The morning after our sessions with Jessi & Onur and Loreen & Chris, we met up with Jenni and Michele at Musée du Louvre! These two traveled from Düsseldorf to work with us for their Paris elopement, and were an absolute treat to spend the day with.

Wedding Photos at The Louvre

Photographing a couple outside The Louvre has been on my bucket list for years. Thanks to Jenni and Michele, that dream became a reality not long ago! We met just after sunrise at the iconic Musée du Louvre, where soft morning light wrapped around the historic arches and glass pyramid. Jenni and Michele were total naturals in front of the camera – I knew immediately it was going to be an awesome day! Truly: we’re lucky to have gotten as many photos as we did without pedestrians in the background. Pro tip for fellow photographers wanting to take wedding photos outside The Louvre – get there early. As soon as the museum opened to the public, this place was filled with tourists!

Palais-Royal and Pont Alexandre III

After wrapping at The Louvre, we strolled over to Palais-Royal in the 1er arrondisement. This spot gave us a perfect mix of spring greenery, classic black-and-white columns, and a calm courtyard. Jenni carried a lovely white bouquet that stood out beautifully against the stone pillars. And can we talk about Michele’s white tuxedo jacket? Très chic! Très élégant!

Our next stop was another one of my favorite landmarks in Paris: Pont Alexandre III. With its gilded lamps and sweeping views, this bridge truly stands out as one of the most unique works of architecture in the city. I was so excited to capture these moments of Jenni and Michele on the bridge in the spring sunshine!

Paris Elopement along the Seine

Closer to midday, we made our way to the banks of the Seine for an intimate elopement ceremony. Not only did this location have prime views of the Eiffel Tower, it was decorated with bold red florals that popped beautifully against the background! Along with the clear blue sky and their white attire, the florals gave a subtle nod to the French flag: red, white, and blue.

Daniela Wissmer led the ceremony, and after I Do it was time to celebrate! The Newlyweds commemorated the moment with a champagne tower in the warm Paris sun (yes, it was real Champagne). Et bien sûr, there was no shortage of cheers-ing the Riverboats that passed by! Santé, tout le monde!

Jenni and Michele: You two were a treat to hang with all day!! Thanks again for being such awesome models and the happiest Newlyweds 🙂 

And THANK YOU to Cathy and Anna for organizing these two incredible days in Paris! When can we go back?!
