Dans cet article, je partage les hôtels que je recommande pour tes vœux, les raisons qui font de ces lieux des destinations de rêve, et comment je transforme chaque cliché en souvenir éternel. Si tu veux que ton jour de mariage soit aussi magique que l’endroit, lis la suite, et n’hésite pas à me contacter pour qu’on crée ensemble tes souvenirs inoubliables.
The Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, ultimate luxury for your big day
When I set up to capture your wedding in Bora Bora, I always start with the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora. This 5‑star resort, located on the lagoon’s edge, offers a setting where turquoise water blends with the whiteness of palm trees, creating an almost unreal backdrop for an intimate ceremony.
A breathtaking setting
From the moment you arrive, you discover the private over‑water villas that give the impression of being at the heart of the lagoon. The couples I accompany often tell me that the view from their villa makes every shot unique, with golden reflections at sunset. The Four Seasons also offers a sand reception service, perfect for a photo session where modern architecture marries lush nature.
A service that amplifies the magic
The resort staff is renowned for their attention to detail: a private orchestra, champagne in hand, and smooth coordination between the reception hall and the lake. From my experience, these elements allow spontaneous moments to be captured without any constraints. The chefs’ availability to create a bespoke menu adds an authentic touch to your photos.
Why choose this destination?
The Four Seasons also offers exclusive access to private beaches, notably Matira Beach, ideal for romantic portraits. The resort often hosts beach ceremonies at sunset, which gives a warm, golden color palette that I master perfectly thanks to my natural documentary style.
My approach for your photos
In my Gold package, I include two hours of on‑site shooting, plus an hour of post‑production to fine‑tune each image. I make sure to capture not only the big moments but also the small gestures that tell your story. The Four Seasons, with its bright spaces and panoramic views, gives me the opportunity to create timeless images.
This is exactly what I include in my Gold package: a photo session on the resort site, where every detail is designed to immortalize your love. Book your session on lanaphoto.art to experience this moment with me.
The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort, elegance by the lagoon
When I find myself at the St. Regis, inspiration comes naturally. The resort, located on the island of Bora Bora, stands on the turquoise lagoon’s edge, offering a setting where the sky reflects in the water like a liquid mirror. I have photographed more than 30 weddings here, and every couple tells me they feel like in a fairy tale.
An exceptional setting
The St. Regis offers wooden suites and over‑water cabins that line the shoreline. The white sand and palm trees create a striking contrast with the deep blue lagoon. For weddings, I often use the infinity pool, which offers an endless water backdrop, ideal for capturing silhouettes at sunset. From my experience, the most magical moments happen between 5 pm and 7 pm, when the golden light envelopes the place.
Integration of local culture
The resort offers authentic Tahitian ceremonies, with dancers and musicians. I incorporate these elements into my shots, capturing gestures, traditional attire, and expressions of emotion. The presence of a lush vegetation hill in the background adds a touch of greenery that contrasts with the crystal water.
My photographic approach
I favor ambient light, letting nature guide my compositions. Outdoor portraits benefit from organic retouching, preserving the warmth of natural colors. For couples who want more formal images, I use a small additional light, always discreet to preserve the serene ambiance of the place.
What I include
In my Gold package, the session at the St. Regis is already included. It includes one hour of shooting, 40 retouched photos, and access to a private online gallery. If you want more time, the Diamond package allows you to extend the session to two hours, with more photos and an additional couple session.

The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa, the natural setting that inspires
When I arrive at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort Thalasso Spa, the first feeling I get is being enveloped by preserved and luxurious nature. The resort, located on the east coast, offers direct access to a crystal lagoon, where light reflects on the white sand and palms sway gently. I often capture couples walking along the path that snakes between coconut trees, their silhouettes standing out against the azure sky. From my experience, the combination of a natural setting and modern architecture creates images that are both intense and delicate.
The magic of suspended moments
I favor moments when light is soft, especially around 3 pm, just before sunset. That’s when the lagoon becomes a golden mirror, and the clouds tint pink. I use my 50 mm lens to capture the proximity of details: a partner’s smile, how wind plays on hair, or the texture of the fabric of the veil. Photos taken here have a natural rendering, without excessive saturation, faithful to the color palette found in the Polynesian landscape.
A setting that adapts to your package
Whether you choose a Silver, Gold or Diamond session, the InterContinental offers unique viewpoints. The Silver, with 45 minutes of shooting, allows me to take a few key shots in the exotic garden, while the Gold, which extends over 1h20, includes a walk on the resort’s deck for panoramic lagoon views. The Diamond, on the other hand, benefits from a longer duration and privileged access to the infinity pool, where I capture couple images at the water’s edge, the sun reflecting on the waves. All with the same documentary style and organic retouching that characterize my work.
In my sessions, I make sure to stay discreet, so your emotions remain natural. The resort, with its green spaces and wooden structures, creates a perfect backdrop for timeless memories.
This is exactly what I include in my Gold package, where every moment is designed to immortalize the purity of your love in an unforgettable natural setting. Book your session on lanaphoto.art to experience this moment with me.
Realizing your dream: how I plan your photo session in these hotels
When I plan a wedding photo session in Bora Bora, I always start with a pre‑session visit with the couple. I make sure each hotel – Four Seasons, St Regis, InterContinental – offers spots that match the story they want to tell. From my experience, sunsets on the Four Seasons lagoon, the tiare gardens of St Regis and the wooden terraces of InterContinental create unique atmospheres.
1. The day’s flow
I structure the day in three phases: the intimate moment in the morning, the grand décor in the afternoon, and free shots in the evening. In Silver, I include 45 minutes on the welcome theme, 20 retouched photos and a 5‑minute shoot at sunset on the lagoon. The Gold package adds a 40‑minute session in St Regis’s garden, 40 retouched photos and a shot of the Opunohu Bay beach, while the Diamond offers 2 hours of shooting in total, 60 retouched photos and the inclusion of a flower crown photo offered by Four Seasons.
2. Favorite spots
- Four Seasons lagoon: filtered light through palms offers a golden halo, perfect for couple portraits.
- St Regis tiare garden: tropical flowers create a romantic setting, ideal for outdoor poses.
- InterContinental wooden terrace: panoramic view of the water, ideal for group shots.
Each hotel allows me to work in ambient light, without flash, to keep the scene authentic. I also coordinate with hotel staff to avoid any interruption.
3. What I include
In each package, I deliver a private online gallery, accessible via a secure link. All photos are exported in high resolution, ready for print or online distribution. I also handle the organic retouching follow‑up, ensuring each image reflects Bora Bora’s natural beauty.
This is exactly what I include in my Gold package: a dream setting, authentic moments and quick delivery of your memories. Book your session on lanaphoto.art to experience this moment with me.
Frequently Asked Questions
