An elopement wedding day in paris, France feels like something out of a movie. The beautiful streets, the historical architecture, the endless art museums and how the city lights up at night is simply magical. When I knew I was going to be speaking at LEgacy Workshop in France and then spending time in paris afterwards, I just knew I wanted to document an elopement bridal editorial in some of the most beautiful locations in paris. And of course, with my friends birthday being nearby, I offered to have her and her partner join my husband and I in Paris and I would document her and her boyfriend, while also treating them on their trip. Capturing real couples is the best for inspiring your creativity in between wedding seasons, as they already have such a natural bond. It also helps when you can simply have fun together as they are some of your closest friends.

MAggie and angus spent the morning of this elopement day editorial in their adorable and quaint airbnb in Paris. They both got ready together before we headed to the streets to enjoy roaming around paris together. I brought vintage veils along from Those were the days bridal in EDinburgh, Scotland. the lovely owner, claire, of those were the days bridal carefully curates and hand selects all of the pieces in her shop on saint stephen street in my personal favorite neighborhood in edinburgh, stockbridge. and I’m not biased just because it’s my personal neighborhood where we live, but it really is the best for small business cafes, restaurants, clothing shops, thrift stores and cinnamon buns. so if you are ever visiting edinburgh, definitely pop over to stockbridge.

anyways, back to the elopement editorial in paris. Maggie was wearing a vintage veil from those were the days and had multiple outfits throughout the day, because even on a wedding day there tend to be outfit changes more and more, so why not on your elopement day as well. The floral bouquet was designed by my friend Beverly, of Heidi GOld Florals, She was able to piece together a stunning little bouquet that packed a punch of color with a unique blend of florals in the arrangement.

The first place we took a few individual and couple photographs in the parisian neighborhood around their airbnb. If you ever have an elopement or wedding day in paris, honestly, you can’t go wrong with most residential streets all around the city, as the architecture is stunning no matter which district you are based in. And by photographing around your lodging, you can have those images that are more unique to you before heading to the classic spots in the city where inevitably you may see other couples having wedding photos done there as well.

We only saw two other brides the entire day, which I thought was fairly good for us, especially photographing bridal portraits around the eiffel tower and the louvre museum. At the eiffel tower, we started taking the elopement portraits a few blocks away from the actual tower, so it was a bit quieter to start out with the tower in the background, and then slowly walked toward the eiffel tower for a larger scene. There are actually plenty of ways to crop out the crowds, so I wouldn’t be nervous to get closer to the eiffel tower if you are ever there on your wedding day. We also found that everyone parted ways for the bride in her wedding dress.

The next stop on our tour around paris for elopement portraits, was the domaine national du palais-royal. I have always loved the courtyard that has a stunning artwork installation of striped sculptures that resemble a chess board. IT really is such a beautiful spot for wedding photos and has many corners that aren’t crowded at all for intimate moments together.

we then walked across the street to the louvre museum for more wedding portraits in front of the stunning piece of architecture, the modern grand pyramid. THe beautiful, glass pyramid is a structure that pei cobb Freed & partners created and I will Forever be impressed by such beautiful and thoughtful design. always brings back fond memories when i’m in it’s presence.

After staying at the louvre until the sun started to set, to see the pyramid lit up at night and the fountains reflection of ripples shining through, we then walked over to the seine river. I love how the seine river has many sections and a lower walkway by the river so your elopement can be a more intimate one, especially when it’s darker at night and the only light is from the parisian street lamps.

The eiffel tower has a light show in the evenings and you could see the glow of the tower between maggie and angus from the seine river walkway. It really was a magical way to end this elopement editorial with the sweetest couple of friends around. I’m truly grateful for them entrusting me to document the two of them around paris. Traveling the world alone is lovely, but even better with loved ones. x

Alyeesha and Joe started their wedding day getting ready in a beautiful suite overlooking Millennium Park at the Chicago Athletic Hotel on Michigan Avenue. I absolutely love the details and vendors they chose for their wedding day. By starting at a historic hotel in the center of downtown, they were able to do their first look with the backdrop of the bustling city streets behind them. We then strolled around downtown Chicago for bridal portraits all along La Salle to the Board of Trade. After wrapping up the portraits of the two of them we headed in car over to the venue, where they had their intimate ceremony and reception at the enclosed rooftop of Celeste.
The Florist for the wedding day was Asrai Garden. I’ve done quite a few weddings with them now, and their floristry always amazes me. They not only choose unique and beautiful combination of flowers, but are so good at creating a beautiful space for your personal vision. Alyeesha curated all of the pieces for her long bridal dining table and the florals fit into the table scape perfectly. Her candle and vase options she collected were just lovely together. As for the food, the lovely team at Celeste could not have done a better job. I mean, I’m already a huge fan of fried chicken, but especially when you put it in a beautiful plating and stunning setting… bon appétit!
Between their ceremony and reception, they went down to the second story to have canapés and a champagne tower with their loved ones. While they were all catching up with each other and congratulating the bride and groom, the team over at Chicago Vintage Weddings was busy flipping the space upstairs into a stunning room to dine. When everyone came back upstairs the whole space was transformed into a dinner by twilight, candles and string lights above them. The rest of the evening of was full of laughter and joy as speeches were made, desserts were eaten and endless shots taken. All in all, this micro wedding was filled with all of the love that one would wish to be surrounded by on your wedding day. So incredibly grateful to be a part of this memorable day. x
