Jonathan & Nari from New York were married at the Shangri-la in Paris followed by a stunning reception in the ballroom with floral installations designed by Luxe Paris Events.

I’m so happy that one of their images taken on the terrace of the Shangri-la suite was one of the winning images of the ‘Junebug Weddings Best Destination Wedding Photography’ competition.

WINNER!!!

Their Wedding Love Story

We met at my first real job out of college, and it was probably somewhere near the end of summer.  It was in the morning, and I was in the break room alone, and he walked in. The rest is history. Since then we’ve lived in San Francisco, and then currently now in New York. Our first trip together was Paris where we completely fell in love with the city.

The foundational theme of our relationship is constant support of each other’s creative growth and seeking new experiences together. This has taken us around the word, several career pivots, and a deep bond. 

Eiffel Tower Views

These Eiffel Tower Views from the brides suite are incredible, so we made great photographs of the bride after she was ready on her terrace.

The First Look

With so many options around the Shangri-la for portraits and a first look, they chose the grand stair case as the location for the first time they see eachother as a bride and groom.

Portraits in Paris

We left the Shangri-la for a couple of hours to take portraits of the bride and groom around Paris before their ceremony. This is always recommended, as this way you can fully enjoy a cocktail hour with your guests without needing to be pulled away for your bride and groom portraits.

Wedding Reception with Iconic Floral Installations

Luxe Paris event did an incredible job with the reception design. The floral installations were the talk of the evening. With the grand salon ballroom as a backdrop the whole look was just jaw-dropping.

Sunset Portraits on the Shangri-la Terrace

We went up to the terrace as the sunset and the Eiffel Tower lit up for some portraits and a sweet moment for the couple to enjoy the spectacle.
