which DAY OF THE WEEK TO CHOOSE

To read before sending the deposit

We work only during sunrise, early morning. We plan all our elopements and photoshoots earliest possible to have the best light and avoid crowds. We do not accept bookings for afternoon, day, evening, or night events. 

The best days to book: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. Less traffic and crowds in Paris. We also recommend Saturdays, if you have availability.

We never book Sundays. Paris goes car-free every Sunday. Since Autumn 2021 streets, neighborhoods, and entire arrondissements are open for pedestrians only on Sundays. Paris has more and more of our photoshoot areas prohibited to vehicles. Just not possible to drive around.

Other than that, there is no difference. All days of the week are good. No difference between Monday and Friday, so choose the day that works best for you.

National holidays like Easter or Christmas are totally fine. We do not charge extra if the elopement is planned for the weekend or holiday.

But what we do not book are days with military parades, like for example Bastille Day military parade. The whole city is closed. So we do not book:
X May 8
X July 13 and 14
 X We do not book New Year's Eve. From December 30 to January 2.

For the photo shoot, there is no difference between the days of the week. If the date is available, we will make it work. Beautiful photos can be taken on any day, as long as it is early morning.

Many couples ask us, "What is the best day ever with no people and no traffic?" Unfortunately, Paris is one of the most popular cities in the world, so that’s simply not realistic. Crowds might be present at certain places all the time. But no worries, we edit everyone out.

"It’s something when a couple wants to dive into our knowledge base and is ready to plan their elopement with us. I like that! Hi, how are you doing today?"
