Her hands went to her face and stayed there. That is the frame, and it lasts about a second and a half: the river burning gold behind them, the moon hanging over the bridge like a lamp someone forgot to switch off, and one person completely undone by another. I photograph couples in Paris for exactly this second, and I have never once managed to breathe through it.

I waited for the courtyard to empty and shot from deep inside the passage, so the stone arch and the gilded gates would close around them like a proscenium. Two people, foreheads almost touching, a river of grey tulle pooling on the paving, and behind them the pyramid glowing white against a colourless sky. The Louvre holds centuries of paintings about love. That morning it held one more.

I stood right on the white line with the boulevard running away behind them, the bare plane trees leaning in from both sides, and told them one thing: pick her up. Her head went back, her heels flew, the trench opened like a sail, and the laugh that came out of her was not for me and not for the camera. Twelve seconds later a car came. Worth it.

He led her across the empty crossing by the hand, she turned back over her shoulder to look at me, and the whole street seemed to hold still for a second. Golden light on pale stone, a quiet morning in the 7th, and two people who had already forgotten I was there. This is what I photograph couples in Paris for.

What your Paris couple photoshoot looks like

We meet on Avenue de Camoëns, a quiet street with one of the cleanest views of the Eiffel Tower, and start with an easy frame so you can settle in. Then we walk. One hour covers three or four different backdrops in one area. Two hours adds a second neighbourhood and time to change into another outfit.

You never have to guess what to do. We show you how to stand, what to do with your hands and when to simply walk and talk, and while you do, we photograph the looks and laughs that happen on their own.

Route one: the Eiffel Tower side

Avenue de Camoëns, the stairs below it, the Bir-Hakeim bridge and the quiet streets around them. The tower is in almost every frame, without the crowd that fills the Trocadéro by mid-morning. The right choice for a first trip to Paris.

Route two: old Paris

The Louvre courtyard, the Pont des Arts and the Île Saint-Louis. Stone, river and narrow streets, for couples who want Paris to feel lived in rather than like a postcard.

Not sure which suits you? Tell us what you love about the city and we will suggest the route. If the tower is the whole point, see our Eiffel Tower photoshoot.

Prices

Every session is private, with one photographer. From a short session by the tower to three hours across Paris, every length and extra is on one page.

Never posed before? Most couples haven’t

Almost every couple who writes to us says the same thing first: we are awkward in photos. It does not show in the gallery, because you are never left standing there. We guide you through natural poses and movement from the first minute, so you always know what to do, and the stiffness is gone by the second stop.

The photos couples end up framing are usually the ones between the poses: the laugh after a bad joke, a look while you are walking across a bridge. We stay close enough to direct you and far enough to catch those.

Honeymoon, anniversary or just because

A honeymoon photoshoot on the first morning of the trip, an anniversary photoshoot in Paris, a weekend away with no reason at all. The session works the same way. What changes is the story you want the photos to tell, and we build the route around it.

Christmas and winter photoshoots in Paris

December brings Christmas lights on the Champs-Élysées and the windows of Galeries Lafayette, and winter mornings bring the emptiest streets of the year. Bring a warm coat in a plain colour and we will plan short stops with cafés in between.

Spring and summer

Blossom along the river in April, long golden evenings in June. We start early or late to avoid the crowds and the harsh midday light.

What is included

  • A route planned for your date and the time of day you choose
  • Help with outfits before you pack
  • Guidance through every pose during the shoot
  • Short behind-the-scenes clips from the phone, sent the same day
  • Hand-edited photos in a private online gallery to download and share

Where we shoot

  • Avenue de Camoëns. The Eiffel Tower framed by Haussmann buildings, calm even in the middle of the day.
  • Bir-Hakeim bridge. Iron arches, the river and the tower across the water.
  • The Louvre. The pyramid and the stone arcades, at their best early, before the queues.
  • Pont des Arts and the Île Saint-Louis. The Seine, old façades and quiet quays.
  • Montmartre. Steep steps, ivy and small cafés, still empty in the morning.
  • Palais Royal. Columns and gardens a few minutes from the Louvre.

What to wear

Plain colours photograph better than busy prints, and coordinated looks better than matching ones. Bring shoes you can walk in on cobblestones, and for a two-hour session a second outfit that is genuinely different from the first. Send us a photo of what you plan to wear and we will tell you how it will look against Paris stone. Want something special? Rent a gown with our dress rental in Paris, or go for a flying dress photoshoot.

Paris vacation photographer

On holiday in Paris with your partner, your friends or on your own? A vacation photoshoot fits into the first morning of the trip, so you have the photos before the sightseeing starts. We plan the route near your hotel and keep it relaxed.

Same-sex couple photoshoot in Paris

Every couple is welcome. We photograph same-sex couples, engagements and proposals all over Paris with the same care: a route that suits you, natural direction and quiet spots where you can be yourselves.

Couple photoshoot: questions

How much does a couple photoshoot in Paris cost?

Every length and its price is on our prices page. Each package includes route planning, outfit advice, guidance through the whole shoot and hand-edited photos in a private online gallery. The only extras are dress rental, hair and makeup and express editing, and they are listed on this page.

How long should our couple photoshoot be?

One hour gives you three or four backdrops in one area and one outfit. Two hours adds a second neighbourhood and an outfit change, and it is usually when couples fully relax. Three hours suits a slow walk across the city.

What should we wear for a couple photoshoot in Paris?

Plain colours, coordinated rather than matching, and shoes you can walk in on cobblestones. Send us a photo of your outfits before the trip and we will tell you honestly how they will look on camera.

We feel awkward in front of a camera. Will it show?

No. We guide you through natural poses and movement from the first minute, so you always know what to do. Most couples forget about the camera by the second location.

What happens if it rains on the day?

We watch the forecast with you. Light rain often makes Paris look its best, with reflections and clear umbrellas. If it pours, we move your shoot to another day or time of your trip at no cost.

When do we get our photos, and how many?

50 photos for one hour, 100 for two and 150 for three. They arrive in a private online gallery within one week. Express editing in 24 to 48 hours is available as an extra.

Can we book it as a honeymoon or anniversary shoot?

Yes. Tell us what you are celebrating and we will plan the route and the moments around it, from a quiet sunrise walk to an evening by the lit-up tower.

Booking, payment, weather and delivery: see all questions.
