Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Isn't the expression on the little boy's face adorable? And it's sweet that the groom is holding the bride's flowers, while she tries to keep her wrap from blowing away in the wind.
Posing for the photographer.

This bride and groom are waiting to enter the park behind Notre Dame, as a group of schoolchildren depart, clearly thrilled to see the happy couple. The children shout compliments and congratulations as they exit the gate. Click photos to view detail.
Check back this weekend for more photos.
Tara, isn't the bridge beautiful!? I enjoy just relishing your blog.

All those little girls are adorable! Way better than some chubby bridemaids in ugly dresses. LOL!

How lovely and fun - I love how patiently and good-naturedly the wedding couple are, while waiting for all the schoolchildren to pass through. That seems like a good omen for their future family!

These photographs are phenomenal! To catch the bride and groom is one thing, but then to capture the expressions of those that witnessed the brides and grooms... amazing!
; ) Wow!
PS: Great job on the dresses- no blow out! Great job!

Tara,
Lovely photos! Reminds me of my trip to Paris in
Sept. last year. I stood right in that very spot looking
out over the Seine listening to a man playing the
accordian!!! Paris, ahhhh, the city of romance!!!

I love seeing brides!
I rarely see a wedding party in the great outdoors. (Well, maybe if I happen upon them by accident in a public garden while they are having their professional wedding photos taken. But for the most part, a bride outside is a rare sight around these parts.)
When we were in France in 2006 and 2007, I saw all manner of brides everywhere we went. I took photos of them all! It just makes me happy seeing a bride and her groom.

Beautiful! I love the children in all of these. They just amplify the joyous energy, don't they? Too, I love the juxtaposition of the attendant's burgundy dresses against the blue of the sky. Tres chic;)
