Paris served as the enchanting backdrop for an evening engagement photoshoot that seamlessly blended the allure of the city with the timeless elegance of a traditional lehenga dress. Nowrin, adorned in a resplendent lehenga, brought an infusion of vibrant colors to the natural pastel tones of Paris, and added a touch of regality against the stunning architecture of the Louvre museum. Ashish opted for a tuxedo and black tie, complimenting Nowrin perfectly. After the Louvre we returned to the Park Hyatt hotel at Place Vendome where Nowrin & Ashish changed outfits.

I met with Cidney & Andrew where they were staying; the stylish Hotel Regina in Paris right opposite the Louvre. We took a short stroll from the hotel to where the Louvre meets the Jardin des Tuileries, giving us not only a stunning backdrop with which to begin our photoshoot, but we timed it perfectly, with the sun low enough in the sky for that perfect summer evening glow. Following the Tuileries our driver took us close to the Eiffel Tower, taking some photos before we were back in the car taking us to the Palais Royale close to where Cidney & Andrew had a dinner reservation direct ..read more

Paris is famous for a lot of things, the beautiful cobbled streets, the cafés, the monuments, and of course the romance to name but a few, however, days of never-ending sunshine certainly won’t make the list. The weather in Paris can be ‘temperamental’ to say the least. Even shooting in the height of summer there’s always a risk of cloudy, rainy days. I sometimes have couples who have organised their Paris photoshoot with me asking ‘if the weather isn’t bright sunshine will their photographs look dull and dark’? My response, always: “Grey, moody skies on the day of your photoshoot certainly d ..read more

Booking a pre-wedding photoshoot with your wedding photographer can be one of the best additions to the actual wedding photos you could possibly make. Before a wedding, whenever possible I try meeting with my clients via a video call, allowing me to answer any last questions and also, so we get to know one another better, therefore aren’t feeling like complete strangers when we meet on the wedding day itself. However, better by far, if circumstances allow is to meet for a pre-wedding photoshoot. There are numerous plus points to having a pre-wedding shoot. Firstly, we obviously get to meet in ..read more
