Using the iconic architecture of Notre Dame we did a few shots in the grounds, before taking the Metro to the Eiffel Tower for some family and bride and groom portraits.  Cedric our driver, was waiting at the Louvre and before jumping in for a tour around Paris, we captured the happy couple against the dramatic silhouette. On the tour we went everywhere from the Tuileries Garden and finished up at Montmartre.

As you can see in a few of the images it rained towards the end when we were at Montmartre in front if Sacre Coeur.  But those end up being some of my favorite pics.  The bridal party then went onto celebrate with a intimate dinner at Pramil with just family.

The brides Tatyana Mereny uk wedding dress is romantic and bohemian esq, but read her story about falling in love with THE dress and purchasing online; “I first saw my dress while just “window” shopping on Etsy and fell in love with it. I immediately contacted Tatyana to try to convince myself that I could buy my wedding dress online. I ended up buying a different dress because my parents liked it.

After a month and continuous conversations with Tatyana, I decided her dress was my dress. I somehow had the wedding dress moment without even trying it on. A few months later, I went to NY to try it on and have my measurements confirmed. Tatyana changed the back of my dress into a bow instead of a flower (I have a weakness for bows) and made a custom crystal belt for me. The whole experience was nerve wracking and great at the same time.”

LOVE the rain shots!
