Laura was an amazing officiant. I would highly recommend her. She really helped to make our…read morespecial day perfect by paying attention to all of the little details. We had a destination wedding in a beautiful chateau in Chantilly and planned everything sight unseen from Chicago (USA). Laura started us off by having us answer questions via email that really let her get to know us and helped us reflect upon our relationship as well. She then Skyped with us from France to talk through ceremony options and got to know us further. She helped guide us through the whole process and even gave us resources to help us write our own vows. She was always available to answer questions and would check in on us periodically to see how we were progressing. She had our vows printed out for us to use during the ceremony and gave them to us as a keepsake for later. She did an amazing job on her parts of the ceremony and really drew the guests in. She wrote out and printed the entire service and even gave us a certificate at the end. She thought of all the small details that really make a day shine. She was so engaging that guests were talking to her after the ceremony. Later on, we had several guests tell us how great the officiant was and asked us how we found her. She was by far the best find in the whole wedding planning process.

We absolutely love Laura! She was so pleasant to work with! I found her after a google search about…read morea 8 months ago as my fiance and I were looking to elope in Paris. After some lengthy research on her services I felt comfortable enough that it wasn't a scam so I contacted her about getting something on the books. She was able to accomodate us quickly and we had our date set for May! Unfortunately, I had some health issues come up so we had to reschedule it to August and she was able to change it for us with no problem. Then, COVID hit and were so sad that we had to reschedule for next year. We sat on that thought for about a month debating whether we should wait or just do a zoom wedding. We decided we didnt want to wait given the uncertainty in the US due to COVID so we asked if she would officiate over zoom and luckily she agreed! We gathered at Shakespeare Garden in SF and she was in Paris. Luckily, the reception was great and she even left a bouquet of flowers as a memoriam for my mother at what was was supposed to be our wedding location. We are looking forward to scheduling something with her when we do our vow renewal and finally get to Paris. Trust me you wont regret working with Laura!

Where to begin with describing what an outstanding experience we had with Cengiz and Vincent? To…read morestart off, after searching through a few photography businesses in Paris to capture the surprise engagement to my the girlfriend, I reached out to Kiss Me in Paris. Soon after, Cengiz contacted me with all the information I requested. I decided to hire Cengiz to photograph and Vincent to video the special moment. Shortly after that, we connected via WhatsApp to line out all the details of the surprise and get our game plan together. Keep in mind I did all of this from Kentucky! Fast forward to being in Paris, the 6am alarm clock going off, and putting my plan into action. A quick selfie of my girlfriend and I as we walked out of the hotel to send to Cengiz so they can be recognize us when we arrive. As my girlfriend and I walk toward the Eiffel Tower, Cengiz and Vincent were hiding in the shadows, waiting to capture our moment. I might've messed my speech up, but they both knocked their roles out of the park!!! Not only did they help pull off the complete surprise proposal, but they were an amazing team, who offered a lot of guidance to us during the 1 hour photo shoot after the engagement and 2 more hours later that evening. They knew the best places to go, the best angles to catch and provided witty banter the entire time. My, now fiancé, was blow away, not just because she had a ring on her finger but she was now a Paris model! We spent our afternoon celebrating and later that evening, again met up with Cengiz and Vincent for our evening photo shoot. They made us feel like the most important people in Paris. I can't express how awesome they were to work with. After finishing up the evening shoot, we all had such a great time that we went out for pizza and beer together. I was so nice to learn about them and their journey through life and how they came to be in the photography business. They gave us a locals perspective on Paris and gave some great recommendations of places to go. They truly made our trip and engagement something unforgettable. We feel like we gained two friends and can not recommend them enough!

This review is mainly about Dexter & Vincent, but we are so grateful to the whole Kiss Me in Paris…read moreteam! Wow, so impressed with their communication, efficiency, professionalism, & of course, photography & editing skills. Highly recommend if you are looking for friendly, easy-to-work with people for a photoshoot to commemorate any occasion while you're in Paris! For my husband & I, we had professional photos taken for our proposal but never got around to take "engagement" photos prior to our wedding. We had a lot going on with wedding planning (& life), plus we figured they would look too similar to our proposal photos to be honest. Anyway, we decided on "honeymoon" photos instead, and wow, we're SO GLAD WE DID b/c of the amazing work of Vincent & his team at Kiss Me in Paris. We did the 2 hr shoot. It's strange to meet a total stranger the 2nd day you're in a foreign country, and the person telling you how to embrace your significant other/kiss each other/hold each other, etc. but that's exactly what we did & the whole experience turned out way more enjoyable than we thought! PRO TIPS: Bring extra jackets (check the weather in advance) bc it can get quite chilly, especially for the ladies in dresses in Fall/Winter seasons. If you can, also bring a friend/family member who can help you hold your things as you move around. Another option is to pay extra to hire an assistant, which can be very helpful! We did neither, so learn from us! VINCENT (photographer): What a gem! He was on time, attentive, polite, friendly, generous, paid a lot of attention to all the details (my hair, my shoes, our jewelry, our posture, our poses, our hands, our legs, literally everything) to get that perfect shot. He never wasted any of the 2 hours we had. He was constantly trying out new ideas & running them by us to see if we'd like it. He would not do anything if we were uncomfortable with it. At the same time, he made us feel at ease doing things we don't do often, like my husband lifting me up, or dipping me at 9:00am in the freezing cold. Haha. Vincent would also get inspired & ask to take special shots to showcase a pose, background, our shoes, scenery, or our jewelry (rings, watches, etc.). He was a delight to work with. We were laughing half the time in our photos & by the end, it almost felt like we were all long lost friends. We can't praise him enough. The photos speak for themselves! You won't be disappointed if you go with Vincent! He's the real deal. DEXTER: A dream to work with. He helped us schedule the photoshoot & he instructed us on the process to select our photos, making edits, etc. He was friendly, professional, and was always prompt to answer our questions. He never rushed us or was rude to us, even when we had to clarify a supplemental charge. AMAZING customer service. Honestly, we can't thank them enough. We posted the pictures on our social media accounts, and still have not stopped getting compliments about our photos. One friend told us she wanted to print out all our photos & put them in her house! Yes, these photographers are THAT good & will make you look like celebrities in a magazine! :)

Marina is the best!…read more I was a little nervous about planning a destination wedding in Paris from the USA, but after emailing and talking with Marina she put me at ease. She is a perfect communicator, responds very quickly and has the patience of a saint. She provided us with a budget/timeline spreadsheets which puts a person who has OCD (me) at ease. Another reviewer mentioned "she doesn't overwhelm you with everything that needs to be done all at once. She lets you know the deadlines for decisions as they come up. She is constantly working with all of the vendors behind the scenes so you don't have to worry about it." This is totally accurate and actually made the planning process enjoyable. Marina coordinated every detail of our wedding from venue locations, musicians, menus, makeup artist, flowers, photographer, videographer, transfer of guests, you name it! Everything she recommended turned out beautifully. She has great taste! On the day of the wedding she was there to help organize everyone and make sure everything flowed. I can honestly say I experienced no stress on the day of the wedding. The wedding was so magical! Merci Marina!

Marina helped me plan my wedding from the US, and was nothing short of amazing!…read more It's pretty scary to have never seen your venue or met your photographer prior to your wedding, but every vendor that Marina recommended to us, from the photographer, hair & makeup artist, florist, and caterer to the venue were incredibly high quality. Marina was incredibly patient with my many questions and specific requests. Our wedding was at a chateau about an hour outside of Paris. The day of the wedding, there was pouring rain all day. Marina was able to adapt and move everything inside the chateau, and it turned out beautifully. My hair ended up getting ruined from the rain when taking photos outside before the ceremony, and I was incredibly upset. Marina sprung into action, was able to find a small hair salon 10 minutes for the chateau and quickly drove me over to have my hair redone before the ceremony. I would have been so disappointed had my hair have looked bad for the entire wedding, and Marina's ability to quickly come up with a solution to the problem saved my wedding day. I can't recommend Marina enough. If you want someone who listens to what you want, knows the best vendors, and can solve any problem that comes up, Marina is the planner for you!
