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).
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.

French Elegance at the Hotel Ritz Paris
When deciding on a wedding venue location, one of the most important elements is the romance factor. For some couples, it has to be a grandiose fairy tale wedding with all of the bells and whistles. Others wish for an intimate setting for only the two of them to revel in the magic of their day.
For both sides of the spectrum – and everything in between – the Hotel Ritz in Paris is the perfect setting for the most romantic day of your life.
Located near the Opéra Garnier, arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and in front of elegant column of Place Vendôme, the Hotel Ritz Paris is the perfect backdrop for your wedding and, of course, your wedding pictures.
Closing and Renovation
However, for those wishing to indulge in this paradise, time is limited. The Hotel Ritz in Paris will be closing for two years beginning in August 2012 for some much-needed renovations. The last upgrades took place in 1979, and the owner, Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, has planned to make many changes, while maintaining the integrity of the architecture and style of the Ritz. Winner of the €140-million bid on the project, Bouygues Construction will be spearheading the remodeling, working with designer Thierry W. Despont.
According to Forbes.com, refurbishments include a full technological upgrade, an extension of the ballroom, additional suites, and a new summer restaurant with a retractable glass roof. During the restorations, the hotel’s restaurant and prestigious culinary school will also be closed. The new-and-improved Hotel Ritz Paris will reopen in 2014.
