  • Paris Elopement: Jody & Paul from California, USA


    I met Jody and Paul early one morning ​last week ​at the Four Seasons George V, a luxury five-star hotel just off the Champs-Elysées to discuss their Paris elopement. Although they had arrived late in the evening the night before, Jody looked ​fresh and lovely as she walked in to greet me. Paul had one of those smiles that is just so contagious that you cannot help but smile right back and immediately feel happy. While Jody and I chatted about their plans, Paul went out to get an extra bottle of champagne from Hediard for their big day. ​Olivier from WeddingLight; our Paris wedding photographer beautifully documented this lovely wedding day.

    The couple wanted to enjoy something intimate ​and special together here in Paris before traveling to New Orleans where they would be having a big celebration – Cajun style – with all of their friends and family.

    The next morning began with a massage at the hotel followed by hair and makeup for Jody done by our wonderful duo, Fred and Muriel. Jody opted for simple makeup and gorgeous soft curls to go go with her vintage French-laced gown and pearls – oo la la! Her bouquet of cream colored roses was taken care of by the hotel whose amazing florist is none other than Jeff Leatham. They then went off for a photo tour through Paris with our fabulous and fun photographer, Olivier Lalin of WeddingLight Photography. We are definitely thanking him for capturing these beautiful moments!

    But, that was not the end of things for Jody and Paul. Since both of them are avid boat lovers, they decided to have their ceremony on a private yacht followed by a gourmet three-course dinner and three-hour cruise along the Seine. How romantic!

  • Advice: Before a Parisian “I do”

    Getting married in Paris, or any other destination location can be daunting for many couples. Sometime’s it can be the jet lag upon arrival and having to settle in for a few days to a new culture and environment or it can be the language barrier that can take a bit of adjusting. Whatever the reason,  we are here to make sure everything is smooth sailing – and that includes everything from help with the administrative aspects of marrying in France, to the hand-holding stage that might happen before you say the big “I Do” without your family and friends (if you’ve decided to elope).

  • Inspiration: Paris Black and White Photography

    Like a romantic scene from an old movie – black and white film captures an essence that’s not the same with color photos. Who remembers how in love we all fell with the movie The Artist; the black and white silent film with french actors Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo?

    It captures a depth that more and more couples demand from their Paris wedding photographer. We are happy that we have a great team to suggest to our clients visiting Paris, who want this classic French touch.

    We try to have all our couples at ease rather quickly.  To be fully comfortable with your photographer or videographer is no easy work if you’re not a model, but we make the process easier by making sure that you have access to your Paris wedding photographer
    or videographer to ask as many questions before hand and build up a rapport.

    Paris has no shortage of lovely places; gardens, fountains and chic streets to take your photos. You can choose to do a shoot that includes all the iconic places.  Or not. You can also choose to do a shoot Off-the-Beaten-Path that includes places of interest based on your particular areas of interest (music, art, food, etc). The photographers from WeddingLight are always receptive to talk about your vision of your day.
