I'm Santi — a proposal and couples photographer in Nice. I capture the surprise discreetly: the question, the reaction, the celebration — in the most romantic corners of the French Riviera. In English, French and Spanish.
Every proposal includes the full plan: location and timing, a hiding spot, a secret signal and a rain plan B.
Travel inside Nice and to Villefranche-sur-Mer is included in every package. Classic also includes Èze, Cannes and Antibes; Premium includes Èze, Cap Ferrat, Monaco, Cannes and Antibes. Other locations: ask me on WhatsApp. Monaco requires 15 days’ notice.
Every village has its own magic. I'll help you choose the perfect spot — and keep the surprise completely intact.

Santi was fantastic! Very professional and help me through the entire process. It is stressful trying to find a photographer from overseas and proposing at location you never seen before. But Santi provided all the pictures. Picked a fantastic spot, and helped with providing guidance for what colour clothing is best suited for the pictures. Where to stand as well. And he is willing to take the time to answer any questions you have and address them until you are satisfied. I loved my time working with Santi to achieve a big milestone of my life. Photos afterward were beautiful. You were the best Santi. Thank you!
-RaymondWe hired him for a surprise proposal shoot across Nice and Monaco, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Planning a surprise proposal can be nerve-wracking, but he was incredibly helpful from start to finish and easily adapted to all our needs on the day. He was extremely professional and even arrived before our scheduled time to make sure everything was perfectly set up. To top it all off, he sent us our beautifully edited photos just a day or two after the shoot, which is incredibly fast! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and well worth the money. If you are looking for a photographer in the French Riviera, book him!Everything went wonderfully. From the first details of the organization to the synchronization on the day and then to the moment of the proposal, Santi gave me all the guidance to create an unique and wonderful moment. The photos are gorgeous, both me and my fiancée are super excited about them.
I recommend Santi with the greatest pleasure! :)On a eu une superbe expérience avec Santi pour nos fiançailles! Je l’ai trouvé seulement 3-4 semaines avant ma demande, et dès le début, il a été incroyable. On s’est écrit des dizaines de fois pour trouver l’endroit parfait pour ma demande, et c’est vraiment grâce à lui qu’on a trouvé le lieu idéal.
Je pensais au départ qu’il allait simplement prendre quelques photos du moment de la demande, mais il a vraiment dépassé mes attentes. Il a pris des centaines de magnifiques photos de nous autour du lieu, en plus de capturer plusieurs vidéos.
Santi a été super professionnel, attentionné et impliqué du début à la fin. Il a vraiment contribué à rendre ce moment encore plus spécial, et nous avons maintenant des souvenirs incroyables de nos fiançailles que nous allons pouvoir garder toute notre vie.
Je le recommande sans hésitation! Merci encore Santi!I arrive early and blend in among the visitors with my camera; we agree a discreet signal beforehand. I capture the approach, the question and the reaction naturally, then we do relaxed couple portraits (Classic and Premium packages).
We monitor the forecast together. If conditions aren't ideal, we can adjust the time, choose a more sheltered location, or reschedule at no extra cost.
