Wedding Photographer in Monaco & Monte-Carlo

Refined, natural reportage on the Riviera and beyond

Monaco is a world of its own: palaces, superyachts, the harbour of Monte-Carlo and the sea as a backdrop. A wedding here calls for a photographer who is at ease in that setting and never intrusive. I am Gilles Perbal, with 30 years of experience and more than 1,000 weddings. My work has been published in Brides Magazine and Forbes, I hold the title of Portraitiste de France and I am ranked among the Top 100 wedding photographers in the world. I photograph across Monaco, the French Riviera and far beyond, all the way to Paris.

Monte-Carlo, glamour and discretion

The grand hotels, the terraces above the marina, the light bouncing off the water at dusk. Monaco is spectacular, but it also has its rules: tight spaces, precise access, an atmosphere to respect. That is where experience counts. I know how to move through a palace ceremony without ever getting in the way, and how to turn a Riviera evening into images that feel both elegant and alive.

Real moments, never posed

I work as a photojournalist. I do not stage your day, I follow it, blending in among your guests, quietly. What I look for is real: the laughter, the tender looks, the emotion of the evening. No stiff poses, no groups moved around for an hour. You live your wedding, and I keep it intact. After 30 years, I have handled every situation, so on the day you have only one thing to do: enjoy it.

For international couples

Couples come to Monaco and the Riviera from all over the world, and I am used to welcoming them. I plan the logistics ahead, I anticipate access and timing, and I guide you through the day so nothing is left to chance. Your gallery is delivered within two to three weeks, each image retouched by hand, one at a time, with your files backed up twice from the evening of the wedding. Your memories are safe.
