Book the Most Fun Couple Photoshoot in Paris

In the simplest sense, it’s when you and your partner have professional photos taken in Paris—be it to celebrate an engagement, pre-wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, or just for fun.

Investing in couple photography is the perfect way to escape everyday life and enjoy each other with no distractions … all while having your precious, frame-able memories captured beautifully.

The short answer is it depends on your style, time of the day, and a host of other factors.

We put together a comprehensive guide (including couple photoshoot ideas specific to each location) with 16+ of the most beautiful photography spots in Paris.

With that said, the Top 6 photo locations in Paris are:

1. Trocadéro. The ultimate iconic Eiffel Tower spot is characterized by sublime symmetry, awe-inspiring views of the Iron Lady, beautiful fountains & gardens, and ridiculous photo variety.
2. Louvre Museum. The Louvre offers unparalleled photo variety to go with its iconic architecture and splendid grounds & gardens. It’s one of few photo locations that photographs amazing any time of the day.
3. Alexander III Bridge. Considered the most elegant bridge in Paris, this ornate monument is centrally located. It offers more subtle views of the Eiffel Tower. Within less than five minutes of walking distance, you can also get elegant portraits at Petit Palais.
4. Luxembourg Gardens. A popular spot for tourists and locals alike, it is considered the most beautiful park in Paris. You’ll find charming gardens with endless rows of flowers, a stunning Italian-style palace, and of course, the Medici Fountain.
5. Montmartre (including Sacré-Cœur / La Maison Rose / Place du Tertre). When you need a break from the City’s remarkable landmarks and monuments, try Montmartre. It’s a massive hill that has captured the Bohemian artists since the Belle Epoque (Midnight in Paris, anyone?). Expect some of the most expansive views of the City, charming cobblestone streets, quaint cafés, and loads of hidden nooks for lovers.
6. Bir-Hakeim Bridge. When you’re looking for an excellent Eiffel Tower alternative to Trocadéro, or a different perspective to double as a rain solution if necessary. We are big fans of its architecture and endless photo variety.

Here’s a handy “Day-of” Checklist to keep you and your partner organized:

• pack all props and outfits the night before the shoot;
• Check the weather here when you wake up;
• charge your cell phones—you’ll need them to communicate with your photographer, take a selfie, possibly revisit your Pinterest board, and flag down an UBER;
• leave all valuable items (that are non-essential for your shoot) back at the hotel, so they’re not lost or stolen;
• if you hired a beauty artist, make sure she’s done in time (the last thing you want is to arrive at your couple photo session stressed out);
• Ladies, consider packing a pair of comfy shoes to get from one location to the next. Louboutins are not walking shoes!
• on cool winter days, dress in layers and consider hand warmers;
• bring breath fresheners;
• Leave your hotel early! There’s no harm in arriving at the meeting point before your photographer. Worst case, you and your sweetheart grab a quick café, right? Please do not underestimate the Parisian traffic. Relatedly, expect UBER drivers to cancel on short notice;
• WhatsApp your photographer (and any other vendors) when you leave your hotel, so she knows you’re on time;
• Trust in your photographer, give 100%, have a laugh, kiss abundantly, and enjoy your time together in Paris.

We recommend heading straight over to our intuitive booking page. Alternatively, submit your inquiry through our contact form, and one of our friendly staff will get right back to you.

Please already specify your preferred date, desired starting time, amount of photography coverage, and any initial photo ideas and locations. The more details you provide, the better we can help.

The only time we require an associate is for evening photo shoots, i.e., any session that concludes after official sunset.

Why? Because we likely need someone to discretely hold a light source to illuminate you. Also, theft around Paris is unfortunately even more prevalent in the evenings, and so the associate will protect our belongings.

With that said, an associate offers many fantastic advantages:

• he can help carry your belongings or props during the photo session, which frees up your hands to enjoy each other;
• The associate will help with crowd management, which is priceless during the day or in the evenings.
• She can, at times, photograph or even film (with her phone) behind the scenes.

Yes.

The clock officially starts at the scheduled kickoff time of your couple photoshoot in Paris (even if you arrive a few minutes late).

It’s entirely up to you how to use your commissioned time.

Some folks prefer to visit as many photo spots as possible. However, keep in mind that Paris is busy, so you should expect to lose time in traffic and while waiting for an UBER or taxi.

Others may want to make several outfit changes. Please appreciate that unless you rent a private van with a driver, you’ll lose time passing by your hotel or changing in a café.

Time is indeed money, and a personal driver will save you loads of time (and stress) in a busy city such as Paris.

How may you ask? Simple. Using WhatsApp, you or your photographer’s associate can continuously update the driver with live location updates and instruct him to meet you. As a result, you won’t have to wait for an UBER (they cancel on you frequently in Paris) or a taxi.

But there’s more: when you invest in a private van and driver, you should expect the following additional benefits:

• Easy and discrete outfit changes (as opposed to doing so in a café restroom or in plain public view);
• Protect your belongings. You can securely leave your wallets and phones in the van, which results in peace of mind and more flattering pictures (i.e., you avoid pocket bulging);
• Free up your hands since you can leave the props you are not using in the van;
• Stay comfy and warm in the winter (nothing beats being able to jump in a heated van after a winter sunrise shoot at Trocadéro);
• It should be reassuring that your driver will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel—one thing less to worry about.

There are no hard rules, and it totally depends on your priorities, the length of your couple photoshoot in Paris, and the photo locations.

With that said, less is typically more: plan at most one outfit per main location, such as Trocadéro, the Louvre, Montmartre, etc.

The number of edited photos you receive depends on the photography package you choose. Simply put, the more photography coverage you book, the more pictures you get.

Either way, you’ll see all images from your couple photoshoot in Paris (initially with watermark) and can then decide which ones you want us to edit for you.

Want more photos than come standard with your photography package?

We got you covered: each additional high-resolution, edited image is only Euro 5.

Suppose you just can’t decide … and want all the fabulous couple photos from your Paris photoshoot.

No problem. For a modest additional fee, you can immediately download all unedited pictures from your shoot in ultra-high-resolution and print-ready in JPEG format.

Best of all, you can purchase all unedited, high-resolution JPEG photos before or after your shoot.

Yes! Nobody knows your taste better than you. Ha. That’s why you’ll receive a proofing gallery with all the unedited images from your couple photoshoot in Paris within only 24 hours or less.

It’s then up to you to select the pictures you want us to edit. We make choosing your favs a breeze: all you need to do is click on your preferred images in the proofing gallery, and you’re good to go.

In turn, our editing team will then receive a log with your edit requests and get straight to work. You can optionally provide a few high-level editing guidelines for our editors.

For more information on the photo editing & turnaround process, please visit our general FAQ.

Absolutely. We are one of few studios in town that are experienced in both video and photo. Plus, our artists know each other well and seamlessly work in concert. The benefit for you? Fewer administrative touchpoints, expert preparation, and world-class photos and film.

After booking with us, you’ll receive a confirmation with your requested Paris proposal photography package, date, and starting time. We’ll also connect you with your photographer so you can kick preparations into high gear.

Booking with us is fast and simple: a retainer payment (50% of your overall proposal package fee) and a signed contract reserve your preferred date, starting time(s), and artist.

We accept all major credit cards. If you choose to pay your balance in cash, it is due on the day of the shoot.

We can control almost every element of your couple photoshoot in Paris except for the weather.

Do keep in mind, however, that an overcast sky and a few innocent rain drops actually offer real advantages, such as more flattering skin in your photos, no squinting, no undesirable shadows, etc.

You should also expect fewer crowds, resulting in greater privacy and romance. Finally, a light rain typically evokes even more beautiful emotions and unforgettable memories.

With that said, we’ll try to work around rain on short-notice and—when possible—even accommodate a date or time-switch.

It’s sometimes just not possible to keep your appointment despite best intentions.

We’ve seen it all, from airport disruptions and canceled flights to visa issues, strikes, health, pregnancy, job conflicts, and a host of other problems.

Yet, as one of the busiest Parisian photography studios, we’re almost always booked. This means we turn away new inquiries for your scheduled time slot immediately after you book us.

That is why we ask you to communicate with us in real-time to better help find a solution (or reschedule).

All our photo sessions come with an unconditional 100% cancellation guarantee as long as you notify us in writing at least 7 days before your scheduled shoot.

If you cancel within 7 days from the scheduled start of your shoot, 100% of the retainer is non-refundable.
