A Paris Elopement

What a way to start off any Monday, with these lovely pictures from an exquisite Paris elopement!  Paris is the city of love, so it's no wonder this NYC couple chose it to say their I Dos.  They exchanged vows at the Chapelle Expiatoire, and wandered around the city visiting the couples favorite places for pictures.  Imagine a stroll down the Seine with your honey after getting married, how romantic!  Happy Monday!

Pink Parisian Wedding

Ever since our anniversary trip to Paris 2 years ago, I find myself missing Paris a little more each day.  Maybe it's the atmosphere, or the lovely people, but Paris will always have a soft spot in my heart.  Love this pink Parisian wedding from that dress to the stunning photos there's so much to love.  The intimate ceremony held in a small park across the street from the Rodin Museum.  Love that Holly & Scott embraced the lock tradition, we saw so many of them when we were walking the streets of Paris.  Love all of the soft romance that their wedding exudes.

the gardens at Versailles- this picture doesn't do its size or beauty any justice

And then there was the food.....crepes, baguettes, cheese or fromage, butter, macaroons, Madeline cookies, croissants..... these are a few of my favorite things...

baguettes and cheese, a staple in our picnics

and I'm in heaven

the best falafels I've ever had- the Latin Quarter

I wish that we were still sitting at a cafe enjoying our Madeline cookies and cafe creme.  But all good things must come to an end, clearly as I'm sitting here at work.  Paris was amazing, if you're even remotely thinking of going, I would highly recommend it.  It truly is the "City of Light" ,everything from the atmosphere, to the food, and the people!  Some highlights from our trip.
