A typical programme
Three days on the peninsula.
The most common Saint-Tropez brief runs across three days — a beach lunch at Pampelonne that tips into the afternoon, a festive dinner in town the next night, a private gala or artist performance on the closing night, usually based from a rental villa or yacht. One briefed crew covers the full programme with priority selects available daily on request. Single-day bookings follow the same production standards.
01
Day one — daytime
Pampelonne beach & the long festive lunch
Club 55 for the arrival, Gigi or Loulou for the elevated option, Shellona or Verde Beach when the brief calls for energy. Coverage starts late-morning and runs through the afternoon — guest portraits, hosted moments, brand touchpoints, and the unposed energy that defines a Saint-Tropez beach day.
02
Day two — in town
Festive dinner inside the village
L'Opéra for tableside cabaret and confetti, Gigi for the sabrage-and-singers polish, La Bagatelle for the long-into-the-night energy, Kinugawa or La Môme for the trendier crowd. Coverage adapts to the room — low-light, no disruption, every key moment caught without a single flash.
03
Day three — the night
Private gala, villa celebration, or Caves du Roy
The apex of the programme — a private gala in the villa or on the yacht, a DJ takeover, sometimes a private artist performance, often finishing at Les Caves du Roy. Past editions have included Robbie Williams and Blondish performing for private guests. Coverage handles the headline moment and the crowd without ever being the story.
Celebrity & artist performances covered
When the closing night has a headline act.
Past Saint-Tropez programmes have included private sets by Robbie Williams and Blondish, performed for closed guest lists in villa and yacht settings. Coverage in those environments requires artist-team coordination, agreed image usage, and a photographer who has done it before.
Specific programmes, guests, and venues are covered by NDA and not published. References available on request for confirmed briefs.
For agencies & planners
Slotted into your run-of-show, not bolted on.
Most Saint-Tropez programmes arrive through an agency or a household team. The working style is built around that — one contact, one crew, one consolidated post-production feed, and deliverables that match the timeline a producer actually works to.
- Pre-event call to align on run-of-show, priority moments, sponsor and brand visibility, restricted areas.
- Low-footprint on-site presence — small kit, no disruption to service, no spectacle around the principal guests.
- Photo delivery within 5–6 days; priority selects shared daily on request. Video within 7 days. Faster turnaround available as an add-on.
- Instant QR gallery with face recognition available as a guest-facing add-on.
- NDA from the start; encrypted private galleries; nothing published unless explicitly approved.
- Bilingual operation with venue, catering and security teams as standard.

Beyond photography
A working Saint-Tropez network, open to our clients.
Years of multi-day programmes on the peninsula have built a working network — beach-club and restaurant contacts, drivers, yacht agents, villa managers, private chefs, florists, entertainment and AV suppliers, artist-team liaisons. Confirmed production clients get introductions to trusted partners as a complimentary layer. No markup, no retainer — just the shortcuts of someone who already has the phone numbers.
Venues & restaurants
Tables held through real relationships
Beach clubs and in-town festive restaurants run on personal contacts in Saint-Tropez. Introductions for tables at Club 55, L'Opéra, La Réserve à la Plage, Les Caves du Roy and the wider network — arranged via existing relationships, not a generic booking platform.
Transfers & logistics
Private drivers, tenders, helicopter
Nice airport transfers, day drivers, yacht tenders, and helicopter when the brief requires it. Vetted partners who know Riviera traffic patterns and know how to handle a principal guest's day without friction.
Trusted suppliers
Chefs, florists, entertainment
Private chefs, florists, AV and lighting, live entertainment, and artist-management liaisons. Introductions to suppliers we've worked with across multiple Saint-Tropez programmes — never a cold call.
The concierge layer is a complimentary courtesy for confirmed photography production clients — not a standalone booking service. Introductions are made, relationships stay direct with the partner.

Frequently asked
Can you handle a multi-day Saint-Tropez event at any scale?
Yes. The format adapts to the brief — an intimate dinner for twenty, a private beach-to-gala programme for two hundred, or a multi-day brand activation across the peninsula. One lead crew (photo + video) is scaled with a second shooter or assistants as the guest count and simultaneous venues require, with a clear run-of-show agreed in advance.
Do you also cover single-day Saint-Tropez events?
Yes. A single lunch at Club 55, a one-night dinner at L'Opéra, a cocktail on a yacht — single-day bookings are common. Three-day programmes are the most frequent format because that's how most private clients and agencies build their Saint-Tropez itineraries, but single-day coverage follows the exact same production standards.
Which Saint-Tropez venues have you already photographed at?
Regular venues include Club 55, La Réserve à la Plage, Loulou Ramatuelle, Shellona, Verde Beach, Nikki Beach and Plage des Jumeaux on Pampelonne; Gigi Saint-Tropez, L'Opéra, La Bagatelle, Kinugawa and La Môme for festive dinners; and Les Caves du Roy at Hôtel Byblos for the nightclub programme. Private villas, yachts in the old port, and hillside estates are also covered regularly.
How discreet is the coverage for private clients and VIP guests?
Discretion is the default. NDAs are signed from the outset, the crew operates in low-footprint mode (small kit, no flash unless specifically briefed), and file delivery is handled through private encrypted galleries. Many past events have involved high-profile artists and guests; nothing has ever been published outside the client's own channels.
How fast are the photos and the video delivered?
Photos are delivered within 5–6 days of the programme end; specific priority selects can be shared daily on request — useful when PR, social, or internal recap needs to move fast. Video is delivered within 7 days. Faster turnaround on either is available as an add-on. Instant QR gallery delivery with face recognition is also available as an on-site guest experience.
Do you provide photo and video together, or only photography?
Both, from the same coordinated crew. A typical Saint-Tropez programme includes one lead photographer + one videographer, with a second shooter added for larger guest counts or simultaneous venues. Deliverables are edited separately — stills, short-form social cutdowns, and a longer recap film.
What's the best lead time to book for the Saint-Tropez summer season?
Peak season in Saint-Tropez runs from late June through early September. For weekend-to-weekend programmes during this window, 3–6 months lead time is recommended. Short-notice bookings are sometimes possible — message on WhatsApp to check specific dates.
Do you also help with venues, transfers, or other logistics in Saint-Tropez?
For confirmed photography clients, introductions to trusted partners are offered as a complimentary layer — beach club and restaurant contacts, private drivers, yacht tenders, helicopter when required, private chefs, florists, AV and live entertainment suppliers. There is no markup and no retainer; the concierge layer is a courtesy, not a standalone booking service.
