About

I'm Stella Marina.

I'm Stella Marina, wedding photographer and creator of editorial experiences. For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to worlds where every detail tells a story.

A carefully mastered light, a harmonious palette, a flower chosen with intention, a striking piece of architecture: any one of them can turn a simple photograph into a timeless image. That vision is what led me to imagine editorial workshops where nothing is left to chance.

Each edition is conceived as a true creative project, from the choice of location to the artistic direction, from the selection of vendors and gowns to the floral compositions and every element of decor. My goal is to build coherent, refined and inspiring worlds, so that photographers walk away with far more than a shoot: an immersive experience and a truly exceptional portfolio.

I believe deeply that the strongest images are born where creativity meets exacting craft. Through my workshops, I bring passionate photographers together in the most emblematic places of the Côte d'Azur, share a demanding editorial vision, and give each one the chance to leave with images that are elegant, timeless and full of meaning.

Welcome to my world

The workshops

IN APRIL 2027, AN EVENING AND A DAY ON THE RIVIERA. ONE EDITORIAL EXPERIENCE.

An evening to meet in Grasse, a full day to create at Château Diter. Fifteen places, no more.

For Couples

Château Diter · Grasse

Fine art weddings and Tuscan elegance in an iconic Riviera château.

What every workshop looks like

The same intention, from the first light to the final frame.

Every session is different in its setting, its couple and its atmosphere. But what you'll find in each is built on the same intention: a fully immersive editorial day, thought through in every detail, from the first light to the final frame.

  • A wedding dress photographed like an editorial still life

    An iconic Riviera location.

    Each workshop takes place in a setting you couldn't book on your own: an iconic château above Grasse, and the destinations to come. Places chosen for their light, their history and their editorial power.

  • An unposed embrace caught between two moments

    A styled editorial couple.

    A real couple, styled and directed with a fine art wedding sensibility, ready to move, to feel and to be photographed. You focus entirely on your craft, not on logistics.

  • A table set with restraint, in pale linen and glass

    Fine art art direction, live.

    Composition, styling, storytelling, the reading of light in a real space. I share the way I see and the way I direct, in real time, as the day unfolds.

  • Late afternoon light falling across a terrace on the Riviera

    A publication-worthy portfolio.

    By the end of the day, you leave with a body of editorial images that belong in a magazine, and the confidence to attract the couples and brands you want to work with next.

Why work with me

A workshop that couldn't be replicated.

There are plenty of ways to learn on the French Riviera. What makes this one different is simple: I still shoot editorial weddings every season, in the same light and the same locations I open up to you.

My eye is shaped by both fine art wedding photography and fashion editorial storytelling, a rare combination you'll feel in every direction I give.

Add to that intentionally intimate groups of fifteen and locations built on years of local relationships, and you get a workshop that couldn't quite be replicated anywhere else.
