Congratulations on your engagement! If you’re reading this, chances are you’re starting to plan one of the most exciting days of your life. While choosing the perfect venue and finding the dress might be top of mind, there’s one important detail you won’t want to overlook: booking your wedding photographer.

Here’s why January is the ideal time to secure your dream photographer (and why I’d love to be part of your special day!).

When I met Harper and Eli, I was instantly struck by their warmth and connection. They had flown all the way from Canada to the South of France for a holiday, and having their engagement photos taken was a big part of their plan.

Nice, with its stunning coastal views, vibrant architecture, and charming parks, provided the ideal setting to celebrate their love story.

Getting engaged is one of life’s most memorable moments, and finding the perfect spot to pop the question is key. Nestled above the beautiful French Riviera, Castle Hill in Nice (Colline du Château) offers breathtaking views, historic charm, and a lush park setting—ideal for a magical engagement. This guide will walk you through why Castle Hill is such a dreamy location and how to plan an unforgettable engagement there.

When you imagine an intimate, romantic elopement, few places can compete with the charm of the French Riviera. One of the hidden gems in this picturesque region is Villa Djunah, a luxurious, Mediterranean villa nestled along the coast. For couples seeking a blend of elegance, privacy, and breathtaking views, Villa Djunah is the ideal venue for a dream elopement.

Laura and Jay got engagement recently, and on their romantic trip to the South of France they wanted to create some stunning photos for their wedding website.

They chose some iconic locations in Nice as the backdrops and yours truly as their photographer. Laura shared some inspiration photos with me and we worked closely together to bring her vision to life.

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing a beautiful moment between Tim and Liz on the stunning Cap d'Antibes. Tim had planned the perfect surprise proposal, and everything came together flawlessly.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Villa Djunah in Antibes, this intimate gathering of just 35 close family members and friends was filled with love, laughter, and the breathtaking beauty of nature. Every moment felt special, and as a photographer, my goal was to create timeless memories with my true-to-colour, natural documentary style, ensuring the couple could relive each candid interaction and heartfelt embrace for years to come.

Some couple want the proposal memories documented in photos as it happens, some prefer to have an intimate moment with no cameras.

The latter was the case for Bella and Harrison. They got engaged away from the hustle and bustle of Promenade des Anglais out on a boat in the Mediterranean, but wanted to keep the memories of their special trip in photos so they came across my IG account and we agreed on a last minute session in Nice.

Finding a quiet intimate spot for a proposal in Nice is a difficult task. Especially in the summer.

This couple wanted the South of France vibes, the beach, the sunset and all the colour for their special day. The beaches in Nice are not your typical soft sand or rocky cliffs, it’s mostly lots of people crammed on the large grey pebbles that are a nightmare to walk on barefoot. There is, however, a beautiful rocky beach just past Port Lympia, called Coco Beach. It’s mostly enjoyed by locals, and so I took my couple that way. It was busy but we found a somewhat quieter spot with a stunning views on a platform suitable for walking in heels. The proposal went flawless with several onlookers cheering for the future groom which made it so sweet and added to the excitement.

For the past few years I’ve been increasingly more and more obsessed with tennis. Not just the sport itself, even though I started to play more often and more seriously, not that I’m any good, but the aesthetic element of it. The country club vibes, the outfits, the details, the works.

So every time I was on court I was looking at it and what was happening on it with a photographer eye. I’ve photographed my husband play in the past and loved it, but this time I wanted to introduce a couple to my on court photos. Like a tennis date type of a session.

Sometimes working on location means coming to your location. And this location was BEAUTIFUL.

I met Keit who was celebrating her birthday surrounded by her family and friends in the South of France for a fun session at the villa they were renting in Tourette-sur-Loup. Initially we were planning a “walk-and-shoot” in Nice but things get busy when you’re on holidays and want to visit as much as possible, so we almost cancelled the session but decided to go ahead in a much more relaxed atmosphere at their rental.

It was indeed very relaxed and enjoyable with no crowds and a bit of rosé for the lovely couple.

Every couple I photograph is special to me in their own way.

I got the honour of documenting a very special event in Deepesh and Pascal’s lives, their wedding ceremony on the French Riviera. They said their I do’s in a small but intimate mairie of Cap d’Ail, followed by a drink on the rocky coast during the most beautiful sunset surrounded by their closest friends and family.

I met Val and Cristina on the rocky beach between Villeneuve-Loubet and Cagnes-sur-Mer which has a mix of wild nature and small town vibes. We spent an hour frolicking around, and as it was Val’s first professional photoshoot, we took it easy with few poses and natural photo opportunities.

Last year I photographed Liisa and Mathieu’s wedding ceremony in Nice, and when I got a message from them for a pregnancy session I could not be more excited.

We settled on an indoor space with the beautiful light (lucky for us there is no shortage of natural light in the South of France) and had a fun session with outfit changes and lots of variety. Gotta love repeat clients, especially such stunning ones.
