A Winter Romantic Paris Engagement.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We have had a wonderful time with our clients at their Paris romantic winter engagement, on the last day of 2023! The champ de Mars with the Eiffel tower in the background was just the perfect setting. They both look so happy in the photos of their Paris engagement. It is always such a blessing to share our clients happiness with our Paris gourmet picnics.

As we celebrate the New Year, let’s spare a thought for those in conflict-ridden areas, especially the Palestinians & Ukraine. Their plight is not just a distant issue but a global concern that requires our attention and action.

We pray for a year that brings progress towards peace in Palestine, Ukraine and other conflict zones, fostering a world where every individual’s rights and dignity are respected.

Hoping for a transformative 2024 where global efforts towards peace and justice are strengthened. Let’s envision a future where empathy and understanding triumph over conflict and despair.

Wishing you all a New Year filled with peace, compassion, and positive change.

Paris romantic winter engagement

A Paris romantic winter engagement.

There is no real season for a Paris engagement photo session and a traditional gourmet picnic. We had the great pleasure to produce a Paris romantic winter engagement just recently for our clients. Our clients flew all the way from San Francisco. First time in Paris, first time in France for both of them.

Ian reached out to us with the idea of proposing to his girlfriend while staying in Paris. We organized our winter gourmet deco picnic at the Eiffel Tower for them.

Because of the winter season, we may ask you to be a little flexible with time and schedule for your event. We would be in touch the day before to finalize all of the little details together. In case of a rainy forecast during the day, we might suggest to wait a little while or postpone to the next day if possible. We can also set up your picnic under one of the shelter at the champ de Mars.

Paris proposal with a gourmet picnic.

We do propose a winter Picnic menu for the winter season. Our winter deco picnic comes with a traditional baguette, a hot vegetable soup, a selection of cheeses, a selection of cold meats, a vegetable quiche, seasonal salad, fruits and chocolates.

This is how it goes!

We make the process very easy. Our gourmet picnic would be set up and ready to enjoy when you arrive at the choosen location. It is usually best to propose when you arrive to the picnic set once settled.

Our photographer would take your surprise proposal photos from the distance. He would then introduce himself and take a few more photographs at the picnic site during the first half hour. You can then crack open the bottle of champagne & enjoy your Paris picnic with your loved one.

You would usually have an hour and a half to enjoy your gourmet picnic. Once you finish your lunch, our photographer can take you around the Eiffel Tower for another half hour. Engagement packages offer different photography lengths from a mini photo session to two hours of professional photography around Paris.

A unique Parisian experience.

Ian and Jay had their engagement photographed when they arrived at the champ de Mars. Following their lunch hour, our photographer took them around the Eiffel tower for the remaining 1/2 hour of photography.

We organised another hour of photography at the Louvre, rue de Rivoli and the gardens of the palais Royal. My favorite location for engagement photos although Paris is simply gorgeous all over.

Engaged at the Luxembourg gardens.

Luxembourg Gardens Engagement.

Fabulous Luxembourg gardens engagement with Tej and Erica this past week end in Paris. Paris is a beautiful city all year long and specially in the fall. The days are simply gorgeous with high temperatures at the moment still the leaves are turning gold already, the light is crisp. The days are also getting a little shorter. We are saying goodbye to a glorious summer season and are now welcoming the autumn with all of its beauty in the city.

We organised a gourmet picnic at the Luxembourg gardens for Tej. The idea was that he proposes to his girlfriend while enjoying our deco picnic at the park. Because weekend can get a little busy at the moment, we decided to have the picnic ready by 12h. We set it up at one of the two lawns that are accessible to the public. The Luxembour garden is certainly the perfect spot for a proposal, overlooking the main fountain and the senat in the background.

For the one of you who have not been to Paris yet, the Luxembourg garden is located in the 6th arrondissement. The garden is steps away from the historical Sorbonne university, as well as the Paris Jazz clubs and art cinemas of Saint Germain des Près. The parc is also a few minutes walk from the seine river and walking distance to “les deux Magots” and the “café de Flore”. Both cafés are a literally institution of the boulevard Saint Germain.

Tej proposed to Erica when they arrived at the picnic site. Olivier photographed their proposal discreetly from the distance. He then introduced himself and took a few more photographs at the picnic site. Tej and Erica had one hour and a half to enjoy their lunch.

There are also 1001 ways to propose while visiting Paris. A public park, the river seine, the Eiffel tower, the terrace of a cafe, a local restaurant are among the many picturesque vista that you might consider for a successful engagement in the city.

May we suggest the Luxembourg gardens for your engagement? It is located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It is also referred to as the “Jardin du Sénat”. Designed in 1612 by Marie de Medici, it covers 26 hectares in central Paris.

Lets propose in the heart of Saint Germain des Près, in the latin quater at one of the most beautiful park in Paris. Doesn’t that sound like a smashing idea?

Our clients were staying in a lovely boutique hotel on the edge of the Luxembourg gardens. They had great memories of previous Paris trip, wandering the streets of Saint Germain. We thought the gardens of the Luxembourg would be the perfect setting for their engagement in Paris. And indeed it was just perfect!

A gourmet picnic at the Luxembourg gardens.

So our client decided on a gourmet picnic with our deco setting at the Luxembourg to surprise his partner. We had their gourmet picnic ready by 12h00, a little earlier then usual. The park can get a little busy in the afternoon. There are only that many lawns at the garden where you can rest over lunch hour. Parisian often gather on the lawn to catch up with friends, do their week end exercise and chill with a good book. 12h was the perfect timing.

Our deco picnic was set up in the middle of the main lawn overlooking the senat in the background. The deco included a set of cushions, a vintage picnic blanket, a couple of traditional wicker baskets one of which hosting a silver bucket of iced champagne. We also included vintage umberllas over both baskets to shed the food. On the blanket laid a hand written menu with some candles.

A real classic French style traditional gourmet picnic set up.
