What You Can Expect from Your Photoshoot

Once you book, the process begins with clear instructions on where to meet—most often on Pont de Bir Hakeim, next to the horse statue, easily accessible via metro. The one-hour session gives plenty of time for a variety of shots, whether you’re looking for romantic portraits, family fun, or a surprise proposal. The photographers are described as warm and detail-oriented, which makes a noticeable difference—they help you relax in front of the camera, often turning what could feel stiff into natural, joyful images.

The Location and Its Charm

While the default meeting point is near the Bir Hakeim bridge with its iconic horse statue, the possibility to customize your shoot means you can choose a different setting—perhaps the Place du Trocadéro, renowned for its sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower, or somewhere more intimate like a quaint Paris street. The flexibility adds to the appeal, especially if you have a specific vision for your portraits.

The Photos and Delivery

You’ll receive at least 40 edited photos via an online gallery within a week of your shoot. The gallery’s private nature allows you to download, print, and share your images with ease.
