A Romantic Couple Session in Montmartre, Paris
MARGAUX + JEAN
As a photographer, I had been dreaming of photographing a couple session at sunset in Montmartre. With its romantic streets, artists, and village-like atmosphere in the heart of Paris, it felt like the perfect setting. When I visited Paris in the spring, Margaux and Jean volunteered to bring the idea to life, and the result was even better than I had imagined.
A ROMANTIC COUPLE SESSION IN MONTMARTRE
We took inspiration from a wedding, but kept everything relaxed and effortless. A small colorful bouquet from a local florist, a green suit and T-shirt for Jean, and a flowing white top with cream trousers, later paired with a blazer as a short dress, for Margaux. The idea was to create something soft, simple and laid-back, as if the two of them had just said “I do” at city hall and were spending the evening together in a neighborhood they love. Rather than photographing around the Sacré-Cœur, I wanted to explore the quieter streets of Montmartre: walking past artists’ studios, beautiful façades and little corners of the neighborhood, while making the most of the warm golden light at the end of the day.
Combined with the grainy, film-inspired editing I was experimenting with at the time, this session quickly became one of my favorites.
