Romantic Proposal Idea – Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France II Paris, France Couples Photographer

I love the romance and nerves that surround a proposal, even for me, there’s this excitement that makes you a little shaky and smile a lot more than usual (which is already a TON!). I loved J+E’s love story and hearing about the reasons why he fell in love with her… and the perfect place […]

I love the romance and nerves that surround a proposal, even for me, there’s this excitement that makes you a little shaky and smile a lot more than usual (which is already a TON!).

Ex: We are coming to Paris this spring at the end of March and it's our first time! We don't often travel so this is really big for us. I've been a Francophile since I was in my teens and have always dreamed of coming. I'd love this for my family and especially to be able to relive this special trip everyday on my walls with an art piece! My kids are 2, 5 and 9. Crossing my fingers and toes to be chosen!!
