Natalia & Taylor had a dream destination wedding in Paris surrounded by their closest friends and family. After meeting through work, they spent countless sales runs together that eventually led to dating and falling in love. Now, I had the honor of photographing them all over Paris on one of the happiest days of their lives. Keep reading to see more of their beautiful day!

A Luxury Destination Wedding in Paris

Getting Ready at The Château

They both got ready at the stunning Château de Santeny. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in so much natural light, making everything feel soft, bright, and effortless. Both the guys and the girls helped the bride and groom get ready, creating so many opportunities to capture intimate moments with the bridal parties. Everyone was giddy, soaking in the excitement and enjoying their time together before the celebration began. Natalia also took this time to have a first look with her father, and it was such an emotional and sweet moment to witness.

The Intimate Ceremony

The ceremony was right outside in the backyard of the Château, letting the steps act as the altar for the couple. Their décor was understated, elegant, and absolutely stunning. They chose all white florals, white chairs, and even a white aisle. They also opted for a traditional first look, seeing each other for the very first time as Natalia walked down the aisle. It was such a sweet and intimate moment. A few tears were shed during their vows, making the ceremony even more emotional. Natalia’s dad officiated the ceremony while Taylor’s dad shared a prayer over the couple, making it all the more meaningful.

Bride & Groom Portraits

We did portraits right after the ceremony. They had a vintage car, which was so cool, and we got a lot of fun shots in it before exploring the Château itself. We wandered all around the property, taking portraits on the staircases, in the mirrors, outside, and even in one of the bedrooms with this gorgeous red wallpaper. We also made time for family portraits before everyone headed off to celebrate, and those were so much fun to capture.

The Reception

Their reception was unique and took place in two different rooms. They started with a beautiful sit-down dinner around one long family-style table, then headed into another room for dancing, complete with deep red curtains and an iconic checkered floor!

A Note From The Couple

Typically, couples send me emails or texts with their feedback, but Natalia & Taylor actually sent me a reaction video of them looking through their gallery for the first time. They were emotional and shed a few tears, which made me so happy to know I was able to capture such special moments for them. This is just a small reminder of why I do what I do!

Chrissy Canitano | NYC & Destination Wedding Photographer

Natalia & Taylor’s destination wedding in Paris was such an incredible day to be a part of. Every part of their wedding felt so intentional, and it was so special getting to document such an important chapter of their lives in one of the most beautiful places in the world. One of my favorite things about photographing destination weddings is getting to tell each couple’s story in a place that means so much to them.

Whether your wedding is close to home or across the world, my goal is always the same: to capture your day in a way that feels true to you and preserves every moment you’ll want to relive for years to come.

If you loved this wedding, I have so many more beautiful days like this on the blog. Feel free to explore and get inspired for your own. 🤍
