Marco our excellent WeddingLight videographer in sweet Paris returned from some well deserved vacations in Cuba. I Do Love Cuba, have been there on three occasions over the years. The Cigars, the music, the rhum and the beach …. and great people! I wanted to share Marco’s video with everyone. It is not wedding related for a change but it is a great country, summer vacations are almost on the agenda and Marco is very talented. Marco was Born in Thailand, raised in Africa and Germany. He has now established his basecamp in Paris. Passionate about visual media, still and moving images. He has shot a number of short movies, music videos and commercials. He loves doing wedding videos for the challenges it represents : creativity, reactivity and last but not least the human interactions with the couples. “It is fun!” he says…

Parisian elopement – All the way from Caracas Venezuela, Mayet and Jose flew to Paris to celebrate their intimate wedding with close families on saturday. If I were a girl, pink would certainly be my favorite color and I do love a happy crowd. It is a shame we did not have much time, I would have loved to brush up my spanish. Really cool afternoon and the priest from the ” Iglesia Espanola ” rue de la pompe in the 16th is a real sweet heart!
Below a little selection from the wedding day with some fun, stylish and ” not posed, contrived or set up images “. Photographs are so much more than simple images; they are keepsakes, gentle reminders of a special moment in time. We are dedicated to capturing those moments in a UNIQUE manner. We specialize in destination wedding photography and video coverage, intimate portraits, and boudoir photography. We love what we do, and we’re willing to travel the world for it. Your wedding is one of the most important day of your life, and we want to help you remember every part of it with some unforgettable images. We have the eye, skill and experience and again we LOVE what we do.

Charlie and James, a few natural & classic portraits taken at the Chateau de la Couronne on their wedding day. What can I say ! It was very nice; lots of laughters, happy friends and sweet families. Everyone was just wonderful and it was a pleasure to be part of this beautiful wedding.
And of course, the sun was out … The Dordogne region of south-west France is one of the most beautiful and popular destinations in the country. Visit this beautiful region of France and discover the chateaux, beautiful medieval towns and villages, unspoiled countryside and prehistoric caves. Not to forget the food, foie gras a GO-GO, Magret de canard and so on does open my appetite! Chateau Raysse is another one of the medieval castel in the region where i have photographed a few weddings in the past. I highly recommend it !

WeddingLight produced an elopement video for Sofia & Bert who married in Paris a few days ago. The super 8mm film is being processed at the lab. We are patiently waiting its return to insert some last visuals to the video. I couldn’t help uploading a first version which i will be sending to Sofia today for approval. Sofia and Bert picked Leonard Cohen ” Dance me to the end of Love ” for the soundtrack. Actually one of my favorite song! It reminds me of the Chelsea hotel in NYC where Leonard Cohen hung out in the 80′s and myself in the 90′s as well as Dominique Isserman his long time lover and one of my favorite photographer who directed so many of his video clips.
Below a thank you note for the team that we have just received from Sofia and Bert now on vacation in the south of France.

Sofia and her husband celebrated their union in Paris at the Chapel Expiatoire yesterday. They had contacted us via WeddingLight Events over a year ago to photograph their wedding celebration. And finally the big day was yesterday, beautiful as planned without rain when the forecast announced a storm. Gods must have been with us, the clouds cleared out and the sun came through for the whole celebration. Enjoy one of the first photographs of the day above, with our athletic groom running back to fetch the forgotten bouquet of the bride, followed by some classics & happy wedding photographs all the way down to the last image taken with a very elegant waiter from ” les Deux Magots ” in St Germain.
Congratulation to the both of them – another happy wedding in Paris !

The chateau de la Bourdaisière near Tours in the Loire vallée was the grand decor for the destination wedding of Shanon and Frederic.

We photographed the wedding of Sharon and Fred a little while back in the Loire vallee region of France. Sharon had asked us to retouch a selection of her wedding photographs. The theme was château-chic. The colors gold, pink and ivory. By the way, the event was beautifully orchestrated. The day started with a little morning drizzle and finished very late with the most amazing fireworks over the Loire Vallée.
Here is a little selection of the many beautiful images that we shot during that day.

With spring time in Paris comes renewed happiness! It’s the city of light, the city of romance… There’s a certain “je ne sais quoi” about Paris that makes it irresistible. If you’re a first-timer, you’ll hit all the sights – and there are plenty of them. The Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame and many others are iconic images you’ll want to see in the flesh. But if you’re a repeat visitor, then take time to relax at a pavement café or browse the famous flea market. Wander the broad boulevards, shop til you drop and take a dinner cruise on the Seine.
If you are with your loved one, you might want to grasp the opportunity of a photo session with WeddingLight & beautiful Paris in the background. Celebrate the moment & the love for your partner with something special. We have just updated our ” Couple in love ” photo session page on WeddingLight website.
It is fun & we love going out with couple in the streets of the capital. Here are some of our recent work.

We have definitely entered the most beautiful time of the year here in Paris where the days are getting longer, the weather warmer, terraces of cafes packed with beautiful people. Now is the time to finally turn a page on a very long winter … So yesterday we wandered around place de la Concorde as well as jardin des Tuileries, rue de Rivoli, the national French opera, the river seine, bridges and the Louvres for a “Lovers photo shoot” with Jihan & Haireez from Singapore. Jihan was wearing a gorgeous dress from ” French connection ” with some killer Louboutin classics. Haireez was a “natural”, full of charm and wit. I am still editing the photographs as we have a very large selection to choose from. Everything came together so perfectly. Below a preview of yesterdays portrait session in beautiful Paris with another perfect match from WeddingLight.
Lots of fun!
