romantic wedding Paris

Paris in the snow

By Anne & Nancy in Photo Galleries & Trends No Comments Tags: , ,

The weather is starting to warm up as is the wedding season! For the next several months we’re going to be busy busy with weddings in Paris and en province and enjoying the lovely French summer.

But we do love an elegant winter wedding, so if you’re toying with the idea of an end of year fête here are some fabulous photos of a winter wonderland wedding we did in a snow-covered Paris last December.

A huge thanks to Dominique from Studio Cabrelli, whose photo of Jane & Craig in the snow (bottom center) absolutely deserved its award from the Wedding Photojournalist Association!

Holiday wedding – Paris in December

By Anne & Nancy in Photo Galleries & Trends 2 Comments Tags: , , , ,

Angeli and Tim hail from Canada and although they were planning a large traditional wedding for February 2011, they decided to have an intimate affair in Paris so that family based in Europe could celebrate with them.

We’re always happy to have weddings to plan in the “off-season”, and it’s even more of a pleasure when we get to work with a couple who are truly great together and a joy to be around.

There were so many unique elements of this wedding: the bride’s quest for lavender Ferragamo pumps, her amazing boudoir shoot with One & Only Paris Photography, the gorgeous greenery arrangements & silk orchid bouquet (the bride is allergic to pollen!), the placecards with Eiffel Towers made out of antique stamps (the bride’s DIY touch), the keys attached to each couple’s box of Ladurée macarons… and of course the magical setting of the Place Vendôme, all lit up for the holidays.

Late December Wedding in Paris

By Anne & Nancy in Photo Galleries & Trends No Comments Tags: , , , ,

We were lucky to work with some great clients on December weddings – winter weddings are such a treat!

Our final 2010 wedding was for Julie and Terry who came to celebrate their wedding and ring in the new year in the city of light!

And they did manage to have light (at least a little) for their photo shoot around Paris – which is rare in the gray month of December!

We loved Julie’s “old world glamour” style – especially the fascinator and the fur wrap.

After a long day of taking photos they arrived at the restaurant to do a personal exchange of vows.

Carla and Morgan, both from Florida, came to celebrate their special day in Paris with a couple of close friends.  They exchanged vows in a small garden, near the Eiffel Tower followed by lots of little French treats.

Romantic Small Wedding in Paris

By Anne & Nancy in Photo Galleries & Trends 4 Comments Tags: , , , ,

We were contacted by a couple at Christmas time this year looking to have a romantic elopement in Paris.  With only one month of planning and the holidays in between we sprung into action to make their wedding vision come true.  Here are some pictures from their day which included getting ready at a private apartment by the Eiffel Tower, a wedding ceremony in an elegant salon of a 5 star hotel and then a tour of Paris for pictures.  They and their two friends ended the special day with a dinner at a restaurant under the Eiffel Tower.

PS. His green suit fortunately was just for laughs

Eco-wedding idea : Save the date video

By Anne & Nancy in Photo Galleries & Trends No Comments Tags: , , , ,

You’re recently engaged, you’ve picked your date and dream location in France.  Now it’s time to send out the “save the dates”!

There’s no lack of cute independent stationers and interesting materials to use to announce your wedding date – but why not save yourself the postage and hassle of licking envelopes?

A great, eco-friendly way to tell your guests save the date?  Your own personalized save the date video, set to a favorite song.

We at Fête in France are particularly smitten with this idea – and we happen to be in on the best kept secret in Paris for video save the dates.  Curious?  Contact us for more info!

A New Year’s Wedding in Paris

An Australian couple kicked off Fête in France’s 2010 weddings.  They braved the cold Parisian weather for a heart-warming ceremony with a group of close friends and spent the crisp clear winter afternoon taking pictures around Paris with One and Only Paris Photography.
