The fabulous costumes of Downton Abbey are the inspiration for this timelessly elegant gown. The veil frames the face with the most beautiful French Chantilly Lace light and photographs beautifully.

The 1920’s is the decade when fashion became more exciting and attractive. Our fabulous couple and their party were set in the table of various antique china which our beautiful bride Laura collected since the day she got engaged. Adding vibrant pops of gold mirror in the woods, clean whites in a sumptuous lace runner for the tables and Champagne and shrimps and the every detail of the decoration was the essence of the1920s Great Gatsby Party.

 

Eleven Hearts in Paris: Why Destination Wedding Photography Is More Than a Location

December 10, 2025

There is something unmistakable about Paris. Even on a quiet afternoon, when the city softens under a pale sky, it carries a pulse of romance that seems to rise from the streets themselves. I took this photograph while scouting for a destination wedding, holding my Eleven Hearts card against the blurred sweep of rooftops and the Eiffel Tower in the distance. It wasn’t a staged moment. It was simply a pause, a breath, a reminder of why I do this work.

As a fine art wedding photographer, traveling to cities like Paris is never just about arriving at a beautiful backdrop. It’s about understanding how light moves across ancient stone, how color shifts with the weather, how a couple inhabits a place that already carries centuries of love stories. Paris invites you to slow down, to watch, to notice the subtleties that define editorial wedding imagery: the quiet glances, the gentle movements, the poetry that unfolds naturally.

Destination weddings allow couples to root their celebration in a place that reflects something true about their relationship. For some, Paris becomes more than a destination; it becomes a character in the story. My role is to translate that emotional landscape into photographs that feel timeless, intimate, and full of life.

Whether your wedding takes place in Washington DC, Austin, Los Angeles, or halfway across the world, my approach remains the same: attentive, artful, and deeply personal. I follow the honest moments, the shifting light, and the beauty that emerges when people forget they are being photographed.

If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding in Paris or anywhere your story leads, I would be honored to help you create a collection of images that carries the spirit of your day and the soul of the place you choose.
