Wedding photographer in Provence
Elegant and authentic photos for your wedding in Provence
Looking for a Provence wedding photographer who captures the real emotion of your day with elegance and discretion? Based in the South of France, I offer natural, candid wedding photography for couples who value authenticity, light, and human connection.
Provence as the Backdrop for Your Wedding Photography
The landscapes, the golden light, and the elegance of Provence’s reception venues make this region a dream setting for wedding celebrations. As a Provence wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing the love stories of over 150 couples who chose the South of France as the backdrop to their day. From lavender fields to olive groves, each corner of Provence offers a magical atmosphere to tell your story with authenticity and style.
A discreet presence to capture emotions and ambiance.
I know that feeling at ease in front of a wedding photographer’s lens isn’t always easy. That’s why I work with a candid, discreet approach. Most of the time, you won’t even notice I’m there ; allowing me to capture the authentic emotion and atmosphere of your wedding day. I’ll gently guide you only during the couple session — suggesting beautiful locations with the best light, simple directions, and natural poses that feel authentic and effortless.
Provence wedding photographer
About me
My name is Nicolas Terraes, and I’ve been photographing weddings since 2013. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that what truly makes a wedding unique are the people — their energy, their cultures, their stories.
Based in Provence, I regularly document weddings across the region and the French Riviera — in Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, Cannes, Nice, Saint-Tropez, and many other iconic destinations.
My role as a Provence wedding photographer goes beyond taking beautiful images. I listen, observe, and connect. I aim to create a calm, trusting atmosphere so you can be fully present, and so I can capture moments that feel real, not staged.
What I love most in this work is meeting couples from all over the world and documenting their wedding day with emotion, simplicity and authenticity.
Collections
Each of my wedding photography collections begins with a meeting, in person or via video, to understand your needs and build a connection.
On your wedding day, or over several days if you wish, I’ll capture your story with a candid, documentary approach. Every photo is carefully post-edited to ensure visual harmony and timeless quality.
Your final images will be delivered in a private online gallery within six weeks, ready to be shared with loved ones and preserved for years to come.
Options:
In addition to full coverage of your wedding in Provence, I offer several thoughtful options to enrich your experience and help you create unforgettable memories.
Before the big day, you can choose to add an engagement photo session — a perfect way to capture your connection in iconic Provençal landscapes and to get comfortable with my candid approach.
To document the entire celebration, I also offer photo coverage of your Welcome Dinner and Brunch, capturing those relaxed, joyful moments shared with family and friends.
After the wedding, elevate your memories with a beautiful fine art photo book, handcrafted by artisans in France.
And for your wedding day itself, offer your guests a fun and memorable experience with a photobooth, complete with instant prints they can take home as keepsakes.
FAQ
When to book your wedding photographer in Provence
Can we see some examples of wedding coverage you’ve done?
How long will you stay with us on the wedding day?
I like to photograph a wedding for 12 hours, to tell your story from the preparations to the start of the dance floor ideally.
Do you work alone or in a team?
Most of the time, I photograph weddings alone. I strongly advise my brides and grooms to take the “second shooter” option when the number of guests exceeds 150.
When to take couple photos?
The most beautiful couple photos are taken with soft light at the end of the day. Ideally 1 hour before sunset. During the cocktail, 20-25 minutes will be enough to create your couple photos. For both of you, it will be like a moment of break, in your cocoon, in this very intense day.
How soon will we receive the final gallery?
Post-editing consists of meticulous processing of each image to ensure the quality of your entire photographs. Delivery times for final photos generally vary according to the number of shots taken and the time of year. You will receive your photographs within a maximum of 6 weeks.
How do you manage the privacy and security of the photos you take?
What equipment do you use to photograph weddings?
I’ll be coming to your wedding with two hybrid cameras and wide-aperture fixed lenses that allow me to shoot in dark places without flash, and above all to create superb background bokeh.

Testimonials
“What a joy to have met Nicolas for this wonderful moment. He knew how to be discreet while providing us with an extraordinary photo report. Preparations for the dance party. From the civil and religious ceremonies, to the cocktail, to the couple photo sharing, everything is simply perfect. The light, the natural shots, even the often more posed group photos came out very natural. The photobooth was a huge success during the cocktail for our friends and during the meal for the youngest. We are delighted with the work carried out.”
