Sunset Post-Engagement Photoshoot in Nice, South of France

Starting at Place Masséna

In late July, L and H booked a one-hour sunset session from 19:50 to 20:50 while visiting Nice. We began at Place Masséna, which was the perfect starting point. L wore a beautiful red dress that complemented the red façades and the iconic checkerboard paving of the square. The fountain area and surrounding architecture made the colours stand out beautifully in the evening light.

Colline du Château Viewpoint Portraits

From there, we made our way up to Colline du Château. The timing allowed us to capture the warm sunset tones as we walked up. There are several scenic viewpoints along the way, making it easy to pause for photos while enjoying the view.

Portraits along Port Lympia

Afterwards, we stopped along Quai Rauba Capeu, the waterfront stretch at the end of the Promenade. This is the famous viewpoint where you can sit along the ledge with the full curve of the coastline behind you. It is one of the most recognisable sunset views in the city.

Soft Sunset Lighting

We continued walking along the same road toward the port, capturing more sunset portraits along the way. The soft evening light against the sea created a relaxed and romantic atmosphere.

We finished near Port Lympia, where there is a beautiful view of the harbour and colourful buildings in the background. The session ended right at sunset, giving them a complete gallery that showcased several of Nice’s most iconic coastal locations in just one hour.
