an autumn elopement at the eiffel tower

October 14, 2009

Well, it’s officially autumn, and all across Paris people are layering up and turning on the chauffage. But before it got chilly, we were able to squeeze in one more elopement celebration in Paris. Nick (who is a dead-ringer for Tobey McGuire, by-the-way…) had wanted a big, home-style wedding surrounded by all of his friends and family, while Christina always dreamed of an intimate ceremony in Paris. They chose to compromise- by having both! Their traditional wedding (with all the trimmings) was held in Richmond, Virginia in late September, and was followed a few weeks later by a sweet and simple elopement ceremony beneath the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. Christina’s parents were able to join them for the trip, and made their celebration that much more special by saying a few words during the ceremony. Afterwards, the four were whisked away, photographer in tow, to all four corners of the city-  where the newlyweds were photographed enjoying the last drops of Indian summer in Paris.  Kisses and Félicitations to them both!
