Wedding in Antibes on the French Riviera

A French Riviera wedding at Mougins' Royal Golf Resort

A couple laugh and smile after their wedding in the south of France

This wedding photography gallery is from an October wedding with the ceremony taking place in the bright interior of the Mairie d’Antibes and the evening soiree at Mougins' Royal Golf Resort.

Nestled along the stunning French Riviera, Antibes exudes all the quintessential charm of the French-Riviera without the hustle-and-bustle of nearby Nice. October’s possibly my favourite time of year on the French riviera, with cooler weather, calmer tourist districts, and beautiful sunsets – all of which we took advantage of on this beautiful day. This wedding was full of refined styling, beautiful personal touches, and character. The ceremony – in the beautifully decorated Maire of Antibes – was followed by a wonderful spread of canapes and North African treats in the town’s Marché Provençal, which is right next to the mairie.

Pictured in the gallery below we see glimpses of the town’s gorgeous medieval era old town, the exterior of the Picasso Museum – formerly a Château owned by the Grimaldi family - and the rolling countryside just north of the town around Mougins’s Royal Gold Resort. The prestigious golf club was the venue for the evening and we were fortunate to take advantage of the hazy evening light. With its expansive greenery and plush lawns, the golf club is the perfect setting for a couple shoot before the evening meal and entertainment.

Sunset French Riviera Proposal - with a Rainbow

21 March 2025

I just had to share these photos of a surprise proposal on Cap Ferrat on a day when, literally until the last minute, it was raining heavily. As the couple made their way down the winding path with their umbrella up, my camera bag sealed shut inside a waterproof bag, it was a bizarre situation to find myself in; photographing a proposal in such awful conditions. The couple had travelled half way around this world to be here, I'd been in communication with the client for months, and it was all leading up to this moment: it was their last night here and rain or shine it was now or never to pop the question. Then something amazing happened; both rain and shine at once. The sun was so low in the sky it suddenly shot through underneath the clouds and hit the grey landscape - lighting it perfectly. Despite being dragged out in such awful conditions, the proposal itself was a complete surprise and led to some amazing imagery. And then yes, during a photoshoot about 10 minutes later a rainbow appeared and the complete reversal of fortunes was complete. I was so excited for them and full of admiration on his insistence that it WAS going to happen, come what May - and what a reward; I'll probably never see anything like it again.

An English Country House Wedding at Ettington Park

by Pete Horton • 10 March 2025

Nestled in the Warwickshire countryside, Ettington Park is one of the finest country-house wedding venues in the country. It's a genuine architectural marvel built in the Neo Gothic style which flourished in Victorian England. Built between 1858 and 1862 it now serves as a hotel and luxury wedding venue.
