wedding portraits in Paris

Couple portrait paris, paris portrait session, wedding in Paris, boudoir photographer
I went on a walk in the afternoon with Jennifer and Robert who got married at the Trocadero in "Paris, city of love".
We headed down to the Eiffel tower , the carousel, on to the Alexandre III bridge and the Place
de la Concorde for a few memorable photographic moments. Here are a little preview and a few photos of this "Paris portrait session". The light was just beautiful on this late Parisian afternoon.
Very Nice ...
I feel so privileged to be able to make a living as a "wedding photographer in Paris".

Same Sex wedding photography in Paris

Same Sex, wedding photography,  Paris
Have just received those few words from two women getting married in Boston, Massachuset and later coming to Paris for their "honeymoon" - Love has no barrier. I certainly have no prejudice against same sex marriage. Everyone is allowed happiness and choice in their union. I would LOVE to have the opportunity to photograph Candice and Victoria during their honeymoon trip to Paris ...
It would be so much fun - What a great idea !
We do help with the planning of your wedding in Paris as well. WeddingLight events is a high end wedding service agency in Paris.


"...Bonjour, We are 2 women getting married in Boston Massachusetts in the US and are
"honeymooning in France". We would like to bring our dresses and veils and do a photo shoot around Paris. Kind of a \"trash the dress\" session if you know about that concept. We know we would like Paris/city shots on the bridge with the old lanterns, and some shots at the Musee Rodin. Other than that, take us wherever is gorgeous to make photos in Paris. We love it all. What would you charge for a 4 hour session? We will get the prints and make our own album when we get home, so we're really just looking for coverage. I am a florist and will be making bouquets for the shoot when we arrive in Paris. Other than that, we will wear our dresses and go where you suggest. We love you work!
Have you ever photographed a same sex wedding/bridal portrait session before?
Merci beaucoup! Candice et Victoria..."

Portrait Olivier Lalin

Award winning, wedding, France, Marriage, olivier lalin, paris, photographer, photographe, Noir et Blanc, classique
One of my bride was kind enough to send me a photo of myself & her wedding photographer.
It was taken by a guest at one of my summer weddings in France @ Chateau de Champlatreux.
It shows the "Man at work": Happy, relaxed, goofy, enjoying a wonderful day.
I am showing this picture not so much to prove my good look but rather to convey the mood of a professional photographer at work!
I always tell my brides that they should make sure to book a photographer who loves his wedding work and does not photograph weddings only to pay the bills. i believe a wedding photographer has to be passionate about his craft in order to excel at the task at hand. Like a good wine, twenty years of experience transcend into a jolly fellow whose job ( his passion ) has become second nature. It is most important to get everyone to simply enjoy the photographer's company very quickly. Only then will you forget the fact that you are being photographed.
That's when magic happens!

New York City frame of mind

new york city wedding, new york city photographer, high end wedding photography
I guess it is the time of the year when you start to look back at what you have achieved,
contemplate the road ahead, set yourself new goals, reconnect with Friends and associates.
I am in NYC busy with meetings, connecting with new clients.
I love this city, was walking down 5th avenue at night fall and i had to stop and snap
a few shots as i was heading east side to catch up with a friend!

Elie Saab for Pronovias


Elie Saab for Pronovias- I have been photographing weddings for quite sometimes now. I have therefore built up a liking for a few special designers. Oscar de la Renta has always been my all time favorite along side Elie Saab. I had the pleasure to photograph Elie Saab Collection in Paris a few times and it is always a devine experience for the eyes. Elie Saab has designed a collection for Pronovia 2010 this year, along side Manuel Mota and Valentina Sposa who do beautiful work.
I am so much looking forward to photograph those wedding gowns.
