Capturing Love in the City of Lights: Melody and Richard's 2 hours Parisian Photo Adventure

Paris, a city eternally entwined with amour, has witnessed countless couples immortalize their affection. Among them, Melody and Richard from Hong Kong chose to weave their narrative amidst this urban tapestry of love. Their 2-hour photo session in Paris is a tale of romance and iconic backdrops, a story I had the privilege to capture through my lens.

At sunrise in October, the Parisian horizon softly blushed as I met Melody and Richard at the end of October in 2023. The city at dawn was a canvas of tranquility, the Eiffel Tower silhouetted against a pastel sky. The air, cool and crisp, whispered of autumn, while the gentle morning light bathed everything in a golden serenity. This early light was perfect for capturing their love - soft, flattering, and filled with the promise of a new day. As they explored the quiet streets, the city seemed to awaken just for them, creating an intimate backdrop for photos that would forever echo the tender, hopeful beauty of that Parisian sunrise.

Our rendezvous was set at the historic Chaillot Palace. The day began with laughter as Melody and Richard, hand in hand, posed against the majestic Trocadero Place. The first photos echo their excitement—a perfect start to our session at sunrise.

Richard's gaze towards Melody, with the Tower guarding them, encapsulated a moment that was nothing short of magical.

The charm of Avenue de Camoëns beckoned us next. Thanks to "Emily in Paris", these quaint corners have become a bucket-list destination. Photos below captured Melody and Richard's candid moments, with their smiles as bright as the Parisian skyline.

Leaving behind the Avenue de Camoëns, we moved down to the Seine river.

The serene Seine riverbanks provided a tranquil setting, a stark contrast to the city's pulsating heart. Here, in the photos that I could capture for them, Melody and Richard's connection was palpable, the calm waters mirroring the depth of their bond.
