Are you planning an engagement photoshoot in Paris? Let me share an unforgettable experience I had with Robert and Catherine, a lovely couple who chose me as their engagement photographer in Paris. Their story, coupled with some tips and insights, will help you envision the perfect engagement session in the City of Love.
Robert and Catherine
Robert and Catherine reached out to me last minute for an engagement photoshoot in Paris. Luckily, I had one slot available before they left the city. They chose two iconic locations for their shoot: the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.
Perfect Locations for Engagement Photoshoot in Paris
1. The Eiffel Tower: This iconic landmark is a must for any engagement photographer in Paris. For Robert and Catherine, we not only captured the classic shots near the tower but also ventured to the picturesque Seine River. Here, in the morning rays of sun, with the Eiffel Tower as a breathtaking backdrop, we created some of the most romantic images of the day. Additionally, we explored the charming Avenue de Camoens, which offers a lesser-known but equally stunning view of the tower, framed by beautiful typically Parisian architecture.
2. The Louvre: The Louvre, with its grand architecture and glass pyramid, provides a sophisticated backdrop that exudes elegance and perfection. I particularly love the Louvre's structure for its stunning corridors and the endless possibilities they offer for romantic shots. While the pyramid itself is iconic, the Louvre and its surroundings can offer so much more, from hidden courtyards to majestic entrances, each corner providing a unique backdrop for capturing love.
Capturing Elegance and Romance
I guided Robert and Catherine to the most photogenic spots around these areas, focusing on capturing the elegance they desired in their photos. They were thrilled with the results, appreciating the mix of classic and black-and-white images that truly reflected the romantic and sophisticated vibe they were aiming for. Their happiness with the final photos made the experience exceptionally rewarding for me as a professional.
Making the Photoshoot Fun and Relaxed
An engagement photoshoot in Paris should be an enjoyable experience. Here’s how I made it fun and memorable for Robert and Catherine:
Comfort and Expression: I made them feel comfortable and expressive in front of the camera, allowing their spontaneous expressions of love to be captured naturally. It was a truly romantic morning, filled with laughter and tender moments, making their shoot both memorable and deeply personal.
Professional Guidance: I helped them pick the best spots and directed them during the shoot to ensure we got all the elegant photos they were hoping for (and more!).
Testimonials from a Happy Couple
Here's what the couple wrote about their engagement photo session experience with me:
We got engaged In Paris, and wanted an engagement shoot before leaving! Anya was truly incredible. She helped us pick many different spots in our two main locations (Eiffel Tower and Louvre). We could not be happier with all of the photos we received, and after her editing, we received many in black and white as well. Anya was very kind and helpful in directing us during the shoot and made sure we got all of the elegant photos we were hoping for (and more!). We had the best experience with Anya, and we wish we could have her back at our wedding in the United States :)"
Today, I'm excited to share photos from Catherine and Robert's engagement gallery with you. I've organized their stunning images into two sections. The first features black and white photos, offering an elegant and dramatic, timeless finish. The second section is in color, capturing the warm, vibrant tones of the morning we met. Each section uniquely showcases the joy and love of their special day.
And what style do you prefer for an engagement photo session? Would you go for the classic drama of black and white, the vivid realism of full color, or a blend of both, just like Catherine and Robert chose for their memorable shoot in Paris? Each option has its own unique charm. Share your thoughts and let's discuss what makes each style special to you!
