French Riviera wedding videographer

Villas over the water and evening light on the bay.

Films for couples marrying on the Côte d'Azur, from Nice and Cap Ferrat to Cannes, Antibes and the hills behind the coast. Based in Spain, I film destination weddings anywhere in the world.

A wedding on the Côte d'Azur

The Riviera is a coast of contrasts packed close together: belle époque façades and pale villas, headlands of pine, villages perched on rock, and the sea always a shade of blue below. A film here should move from the polish of the terrace to the wind on the water, and keep the evening, when the coast lights up, for the end.

I work in a documentary and cinematic way. Nothing is scripted and nobody is posed, and the vows and speeches go on discreet microphones so every word is there. Before the day I prepare the venue with you and your planner: the plan of the villa or hotel, the running order, and where the sun sits over the sea at the hour you have chosen. I take one wedding per date.

“We still get emotional every time we watch the video. It’s a memory that fills our souls, a gem we will cherish forever. You can tell it was made with passion, delicacy and unique sensitivity.”

Questions

A Riviera wedding film: what couples ask

Do you film weddings on the French Riviera?

Yes. I am based in Spain and take destination weddings anywhere in the world, the Côte d'Azur included. Everything is planned in English.

How much does a Riviera wedding film cost?

Each destination wedding gets its own proposal. You receive it in euros within 24 hours of our video call or your enquiry, tailored to your day.

We want our ceremony at sunset over the sea. How do you plan the light?

We set the ceremony time with your planner so the vows fall in the low light before sunset rather than in the harsh midday sun. I look at which way your terrace faces and plan the portraits for the minutes after the ceremony, when the sea still holds the colour.

Can you work with our planner and photographer?

Yes. I agree the timings and our positions with them before the day, and on the day I keep to the edges.

Can you film from a boat or with a drone?

A drone only where local rules and the weather allow, and much of this coast is restricted. If you plan a boat arrival or a sunset sail, we can talk about how to film it during our call. The film never depends on aerial shots.

When should we book?

Six to twelve months ahead, and earlier for a Saturday between May and October, when the coast is busiest.

When is the film delivered?

Two to four months after the wedding, in your private online cinema, along with a short trailer to share.
