  • Paris Elopement: Tara & Michael from Illinois, USA

    The lovely Tara and Michael recently eloped to Paris. They had an outdoor ceremony at the Park Monceau; one of our favorite public parks in Paris. If you are considering an elopement in Paris and are looking for the perfect location for your ceremony, you may want to read one of our previous blog posts on some of the best locations for a Paris elopement.

    Of course there are numerous gorgeous places one might choose. Some are quite famous such as those around the Eiffel tower; others are more quaint  and charming, tucked away on a hidden street or a lovely boutique hotel’s courtyard. It is really all up to you and as a wedding planner, we are here to help, guide and advise.

    The time of the day is an important factor to consider, firstly in terms of lighting for the photographs,  and secondly simply because with spring comes the tourist season. Some locations might get quite crowded with tourists and people passing by. The French love brides, and will stop to watch and satisfy their curiosity! You might even get a horde of Chinese tourists gathering around with their cameras and iphones if they notice that a wedding ceremony is taking place … We saw this happening a few time during a ceremony at the Park Jean XXIII right behind Notre Dame.  Personally I think it is quite fun and part of the experience of getting married out in the streets of Paris. However if you are looking for somewhere quiet and discrete while you exchange you vows, choose your location carefully!

    Every couple who decides to  plan their wedding and elopement with us have different ideas for their very special day. This is why we customize our wedding planning services to everyone’s individual  dreams. Our clients are unique; our services are as well.

    You can view more of the photos of this beautiful elopement on Paris wedding photographer WeddingLight’s blog. If you have any questions about getting married in Paris, we would be more than happy to help out.

  • Paris Celebration: Sara & Zaid from New Zealand

    Yet another beautiful elopement in Paris for a couple flying in all the way from New Zealand with their closest family members. Sara and Zaid had celebrated their wedding in New Zealand a few weeks prior to their arrival in Paris. However because of their  love for Paris they wanted to do something special in the city of lights as well. Our WeddingLight English speaking photographer in Paris took them around town for a fun photo shoot. They had diner at ” the Zuriand by Noura ” the restaurant on the last floor of the Arab institute with a killer view over the seine and Notre Dame at night.
    Marco from WeddingLight did a very sweet video of the afternoon as well. Here are a few of the photos of their elopement and more on the WeddingLight website.

  • Paris Elopement: Irena & Nikola from Serbia

    We planned an elopement for Irena and Nikola in Paris a few days ago. Olivier from WeddingLight posted some of the photos on the blog already so here is a little snippet of the wedding day.

    They flew in from Serbia to get married at the Serbian embassy in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Olivier followed them around afterwards to document their special day with Eric, their driver and his classic automobile.

    We have just received a few words from our couple and couldn’t wait to share some of the images with all of you:

    From our couple: “Thank you both for putting so much effort and helping us in having a great wedding day in Paris.
    We appreciate all your support and planning for our wedding in Paris. We were not an easy couple, we know, and appreciate all your flexibility and patience in arranging everything according to our wishes. And Olivier, we looked at all the photos and they are really great! Although we were in a rush and delayed from the beginning, you’ve managed to put together quite some nice photos. The places we visited are really nice and we liked them a lot. Once again, thank you both for all your efforts and we might see each other on some other occasions in the future!

  • 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!
