Stephanie & Herman

Pre-wedding session in Paris

Stephanie and Herman, Pre-wedding session, Paris

The Trocadéro

We met early, while the Trocadéro was still quiet and the pigeons had the square to themselves. Stephanie’s long veil kept catching the wind, which gave us some of the softest frames of the day, and they ran, laughed and held each other with the Eiffel Tower behind.

Carousel to the bridge

From the Trocadéro we went down through the gardens, past the old carousel and across the road under the Eiffel Tower. Then along the river to the Pont Alexandre III, with its lamps and gilded statues, while Paris went on with its morning around us.

Tuileries and the Louvre

We crossed the Tuileries gardens and finished at the Louvre: the stone arches of the courtyard, the glass pyramid and the fountains. Even at the end they still had energy for one more frame, and then one more after that.

Pre-wedding session in Paris

City

Time
From early morning
Locations
Trocadéro, the carousel, Pont Alexandre III, the Louvre

Stephanie and Herman wanted a pre-wedding session in Paris during their trip to Europe. They were energetic and fun, and they inspired every photograph we made.

For them it was more than an engagement session: they wanted both the romantic side of the city and their own energy. We began early at the Trocadéro, walked past the carousel and under the Eiffel Tower to the Pont Alexandre III, crossed the Tuileries and finished at the Louvre.
