the photographer: they direct gently. Move naturally.
- Family/group photos: schedule a 15-min slot specifically (don't lose people).
- Don't over-pose: the best photos are often the unexpected, candid moments.
