Happy Thursday!

When we were in Paris a few weeks ago, I shared that we had professional pictures taken and y’all… I’m in love!!

I know what you’re thinking… “who hires a photographer in another country for pictures while on vacation?! Who has time for that?!” I mean, I think that when I see pictures like that from people’s vacations!  Here’s how it all happened…

A few months ago, I decided I wanted pictures taken by the Eiffel Tower but it took quite some time to convince the Mr.  I mean, we had two engagement sessions and another photography session after our wedding pictures (because of our terrible wedding photos- no joke!) so he figured he’d put his time in with those types of things 🙂  Clearly, he was wrong…

After chatting with April about what were musts in Paris while preparing for our trip, she immediately said pictures! She had them done when her and her husband went to Paris a few years ago and said they’re such cherished pictures.  As if I needed any convincing?! 😉 She gave me the contact information for L’amour De Paris and that was that. I reached out to see if it was even an option at that point since our trip was only a few weeks out – I told you it took a bit of convincing 😉

Thankfully, there was availability one morning (sunrise) and I made sure to scoop that date up immediately!  Did I mention that only date available was Logan’s birthday?! Whoops…

Of course, the morning of our pictures the sky opened up and we had quite a bit of rain… that stuck around through our pictures.  Somehow, we picked the one time it rained in Paris (on our trip) but thankfully our photographer, Doug was prepared and even helped make us look good through the rain and frizz.  Can you tell my priorities?!  Moving on…

We met with Doug the morning of our pictures at the Trocadero and he quickly made us feel very comfortable!  He was just so personable and easy to work with!

I am so glad that we did these pictures because I will truly cherish them forever.  London, Paris and Madeira was our first huge trip and one we will always remember.  Now, I just love that we have a piece of it to hang in our home.

Paris was our favorite city. There really is something magical about it and we both can’t wait to get back to discover more!

Paris, you have our hearts.
