Paris 8th arrondissement
Wedding Photographer Paris 8th
The Paris of the palace hotels, from the Concorde to the parc Monceau
The 8th holds the densest concentration of palace hotels in the capital. It is the Paris of assumed grandeur — and the arrondissement where the largest weddings in the city tend to happen.
The character of the 8th
Between the Concorde, the Champs-Élysées and the Triangle d’or, the great houses sit a few streets apart: the Crillon, the Bristol, the Plaza Athénée, the Royal Monceau. Each has a signature, and none of them needs a photographer to underline it.
The recently restored Hôtel de la Marine opens its salons and its loggia onto the Concorde, and the Madeleine offers a colonnade of rare solemnity for a ceremony exit.
Where weddings happen in the 8th
The palaces of the 8th, the Hôtel de la Marine, the Madeleine, and the parc Monceau — a pocket of greenery with colonnades and a bridge, right in the middle of the district — for the couple session. The mairie du 8e is minutes from all of them.
How I photograph here
Editorial and documentary. In the luxury of the 8th, that approach brings the accuracy and the emotion a beautiful address cannot supply on its own.
Coverage runs eight to fourteen hours and starts at €2,900. See the investment.
