How to Arrange Your Pre Wedding in Paris
Before I share my point story than let me give you with some basic information about preparing your pre wedding photo shoot in Paris.
I work with my wife Nina as a husband-wife photographer team for over than a decades, we specialize in destination wedding photography so that’s why we still live in Indonesia but we travel to Bali, Maldives, and Hong Kong to document a wedding for the most gorgeous couple on earth.
Book Your Destination Wedding Photographer
World is so big so you may ask any photographer that suit on your need but one of the most important thing is make sure you know their style and determine how he works so far.
As a husband-wife photographer team, my and my wife serve our recent couple in more personal so we don’t take too many couple to be served every months. We prefer to know each of them and grow our relationship beyond of professional and client.
I serve less than 20 couple per year and focusing on destination wedding and engagement, so here I had various couple that regularly ask me to fly to some places that they want. Today I already flew to Hong Kong, Bali, Singapore, Maldives, and Malaysia and have fun with my couple as well.
Bride wearing simple red dress above was asking me to fly to Maldives and having an engagement photo shoot in one of 5 star luxury hotel called Lux* Maldives
Get Your Flight Ticket Immediately
I used to encourage my couple to buy their international flight ticket 3 to 4 months before the date cause it will help us to get the best deal from the airlines. During past few years I always browse the best deal of ticket with jetradar, it has a good feature that can be comparing between so many platform and let us get the best rate.
Book Your Hotel in a Good Locations
Having a hotel in Paris is challenging even some couple want to stay in a hotel which coming in a magnificent view of Eiffel. It mush be way expensive than others but you can see the beauty of the tower right from your window’s room, excellent right!
No matter where you go, you always can browse and book your hotels with Booking.com cause this platform allow us to use some useful features such as pay later or free cancellation fee which is good if we want to change the hotel related to itinerary or some other problems.
Let me share to you some great hotels in Paris that coming with a great view:
Make Sure You Get Your Travel Insurance
When I was in Maldives for pre wedding of Denise and Joel I got a terrible chicken pox that hurt me so much during the photo shoot. Even lately my photos on it become as award winning pictures but I got painful enough when taking underwater scene.
I go to the doctor when I have to pay over than $150 for simple disease that cost only $10 in my hometown so today I really care enough with insurance to protect me and my couple who travel for photo shooting.
Lately I found superb online travel insurance that recommended by so many travel and leisure blog called WorldNomads. The good thing is they allows to pay an insurance that we need only for several days that we use for travel, so if you simply stay 2 days in overseas than your insurance could be cheaper than you stay for a week.
How to Avoid People Crowd during Pre Wedding
If you taking a pre wedding photo shoot in Paris during summer than this is the tips:
- Back in June 2018 when sun is rising at 05.51 than sunset at 21.45, so…..
- If you wanna take photo shoot around Eiffel or somewhere which belong to tourist attraction so I highly suggest you to arrive in Eiffel at 5.30 and you can do photo shoot in comfort
- As I said before that sunset will be at 21.45 than if you want to take a photo shoot in Louvre with a sparkling light than go there around 23.00 and your photo shoot will be done within 40 minutes
- Once you see people crowd than move your location into another spots that NOT belong to tourist attraction
What you see above is when Nina do her make up service at 4 am since we want to have sunrise photo shoot. There you see my bride, Denise is just wake up few minutes ago and Nina ask her to stay on the bed for retouching.
What to Bring on Your Photo Shoot
If you book our destination pre wedding photo shoot than Nina my wife already provide make up and hair do services. So all you need to consider are several things such as:
