About Nice
Nice is the cultural capital of the French Riviera. The Promenade des Anglais at sunrise, the warm-ochre old town, Castle Hill overlooking the Baie des Anges, every block is a postcard with substance.
The villas of Nice sit on its hills, Mont Boron above the port with views across to Villefranche, and Cimiez with its gardens and Belle Epoque calm. Summer villa events here stretch late, the light holds until after nine in July, and the city glitters below once night falls. We photograph the garden and the tables before guests arrive, then let the evening unfold without directing it.

Mont Boron and Cimiez carry most of them. Mont Boron villas look over the port and the bay of Villefranche, ideal for sunset receptions, while Cimiez offers walled gardens and Belle Epoque architecture. Both are minutes from the city yet feel completely removed from it.
What time should photography start for a villa dinner in Nice?
Ideally an hour before your first guest arrives. That hour covers the set tables, the flowers, the pool and the view in perfect evening light, and it lets us plan angles for the toasts and speeches. Candid coverage then runs through dinner into the night.
How discreet are you during a private villa event?
We work like a guest who happens to carry a camera: no flash where the light allows, no posing requests during dinner, no interruptions. NDAs are signed on request and nothing is ever published without your written consent. Most clients tell us their guests forgot we were there.
