Laughing, we dare each other
to jump into the crystal-clear fountains
and gaze at the bright blue sky
obstructed only by the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
I gently pull her against me
and close the distance between us,
our lips speaking more than the most beautiful poems
and our love as infinite as the skies stretching above us.
"City of Love" - Grey
In the heart of the City of Love, under the open sky and along the tranquil waters of the Seine River, Anna and Richard embarked on a journey that would forever intertwine their lives. Their love story unfolded against the backdrop of an enchanting outdoor wedding in Paris, an authentic celebration of love, laughter, and the promise of a beautiful future. As their Paris wedding videographer, I had the extraordinary privilege of preserving every cherished moment of their Seine-side wedding.

Richard’s introduction to Paris was serendipitous—a journey that would change his life forever. Through a mutual friend who had already made Paris his home, he discovered the city’s enchanting beauty. Little did he know that his adventure would lead him to Anna, a Parisian with a deep love for her city and a passion for breathwork—a practice that guides individuals on a path to nervous system regulation and emotional healing.
Anna and Richard’s choice of Paris as their wedding destination was a testament to the city’s timeless allure and romantic ambiance. From the iconic Seine River to the cobblestone streets of Montmartre, Paris provided an enchanting canvas for their love story to unfold. Though their love story began in Paris, Anna and Richard are now based in the vibrant city of London, where they continue to write the chapters of their life together. Their journey, which started with a chance encounter in the City of Light, has taken them on an adventure that knows no bounds.
Their day began with moments of anticipation and joy as they prepared for their outdoor ceremony. Anna, a vision of elegance in her wedding attire, radiated love and happiness in the iconic hotel Le Cheval Blanc in the center of Paris. With unique views of the Pont Neuf and the Eiffel Tower from her Suite, she always kept an eye on the rainy weather, crossing her fingers for the ceremony.
Their wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions and intensity. As their Paris wedding videographer, I witnessed the moments of stress that bubbled up during the day. Especially due to the rainy weather that could compromise the outdoor wedding ceremony. Yet, it was during these intense times that Anna’s expertise in breathwork shone through. Her calming presence and the practice of intentional breathing became their anchor, helping them navigate the waves of emotion.
Anna and Richard chose to exchange their vows in a deeply personal way. Their ceremony, set against the backdrop of the Seine’s gently flowing waters, was an ode to their unique love story. What made it even more special was the officiation by one of their closest friends, infusing the ceremony with an intimacy that touched every heart present.
As with any outdoor event, the weather posed a momentary challenge. Initially, rain clouds threatened to cast a shadow over the day, causing a ripple of concern among the couple and their guests. The start of the ceremony had to be postponed briefly, but as fate would have it, the rain ceased, and the clouds parted, revealing a clear sky. A perfect metaphor for their relationship—weathering the storm and emerging stronger and brighter.
Anna and Richard’s outdoor wedding in Paris was a global affair, with guests from all corners of the world coming together to celebrate their love. The wedding party aboard “L’ Éxcellence” was nothing short of spectacular. With the backdrop of Parisian landmarks along the Seine, guests danced the night away, creating unforgettable memories.
Throughout the day, the wedding exuded positive vibes and boundless energy. The love and joy that Anna and Richard shared with their guests were palpable. It was a celebration of love that transcended borders, a testament to the power of love to bring people together.
