About Monaco
Monaco is the smallest playground for the world's wealthiest. From Monte-Carlo Casino and the Hôtel de Paris to Port Hercule, Larvotto Beach and the panoramic exotic gardens, the principality offers a uniquely concentrated luxury aesthetic.
Private events in Monaco tend to gravitate to hotel salons and terraces above Casino Square, to restaurant privatisations in the port, and to apartments with views over Port Hercule. During Grand Prix week in late May the whole Principality becomes one event, terraces book out a year ahead and our diaries fill accordingly. The rest of the season, Monaco hosts birthdays, anniversaries and corporate dinners in rooms designed to be photographed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a private event photographer cost in Monaco?
Event coverage in Monaco starts at 790 € all taxes included for one hour, 1,890 € for a half-day and 2,890 € for a full day. For programmes spanning several evenings, the 5,490 € weekend rate applies. Editing, retouching and the full first images within 48 hours are always included.
Can you cover an event during the Monaco Grand Prix?
Yes, and we recommend booking several months ahead, terraces and suites overlooking the circuit are reserved a year in advance and our race-week diary fills early. We know the access rules and timing constraints around the circuit, so coverage runs smoothly between sessions.
How discreet are you around high-profile guests?
Discretion is the baseline of our work in Monaco. We dress to blend with your guests, work without flash wherever the light allows, sign NDAs on request and never publish a single image without your written consent. Many of our event clients never appear on our website at all.
Do you photograph both the room and the guests?
Yes. We arrive before your guests to photograph the tables, the flowers and the view while everything is untouched, then switch to candid coverage once the event begins. You receive both the editorial record of the setting and the real moments between people.
