A Photographer in Paris

Laurie and Dan came to Paris to celebrate their anniversary.

We started the afternoon near Eiffel Tower. I always try to find new angles for this too often photographed monument.

 I like this image through the Peace monument. Word Peace is written in different languages on columns and glass structures that make the monument very light and non obstructive.

 After a stop on Champs Elysees and Arc de Triomphe, we went to Montmartre.

These street “musicians” were a little drunk but a good addition to our picture.

And finally, a moment to enjoy the view on a particularly clear day.

Eric proposed on Pont des Arts. See brand new ring on Sandra’s finger. Here they are inside pyramide du Louvre.

At their hotel. I like all the Parisian details: cobble stones, sand stone building, typical window and geraniums.

Walking on left bank, we came upon a group of old cars getting ready for a movie or TV shoot.

Old car and new ring. Box of Chocolat Menier on rooftop.

Could not resist a Paris red door.

Best wishes to Eric and Sandra. I loved their choice of clothes, neutral colors to accompany a typical grey sky.

A quick stop at Brasserie Balzar before opening hours to get that “cafe look”

Nancy and John are very elegant and …so happy !

We picked the kiosque in Jardin du Luxembourg for the reading of the vows. It was a sunny day after several rainy ones.

John’s sister on the right sang a beautiful song in French!  by Gabriel Faure.  A few red rose petals on the ground were our only “decoration”. Not much more is needed when you are in Paris!

There are all looking at Bettie singing her song. I like the roof of the kiosque with its exotic wood and shape.

Lunch at le Procope was very enjoyable (rue de l’Ancienne Comedie) .

And a little walk to the Louvre after lunch, enjoying a sunny afternoon on Pont des Arts. Nancy was wearing a very pretty dress and you can see some details here. Best to both, they are a regal couple.

 Alice and Max are in Paris to celebrate their honeymoon. At 8:30  on the Champs Elysees, they are seuls au monde !

Inside Louvre, we are able to dodge the crowds as well.

My favorite cafe le Nemours for a quick stop.

With the Daniel Buren sculptures at Palais Royal. I love that pink bag!

And finally we got to use that umbrella. It was a beautiful quiet Sunday in Paris and one that Alice and Max will remember for a long time.

Benedicte and Jean Luc were married in March …four  years ago. I just found their file again. Now they have 2 little boys!

 As they were exiting church, family members threw cute little red hearts at them.

A tired guest!

 Reception was at magnificent Abbaye des Vaulxde Cernay. www.abbayedecernay.com.

Misty and Patrick honeymooned in Paris on this cold February week end. Misty looked lovely in her dress . Do not let the blue sky fool you as temperature was in the 30ies. I will post more photos in the next few days. They wanted a photo with the Eiffel Tower so…here it is !
