Why choose Christening in Aix-en-Provence?
The lavender everyone comes for is cut in the first days of August. Almost every disappointed Provence booking is that one fact, learned late. That is what decides how a Christening session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Aix-en-Provence and shoots across Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Plateau de Valensole, the window to aim for is sunrise, late june to 20 july. The session runs 3 hours and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in Aix-en-Provence look like?
The typical route runs 3 hours and stays on foot. We start at Plateau de Valensole and move on to Cours Mirabeau et le vieil Aix. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops without getting into a car, and the walk between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.
What does the package include?
The Christening package in Aix-en-Provence covers: 80 retouched photographs; Ceremony and the gathering afterwards; Group portrait of the whole family; Private gallery within 72 hours. Nothing is added to the price after the session. Permits worth knowing about: Plateau de Valensole — Fields are private working farmland — ask before entering.
