About
The studio behind your Riviera moments.
Riva is a private photography studio based on the French Riviera. We photograph yacht days, villa events, proposals, weddings and portraits for clients who value beautiful images and complete discretion.
Who we are.
Riva is a team of five photographers covering the French Riviera year-round. Some are focused on specific moments, weddings, proposals, editorial, while others work across every format. When you book, we match the right photographer to your shoot.
We live and work on this coast. We know which cove in Saint-Tropez catches the last light, when the Monaco harbour goes quiet, and how a Cap-Ferrat garden looks an hour before dinner. That local knowledge shapes every session.
Our approach is editorial: every photo is edited individually, every gallery is private and password protected, and we never publish an image without your written consent. NDAs are available on request, and many of our clients are public figures, so we treat every booking accordingly.
How we work.
Every session follows the same quiet method, refined over years of working for private clients on this coast.
We scout before you arrive.
Before every session we scout your locations and plan the light, the route and the moments, so nothing is left to chance on the day.
We blend into your day.
One or two photographers, full gear, ready for any condition, yacht deck, villa terrace, dusk, low light. No stiff poses, no interruptions. As natural as if we were not there.
You see your photos within 48 hours.
A curated preview lands within 48 hours, and your full private gallery follows within seven days. Want a specific editing style? Tell us and we re-edit until it is exactly right.
Your images stay yours.
Password-protected galleries, NDAs on request, and no publication of any image without your written consent. Ever.
Where we work.
We cover six cities across the French Riviera, with no hidden travel fees between them. Each has its own page with locations, sessions and details.
