Montmartre was the cradle of bohemian life in Paris. Its alleys are winding and you can always feel the soul of artists who were able to live there. Its Parisian cobblestones and this breathtaking view of Paris. When I have an engagement photoshoot in Montmartre, I like to come there early in the morning, take a walk in the streets to see the shops open one by one, the painters settle in the Place du Tertre. I loved imagining the artists of the past wandering, the head in their imagination to be inspired by the streets of Paris, the musicians playing the accordion and the seductive women of the cabarets sauvage. Then I finish the walk sit on a Parisian bench and see the city of Paris awaken. I love to overlook Paris and see its blue roofs merge with the blue of the sky which passes from night blue to azure blue of the day which gradually takes place. The smell of bakeries comes to me little by little, it's their appointment and I go to meet my young parent couple at the foot of the Sacré Coeur.
MA RENCONTRE
WITH A NEW PARENTS
It's a spring morning that I meet Claire and Philippe. They met in the village where they spend their summer holidays in Portugal. For Philippe Claire appeared as an evidence and was a lovely romance under the Portuguese blue sky. Happy parents of two children and after ten years of life together. When we become parents we only have eyes for our children, forgetting a little about our couple. This walk is an opportunity for these two to meet, find each other's arms and find themselves as a couple. This engagement photo shoot in Montmartre was an opportunity for these two to meet them again, to take the time to feel the other, to touch, to look at each other and to laugh together. A moment of complicity and intimacy, the moment to remember their story and the path traveled together. Time to rediscover and love each other again over the street of Montmartre.
THE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT
ATMOSPHERE IN MONTMARTRE
Montmartre and its narrow streets, its stairs and its breathtaking view of Paris. So many inspiring places for a couple shoot. How to choose from so many choices? Simply by deciding to take the time to get lost in the streets of Montmartre, discover new storefronts of old stores that have stood the test of time, café Parisian terraces and its servers, small intimate Parisian gardens, discover a new angle of the Sacré Coeur and be approached by street artists, their berets, their cigarettes in their mouth to scribble your face on the corner of their art sketchbook. It was a Parisian Sunday walk as I like them in Montmartre. In the arms of each other I had in front of me two parents happy to take time for them and meet again each other the time of a morning Sunday Parisian walk in Montmartre.
