Wedding
AN URBAN & MODERN ROMANCE,
AT SHANGRI-LA PARIS
Shangri-La, Paris
MEET THE COUPLE
It was the day before their wedding at Shangri-La, when I first met A&M during their stay in Paris. They had gathered their closest loved ones to celebrate their wedding, and it was immediately clear that France held a special place in their hearts. For them, sharing the French art of living with those dearest to them was an obvious choice. They envisioned an urban black-and-white photo session that would capture the essence of Paris without falling into clichés. As we strolled around the Palais Royal, these two revealed their joyful and close bond through my lens.
MY VISION
FOR A&M’S WEDDING
Their request was clear: they desired a wedding that was both candid and editorial. Meeting their family on the wedding day, I quickly realized that the celebration would also be warm and festive. A&M wanted to infuse modernity into the timeless elegance of the Shangri-La, with a decor that was minimalist and intimate, reflecting their refined taste. My challenge was to create a wedding reportage that seamlessly blended modern, urban Parisian elements with the authenticity and warmth of the moments shared among family.
Pre Wedding
The Palais Royal is one of my favorite places in Paris, an intimate setting that blends lush gardens with classic Parisian architecture.
It was the perfect backdrop for A&M’s couple session, which they envisioned as urban and authentically Parisian.
Wedding
The Shangri-La is a historic and iconic venue in the heart of Paris. My approach infused the timeless elegance of this landmark with a modern, urban Parisian touch, all while preserving the authenticity of the moments shared with loved ones. Each frame captures the blend of classic charm and contemporary flair.
