Wonder what you can do for your Paris engagement shoot?

We share with you 10 best photo ideas across various landmarks and hidden gems in Paris.

Paris is one of the most popular destination for many couples, be it a place for proposal, pre-wedding holiday or a place to unwind for your honeymoon. The City of Love simply exudes romance!

Many couples would hire a Paris photographer to capture the beautiful memories of their vacation. We selected 10 best ideas so that your engagement photos don’t have to be dull and awkward 🙂

1. People watching at a Parisian Cafe

Coffee shops in Paris just give off those romantic vibes. Besides, who can say no to hot chocolate and macaroons? I would say, visiting a Parisian cafe is a must-do activity for any couple.

2. Enjoy the serenity at Square Jean XXIII Park

Situated right behind the Notre-Dame Cathedral, this park is a perfect stop-over to relax on a bench and take a break from the hustle and bustle of Paris. In spring, this is a must-visit because the cherry trees bloom in pink!

3. Strolling along the banks of Seine River

We love how a simple walk along the Seine river can also be a beautiful and timeless memory of your engagement.

4. Cuddling in the bed of your Parisian apartment

Do an at-home session by shooting in right inside your apartment. Embellished with details, a Parisian architecture in the background and Parisian breakfast, croissant and coffee, the photos will be super intimate with the romantic touch of Paris!

5. Strolling on Pont du Alexandre III during sunset

An intricately decorated bridge, with a beautiful backdrop. You can see the golden dome of Les Invalides and the Grand and Petit Palais on the other end. The most famous bridge in Paris is a grand work of art and worthwhile to shoot at.

6. Experience the streets in the art district of Montmartre

Monmarte is a well-known art district filled with romantic ambience. Being on a hilltop, you can get a fantastic view of Paris too! Since you are there don’t forget to visit Sacre Coeur – another iconic Paris monument.

7. Visit the Louvre

Art-lovers will love to visit the world’s biggest museum. Be it the glass pyramid or the courtyard, with its mix of modern and historical architecture, even if you are not an expert in art. A visit to the Louvre is a must for an elegant and romantic engagement photos.

8. Ride on a carousel

There are a few carousels that located across Paris. Our favourite, The Le Carrousel De La Tour Eiffel is conveniently located close to the the Eiffel Tower. These merry-go-rounds brings will definitely bring some romantic fun to your photos. After all, isn’t love a carousel with its ups and down?

9. Shop like a Parisian at Galerie Vivienne

Galerie Vivienne is a hidden gem in Paris. This sheltered shopping street also doubles up as a fantastic location if it turns into a rainy day. Built in 1823, this well-maintained shopping arcade features an elegant glass canopy above and an intricate mosaic detail on the floor. Perfect!

10. Catching the best view of the Eiffel Tower at sunrise

It would be blasphemous not to include the Eiffel Tower in our list. Best to visit Place Du Trocadero at dawn, to catch the first light shining on the Eiffel Tower.

Trust us, it will be worth it!
