Tell us about the planning process! What did you do to make the event memorable, and how long did it take?

Paris has been my dream destination since I was a little girl. I had seen pictures of it on Instagram, heard stories about it, and watched movies that made me fall in love with the city. So, when my first wedding anniversary was approaching, I knew I had to celebrate it in Paris. I wanted it to be a memorable occasion that we would cherish forever.

What made you choose this particular photographer?

We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary in Europe, and I wanted to capture the memories of this unforgettable trip. I had been following The Paris Photographer on social media for a while and was impressed with the stunning couple of pictures they took. My friend even booked them for their engagement photoshoot, so I knew I had to hire them for our anniversary celebration.

What was the reasoning behind selecting the venue for your occasion?

We opted for a sophisticated and timeless black tie dress code. My husband Sean is accustomed to wearing suits, and I'm fond of elegant dresses and gowns when attending events. We wanted IIoana to portray us elegantly and refinedly, similar to the red carpet. Therefore, we aimed for a simple yet classy style, which she captured perfectly!

Which photo from the event stood out the most to you, and why?

There were so many fantastic photographs to choose from! It's challenging to select a single favorite. However, we are particularly fond of the images taken at the Eiffel Tower, as they are breathtaking and epic.
