Paris Engagement Photos That are Both Fun and Chic.

Couple photoshoots—whether to commemorate a honeymoon, engagement, elopement, or simply for the joy of it—provide a wonderful opportunity for two people deeply in love to escape the everyday, honor their connection, and create romantic keepsakes.

This is especially true for engagement photo adventures in Paris, the City of Lights, Love, and Fashion. After all, you’re on Cloud 9, sporting a fabulous diamond ring, and have access to free-flowing bubbly in the French capital. Exceptional couple portraits capture the unique bond between two adventurous souls, incorporating their personalities, quirks, style, and, importantly, their connection.

We are renowned at Kiss Me in Paris for obsessing over details, so you don’t have to. Our interests align with yours, as our professional Parisian photographers want to have fun and come away with amazing pictures … and so do you. They are patient and kind and know when to provide posing guidance for those flattering, Instagram-worthy looks and when to step back and let you be yourselves.

The best Paris photo locations for your engagement session.

Choosing the ideal location for your Paris couple photos is one of the first decisions you’ll make (after hiring an experienced local photographer). We may be biased, but a romantic getaway with your sweetheart in the City of Love promises an unforgettable adventure and some of the happiest memories for years to come.

Paris is overflowing with picturesque photo spots, making it ideal for couples who want a good mix of iconic, quaint, romantic, and even quiet places. Here are some of our favorite spots in no particular order:

  • Trocadéro: The ultimate iconic Eiffel Tower spot, featuring sublime symmetry, awe-inspiring views, and lovely fountains & gardens—recommended photography coverage: 30-45 minutes.
  • The Louvre: Among our favorite photo spots, the museum, with its iconic glass pyramid and expansive courtyard, offers unparalleled photo variety. Afterward, enjoy nearby attractions such as Palais-Royal, Pont des Arts, and the Tuileries Garden. Perfect at sunrise and during the Blue Hour—recommended photography coverage: 1 hour.
  • Palais-Royal: A favorite Hollywood filming location (Emily in Paris, Mission Impossible, Da Vinci Code, etc.), this historical site is second to none when seeking a non-Eiffel Tower backdrop. Expect the perfect blend of elegant architecture, stunning column-lined alleyways, playful black & white Buren Columns, and a spectacularly manicured park with benches and fountains to pose on—recommended photography coverage: 45 minutes.
  • Montmartre: If we only had time for one non-Eiffel Tower photo spot in Paris, the artistic neighborhood of Montmartre would likely top our list. Expect charming cobblestone streets, quaint Parisian cafés, and plenty of Pinterest favorites, such as La Maison Rose, Le Consulat, the Wall of Love, Montmartre Stairs (John Wick 4, anyone?), and of course, Sacré-Cœur and Place du Tertre. Recommended photography coverage: 60-90 minutes.
  • Luxembourg Gardens: Perhaps the most elegant park apart from Versailles, with immaculately manicured lawns, tree-lined alleys, dozens of statues sculpted by the likes of Rodin, and, of course, the monumental Medici Fountain (ideal for sunrise elopements and marriage proposals). Recommended photography coverage: 30-45 minutes.
  • Alexander III Bridge: Pont Alexandre III is an excellent photo location for couples, particularly at sunrise and evening, including the Golden Hour and the Blue Hour. Considered one of the most elegant bridges in Paris, Alexander III is centrally located, making it easy to combine with other popular spots around town. Expect more subtle but equally amazing views of the Iron Lady. Recommended photography coverage: 30-45 minutes.
  • Notre Dame: The greater Notre Dame area has fantastic photo spots, including Au Vieux Paris d’Arcole Cafe, Shakespeare Bookstore, picturesque bridges, and some of the best Seine River vantage points.

Next, it’s time to pick a professional Paris photographer. Besides availability and budget considerations, choosing the right artist comes down to the photography style you’re attracted to and the photographer’s ability to inspire you and your partner to connect naturally.

Once you lock in your photographer, it’s time to kick preparations into high gear. And that’s where this gallery comes in: we recommend you answer the following questions as you browse these pictures:

Tip
Ever waited 10 minutes for an UBER … just to have it cancel last second? Well, in Paris, it happens more often than you’d imagine. 

So, when you can afford it, our preferred method of getting around town is by private van with an English-speaking driver. It’s one of the best investments you’ll make: coordinating with an experienced driver saves much time better spent on fun Paris engagement pictures.

Plus, you’ll know your belongings are safe from theft; you can even use the van to discretely change your outfits and store props.

  • Do you prefer bright, airy morning light and a relative absence of tourists? Or rather Paris in the evening, when according to Woody Allen, the City is most enchanting and magical? Of course, funds permitting, combine sunrise and the so-called Blue Hour for maximum fun and picture variety. Here’s a nifty tool to figure out sunrise and sunset times for the day of your Paris engagement photos.
  • Style matters: scan our gallery for outfits that speak to you. What about hair and makeup? Whether simple or elegant, dress how you want for your Paris Photoshoot.
Tip
During the winter, it’s smart to dress in layers and bring a pair of comfortable boots you can easily slip into when you’re not being photographed.
  • Do photo props work with your personality? Great props energize and supercharge the fun factor! Props can even make you forget that a camera is pointed at you. In contrast, the wrong props tend to feel awkward and distract you from connecting with your loved one.
