Bride getting ready for her wedding at Ritz Paris

I have an editorial and documentary style, which means I love to direct the bride into gorgeous flattering poses whilst also photographing the natural moments in between. The bride brought her wedding invites along so that I could photograph them in the style of her wedding photographs so that she could add them to her wedding album. It’s always great to capture a photograph of your bridal accessories too.

Groom Portraits

We did some great groom portraits and last touches of getting ready photographs then met up with his groomsmen to get some portraits of the groom and his groomsmen.

CEREMONY IN THE GARDEN COURTYARD AT RITZ PARIS

The wedding ceremony in the garden at the Ritz Paris was undoubtedly a luxurious and enchanting affair. The bride walked down a lush garden aisle adorned with fragrant flowers and greenery, with the gentle sounds of a fountain in the background. The garden at the Ritz Paris is known for its exquisite landscaping and picturesque setting, providing a romantic backdrop for exchanging vows.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed champagne and hors d’oeuvres as they mingled and congratulated the newlyweds amidst the beauty of the garden. We then did the bride and groom portraits around Ritz Paris. The couple didn’t want to leave the wedding venue on their wedding day.

THE RECEPTION DINNER

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued indoors in one of the Ritz Paris’s elegant reception spaces, Salon d’été where guests would be treated to a sumptuous meal and the speeches filled the room with tears and laughter.

Cutting the Cake

Dancers: Jadore la vie cabaret

This couple hired professional dancers to add to the entertainment for the evening after the wedding meal. They were truly a fun and entertaining spectacle. The dancers took the bride and groom followed by all of their guests from the dining room to the dancing party room downstairs. This made for great photographs. I also asked the dancers to remain on the stairs so the guests could pose for photos in between them. They loved it.

I Love to find a moment during a wedding to capture lovely portraits of your guests

Dance Performances & First Dances

After the couple’s first dance, the dancers performed a dance act for everyone then motivated all the guests to get on to the dancefloor and dance late into the night.

LA HORA LOCA!!!

“La Hora Loca,” which translates to “The Crazy Hour” in Spanish, is a lively and energetic tradition incorporated into wedding parties like this one. It’s a vibrant and festive celebration designed to inject a burst of energy into the reception and get everyone on the dance floor. Champagne was passed around from the bottle, confetti canons were set off, music was loud and energizing. It was so much fun and made for the best party photos.
