Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is iconic – timeless, beautiful and the epitome of love in Paris. There are several locations which offer fantastic views of the Eiffel Tower such as Trocadero square with fountains, garden and stairs. It’s one of our favorite spots for people getting married in Paris who want to have a magical view for their ceremony pictures. Another amazing location with views of the Eiffel Tower is Bir-Hakeim bridge.
Louvre
The Louvre Palace and Louvre pyramid is the second most famous landmark in Paris after the Eiffel Tower. The Louvre blends classic and modern architecture and is therefore a fascinating backdrop for your photo shoot. It’s a perfect playground to get both casual and formal photos, so it works for engagement sessions as well as wedding or elopement photo shoots or ceremonies, but also for families and solo shots. Combining the view of the Pyramid with the fountains and the splendid variety of Classical Architecture make the Louvre a must for photos.
Alexander III bridge
With its golden statues, traditional lamp posts and a great view on the Eiffel Tower, Alexander III bridge is likely the most magnificent bridge in Paris. It is also a beautiful location for your Paris wedding or engagement photos. On the bridge you have a fantastic view of the Eiffel Tower, but also the stairs leading down to the Seine riverside and the riverside itself offer picturesque spots for your Paris photos.
Luxembourg Gardens
One of the most exquisite parks in Paris is the Luxembourg Gardens with landmarks such as the Medici Fountain and the Luxembourg Palace. It is such an awe-inspiring backdrop with luscious gardens and superb architecture.
Concorde square
If you are visiting Paris for the first time, then the Concorde square may not typically be on your bucket list of things to do or sights to visit. However, you can hardly find a more elegant and glamorous location for your Paris photo session or wedding in Paris. The enormous fountains, statues and ornaments around are are simply breathtaking.
La Conciergerie
This Paris Chateau location really is a hidden gem and off the beaten track. La Conciergerie is an ancient city palace dating back to medieval times. There is a lovely public garden right in front of the Paris Chateau which is a wonderfully intimate location for a Paris elopement ceremony or photo shoot. It is located near Notre-Dame.
** Today it is housing an art library so the inside cannot be used for photos.
Parisian Cafés
Parisian cafés are another great location for your photo shoot in Paris, whether it’s for fun or engagement/wedding photos. It offers the best of two worlds: the chic and classic vibe of Paris with a touch of the incredible architecture. It’s also a great way to capture that candid moment in true Parisian fashion. Plus, you get to enjoy a delicious coffee or croissant!
