Daniel and Justine, a couple from Boston, Massachusetts, met in April 2019. Sharing a passion for travel, food, and horror movies, they describe themselves as best friends. In April 2024, they celebrated their love by eloping to Paris.

The Highlights
Editorial and romantic vibes only
Justine: "The idea of eloping was something we wanted to do, but choosing Paris as the destination was an impulsive and exciting decision."
The couple wanted to have a very modern, editorial elopement. Our challenge was to help Justine and Daniel with posing and make the day romantic yet candid.
The couple's story begins here.
Justine is a dreamer, so she envisioned a very romantic yet subtle elegant feel. Danny is a more low-key, relaxed type of guy. The couple wanted to combine these personalities into their vision.
Justine's dress is the Elise by House of CB. Perfect fit for Paris, the city of love.
"Classic black and white is my color palette," said Justine.

the trocadero photoshoot
Justine wanted candid shots of the two of them looking lovingly or playfully at one another in front of a beautiful architectural background. And that is what Tim captured.
The weather in April is mild and nice, so the couple picked Tuileries Garden and enjoyed the scenery. It was the perfect place—just for them.
Justine and Daniel,
thank you!
Paris is made for street photography and romantic shots. Just look at the buildings, every window, and car that celebrated with us. Wow, what a day. Thank you, J&D, for booking us. Wishing you endless happiness and love!
Behind the Scenes: From the Team
It was a truly amazing day to plan and capture. Justine and Daniel envisioned a final result that was editorial and very modern. I hope we nailed it!

It was spring, the season of peonies. Justine asked for an classic all-white peony bouquet—what could be more perfect for April?
Helen: communication and flowers
Justine is an angel! She chose a modern updo and glam makeup, and she looked absolutely stunning. What a gorgeous bride!

It was an April elopement. We started early. Makeup was scheduled at 4:00 AM, and we started taking photos at Trocadéro at 6:40 AM. That's how we avoided people around the couple.
Justine and Daniel were now a family. They loved saying "I do" and were endlessly in love.
Cheers to us!
"It was the best decision we could have made," thought Justine immediately when the day came.

"They have been together for over four years and are looking forward to sealing the deal and growing as parents, welcoming their first child together in August."
The beautiful ceremony for Justine and Daniel began. The champagne was non alcoholic.
"100/10 recommend!" Daniel said, happy about the decision to have the ceremony just for them.
For the last location, we went to the Louvre gallery—a perfect spot for candid photos.
