TOM & LOLITA’S PARIS ELOPEMENT: AN EDITORIAL LOVE STORY IN THE CITY OF LOVE
Paris needs no introduction. It’s the city of love, art, fashion, cinema - and for Tom & Lolita, it became the setting for one of the most romantic elopements imaginable. Photographing their elopement in Paris was everything a destination love story should be: intimate, cinematic, emotional, and effortlessly stylish. Truly, a dream.
There’s something undeniably magical about eloping in Paris. The streets feel alive with history, every corner holds beauty, and romance feels woven into the air itself. From the elegant Haussmann buildings to the quiet moments along the Seine, the city offers endless inspiration. It’s impossible not to lean into the romance - and yes, there were very strong Emily in Paris vibes throughout the day.
Tom & Lolita embraced Paris fully. Their elopement wasn’t about a packed schedule or rigid plans - it was about wandering, connecting, and letting the city guide us. We explored some of Paris’ most iconic landmarks, including views of the Eiffel Tower, hidden staircases, bridges along the Seine, and elegant architectural backdrops that felt timeless and cinematic.
Their elopement was captured using a mix of digital photography and 35mm film, shot on Kodak Portra 400. Film felt like the perfect medium for Paris - soft, romantic, and nostalgic, adding an editorial depth that elevated the entire story. The combination of film and digital allowed me to capture both the spontaneity of the city and the quiet, intimate moments between them.
What I love most about destination elopements is the freedom they allow. There’s no pressure, no expectations - just two people choosing each other in a place that feels meaningful to them. Tom & Lolita moved through Paris with ease, confidence, and connection, creating moments that felt completely natural. As a photographer, that trust and openness is everything.
This elopement reinforced something I know deep down: destination elopements are exactly where I thrive. Storytelling, travel, emotion, editorial aesthetics - this is where all the pieces come together. If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding or elopement abroad, in a city that makes your heart beat faster, I’m your person. I don’t just document it - I live it with you.
Tom & Lolita’s Paris elopement was romantic, cinematic, and unforgettable - proof that sometimes, all you need is love, a city like Paris, and the courage to do things your own way.
