Louvre Pyramid

The Louvre pyramid is the most iconic structure in the Louvre area and should definitely be part of your Louvre photo session. There is actually not just one large glass pyramid at the Louvre, but there are also several smaller ones. We can use all of them for your Louvre photo session. Also there are large basins filled with water in summer in the Louvre courtyard near the pyramids. As your photographers in Paris we love using the reflection for your photo session at the Louvre

Louvre Palace & architecture

NOT REALLY ! Ceremonies are not permitted at the Louvre, but it’s fine to have your pictures then in wedding outfits. If you still would like to get married in the area we got a solution for you: you can have your Paris elopement ceremony at the Tuileries.

Solo photo session at Louvre

YES ! A Louvre photo session is great for all types of solo photoshoots in Paris: We especially love shooting fashion and Quinceanera photo sessions in this area as it is so elegant.

Sunrise & Morning: YES
Sunrise and morning are the best time to shoot your photo session at the Louvre. As your Parisian photographers we recommend to meet as early as possible. Because the area quickly gets busy starting from mid morning, when the Louvre museum is opening for visitors.

Afternoon: NO
Afternoon is not a great time to shoot at the Louvre. The light is bad and it’s simply too busy and you will have far too many people in the background of your photos.

Sunset & Night: YES but…
If you want to have photos at the blue hour, then the Louvre is a nice place to take your evening photos in Paris but beware that it won’t be empty, there will still be many people around during your Louvre photo session. Check with us beforehand for availability.

Palais Royal

This is another former royal palace mixing gardens and architecture. We especially love shooting in the arcades and inner with black and white columns in different sizes. Children love this location to play and run around. That’s why we love to include this Paris location into family photo sessions. The arcades are also great in case it starts raining as we can be covered there.

Tuileries

The Tuileries used to be the royal gardens that belonged to the Louvre palace. It is a large park stretching out right in front of the Louvre palace. The Tuileries are a beautiful Paris photo shoot location to add a few more romantic photos after your photo session at the Louvre. We especially love the alley with some beautiful architecture in the background (perfect for proposal and ceremonies).
