Lovelocks on the Pont des Arts

My favorite bridge in Paris is definitely the Pont des Arts, a beautiful wooden pedestrian bridge.  Every time I walk on the Pont des Arts I have to stop and take a few moments to enjoy the view, even if I’m in a hurry.  The bridge connects Le Louvre to L’Insitut de France, so there’s  breathtaking architecture on both banks.   Then there’s the Seine where you have a picturesque view of the Ile de la Cité, Notre Dame and the Pont Neuf on one side and the Eiffel Tower on the other.  It’s the perfect bridge for a quiet and utterly romantic stroll with the one you love as well as a stunning location for an Engagement, Proposal, Day After or Honeymoon Photo Session.  The Lovelock trend makes the Pont des Arts even more enchanting.  Couples from around the world are attaching padlocks engraved with their names to the pont as a representation their love.  J’adore!

This photograph of the Pont des Arts with L’Institut de France in the background is from a Love Shoot I did on a snowy day last winter.  You can see more from this photo shoot here.

So, if you and your amour are ever in Paris be sure to take a promenade romantique on the Pont des Arts.  And don’t forget your Lovelock!

Christina’s Trash the Dress ~ Paris Bridal Photography

Christina is a British bride whose husband Dave is currently working and living in Paris.  The two are separated a lot, but they both go back and forth so they can be together as much as possible.  Although Christina lives in England, she thought it would be romantic to trash her dress in Paris because so much of their precious time together is now spent in this beautiful city. Christina was awesome and up for anything which made the shoot a lot of fun.  As her Trash the Dress session progressed her dress became très dirty.  So when I suggested we end the photo shoot in a big fountain, Christina happily replied “Let’s do it! If it’s going out, it’s going out in style.”  And as you can see in the photos, she really did just that!
