Wedding in Marrakech in the morning of a beautiful day which started at breakfast on the roof top of one of my favorite Riad: La Sultana– We decided to walk around the Souk for a little while before the getting ready begun in the afternoon. This was a great idea, beautiful way to start a wedding day in Marrakech, thanks to the mother of the bride! Our couple flew from Canada the previous day. First trip in Marrakech for the both of then. Cynthia, wanted an exotic destination for her wedding away from the Caribbean. They are in love with Paris, have a “pied a terre” in St Germain and thought as Morocco as a perfect destination. Well I photographed them in Paris last year for her anniversary and I think I might have given her a hint when I suggested she goes online and look at ” La Sultana ” where I photographed a wedding before. Marrakech is only three hours away from Paris and it is a little pocket of heaven. Sunshine all year, beautiful luxury Ryads where one gets pampered like a princess. The locals are ever so sweet, and the souk is a gold mine and a mesmerizing experience. In the center of the town, We walked through the ancient Djemma el Fna, the famous, open city square in Marrakech where dancers, fortune tellers, and storytellers put on a lively show at night. There are snake charmers, fire eaters, orange juice sellers, food stalls and the omnipresent touts. This square was once the site of public executions but it now a “must see” experience … specially at night when everyone gather, tourists and Moroccans alike to have a bit to eat outside. Love Marrakech, it is definitely one of my favorite destination for a great wedding. and if you are staying for over a week, the driving experience to the desert of the cost line to Essaouira is a wonderful experience.

Cassie and Eric married in the U.S, flew to Paris for their honeymoon and Cassie had the brillant idea to take her wedding gown along for their Paris post wedding photo session, Eric his Ralph Lauren tuxedo. She called me a few weeks before and was so exited at the idea of post wedding photo shoot in Paris. First time in the city of love for the both of them! They fitted perfectly in the decorum! So much in love, great story how the two of them met actually which I wont mention on the blog. It is great how quickly you get intimate with your clients being a wedding photographer. Actually I just received a new review from one of my dear clients from NYC this morning. The best thing is that after all those years, we do get in touch! And clients cme back with the kids later on in life for some family portraits. If you havent yet, you may want to read some of the reviews posted on our page. They are really sweet. Love my clients!
From the bride: ” I had contacted WeddingLight events in Paris so that they could arrange for our post wedding photo shoot I had been dreaming about for months. We had a big wedding at home with friends and family, although our wedding photos are gorgeous I wanted something special just for the two of us.
Paris was our first destination in our honeymoon trip. Neither of us had been to Europe before and it was a dream come true. Helene from WeddingLight events helped us plan the day from the boutique hotel we stayed at steps away from the Tuilerie garden to a wonderful diner at Hotel Costes. I decided to buy some white roses from the flower shop next to the hotel. My shoes were from Betsey Johnson. Eric wore his Dunhill tuxedo and I my wedding dress from Hailey Paige! Olivier our Paris wedding photographer took us everywhere and more! He was ever so sweet, patient and the photo shoot turned out to be a lot of fun. Crowd gathered, people cheered along the way as we were having our photos taken with the most beautiful backgrounds. Gorgeous memories of beautiful Paris with my hubby and I. ”
I picked them up at the Mayfair Hotel in the 1st arrondissement and then we went around town snapping shots at the Eiffel Tower, Trocadero square, Pont Alexandre III, as well as the Louvres, the Seine, ile St. Louis and Notre Dame. We had a lot of fun as you can see from the photos. I always make a point to ensure that my clients are having a good time being photographed. I think it is an important part of my work and it helps that I have a French sense of humor!
We had 4 hours of shooting and could not have asked for better weather. Everything was just perfect. My lovely couple, gorgeous Paris on a superb afternoon, all together a real blessing for a photographer. Private photo session in Paris are always a real excitement to do. Couples in Love, perfect settings regardless of the weather which can be a little difficult at times.
After spending a couple more days in Paris, Cassie and Eric’s next stop was Rome, Italy. What an incredible way to celebrate their wedding! What a treat!
Wishing Cassie and Eric a wonderful life together
– full of happiness and love!
