The only thing more lovely than an elopement, is an elopement in the city of romance – especially when it looks like this. With an ethereal bride, the most exquisite calligraphy stationery and a sweetheart table adorned with a cascading floral centrepiece today’s shoot from Lara Lam is seriously swoon-worthy; with an air of magic and positively brimming with romance! So you will want to have your pinning finger ready before you go any further…..

Before diving into every beautiful image, a few words from florist and planner Luxe Paris Events…”We all know what they say about Spring time in Paris…What few know is how unpredictable the weather can be. Maybe it is bright and sunny or perhaps grey and gloomy but Paris is in fact always a good idea. When planning a Paris wedding or elopement in the early months of spring make sure you bring along an umbrella. While its practical it also provides a chic vintage inspired accessory that you might just actually need.

This shoot was all about sharing the experience of an elopement in Paris with your “better half;” from getting ready through the photo tour after your ceremony and taking a stroll through the city while dressed to your wedding day “nines.” No first looks, no planned photos just capturing your love but with the unmistakable style that is the city of love behind it all. This city is an explosion of history, beauty and above all else details…a simple lamp post, an old cathedral or a sculpture where you least expect it.”

*sigh* this makes me want to jet to Paris with Mr E…… As always, a big thankyou is owed to the lovely Lara Lam who captures everything with such an exquisite eye for detail. If you are as in awe of her fine art photography as I am then you will want to see this stunning heirloom bridal shoot and this chic San Francisco elopement inspiration! Be sure to pop and take a peek at Lara’s website www.laralam.com too, to see even more of her work, and don’t forget to follow her on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram for a daily dose of romance.

For more elopement take a peek at this blossom filled Spring elopement shoot, or how about this mid-century inspired charmer, and you absolutely must see this magical elopement shoot in Venice. Or for real elopements do take a look at this romantic lakeside beauty right here in New Zealand, on the spectacular South Island; and5 of the most perfect elopements EVER!
