Eiffel Tower Euphoria & Beyond: Your 3-Step Guide to Parisian Pre-Wedding Bliss with Janis Ratnieks, Your Parisian BFF Photographer!
Bonjour, mes tourtereaux (lovebirds)!
Are you dreaming of Paris pre-wedding photos, the City of Lights? Are you worried about planning, permits, and (sacre bleu!) bad hair days? Fear not, mon petit chou (my little cabbage)! Janis Ratnieks, your Paris pre-wedding photographer and Parisian BFF is here to whisk you away on a stress-free, laughter-filled photoshoot adventure. We’ll capture iconic Eiffel Tower moments (because let’s be honest, it’s a must!), but we’ll also venture beyond the crowds to discover hidden gems that’ll make your photos uniquely Parisian.
Step 1: Embrace Your Inner Parisian
Before we delve into stunning locations, ditch the tourist blues. Think less “forced smiles next to landmarks,” and more “natural moments of love and laughter as you explore the city.” Imagine strolling hand-in-hand, whispering sweet nothings in front of the Eiffel Tower, or sharing a playful kiss under the watchful gaze of the Arc de Triomphe. With me as your guide, you can focus on each other, not confusing street signs (leave that to me!).
Step 2: 7 Parisian Gems for Your Pre-Wedding Backdrop Extravaganza!
Now, buckle up for a whirlwind tour of 7 Parisian backdrops that’ll make your pre-wedding photos le hit (the hit):
Eiffel Tower Euphoria: Iconic Romance Awaits
- We can’t resist the iconic Eiffel Tower, can we? Let’s capture all its glory from every angle – playful poses beneath it, a romantic picnic on the Champ de Mars with the Iron Lady sparkling in the distance, or a classic silhouette shot at sunset.
Trocadéro Terrace Tango: Breathtaking Views & Parisian Charm
- Head to the Trocadéro Gardens for breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower. Imagine twirling in each other’s arms with the Eiffel Tower as your majestic witness, or recreating a playful scene from a classic French film.
Passerelle Debilly Parisian Promenade: A Unique Perspective on Love
- This pedestrian bridge near the Eiffel Tower offers a unique perspective. Imagine strolling hand-in-hand across the bridge with the Seine River flowing beneath you, or a playful scene where you recreate a romantic bridge moment from your favorite movie.
Pont Alexandre III Parisian Pageantry: Elegance & Opulence
- This ornate bridge is a Parisian masterpiece. Imagine a romantic photoshoot with the bridge’s golden statues as your backdrop, or a playful chase scene across its intricate walkways.
Montmartre Magic & Sacré-Coeur Spectacle: Bohemian Vibes & Artistic Flair
- Wander through the charming streets of Montmartre, capturing the vibrant energy of Sacré-Coeur basilica in the background. Strike a pose with a street performer or two, or recreate a scene from your favorite Parisian film (think “Amélie”!).
Seine River Serenade near Pont Neuf: Romantic Cruise & Parisian Beauty
- Hop on a boat and cruise down the Seine River for a photoshoot with a touch of romance. Imagine golden hour light shimmering off the water, the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral standing majestically in the distance, or a quiet embrace beneath the Pont Neuf bridge.
Louvre, Place Vendôme, & Hidden Gems: Uncover Parisian Secrets
