What is an elopement?
An elopement is an intimate, small wedding that focuses on your experience as a couple and really reflects your personality. This is a great alternative if you don’t feel like planning a big traditional wedding is for you.
Paris as your elopement destination
As Paris Elopement Photographer & Videographer, we think you would agree with us that nothing really compares to Paris for your elopement wedding. Imagine getting away in a city rich with stunning architecture, delicious French food, and luxury art-de-vivre. Even the atmosphere here makes it absolutely magical! Ready for a dreamy and romantic elopement wedding in Paris, the capital of love and fashion?
Should I consider eloping in Paris?
Truth be told, the reason you want to get married with just the two of you is probably to avoid all the “to-do-lists”. For instance: finalizing the huge guest list, picking venues that would satisfy everyone, or the inevitable family drama. In a nutshell, you don’t want your wedding to become a stressful task when it’s supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life!
A Paris Elopement is the perfect alternative for an adventurous and extra wedding experience: love is ALL you need! Your elopement could be just with the two of you, or with a few of your closest family members and friends.
What are the perks of doing an elopement?
- You are free to do whatever feels the most authentic to you
- Opportunity to fully show your style and be 100% yourself
- More focus and attention on the details
- No need to please anyone except yourselves
- There won’t be an unnecessarily high budget dedicated to a traditional wedding (consider spending that for your honeymoon instead!)
Some of our clients have a Paris Elopement first and then have a reception for their friends and family members back home. The couples we met from Asia usually have a huge traditional wedding back home. Hence, some have taken the opportunity to celebrate their pre-wedding photo and video shoots as an elopement. So they could exchange their vows with more intimacy and truly focus on the two of them.
