    Paris Elopement: Australians Nhu and Norman’s Bohemian Elopement

    ​Our Aussie couples always have so much style (and fun)! Nhu and Norman came from down under with their adorable 1-year old daughter to celebrate their elopement in Paris. They went all out with a lovely pink bohemian theme incorporating tons of pink florals and some fabulous large balloons for their photo session. The bride wore a beautiful, airy silk gown with a dreamy train, which she paired with glamorous pearled sandals. For her hair and makeup, she decided on a loose romantic chignon with a single bright pink peony and some baby’s breath and gorgeous pink lips to match.

    The couple exchanged vows on a quiet cobblestoned street near Notre Dame officiated by our fabulous officiant, Igor. Amelia, who was dressed in a pretty white ruffled dress and darling floral crown to match her mother’s flowers, was there to toss some rose petals as confetti in celebration of her parents love. Following the ceremony, the adorable family traveled around our lovely city of love for some photos with our amazing photographer, Olivier before finishing their fun-filled day with a delicious meal at one of Paris’ famed restaurants.

    Just before leaving, Nhu sent over this very thoughtful note to say thank you…

    “Just wanted to drop you a brief email to say THANKS for everything! Our wedding was amazing and It was perfect for us! Olivier [photographer] was awesome and we can’t wait to see the pics!! Christina [babysitter] was also fantastic with Amelia! And Amelia loved her! Shame about the cherry blossom trees, but Olivier made it work! The quiet street we got married at was really cute and Igor [officiant] was great too! We loved his words Norman was very impressed in the end so as long as he is happy then we have both done a great job! Haha. But it was mainly all you! Thanks again for organising everything, we are both so happy with how everything turned out Everything was perfect.”

  • Paris Elopement: Roxanne & Dennis’ Parc Monceau Ceremony

    Roxanne and Dennis contacted us a few months ago to help them plan a small ceremony in Paris with their two teenage daughters. The lovely California family were traveling through Europe and were in London before having planned to pop over to Paris for the big Roland Garros tennis tournament. Their ceremony was schedule for the day before and after arriving from the train station, Roxanne was pampered by our fabulous hair and makeup team in their Paris apartment in the 1st arrondissement. Our wonderful florist handled the bride’s bouquet: a beautiful arrangement of vibrant pink peonies, cream and peach coloured roses and some soft greens to compliment. The couple and their two girls were then whisked away by our friendly car service to their ceremony location: Park Monceau. The intimate ceremony was held on a beautiful bridge overlooking the rest of the park and officiated by our amazing officiant, Igor. Then the group was off to tour the rest of the city with our incredible photographer, Olivier Lalin.

  • Elopement Video: Betsey & Ryan’s Luxembourg Garden Elopement

    Our memories are precious and cinema is wonderful way to preserve and document your special day for forever. This is also a lovely way to share your day with your loved ones at home, especially if you have chosen to elope to Paris.  This charming couple from Dallas, Texas decided to do just that!
    WeddingLight Paris handcrafted Betsey and Ryan’s elopement film helping them capture the story of how it all began, their beautiful ceremony in the gorgeous Luxembourg gardens with one of our friendly officiants and their day celebrating their love. All the emotion, joy and laughter was captured in an expertly edited video that will become more than a keepsake for this couple.

  • Paris Elopement: Liza & Ira’s Palais Galliera Elopement

    We had the great pleasure of helping an amazing couple, Liza and Ira, plan their very special vow-renewal here in Paris. After passing through some very emotional personal events during the planning process, the ​New Jersey couple’s time in the City of Love became extremely important. WeddingLight Events, of course, was only too happy to help them make their dream ceremony a reality. We feel so fortunate to have clients like Liza and Ira who so truly trust in our abilities to do what we love most!

    Liza and Ira have been together for 10 years and exchanged vow in front of a stunning marble statue titled, “Protection and Future,” by Honoré Icard framed by glorious marbled columns. After a heartwarming tearful exchange, the couple shared a dance together as husband and wife before venturing off in their vintage Jaguar MK V for a tour of the city with their photographer, Olivier Lalin. The couple finished the evening with a divine dining experience at one of Paris’ most sought out restaurants: Alain Ducasse’s Restaurant at Le Meurice.

    Liza was kind enough to send us a few touching words about our work, which we are very, very grateful to hear…

    “I finally had a few moments to sit quietly and go through Olivier’s photos today, and I have to say I was completely moved. Somehow he captured the essence of how Ira and I feel for each other while including every special request I made including the amazing architecture and beautiful imagery. I knew he would be a great photographer, which is how I made my decision to go with him and WeddingLight Events, but I really wanted to let you know that your whole team — the hair, the makeup, the flowers, and your recommendation of venue for the vows, your own extreme attention to detail — everything about this experience was beyond compare — I cannot recommend you highly enough to other brides; You went above and beyond through all the crazy that was in our lives, helped me through the trauma of [some unexpected personal events] and the stress and worry of planning this experience from an ocean away. In the end, it turned out more special than I ever imagined possible — thank goodness for the one day of sun!! The photos of Ira as he said he vows to me brought tears back all over again. The great photos of us laughing and truly enjoying the city, the experience, and each other are priceless.

    For everything you and Olivier did for us — Merci x 1,000,000,000!”

  • 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.
