Scenic, Charming & Fun Couples Photo Sessions
Provence, France
Elegant, Light-Filled Couples Photography in the South of France
Are you dreaming of romantic couples photos in Provence? Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, anniversary, honeymoon, or simply the beauty of your relationship, I’m here to document your connection with timeless, editorial-style imagery.
As a Provence couples photographer, I specialize in creating light-filled, intimate portraits that feel effortlessly romantic. My approach is both artistic and natural, blending quiet moments with sweeping landscapes—lavender fields, historic villages, sun-drenched vineyards, and olive groves. I offer sessions across the region: from the golden hues of Gordes and the lavender fields of Valensole to the rustic charm of Arles & Les Baux de Provence.
Every session is relaxed and tailored to you—no stiff posing, just authentic connection. I’ll guide you gently, helping you feel comfortable and present so the images feel like you.
Inspired by film, fashion, and natural light, I photograph your love with intention, emotion, and editorial elegance.

Experience a Beautifully Guided Walk Through Historic Arles
Arles is a super charming, historic town in Provence. Arles boasts a number of splendid Roman ruins which are on the UNESCO World Heritage site list. In addition, painter Vincent Van Gogh moved to Arles in 1888 and spent a year painting in the soft sunlight, some of his best work! These days, Arles is incredibly charming, with its grand 17th century homes, tons of greenery, and famous Roman amphitheater. But not only that, Arles boasts incredible restaurants, interesting museums, world class events, like the annual photography festival, and is surrounded by nature. In short, it's not only a magnificent and fun place to be photographed, but a great place to spend a day, too! It's 10/10 worth the trip!

I'm Karina, a dynamic, high energy passionate professional photographer in France, living in France since 2014. I'm originally from the United States and English is my native language. I also speak French! You can learn more about me here.
The rate for Provence Couples Photo Sessions start at 475€, please see more details above or email me at karina@karinaleigh.com and I'll get back to you right away!
I completely understand! That's why I approach photo sessions in Provence very casually and it's more like a photo walk or photo tour than stressful photo session. We'll be seeing Provence together, and I'll give you gentle guidance so that you don't feel uncomfortable, but so that we'll capture some amazing memories for you. It's designed to be a no stress, fun experience!
I love to photograph couples in the morning for several reasons. First, it's less crowded in the morning and makes for a more pleasant experience to have a bit of Provence to ourselves. Second, in the summer months in particular, it can get quite bright and hot the later we go, so it's also more comfortable in the morning. We usually start at 8:00 am, or in summer we can also start at 7:00 am or sunrise. If your schedule only permits afternoons, we can also make that work!
After you reserve with me, I'll be sending you my exclusive Couples Style Guide, which will have tips on what to wear. In general, light fabrics are best in the summer months, and monochromatic outfits usually look best, although sometimes patterns can work as well.
Yes, if you like, I can also recommend a makeup/hair artist that will help you look your very best!
In Arles, we'll be meeting at the old Roman amphitheater and I'll send you directions. We'll walk, Arles is so compact! In Les Baux, we'll meet at the entrance to the village.
Booking is so easy, just send me an email here to request your date, and I'll let you know of my availability. If we're less than a month out, I'll request the entire amount, otherwise, a non-refundable retainer of 150€ is requested to reserve your date, and the balance would be due 30 days before we meet. You may pay online via secure credit card payment.
