Rebecca and Jim elopement in Paris

The ceremony in the garden

Rebecca and Jim chose to elope in Paris in a beautiful garden . Paris is a city known for its stunning gardens and parks, offering picturesque settings for photoshoots. As we want want to make it intimate and to avoid public looking around we are used to organize the ceremony only at:

Luxembourg Gardens (Jardin du Luxembourg): A beautiful park surrounding the Luxembourg Palace, featuring fountains, flowerbeds, and picturesque alleys, offering a great background for a ceremony over the Senat.

Square Jean XXIII: Situated behind Notre-Dame Cathedral, this square provides a lovely view of the cathedral and the Seine River. But close now during the building after the fire disaster.

While technically a large park on the western edge of Paris, it offers various beautiful spots for photoshoots, including lakes, wooded areas, and gardens.They wanted something just for the two of them with no guest, simple, intimate and with flowers around. They finally chose the Luxembourg garden as it provides exactly what they wanted. Inside the Luxembourg garden, they did the ceremony at the Medicis fountain as it has a wide basin of water surrounded by beautiful plane trees that work like an arch. It is Catherine de Medicis herself who created these beautiful gardens, that’s why Rebecca and Jim had a special feeling there: the feeling of being, for the time their elopement, a queen and a king!

After the ceremony and some nice Champagne, they went for a photo tour in Paris with our photographer, as they had booked our Gold package in our 5 paris wedding packages that includes a 3 hours tour by Mercedes car with chauffeur. They chose to go first to the garden du Palais Royal: A tranquil garden in the heart of Paris, adjacent to the Palais-Royal, known for its striped columns and peaceful atmosphere. As they were eager to have some photos shot on Buren’s Column’s. And, of course, they didn’t miss the romantic kiss under the majestic galleries that are all around the garden du Palais Royal. Once the kiss was over, they went to the Eiffel tower…

There are many ways to have a shooting done at the Eiffel Tower. Either you do the photos that everybody does, that you see everywhere. Those are done from the Trocadero. Either you try to be a bit creative and go, for exemple to the bridge Bir-Hakeim for a more personalised shooting. That’s the choice that Rebecca and Jim made. The creativity of our photographer helped to produce exactly what they wanted; pictures that look like them; natural, happy and in love! It’s a great location to make photos even if it rains or at Sunset offering a nice light over the river.
