Parc Monceau proved a beautiful setting for this wedding party's photo session. I think the bridesmaids' gowns might have outshown the bride's.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Hi Virginia,
Lovely background for the wedding photographs. I think we all love to see a wedding.
Many thanks for visiting me today and I hope you are having a lovely week
Hugs
Carolyn
What a gorgeous venue for a wedding! - I love that park - makes me think of Claude Monet's painting in that romantic garden!
Beautiful - a well planned wedding photo venue!!
They just know how special it is to get married in Paris!
Shane :)
Oh, at first glance I thought this was a vintage photo, when I looked at the guests on the left. But the bride looks modern! Absolutely gorgeous!
Those bridesmaids' dresses are quite eye catching. The sheer capelets are a lovely touch. It's a beautiful scene, V!
Belle photo en noir et blanc , joli cliché!
Molto bella l'ambientazione che riporta indietro nel tempo...
So many sights to see in PARIS! Anita
I knew immediately the location as the tree, the pond, and the columns are quite distinctive, but like BlueFruit thought that this was a vintage shot... glad you were the "other" wedding photographer that day!
I think the choice of B&W here was the impact !
Love the B/W here .. cant make out the bride's gown so I'll take your word for it!
Oh they all look so gorgeous, what a perfect background for wedding photos's. When they're old and grey (?) they'll be able to look back at this gorgeous scene. How do you make your final decision on whether you'll go colour or B&W Virginia?
Perth,
I usually always choose BW for portraits because it places the focus on the person. Here I chose it because some of the guests had on bright colors that were distracting I thought.

Parc Monceau is a great place for anything.
It is a beautiful scene, as your blogging buddies have all said. I like sneaking photos of wedding parties, but my daughter tells me it is creepy. What does she know? I think people at weddings look their best and usually are happy.
I love coming across wedding while in France....this one is actually in one of my favorite parks in Paris....Park Monceau...sigh!!!!
A special day with this special b&w photo. Nice one
