ABOUT CARL THOMSON | FRENCH RIVIERA WEDDING & EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Professional Photographer Carl Thomson with his son Jules

My son Jules and I

Welcome! I’m an English photographer based in Cannes on the French Riviera, specialising in luxury weddings, events, and editorial photography. My work is guided by a love of people and storytellingβ€”capturing genuine moments with elegance, emotion, and a timeless aesthetic.

Over the years, my camera has taken me from intimate Riviera weddings to royal engagements. I’ve had the honour of photographing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, and I’ve covered high-profile events for the British government and leading figures including Emanuelle Macron, Prince Albert II of Monaco, Justin Trudeau, Harry & Meghan, Lachlan Murdoch, and Grant Cardone.

My fashion and weddingphotography has been published by Vogue Italia, and I was privileged to capture the wedding of David Beckham’s sisterβ€”an unforgettable celebration of style and emotion.

Whether you’re planning a destination wedding, a private celebration, or an exclusive event, I bring professionalism, creativity, and a cinematic eye to every shootβ€”ensuring your story is captured beautifully and authentically.
