KARINA LEIGH
A DREAM WEDDING IN THE MOST ROMANTIC CITY IN THE WORLD —
YOUR HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER STARTS HERE!
Your wedding day in Paris — beyond the Eiffel Tower, so many quaint corners, gardens overflowing with flowers, incredible architecture, and most of all, a feeling of grandeur.
Paris is a magical place to get married, and I'm here to capture those moments you'll hold dear to your heart, forever!
Whether it's your dream to have a meaningful elopement with just the two of you or a few close family & friends, or a more traditional wedding in a church, hotel or event center, I'm here to make your Parisian dreams come true!
WHY KARINA?
Getting married in a foreign country is incredible, but can be daunting too. So many questions may cross your mind. Where do you go that isn't packed with tourists? How do you find the most special spot to exchange your vows? Who do you trust for an officiant, flowers, or a ride to your ceremony?
I'm an English speaking American professional photographer, living full-time in France for well over a decade, and I handle exactly that. I'll help you find a beautiful location that fits your vision, connect you with trusted English-speaking artisans, and build a stress-free timeline customized and tailored to you. You show up and be present with each other — I'll take care of the rest and capture your incredible day in images to treasure forever!
In addition to elopements in Paris, I also photograph intimate weddings, which I adore! If you already have a plan for your wedding, please contact me and tell me more about it!
