About Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez is the iconic luxury heart of the French Riviera. From the historic Old Port and the bohemian streets of La Ponche to the celebrity beach clubs at Pampelonne and the cliff-top villas of Ramatuelle, every angle tells a story.
Private events in Saint-Tropez tend to gravitate to three settings: a long lunch at a Pampelonne beach club such as Club 55, a dinner on a terrace above the old port, and late evenings that spill into the lanes around Place des Lices. High season runs from mid-June to the end of August, when clubs and restaurants book out weeks ahead, so the photography brief is usually confirmed alongside the venue. We favour the end of the afternoon, when the beach empties slightly and the light turns warm.

Frequently asked questions
Can you photograph a private party at a Pampelonne beach club like Club 55?
Yes. We photograph lunches and parties at the Pampelonne clubs every season. We liaise with the club beforehand so our presence is cleared, keep to your table and your group, and never photograph other guests. The late afternoon, when the beach starts to empty, gives the best light.
How much does a private event photographer cost in Saint-Tropez?
Coverage starts at 790 € all taxes included for one hour, enough for a birthday lunch or a short reception. A half-day is 1,890 €, a full-day 2,890 €, and multi-day celebrations fit the weekend format at 5,490 €. Every session includes a first selection within 48 hours and the full gallery within 7 days.
Do you work discreetly and sign NDAs for private events?
Yes. Discretion is the reason most of our Saint-Tropez clients book us. We sign NDAs on request, deliver through a password-protected gallery, never publish without written consent, and can delete raw files on your schedule. At the event itself we work quietly, without flash or staged interruptions.
Do you cover evening events that run late in Saint-Tropez?
Yes, we plan coverage around your real timeline, not office hours. For summer parties that start at sunset we bring fast low-light lenses and stay through the moments you actually care about, the toasts, the cake, the dancing. End time is agreed in advance and extensions are possible on the night.
