We talk

Tell me about your ceremony — the date, the location, what you're planning. I'll confirm availability and we'll discuss the look and feel you want.

02

We plan

Once booked, I send you a preparation guide — timing, location scouting, what to wear, how to prepare for natural portraits after the ceremony.

03

Your day

I arrive early, stay discreet during the ceremony, and guide you gently through couple portraits afterwards. No rushed poses — just real moments.

Within 2–3 weeks, your private gallery is ready. High-resolution images, natural editing — yours to download, print and share forever.

What clients say

My wife and I decided to do a photoshoot so that we could get some pictures together in the beautiful town of Nice- we are so happy that we decided to book this with him! We just got our photos back today and we are so impressed with the quality of the photographs and are eager to hang them in our home. Santi took us to great locations around Nice and was very accommodating to make sure we captured all the locations we wanted. He went above and beyond our expectations and we cannot recommend this enough! Thank you so much Santi!

Cj Parker, CO · September 2025

Santi was fabulous, the experience was sensitive and reflective to the uniqueness of the person we arrange the gift for. The portraits and photos were amazing. We saw parts of Nice we would not have experienced had it not been for the shoot. Thank you 💜

Anna Adelaide, Australia · October 2025

Santi made me feel comfortable, although i usually feel very awkward in front of the camera. And I'm very happy with the photos, they turned out great. ☺️

Marianna Salzburg, Austria · October 2025

It was a fantastic overall experience, we couldn’t have asked for better!

Common questions

I specialize in intimate celebrations — civil ceremonies at the town hall (mairie), elopements, and small gatherings of close family and friends. I'm not currently booking large traditional weddings (150+ guests), but I'm the right fit for an elegant, relaxed day with the people who matter most.
Coverage of the ceremony itself (typically 30–45 min at the mairie), followed by couple portraits in a beautiful nearby location — Old Nice, the seafront, or a spot of your choice. You'll receive 80+ beautifully edited images in a private online gallery.
Yes — the "Ceremony & Portraits" package includes an extended portrait session across 1–2 locations after the ceremony. This is the option I recommend: the light is golden in the late afternoon, and you'll have beautiful images of just the two of you to keep forever.
Travel is included in Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Travel outside Nice: ask me on WhatsApp.
Civil ceremony packages are delivered within 2–3 weeks. I deliver via a private online gallery where you can download all images in full resolution. If you need photos faster, contact me to discuss options.
The Côte d'Azur has over 300 sunny days a year, but we'll monitor the forecast together. If rain is expected, we can adjust portrait timing or find beautiful covered spots — the old town and colonnades of Nice are stunning in soft light. If conditions are truly bad, we'll reschedule the portraits.
After we talk and confirm the details, I'll send you a contract and a 30% retainer invoice to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 7 days before the ceremony. Simple as that.

The most beautiful backdrops

The French Riviera offers some of Europe's most romantic settings for an intimate ceremony — sun-soaked squares, ancient cobblestones, and the endless blue of the Mediterranean.
