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.
Civil weddings in Monaco take place at the town hall on the Rock, a short walk from Place du Palais and the cathedral, which makes Monaco-Ville a natural setting for portraits right after the ceremony. Hotel terraces above Casino Square and receptions overlooking Port Hercule carry the rest of the day. The season runs from May to October, with September offering the softest light and calmer streets. If your date falls in late May, keep in mind that the Grand Prix circuit closes much of the port area, and we plan portraits up on the Rock instead.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a wedding photographer cost in Monaco?
Most weddings in Monaco book our full-day coverage at 2,890 € all taxes included, from preparations to the first dances. A weekend program covering welcome dinner and brunch is 5,490 €, and shorter formats start at 790 € for one hour, ideal for a civil ceremony alone. Every session includes a first selection within 48 hours and the full gallery within 7 days.
Can you photograph a civil wedding at the Monaco town hall?
Yes, we photograph civil ceremonies at the town hall in Monaco-Ville regularly. We cover the exchange itself, then walk you through the lanes of the old town and Place du Palais for portraits while your guests move to the reception. The whole area is within a few minutes on foot.
What is the best time of year for a wedding in Monaco?
May, June and September are the most reliable months, with warm evenings and softer light than midsummer. July and August work well for terrace receptions if the ceremony sits in the late afternoon. We advise avoiding Grand Prix week in late May, when the circuit closes the port area and hotels are at peak rates.
Do you sign NDAs for private weddings in Monaco?
Yes. We regularly work under NDA for high-profile couples and never publish images without written consent, with or without a contract clause. On request we shoot with a reduced team of one, deliver through a private password-protected gallery and delete raw files on the schedule you set.
