chic bridal looks for a paris winter wedding

March 10, 2010

Spring is supposedly just around the corner, but judging by the big freeze in Paris (not to mention the incredible snow storm that dropped on the South of France this week),  it still seems a long way off.  But rather than moan and groan about the arctic chill that’s spread across France, why don’t we instead imagine ourselves chic and toasty, wrapped in layers of silk, satin and snugly (faux, s’il vous plait) fur- all ready for a late-winter wedding in Paris?

a midnight honeymoon in paris photo session

February 17, 2010

Take a look at these photos from a Honeymoon in Paris photo session posted by Rowell Photography on their blog today. Their clients, Tara and Ryan, wanted to have pix taken in front of different Parisian monuments, but didn’t want to have tons of tourists in every shot. Destination photographers Erika and Ryan’s crafty solution was to take the newlyweds on a midnight taxi ride through Paris, hopping out wherever the moment moved them. The results are a testament to the beauty and romance of the City of Light:

le louvre at midnight

midnight, le louvre

midnight at notre dame

place de la concorde, midnight
