Leave it former Cheetah Girl, Adrienne Bailon to say “I do” with the most glamorous Parisian wedding you ever did see. She married her love, Israel Houghton, and their ballroom affair captured by Mon Conte de Fées was one for the books. From the Eiffel Tower backdrop to her curve-hugging Walter Mendez dress, this is one destination wedding you won’t soon forget.
From the photographer… For the couple portraits, warm colors of the fall worked beautifully for a vintage and romantic look. I wanted to show that magical side of Paris by playing with the gentle light of the sun and the cloudy sky, but I also wanted some black and white pictures that I consider timeless regardless the trends in fashion or wedding photography.
Rose and violet tones were chosen for an intimate ceremony and as for the evening party, candles gave the beautiful gold aura. I really loved that night atmosphere full of love and tenderness. I have several pictures I like a lot but the one I captured while standing upstairs and nobody saw I was taking pictures, is one of my favorites. I truly love to photograph candid moments.
Adrienne and Israel were amazing and it was a real pleasure to capture their happiness.
