Riva is your premium photographer on the French Riviera, built for clients who want more than an ordinary shoot, a fully bespoke experience, scouted, scripted and discreet. From Saint-Tropez to Cap-Ferrat, Monaco to Cannes, we tailor every session to the moment: yacht days aboard your charter, villa events, surprise proposals, intimate weddings, family trips, parties and editorial portraits. Every shoot is private, every gallery editorial, every delivery within seven days.
From first call to final delivery.
A short call to understand your moment, your style, the people, the place. We agree on the shot list, the timing, the discretion level. We scout your locations and plan the light, the route, the moments.
One or two photographers, full gear, ready for any condition (yacht deck, villa terrace, dusk, low-light, marine). We blend into your day. No stiff poses. No interruptions. As natural as if we were not there.
We edit every photo individually (color, skin, scene). A preview within 48 hours, your full private gallery within 7 days. Want a specific editing style or a particular feel? Just tell the photographer, we adapt and re-edit until it's exactly right.
