During your elopement photoshoot, I focus on capturing the key moments of your day, from candid portraits to romantic engagement-style photos, all while showcasing the beauty of Paris as your backdrop.

How Many Locations Can We Visit During Our Elopement Photoshoot?

For a smooth and relaxed photoshoot, we can visit 1-2 locations in one hour. For example, we can easily visit the Eiffel Tower and nearby spots, but I recommend spending at least 30 minutes at each location for the best variety of shots. For two locations, plan for about 1.5 hours of shooting time.

For a peaceful elopement shoot, early mornings, especially at sunrise, are the best time to visit Port Debilly, offering fewer crowds and a beautiful ambiance.
