Camille and Morgan
As a European wedding photojournalist, I believe the best photographs come when your clients truly trust you. When your relationship is strong enough for you to blend into the background of their most precious moments without a second thought. That’s what I’m lucky to have with Camille. We’ve worked together on photography projects in the past, and her trust in my vision and process allowed me to capture the of-the-moment photographs that tell the true story of her and Morgan’s ocean-view wedding day.

A wedding with an ocean-view
Privacy was paramount for the pair, and so, their picturesque ocean-side venue located on a private peninsula on the shores of the Mediterranean sea was perfect. The Cape Estel rests between Nice and Monte Carlo and is known for its luxury status, ocean-view weddings, and remote location. With a five-star restaurant, breathtaking landscapes, and natural tranquillity, it was the perfect blend of modern and traditional.
The wedding photojournalism
As a European wedding photojournalist, location is always a well-considered part of my storytelling. I enjoy locations with character and emotionality. And most importantly, I want the couple to feel connected to their wedding location and venue– I believe this shines through my photographs.
Le Cap Estel’s scenic, ocean views and modern amenities were ideal for the couple who valued luxury while wanting to create a relaxed, natural atmosphere. A sentiment that’s reflected in Camille as she looks across the ocean alongside the couple’s energetic dance floor performances later in the evening.

I was at the wedding from 10 am, capturing Camille and her bridesmaids getting ready and reminiscing until 2 am, documenting the light and laughter radiating from the outdoor dance floor.
The couple’s custom photo gallery is expansive. Attending the entirety of their day meant I was able to document everything for them. Alone, their photographs portray precious moments in time, true to life and overflowing with emotion. And together, they tell the whole story of a magical wedding with stunning ocean views— equal parts elegant and exciting.
I am warmed by the knowledge that the couple will be able to look back at their wedding photographs and relive the whole day with no detail or moment overlooked.

The experience
Camille and Morgan enjoyed a late ceremony that flowed into a vibrant reception. Cap Estel’s vast amenities meant the whole of the wedding took place outdoors on their terrace and green spaces. The florals and decor were bright and light, fusing perfectly with the wedding’s ocean view.
The bride and her bridesmaids got ready in one of Cap Estel’s beautiful rooms before stepping outside for the ceremony. Under an archway of lilies and a canopy of palm trees, loved ones watched Camilie and Morgan laugh and cry their way through their promises to each other.
As the couple stepped aside for me to capture a selection of photographs of just the two of them, guests chatted and danced amongst themselves. And when they returned, the part began. From the first dance to the bouquet throw and cake cutting, Camile and Morgan’s wedding day can only be described as a specular party with love and laughter at every turn!
