Vacation Photography

Vacation photography is a growing genre of photography offered by professional photographers living all over the world. Selfies are great but they don’t compare to professional photos.

I know so many couples or families that don’t have any good photos of everyone in the frame. That is where I come in…

How Does it Work?

We decide on a stunning backdrop for your photos depending on where you’re staying in the region or where you’re visiting that day. Photo shoots are generally in the morning or evening to take advantage of the golden light.

Where are the Photo Shoots?

vacation photography curiousprovence

Photo shoots are generally in the Luberon or Alpilles regions. Keep in mind that the Côte d’Azur (Nice, St Tropez etc) is a little far from here.

If you’ve rented a villa and would like a photo shoot on the property, that is no problem.

The most popular destinations are hilltop towns combined with a nearby landscape that includes either lavender, sunflowers, mountains, olive groves or vineyards depending on the time of year.

How Long Are the Photo Shoots?

After coordination and date and location, you pick the length of the photo shoot. This ranges anywhere from 30 minutes to a whole day, with 1 or 1.5 hours being the most popular. The longer the photo shoot, the more locations we can explore. Combining photos of both the countryside and a beautiful hilltop town is ideal.

What do I Wear?

On the day of the shoot, you meet me wearing whatever makes you feel pretty at the designated location. High heels are often tricky on cobblestones or fields, but possible for the determined. I would suggest wearing lighter colours, something evocative of Provence! Wardrobe changes are no problem.

The meeting points are chosen with care so that you can find the spot easily, such as a local café. Or, in the situation of a surprise photo shoot in a field or other such romantic secluded location, (in the case of a proposal photo shoot) we make sure that the hopeful groom to be knows where’s he’s going!

My Style

The photo shoots are great fun and clients often comment that the photo shoot was the highlight of their Provence experience. I provide a relaxed atmosphere during the photo shoot with a priority on capturing natural reactions and joy. Nothing too posed.

When and How Do You Receive the Photos?

The edited digital files are delivered to you within 12 working days and often sooner. This quick turn around time allows you to share with your loved ones memories from your vacation as soon as you get back home.

How Much Does it Cost?

Photo shoots range in price from 175€ (30 minutes) to 600€ (half day flat rate fee). Prices may change depending on the location of the photo shoot so don’t hesitate to email me for more information.

Romantic Photo Shoots in Les Baux de Provence

October 6, 2017 by ashleyt 1 Comment

Romantic or family vacation photo shoots are becoming quite the trend. It’s a fantastic way to get a gorgeous photo as a souvenir from your vacation, and it’s a lot of fun too!

Depending on the town and how much time we have, I like to combine both architecture photos as well as countryside photos. This is easily done in the many hilltop towns in the Luberon such as Gordes and Roussillon. If you’re near Les Baux de Provence, these are examples of combinations all within 5 minutes of each other.

Les Baux de Provence

At this beautiful Medieval hilltop town, you see an amazing view from the Castle that is bathed in gorgeous golden light at the end of the day. You’re close to 5-star Hotel Baumaniere and Domaine de Manville as well as numerous stunning olive orchards and vineyards.

The Old Manor House at Hotel Baumaniere is a stunning backdrop. This couple did a whole vow renewal ceremony during the photo shoot.

Olive Orchards and Grape Vines

This is the olive capital of France and not only will you find the best olive oil here, but some seriously stunning olive orchards. Some of the olive mills nearby are Moulin de Castelas, Château Estoublon, Moulin Jean-Marie Cornille, Moulin à huile d’olive Calanquet and more. My neighbour has an orchard here. I buy directly from her!

The grape vines are of course equally as stunning. You can meander the vines belonging to Mas Ste Berthe and Mas de la Dame.

The Castle and town of Les Baux de Provence

The castle is worth a visit for not only it’s ruins but the stunning views. On a clear day you can see all the way to the Mediterranean. The plateau surrounding the hilltop town was planted with olives and vines by the Romans and before them, the Greeks. The landscapa hasn’t changed in thousands of years.

Lots of exploring! Not only are there flowers to notice but if you look at the rocks you’ll see there are many shell fossils within them. This is because twice during pre-historic times this area was covered by the sea all the way up to Lyon.

The town of Le Baux is covered in cobblestones and cute winding roads. Perfect for meandering.
