In short
Villa event coverage on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. We recommend starting an hour before the guests arrive, when the property is at its best: set tables, flowers, the pool still, the light low over the water. Those frames become the opening chapter of the gallery. One hour 790 €, half day 1,890 €, full day 2,890 €, weekend house parties 5,490 €, all taxes included. First edited images within 48 hours.
About Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
Cap-Ferrat is the discreet peninsula where European old money lives. Pine forests, secret coves, the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild gardens, and the coastal Sentier des Douaniers create a quiet, refined backdrop unmatched on the Riviera.
The villas of Cap-Ferrat are the reason the cape exists as an address: gardens running down to the water, pools facing Villefranche or Beaulieu, pines shading long tables. Events here are private by geography, no passing traffic, no onlookers, just the property and your guests. We photograph the villa in the last afternoon light, then follow the evening as the lanterns take over and the bay darkens behind the table.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a villa event photographer cost in Cap-Ferrat?
Villa event coverage on Cap-Ferrat starts at 790 € all taxes included for one hour, 1,890 € for a half-day and 2,890 € for a full day. Weekend house parties are covered at 5,490 €. Every format includes editing, retouching and the full first images within 48 hours.
Do you photograph the villa itself before the event?
Yes, and we recommend planning for it. The hour before guests arrive is when the property is at its best: set tables, flowers, the pool still, the light low over the water. Those frames become the establishing chapter of the gallery and often the images the host keeps longest.
How discreet are you during a private event on the cape?
Completely. We dress like your guests, avoid flash wherever the light allows, never ask people to pose during dinner, and sign NDAs on request. Nothing is published without your written consent. The cape's events are private affairs and our work respects that by default.
Can you cover a weekend house party on Cap-Ferrat?
Yes, the 5,490 € weekend rate exists for exactly that: arrivals, the first dinner, a day at the pool or on the water, the main evening. We come and go around your programme so the coverage feels ambient rather than staged, and the first images still arrive within 48 hours.
