Jewish wedding photographer in Monaco - Laurent Baranes

Jewish wedding photographer Monaco - Houppa, Palaces, Luxury worldwide | Laurent Baranes

Jewish wedding photographer in Monaco, Laurent Baranes accompanies you in an ultra-luxurious setting: sea-facing chupa, traditions, synagogue, private villas and 5-star hotels.

Monaco: a prestigious Jewish wedding between tradition and excellence

Monaco is a unique destination for an upscale Jewish wedding. This micro-State on the Mediterranean coast combines spectacular natural scenery, luxury infrastructure, an international social calendar and a secure legal framework.
It's the perfect place for a seaside chuppah, a terrace dinner under the stars, and an uncompromisingly exceptional party.

I am Laurent Baranes, Jewish wedding photographer based in France, ranked 57ᵉ best photographer worldwide. I have accompanied numerous weddings in the principality and abroad. My approach is based on a mastery of Jewish tradition, the pursuit of high-end aesthetics, and total discretion in confidential worlds.

Prestigious venues for a Jewish wedding in Monaco

🕍 Religious ceremony

  • Edmond Safra Synagogue in Monte-Carlo: official recognition, sober, modern architecture, close proximity to the palaces
  • Outdoor chuppa: on a terrace overlooking the sea, in a palace garden, or at the Yacht Club

🏛 Exceptional receptions and dinners

  • Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo: absolute icon of Monegasque luxury, palace service, rooftop & patio for houppa or dinner
  • Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo: Eiffel dome, Belle Époque lounges, harbour view
  • Yacht Club de Monaco: panoramic view, futuristic design, possibility of houppa on terrace
  • Villa La Vigie (former Karl Lagerfeld villa): mythical setting, private garden, breathtaking sea view
  • Casino de Monte-Carlo terraces: a breathtaking venue for ceremonies or cocktails

🌴 Photo session

  • Jardins Saint-Martin: lush vegetation on a cliff, sea view
  • Fairmont terraces: golden light on the Mediterranean
  • Larvotto beaches: low-angled light, clear sand, perfect horizon
  • Old Monaco & Palais Princier: stone staircases, old streets, ochre hues and history

Jewish weddings in Monaco: tradition and mastery of every moment

I'm used to photographing every stage of a religious or mixed Jewish wedding, in an international, multilingual and often very demanding environment.

I capture with precision:

  • Separate preparations in palace suites
  • Blessings, personal letters and shared emotions
  • Kétouba & Bedeken: often held in a private room or on a rooftop
  • Houppa at sunset: floating fabrics, sea in the background, meticulous staging
  • Broken glass ritual, traditional songs, family circle, spectacular entrances
  • Separate or mixed dances, orchestrated evenings with DJ or live orchestra, moments of grace and exuberance

Photographic style

  • Cinematic framing, controlled lighting (indoors and by the sea)
  • Discreet but precise direction (I know how to work with international wedding planners)
  • Mastery of Mediterranean contrasts and large, luminous spaces
  • High-end reporting, sincere emotions, timeless aesthetics

Testimonial

"Our wedding in Monaco was a dream, between houppa at sunset, dinner in the salons of the Hermitage and partying until dawn. Laurent knew how to remain discreet while capturing every highlight with a rare elegance. His images will stay with us forever."
- Esther & David, Monaco
