Romantic Paris Engagement Session Featuring Tuileries Gardens and French Cafe – Chang & Lucas

Chang and Lucas are the kind of couple you instantly adore. These two Parisians got engaged over the holidays last year, and I was so excited to photograph their engagement session while I was in town! Their warm, playful energy made exploring the City of Love an absolute dream. Captured on both digital and film!

Square Louvois and Parisian Café Engagement

We started our session at Square Louvois, a quiet little park tucked away in the 2ème arrondissement. And, it just so happens this is where they had their very first date! From there, we made our way to Café de la Comédie: a hip, picturesque spot with the cutest upstairs area I’d scouted the day before. The staff was so kind to allow us to take a few photos here on a busy afternoon! In case you’re wondering, the food and drinks here sont très delicieuses! Definitely recommend stopping at this café if you’re near Musée du Louvre or Palais-Royal.

Les Tuileries, Spring Flowers, and the Seine

From there, we walked to Le Jardin des Tuileries, which was filled with spring blooms. Lucas and Chang laughed and danced through the garden paths, stopping to steal a kiss under the trees. We continued to walk west along the Seine to Port des Invalides, with a spectacular view of Pont Alexandre III. I’m obsessed with this ornate, art deco bridge – it’s always one of the first things I notice when I travel to Paris!

Not pictured: As we were about to get a taxi to our final destination, we felt a drizzle! A few drops quickly turned into steady rain, and luckily we had an umbrella to shield us before the taxi arrived. The skies poured while we were en route, and by the end of the ride, the rain had stopped! Talk about great timing!

Eiffel Tower Engagement Photos

Our final stop was another fave of mine: Place du Trocadéro. This location offers such a classic view of the Eiffel Tower, and was a Must-Have for our session. Chang and Lucas were all about each other, and I had a blast spending the afternoon with them! One perk to having just dodged the rain: we had the iconic staircase all to ourselves 🙂

Chang and Lucas: Thank you again for sharing your city with me. Your Paris engagement session was a dream come true – I absolutely loved capturing these moments for you! CONGRATS again to you both!!!
