Anita Tissier Photography | Wedding & Proposal Photographers

French Riviera Wedding & Proposal Photographers in Nice | English & French

We are native English & French speakers. We take on a limited number of luxury weddings and elopements each season in the South of France or abroad so we can be fully invested in every celebration.

As proposal and couples photographers, we cover Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze, Monaco, Antibes, Menton and Cannes, where we scout the location, handle the logistics, and stay discreet so the moment unfolds naturally.

We also photograph maternity and family sessions across the French Riviera and South of France, and relocate to the lavender fields of Valensole from mid-June to mid-July. Wherever your vision takes you, we travel for destination weddings and elopements worldwide.

Meet Your Photographers: Anita and Jean-Claude

A husband and wife photography duo based in Nice on the French Riviera, in the South of France.

We met in 2011 when we were eighteen. After we got engaged, we hit the road full-time with a dream of chasing adventures and building our lives around travel. Photography quickly became the way we experienced the world together, and those early years shaped our photography career as international travel photographers. Our work and curiosity brought us to over 160 countries.

But over time, as the destinations added up, our perspective shifted. We realised that happiness didn't lie in any of those destinations or how far we travelled, but in the connections we have built with others and in all the small moments along the way. Those connections are what continue to guide us. Today, we specialise in destination wedding, elopement and proposal photography in the French Riviera and Provence.

Your lavender fields photographers in Valensole, Provence

Each year from mid-June to mid-July, we spend our time on the Valensole Plateau in Provence for the lavender bloom.

We know the Valensole Plateau intimately as we have been photographing there every season since 2020. We know the quieter fields away from the crowds, the locations that catch the light at sunrise and golden hour, and the spots where the rows of purple stretch uninterrupted to the horizon.

Sessions in the lavender fields of Provence are available for couples, elopements, proposals, and small family groups. We time every shoot around the best light, such as sunrise or golden hour, and select field locations based on the bloom conditions that week. Your digital gallery from lavender sessions is delivered within two to three weeks.

The lavender season in Provence is short. If your travel dates fall between mid-June and mid-July, we would love to hear from you.

A cinematic approach to photography on the Côte d'Azur.

To us, photography is the art of capturing memories and emotions that will be felt long after the day has passed. Whether documenting a proposal, a wedding, or a quieter moment in between, our work is guided by an editorial style and cinematic storytelling.

As wedding photographers in the French Riviera, working across the South of France and Provence, we know how the light behaves here. The vivid midday sun off the Mediterranean, the long sunbeams of golden hour over the Estérel, the soft blue half-hour after sunset in the old towns. We plan around it so your photographs feel like the place, not just photographs taken in it.

A stolen moment, captured with intention and preserved forever.

Before I start, if you only read the first line of this review. She deserves 10 stars.

I was lucky enough to come across Anita after another photographer fell through, and I couldn’t be happier the first one didn’t work out. What a blessing in disguise! Seeing how stunning her photos were, I didn’t think she’d have availability. Not only did Anita fit me in her schedule.. but she made the process extremely easy! She helped me with reservations, a florist.. a map of the garden so I knew where to go, and more. The photoshoot was spectacular and the fact that her husband helped out was beyond a bonus. I couldn’t be more thankful for Anita and her husband. Not only are their shots stunning.. but her help with posing, lighting, locations.. everything, was a service you can’t put a price on. If you’re a guy reading this and wanting to propose in France, do not look any further! It doesn’t get better than Anita. I promise you, do not look any further. Hands down the best photographer in France. Thank you again Anita, you forever captured our most precious day!

Happy family in the blooming purple lavender fields in Valensole, Provence during a golden hour sunset photoshoot

We treat ourselves to professional family photos at least once a year, and Anita and Jean-Claude were among the most professional and skilled photographers we've met!

We loved working with Anita and Jean-Claude for our family photo session in Provence and were exceptionally impressed with their communication, attention to detail, and genuine concern for our satisfaction with the photos and the experience! We were looking forward to a specific lavender field but, unfortunately, it ended up being harvested before our chosen date. They went above and beyond to ensure the replacement location met our needs and wants, and suggested the addition of a gorgeous sunflower field (which added nice variety to our session!). They were also kind, patient with our children, and navigated our big, multi-generational group with ease. If we are lucky enough to find ourselves in Provence or Cote d'Azur again, we will jump at the opportunity to work with Anita and Jean-Claude again! Look no further!

Anita was such a fantastic photographer and I'm so glad that I went with her for this important event in my life!!

As this was the first(hopefully only) time proposing, I was super nervous about what exactly to do and how to make sure everything went correctly. Anita was there the whole time, helping me though any ideas I had and offering suggestions when I had no clue what to do. With her support and guidance, everything went smoothly and the only thing I had to worry about is making sure my now fiancé didn't know what was going to happen.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to remember our honeymoon than with a photoshoot in the beautiful village of Èze.

From the very first message, Anita and Jean-Claude were incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. As soon as we met them, we felt completely at ease, they brought such a calm, warm energy that made the whole experience feel natural and fun (even for two people who aren't used to being in front of the camera! :D). It was such a special way to celebrate this new chapter in our lives, and we’re so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully by both of them <3 Truly an unforgettable experience. If you’re thinking about booking with them, do it. You won’t regret it!

We have received so many compliments on the photos that Anita and Jean Claude took. The quality of the pictures is insane!

Anita and Jean Claude are by far the best photographers I have ever met. I’m not sure how they are not (yet) world famous photographers with the skill level that they have (National Geographic level). They are both incredible photographers and they are also super nice and a true pleasure to spend time with. We both wanted to keep spending time with them! I owe Anita a lot of credit for helping plan the details of my proposal. I told Anita I would like a photographer and that I am planning to propose and she helped guide me with the rest! It turned out exceptional. When we got our non-edited photos I couldn’t believe it was possible to have photos that looked that good without being edited. I will definitely be reaching out to Anita and Jean Claude again! I would book a flight to wherever they are just to have them take pictures! Anita and Jean Claude are enough of a reason to book a trip to Nice!
