A PARIS WEDDING SHOOT - Recap and re-edits of a milestone in my career

in weddingphotography •  7 years ago 

In 2010 a beautiful couple, which I now call good friends, asked if I would be willing to do wedding pictures for them on their Honeymoon in Paris. I didn't photograph the actual wedding day but gave them a bit of a discount and they paid for me to spend a week in paris and one of the days I took some pictures for them.

MILESTONE
It was the first of what has now been quite a few of international weddings. It also got me some really amazing shots to help my wedding photography early on in my career just 2 years after starting to do photography full time.

ABOUT THE MOORES
They are now film makers and photographers and always been willing and wonderful subjects for the camera. It was a very fun and long day full of all sorts of amazing pictures. To pull something like this off or last all day taking pictures and in a suit and wedding dress you have to be pretty dedicated and full of creativity.

They come with us off-roading pretty frequently.

Check out their website They have skills.

FIRST UP: EIFFEL TOWER

It was the first stop of the morning and the last stop of the night.

We got away from the crowds that gather right underneath and tried to get shots where the full tower would be in the shot, also we wanted less crowds in the pictures and swarming the couple.

MY FAVORITE

This was probably my favorite and most used wedding shot for many years because of it's cute candid feel and yet still had the sense that it was perhaps in another country. And i guess that's because it was all those things.

RANDOM HAPPENINGS

As we wandered around we ran into some fun people like this guy who was on his smoke break so of course we got some shots with the locals.

THE CATHEDRAL

I've photographed plenty of brides and grooms in front of beautiful buildings but rarely one so old and well known as Notre-Dame de Paris

THE FOOD

Plus it was a long day we had to stop for food.

LOTS OF STOPS

Yes we got a friend of mine to come down from London to help out and drive my car around to hit a ton of spots that day. It would have never been possible without some sort of chauffer waiting in the vehicle because parking would have just been way too difficult and there would have been too much walking otherwise.

I AM STILL A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Even though i do lots of other photography and sometimes on social media I post other stuff...
I am indeed still open for business for wedding photography.
I still am willing to travel anywhere in the world even though I do live in Utah full time again.

In fact wedding photography is still the majority of my income.

One of my all time favorites as well.

i look all the pictures with an open mouth...They are really beautiful has great use of light ,place and also they are all edited really professionally...

Thank you for sharing this beautfiul wedding pictures with us and have a nice day my friend...

Thanks appreciate it!

Great wedding photos, good viewing angles, and incredible light, this picture tells the story!

I love the backlight on the woman head. Nice shot!

Sooooo good!! I want to say more but the right words aren't coming to me right now. They must have been overjoyed with the results - but I'm also impressed at them for being willing to go to so many places and spend all that time.

I can't remember it's been a while... but we're now good friends so I guess i did something right.

Nothing quite like Paris! So romantic, great shots!

yeah it's a beautiful place for pictures for sure!

Great shots and awesome post!!

Very inspirational work, have been a great fan of your wedding photography since G+ Days.

Damn these are awesome! I was wondering how you managed to hit so many locations all over the city until I read you had a volunteer chauffeur! They're not exactly close to each other :) I'm really struggling to find a favourite! They're all so good! The couple must have been so pleased, they certainly got their money's worth out of you :)

Yeah I did another wedding there years later and it was good but we only had a couple hours so it made a huge difference to have a couple that wasn't just willing but it was their idea to go to all these places. Makes a big difference when the energy level and excitement comes from them and you don't have to spend your energy keeping them excited.

I can imagine! Willing participants are always so much easier to work with. Of course even that only take you so far, the execution really still relies on the skill of the photographer which you clearly have in abundance :)

This is a lovely and very attractive post as well .i love these photographs.please keep it up
