Italy and Lake Como in particular is one the most sought-after locations for a destination wedding in Europe. And it happens to be one of my favorite countries I travel to several times every year. This couple opted for original fashion forward outfits for their elopement day, styled by Eugenia Dragun and organized by Sasha Yesman. The MUaH was by the talented Anna Shalik.

Venice, the city I visit several times every year - to say how much I love it and know every street of it! I was very excited to shoot this elopement for two. The couple exchanged their vows during a gondola ride and had the best early morning time photo shoot around the City of Canals creating lifetime memories of them being happy together getting lost in the small streets, enjoying gorgeous views of San Marco, eating gelato...

I really love being involved in outfits search for the photoshoot. Thank you O&H for being such a dream clients to work with. Blush pink is one of my favourite colours for a light and airy photo session and light-coloured suit like this light blue is the best choice too.

How exciting it was to come back to the Chateau Bouffémont with this beautiful couple for their one year wedding anniversary celebration and capture this beautiful portraits of the bride wearing her Berta dress with a cathedral cape.

This summer, I met up with Kate and Andrew for their wedding photos to be done in Paris and Chateau de Chantilly. Kate dreamt about this castle pictures for her wedding day and convinced her husband to stop for a couple of days in France on their way to their honeymoon on Maldives. Sounds like a dream, right?

It was a true honour for me to document this very special event: a Silver Wedding Anniversary! 

It was love at first sight at the supermarket in 1991 in the Netherlands. 25 years later Nelda and Klaas came to Paris with their bridal squad to celebrate their 25 years of marriage with chic. We did a photo session at the Eiffel Tower, High Tea at the Alexander III bridge, lunch at the George V Four Seasons Restaurant and dinner in Le Café Marly  at the Louvre Museum all together. 

Can you imagine you with your partner together in the City of Love with your bridesmaids and groomsmen a quarter-century after your wedding day? 

Is their anything more romantic than a vow renewal in Paris? After 7 years of happy marriage these parents of a beautiful little girl thought it would be a great idea to celebrate their love, renew their vows and have some beautiful photos together in Paris. We've chosen some of the most iconic Parisian locations: The Eiffel tower, the Tuilleries Gardens, the Louvre and Palais Royal. For the vow renewal we've chosen an intimate courtyard of the Louvre as it has the truly Parisian architecture. That place is surrounded by history and special atmosphere.

Hayley and James from New York decided to plan a last-minute elopement in Paris. Their wedding day was quite rainy and cold. And guess what? You can't even tell they are cold, because these two are just that good! These two are the sweetest architecture and art lovers I was lucky to meet in Paris! Michelle from Ruffled by Grace officiated their intimate ceremony. And Hayley looked gorgeous in her Vera Wang wedding dress!

This chateau cherry blossom elopement for two is what Spring dreams are made of. Cherry blossoms is my favourite time in Paris and I'm so happy when couples are lucky enough to have their photos done during this period.

This couple being both visual creatives was dreaming about an intimate and special elopement. They've chosen Versailles Gardens with both a very French Chateau and English Countryside vibe. We were lucky with the foggy weather that definitely added something special to their day. The gardens were full of blooming magnolias and cherry trees, wisterias and other spring flowers, providing us with the perfect backdrop for an intimate vow exchange. With the blooming flowers and garden views, these images provide epic inspiration to intimate garden weddings and elopements everywhere.

The possibilities for a destination wedding in Paris are endless. But Carla and Steve exchanged their vows at a very special place – they had the historic Notre-Dame Cathedral in the background. We couldn't be more heartbroken at the images of fire engulfing Notre-Dame later the same day. At the same time we felt blessed to have been able to witness it's eternal beauty and capture this last images of it before the fire. So this day will have a special place in our hearts forever.

A full day elopement for two in the city of Love. M&E started their morning with getting-ready at their hotel. The groom went downstairs before the bride put her dress on, so that they could have a real first look at the hotel before heading to Trocadero to have their wedding ceremony. They exchanged their vows and cried and laughed a lot with their ceremony officiant - Aude. After the ceremony they have chosen to take their photos with the Eiffel tower, Alexander III bridge, Petit Palais, the Louvre, Palais Royal to finish at the beautiful Le Nemours cafe. It started raining in the evening, but M&E found even more romantic, so we did some pictures of Paris by night at the Bir-Hakeim bridge with the perfect Eiffel tower view.
