Paris couple photoshoot

Timing and transport for your couple photoshoot

Sunrise, evening or both

Sunrise offers softer light, usually fewer people and the rest of the day ahead. Evening brings romance, a deep blue sky and city lights reflected on the Seine. For photographs after sunset, see our Paris couples photography at night.

Choose a time that suits your energy. Three hours of sleep is a poor start to a sunrise session. Allow for jet lag and, if you’re booking hair and makeup, enough time to be ready.

For two different moods in one day, choose two hours at sunrise and one or two hours in the evening, depending on availability, your date, and the light you want. A two-hour evening session usually begins about 80 minutes before sunset. We plan the timing around the light and your priorities, including the Eiffel Tower’s sparkle when the schedule allows. A one-hour evening session cannot guarantee golden hour, sunset, blue hour, darkness, and the Eiffel Tower’s sparkle together. We agree which matters most before booking. Meet us at the second location already changed into your evening clothes, ready to photograph. We agree the two photography blocks and total price before booking.

Compare the light and practical details in our Paris photoshoot timing guide.

A route with room to enjoy it

Plan around one main area per hour: the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Palais-Royal or Montmartre, for example. Each offers plenty of variety. Travel and outfit changes use session time; a thoughtful route leaves room for creativity and connection. Compare settings in our Paris photo spots guide.

Your own driver and space to change

For a longer session across Paris, we recommend a Mercedes V-Class with an English-speaking driver. Spend your time being photographed instead of waiting for a cancelled ride. Warm up between winter stops, change privately and leave belongings with your driver so your hands and pockets stay free.

Chauffeur service is quoted by the hour for your itinerary. We confirm the total including VAT and any minimum booking time before you reserve.

An extra pair of hands

An associate helps with crowds, belongings, a warm coat or a quick shoe change. For evening portraits, they hold portable lighting that moves with you. €100/hour including VAT; any required lighting is included in your quote.

How your couple photoshoot works

1. Check your date and make it official

Send your travel dates and the photographs you have in mind. We confirm availability, coverage and the full price. Your contract and 50% retainer reserve your photographer; the balance is due no later than your session date.

2. Get to know your photographer

Our team connects you by email, WhatsApp or both. Share your ideas and outfits; together, you settle the starting time, meeting point and route. You’ll arrive knowing who you’re meeting and what to expect.

3. See your first photographs that day

That day or evening: 1–2 lightly edited photographs, ready to share.

Within 24 hours of your session ending: all unedited photographs in your private selection gallery.

Within 10–14 days after you confirm your favorites and tell us your selection is complete: your finished edited photographs.

Additional edits: €6 each including VAT (€5 before VAT). Optional unedited high-resolution JPEG downloads: €120 including VAT (€100 before VAT) per hour photographed, capped at €360 including VAT (€300 before VAT). Viewing the selection gallery is included.
