ABOUT US

Klaudia Ramirez
&
Andrea Martinetti

Moonlight Photography is a wedding photography studio run by Klaudia Ramirez and Andrea Martinetti, a husband-and-wife team based in Montfavet, near Avignon. From May to October, Klaudia and Andrea photograph weddings across Provence (the Luberon, the Alpilles, Avignon, Aix-en-Provence) and the rest of the South of France. From November to April, the studio works on the Riviera Maya, in Mexico.

Andrea photographs in a documentary way: real moments, as they happen, never staged. Klaudia brings an editorial eye to portraits, inspired by fashion. Couples get both: the day as we witnessed it, and a few timeless portraits, so the rest of the afternoon stays yours.

Klaudia is from the Dominican Republic and Andrea from Italy. Together they work in English, French, Spanish and Italian, which is why many of their couples are international and multicultural.

HOW IT FELT

More than the photographs,
this is how it felt

Couples who hire Moonlight Photography rarely talk first about the pictures. They talk about how the day felt with Klaudia and Andrea around: calm, discreet, easy.

01

Discreet, never staged

Klaudia and Andrea work quietly in the background, so the day unfolds without interruptions.

“It never felt intrusive or staged, just seamless and authentic.”

Grecia Diaz · Google review

“They knew exactly how to stay discreet for the rest of the day, while still capturing our story and its emotions beautifully.”

Margot · Photopresta review

02

At ease in front of the camera

No stiff posing: gentle guidance when it helps, then real moments.

“They made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera.”

Mario Ramirez · Google review

“Very professional photographers who know how to adapt to their clients — and wonderfully generous with their time.”

Stéphanie · Airbnb review

03

Part of the family, not in the way

Several cultures, several ceremonies, a crowd of friends: Klaudia and Andrea fit right in.

“They didn’t feel like ‘the photography team’, they felt like part of the family.”

June Joseph · Google review

“Our kids felt relaxed and genuinely enjoyed the session, even in the summer heat.”

Jane · Airbnb review

“To us they’re more than just our photographers, they’re an extension of our family.”

Provence, a unique setting

Provence offers a rare diversity of settings for a photo session: perched villages, lavender fields, olive groves, calanques and stone farmhouses. It’s this variety of light and landscape that makes it one of our favorite regions for capturing your most beautiful moments.

Gordes

Its stone houses stacked on a rocky outcrop make it one of the most photogenic villages in the region — perfect for late-afternoon portraits, when the stone takes on a golden hue.

Roussillon

Its ochre façades, ranging from pink to deep red, offer an almost otherworldly palette of colors in raking light.

Les Alpilles

With their limestone ridges and olive groves, they bring a wilder, timeless backdrop, ideal for sessions in open nature.

Avignon

The Palais des Papes and medieval streets add a historic, urban dimension to the session — a lovely contrast with the surrounding countryside.

We know these places from having explored them many times, and we know where to find the light at the right moment.

Planning your photo session in Provence: what to know

If you’re planning a photo session in Provence or more broadly in PACA, a few practical pointers may be useful.

The season: from June to September, Provençal light is at its most beautiful — warm at the end of the day, with the deep blue sky typical of southern summers. Spring (May) offers softer light and the advantage of still-green landscapes, before the summer heat sets in.

Lavender blooming: this is one of the questions we’re asked most often. Lavender fields generally bloom from late June to late July, but this period varies each year depending on heat and sunshine — a hotter year can bring the bloom forward by several days, a cooler year can delay it. If lavender fields in bloom are part of your vision, we recommend staying flexible on the date, or planning a dedicated session slightly before or after, to leave nothing to chance.

Distances: the Luberon, Avignon, the Alpilles and the Vaucluse are all close to one another — less than an hour’s drive separates most of the region’s iconic locations, making it easy to combine several settings in a single day.

Reception venues: Provençal farmhouses, wine estates, bastides or Mediterranean gardens — for the big day, the region is full of addresses with authentic charm, each with its own light and space considerations, which we take into account from our very first conversations with you.

We are based in Montfavet, near Avignon, which allows us to easily cover the whole territory — from the Luberon to the Camargue.

Andrea and Klaudia were so kind and accommodating during our session. They made the whole experience fun and easy, and our kids felt relaxed and genuinely enjoyed the it, even in the mid-80s heat! They guided us through so many beautiful alleys and picturesque spots around Gordes, and the photos turned out absolutely lovely and candid. They were also very responsive and punctual on the day of the shoot, and we were amazed to receive our photos just two days later! Thank you so much again.
An absolutely wonderful experience with Andréa and Klaudia, exceptional photographers! They know perfectly how to adapt to their clients and make the whole family feel at ease, ensuring everyone has a truly wonderful time. Generously kind, friendly, and caring, they captured marvelous moments with such naturalness. And the result is simply sublime: we are delighted with the photos and this beautiful experience, which will remain a cherished memory for the whole family. We wholeheartedly recommend them and will gladly do it again!

Working in the film industry, and knowing that photos last even longer than memories, choosing our wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions we made during our preparations, and today we can say without hesitation that we made the best choice! From our very first conversations, we felt listened to, reassured, and supported. On the big day, you blended in so seamlessly and kindly that we almost forgot you were there. You immediately put us and our loved ones at ease with your invaluable advice, and everything flowed so naturally. Beyond the MAGNIFICENT photos, it's above all your humanity, your kindness, and your sensitivity that we will remember. You captured our day exactly as we experienced it, with so much emotion and sincerity... Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for immortalizing one of the most beautiful days of our lives. We relive every moment through your photos thanks to you, and it's a very precious gift ❤️

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Moonlight Photography's wedding coverage in Provence starts at €1,600 for 5 hours with one photographer, ideal for intimate or civil weddings. A full day (8 hours, Klaudia and Andrea together) is €2,400; 12+ hours and multi-day weddings start at €3,000. Prices include taxes. Couple and family sessions start at €300.

A sneak peek, a private online gallery with all photos retouched in high resolution (about 75 per hour of coverage) and an Instagram slideshow. Optional extras: film photography (5 rolls, +€500) and original files (+€500).

Summer Saturdays go first. Most couples book 9–14 months ahead, and Klaudia and Andrea are now booking 2027 and 2028.

It depends on which moments matter most to you. Make a list (getting ready, first look, ceremony, family photos, speeches, cake cutting, first dance) and check they all fit inside your coverage. If your schedule is still flexible, move the key moments into that window rather than adding hours. As a guide: 5 hours for an intimate or civil wedding, 8 hours for most Provence weddings, 12+ hours for late parties, several venues or several days. Before booking, give Klaudia and Andrea a call: together you'll work out how many hours you really need.

Klaudia and Andrea are based in Montfavet, near Avignon, and cover the whole South of France: Avignon, the Luberon (Gordes, Roussillon, Lourmarin), the Alpilles (Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Les Baux), Arles and the Camargue, Aix-en-Provence, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Marseille and the Côte d'Azur (Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez). They also photograph weddings elsewhere in France, in Europe and worldwide. For venues more than 200 km from Avignon, travel costs are added according to the distance, so please include your venue when you get in touch.

Nothing is left to chance. When Klaudia and Andrea work together they bring three cameras, five lenses and spare memory cards, so any piece of equipment can be swapped in seconds. Every wedding is backed up the same night, as soon as they get home. The celebratory beer waits until your photos are safe.

Yes, on request. For privacy reasons, complete galleries aren't published online, but Klaudia and Andrea are happy to share a couple of full weddings privately. Tell them a little about your day (number of guests, getting-ready photos, children, a relaxed no-posing celebration…) and they'll pick the galleries closest to what you're planning.

Yes. A video call is the usual first step, and couples already in Provence can meet Klaudia and Andrea in person near Avignon.

No, and this is what Moonlight Photography does best: natural photos, without stressing the couple with poses. Instead of posing you, Klaudia and Andrea create the right situation. They choose the light and the background, give you something simple to do (walk, talk, hold each other, share a joke) and photograph what happens naturally. You stay yourselves and the photos look like you. The rest of the day is photographed in a documentary way, with no directions at all; couples often say they forgot the camera was there.

Plan them around your day, not around the sunset. What matters in the photos is you, not the light or the background, and a good photographer can make great pictures in any light. Klaudia and Andrea would rather you didn't miss an important or fun moment of your own wedding just because it's sunset. Build your schedule around what you want to do and keep the portraits short and relaxed, so they feel like part of the celebration. If you do want something specific, like sunset in the vineyards, tell them and they'll plan it with you. In Provence the sun sets around 9:30 pm in June and July, and between 7:30 and 8:15 pm in September.

Both work; it's your call. A first look frees up time for portraits, lets you enjoy the cocktail hour with your guests and takes some pressure off each other. It's a good choice if you're shy or would rather not cry in front of family and friends at the aisle. Without it, the moment at the aisle stays a surprise and portraits move later in the day.

A €500 deposit saves your date, and you can choose your final package later. Payment by bank transfer, Wise, or card via Stripe (+5%). Prices include taxes. Your full gallery is delivered within 60 days and stays online for 6 months, with unlimited downloads.
