Paris Wedding Photographer – Suzy Anderson

Paris, with its iconic landmarks, charming streets, and timeless elegance, is the perfect backdrop for your wedding day. While I’m based in North Carolina, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing Paris for my own destination wedding, and it instantly became one of my favorite places in the world. Though I haven’t yet photographed a wedding there, I’m eager to bring the magic of Paris to life in your photos—whether it’s the soft glow of the Eiffel Tower at sunset or the intimate moments shared along the Seine.

Why Paris is the Perfect Wedding Destination

Paris offers more than just beauty—it's the epitome of romance, steeped in history and charm. From the chic streets of Le Marais to the iconic gardens of Versailles, Paris sets the stage for a celebration full of love and unforgettable moments.

Your wedding day deserves to be documented in a way that mirrors the city’s elegance and charm. My approach combines candid, natural moments with an editorial style, creating timeless images that reflect both your love story and the beauty of the city around you.

My Approach to Capturing Your Paris Wedding

Blending Film and Digital Photography

I use a unique mix of analog film and digital photography to create images that are both timeless and contemporary. The soft, nostalgic feel of film and the crisp precision of digital photography come together to capture your day in a way that feels personal, romantic, and refined.

Elegant, Candid Moments with a Polished Touch

On your wedding day, I focus on capturing real, unscripted moments, allowing you to be fully immersed in the day. During portraits, I’ll guide you through relaxed, natural poses that highlight your connection while incorporating the beauty of Paris into every frame.

A Seamless Experience from Start to Finish

Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but I’m here to ensure the photography side is effortless. From coordinating with your planner to managing the timeline, I work behind the scenes to allow you to fully enjoy your day. You can trust me to capture your wedding day with the care and attention it
