Trocadéro
The classic view of the Eiffel Tower, best at sunrise before the square fills up.
Your Paris Story, Before the Crowds Arrive.
Wedding photographer in Paris
Most of my work in Paris is engagement and pre-wedding sessions, along with one intimate wedding in the centre of the city so far. Couples come for an anniversary, before their wedding weekend, or as part of a trip to Europe.
A session usually starts early at the Trocadéro, with the Eiffel Tower in full view and almost nobody around, then moves along the river to the Bir-Hakeim bridge, the Pont Alexandre III or the Louvre, with a stop in a café for coffee and croissants. Rain is not a reason to cancel: one couple arrived without an umbrella, we bought two on the way, and they became part of the photographs.
Season
Spring and early autumn are comfortable for a walking session. One couple came in early autumn, when the summer heat had gone and the sun was still out.
Light
Early morning is the best time: soft light and empty squares. By mid-morning the Trocadéro and the Louvre fill with people.
Getting around
The places are close together. From the Trocadéro you can walk along the Seine to the Bir-Hakeim bridge or towards the Pont Alexandre III, and I plan the route before we meet.
If it rains
We go anyway. Bridges and café terraces give cover, and wet streets and pavements reflect the light.

Weddings and sessions in Paris
One intimate wedding in the centre of Paris and three sessions: a pre-wedding walk from the Trocadéro to the Louvre, an anniversary at sunrise ending at Bir-Hakeim, and a morning in the rain.

These are the places I come back to with couples. I know which ones are empty at sunrise, how far they are from each other on foot, and where to shelter if it rains.

Questions
Do you photograph weddings in Paris?
Yes. So far most of my Paris work has been engagement and pre-wedding sessions, along with an intimate wedding in the centre of the city. A full wedding day is €2,800 for 10 hours or €3,100 for 12 hours, and travel within France is included.
How much is an engagement or pre-wedding session in Paris?
€1,200 for 4 hours at two locations, with 150+ photos.
What time should a session start?
Early. Sunrise gives the softest light and the quietest streets, especially at the Trocadéro.
What if it rains?
We go anyway, with umbrellas, and use bridges and cafés for cover. In Paris, rain makes the photographs more romantic, not less.
Can you photograph a proposal?
Yes. Give your partner a reason for the session that won’t raise questions: booking a photo shoot just because usually does.
I’m excited to go wherever your love story is taking me and looking forward to hearing from you!
