behind the scenes of a wedding in paris photo shoot

May 10, 2010

So, I’m back in the blogging saddle again… Last month, I had the opportunity to work with Robert & Kathleen Photographers, as well as Candice Coppola from Jubilee Events and Beth Chapman from The White Dress By the Shore who all came to Paris as part of Robert and Kathleen’s “Taking Off” photography seminar.  Working together with a team of awesome U.S.- and Paris-based vendors, this group pulled together a couple of gorgeous Paris-inspired wedding photo shoots.   The Big Reveal will be in a few days, but before that, I wanted to share a few behind-the-scenes images from their whirlwind visit. Take a look:

I’m extremely flattered to have been asked to collaborate with the fabulously talented Candice Dowling of Jubilee Events, photographers Robert and Kathleen Trenske and Beth Chapman from The White Dress By The Shore on an upcoming photo shoot at the end of the month. Robert & Kathleen are bringing a group of photographers to Paris as part of their Taking Off photography seminar, and while they’re here we’ll be styling a romantic “Wedding in Paris” photo shoot.  All of the pieces are coming together, and I’ll definitely post more info soon, but in the meantime, take a look at the sumptuous inspiration board for the shoot:

Well, I’m still putting together my Parisian Valentine’s Day Gift Wish List.  I know I’m going to have to hand it over to My French Guy really soon if I plan on getting anything at all,  but with all of the choices in Paris, it really is hard to narrow it down.  Earlier in the week I was inspired by Avenue Montaigne and the couture boutiques in Le Triangle D’Or, and posted some of my favorite luxury Valentine’s Day gift items. This weekend I was hanging out with friends who live near Rue Oberkampf in the 11th Arrondissement and was inspired to put together a wish list based around this eclectic, artistic, funkier part of Paris. Take a look:
