Night Photoshoot in Paris: A Sparkling Adventure with David and Christina

16 May, 2024

Ah, Paris by night—a canvas painted with shimmering lights, romance in the air, and dreams waiting to be captured through the lens.

Night photoshoots in Paris have skyrocketed in popularity, landing firmly in the top 5 requests I receive. And let me tell you, there’s something utterly magical about capturing the City of Lights under the moonlit sky.  

So, when David and Christina reached out for an after-hours anniversary photoshoot with Parisian sparks, I knew we were in for a magical ride.

The Parisian Night Magic

As the sun dipped below the horizon and Paris began to illuminate, I met David and Christina at their hotel, right before the 9 pm sparkle of the Eiffel Tower. Early April in Paris meant the sun was setting just before this time, casting a warm glow over the city. We wasted no time and dove straight into capturing emotional and vibrant photos on the terrace of their Airbnb, which boasted a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower. It was the perfect prelude to what was to come.

A Dreamy Kiss by the Seine

With spirits high and excitement building, we embarked on a short 10-minute walk to the Eiffel Tower surroundings. David and Christina had a vision: a photo of them sharing a kiss by the Seine River with the tower aglow in the background. And let me tell you, we nailed it. The tower sparkled like a thousand diamonds, creating a scene straight out of a fairy tale.

Racing Against Time at the Louvre

Next on our whirlwind tour of Paris by night was the Louvre. With its lights scheduled to shut down at 11 pm, we were on a very tight schedule. As the clock ticked closer to closing time, we navigated the grand halls and majestic corridors, capturing the timeless beauty of this iconic museum. Despite the Louvre guards starting to usher everyone out around 10:40 pm, we managed to snag some stunning shots that perfectly encapsulated the romance and allure of Paris at night.
