Paris secret proposal + gourmet picnic at Le Louvre

We prepared a Vegan gourmet picnic for Marthy and Meg a few days ago at the gardens of the Louvre. Marthy had reached out to us to ask whether we could possibly arrange for a vegan picnic for his surprise proposal. WE said ” YES” why not! Not being fluent in the art of preparing a vegan picnic, we went around town to a few vegan stores and discovered how this trend is quickly developing in the city with vegan bakeries, restaurant and food stores as well as a cool tea shop on rue Voltaire in the 11th where we purchased a selection of vegan cakes which we of course had to try ourselves. AND yes happily surprised we were after all. Below a few of the photographs taken by Olivier during the proposal. They looked so happy together, the photos are gorgeous and they enjoyed their vegan picnic.

It started raining towards the end of the picnic so Olivier rushed to the car and grabbed a couple of umbrellas which he dropped off to them. He snapped a photo with his iphone as he was leaving. So cool …. The rain did not stop them from enjoying their gorgeous evening in the city of love!

Family portraits and a picnic at the Luxembourg gardens

Paris family photographer

With summer in Paris comes outing in the park with friends and family. We are lucky to have so many gorgeous public parks in the city. They all have their charms and particularities. The Luxembourg garden brings back childhood memories riding donkeys, going to the theatre for kids and pushing the wooden sailing boats around the Grand Bassin duck pond! Paris is a beautiful city and when we were asked for some family portraits and a picnic I suggested the Luxembourg gardens. I think the photos came up quite nicely. The little one was a little tired struggling with a toothache, she was a lot of fun though and very curious about the camera and photographer making faces to attract her attention and make her smile!

Paris Family portraits in the fall

While our picnic season is slowing down, we are still taking couple and families around the city for some lifestyle photography. I photographed Fred and Muriel this morning who flew all the way from Washington DC to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. This afternoon, I headed to the Luxembourg gardens for Lisa and Robert engagement photo session. The fall is a beautiful time of the year to wander the streets of Paris. I had a good looking umbrella with me just in case of a few drops so that the rain wouldn’t stop us from snapping away some interesting lifestyle images with gorgeous Paris in the background. I hope you guys enjoy those few photographs and if you are planning a trip to Paris in the forthcoming christmas season we will be in town so do not hesitate to reach out to us we would be glad to assist you if we can.

We actually enjoy a picnic in the fall ourselves with some hot chocolate and a warm blanket.It is a wonderful way to resource ourselves, enjoy a unique experience with your loved one in this beautiful city of ours. We have decided to cater for gourmet picnics this winter season as well. We would be serving our picnics at the place Dauphine and around the Pont Neuf over lunch time only. If you would like to take on the adventure with your loved one on the edge of the river seine, looking at the boats passing by or sitting at one of the most beautiful hidden square of the capital, reach out to “Love Picnic Paris“, we will set up your surprise picnic basket with all of our winter season must have !

We will make sure that the experience is utterly romantic and unique. You might just have to cover yourself warmly which you would anyway. We will take care of the rest.

Jen+Patrick wedding anniversary and a special birthday celebration

Another beautiful photo story taken by Olivier at the Trocadero gardens with Jen and Patrick. It was Jen’s birthday and their three years wedding anniversary that they celebrated with one of our picnic basket and a romantic photo session around the Eiffel tower. AGAIN I LOVE THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS, they convey real happiness and the special bound that those two share with each other. The photos are fun and natural, so much that it seems that they have been snapped away by a friend! Well no, they were taken by one of the most amazing photographer that I know, who simply has mastered his craft!

Paris family portraits

Classic & Elegant & Fun and Creative are a few adjectives summing up Olivier’s photographic work! Not everyone is used to having their portraits taken, it takes dedication and experience, 150% commitment and a lot of love for his craft for a photographer to produce gorgeous images every time he takes his camera. Olivier knows how to make his clients feel at ease in front of his camera very quickly so that he can produce real lifestyle images. You may or may not order one of our gourmet picnic but if you are looking for the right photographer to document ” a day and a life ” of a family or a couple in Paris while visiting, I would really settle for the best because at the end you do see the difference and the experience will be memorable. Every day of the week, there are many photographers at the Eiffel tower taking portraits of their clients. I was there yesterday waiting for some clients and watching them interacting with their clients! It takes a real talent to come up with some gorgeous photographs and reinvent yourself every single time.

PARIS SECRET PROPOSAL WITH AMIT + NISHA

We have been communication with Amit all the way to Australia to help him plan a surprise proposal for his beautiful girlfriend. The last couple of days were a bit unseasy. We were checking the weather forecast every couple of hours also to try to figure out whether we should push the time or postpone to the next day all together! After two days of continuous rain, I guess we all got luchy. Our client managed to propose to Nisha with the Eiffel tower in the background as planned!

They enjoyed one of our picnic with a bottle of champagne. Olivier snapped a few photographs of the actual proposal as well as a few portraits around the Trocadero. We had a little bit of rain for a few minutes as they were finishing their lunch. A good excuse to take the umbrella out and take a few lovely photographs.

It sometimes rains in Paris which for picnics is not the ideal. For photographs, I would suggest an elegant umbrella which ends up being used as a prop. It always work beautifully, and if the rain gets heavy there is always the terrace of a cafe to shelter at until it stops. This way you can enjoy a little break as well with a delicious hot chocolate or a cup of tea.

Lovely review from our client : What an amazing team Olivier and Miyoko are! The surprise proposal Picnic was magnificent – from the candles to the pillows to the amazing selection of cheese, champagne and fruits, everything was perfect!! I had been in contact with both of them for several months, fine tuning small details and organizing the time and place. The best part of this experience is that Olivier and Miyoko were able to recreate the exact image I had in my head as to how I wanted the picnic to go.
Both my girlfriend (now fiancé) and I had a great time. Photos were awesome, and it was an experience we will remember forever.
Thank you guys, could not recommend you enough! 10/10!

Secret proposal + A gourmet picnic at the Eiffel tower

Anthony + Isabel at the Trocadero gardens.
Anthony had contacted us to help organize his secret proposal to his long time girlfriend Isabel. We organised a picnic for them overlooking the Eiffel tower and Olivier was present to photograph the secret proposal and take a few portraits of the two of them around this gorgeous location.
Both Antony and Isabel left a very sweet review on our new Yelp page for “Love Picnic Paris”. Here is part of Anthony’s review: “For my proposal to my girlfriend, now fiancé, Paris was the perfect location as it is the city of lights with a long history of romance and elegance. I wanted to surprise my fiancé with a surprise picnic on front of the Eiffel Tower. And that’s exactly what Love Picnic Paris delivered!…”
If you are considering having us organize your secret proposal in Paris or a picnic combined with an engagement photo session around the Eiffel tower, you might want to go to our Yelp professional page to read the whole review from the two of them!

A Gourmet Paris Picnic + Engagement Photo session

Andreia and Julien photographed by Olivier during their engagement picnic at the gardens of the Trocadero in Paris. You can tell that they had a wonderful time during their romantic lunch + engagement photo session yesterday. The weather is simply gorgeous in Paris at the moment. It is the perfect time to enjoy one of our gourmet picnic with family and your loved ones!

Looking at those photographs, I am considering to prepare a picnic for ourselves this week end and take off to Versailles for the afternoon. We might just exceptionally be closed on sunday!
I am so jealous of our clients right now and I want to do exactly the same. Those two look so happy together and we are so glad that they had a wonderful afternoon with us in Paris. The photos of their engagement are gorgeous. They are full of life and all natural. They simply look very happy and had a great time in front of Olivier’s camera thanks to his goofiness and wonderful sense of humour. Olivier knows exactly how to make people relax and have fun. It is such a pleasure looking at this serie this morning.

Andreia and Julian enjoyed our “Léon Picnic” late afternoon on the grass of the trocadero. Olivier took them around the Trocadero for a mini photo session once the picnic was over. Our mini photo session lasts half an hour and includes 15 beautifully retouched photographs in high definition ready to print and frame on your wall. Olivier somehow finished quite late last night! I heard they had such a good time that he got carried away with chatting and photography! As a result, they are so many gorgeous portraits of our Brazilian couple with the Eiffel tower in the background.
I am terrible at editing photographs myself and wouldn’t know how to choose. They all look stunning really.

I am so glad we were part of our couple happiness in Paris with our gourmet picnic and the photographs taken by Olivier that I am sure they will cherish for a very long time.

Picnic in Paris + Romantic photo session

What’s more exciting then a romantic picnic overlooking the Eiffel tower with your lover in Paris! The days are just beautiful in Paris at the moment. The city is quite peaceful. Most Parisians are still vacationing in the south. It is certainly one of my favorite time of the year to be in Paris. What a wonderful summer we have had!

Monica had contacted us to order a surprise wicker basket gourmet picnic to celebrate her first trip in France. We set up our “Leon Picnic” & a one hour romantic photo session around the Trocadero for them as well ( They originally planned on a mini photo shoot which turned out to be too much fun and too short for their liking! ) . We actually showed some of the photos to some French friends we met up with last night. They thought the whole idea was simply brillant and decided to book “Love Picnic Paris” for an extravagant end of summer picnic at Versailles! And of course we couldn’t refuse such a fun outing. We are now considering proposing engagement & secret proposal & our gourmet picnics at the gardens of Versailles. It is very nice to get such wonderful feed back from everyone we meet. It is a wonderful feeling to create happiness in People’s life with some simple pleasure such as a Traditional wicker picnic basket delivered at the Eiffel tower.

What’s more exciting then relaxing on the grass overlooking the Eiffel tower with your loved one, enjoying a traditional French Picnic served with a nice bottle of Bordeaux then walking around with a fun & professional and creative photographer taking some romantic photographs with the Eiffel tower in the background. What a treat really, only in Paris!

A couple of important things to remember: We need you to place your picnic order a minimum of 24 hours prior to your big day. Our gourmet picnics take time to prepare & we cannot satisfy the last minute orders. We only do one picnic at Lunch time and one in the evening and dates get booked very quickly so again reserve your date in advance so that you wont be disappointed. And last, although we do offer mini photo session, our photographer Olivier suggests that you invest in one hour photo session if possible. Half hour of photography flies, it is a lot of fun to do & it is really worth the investment to stretch it to a whole hour if you can afford it of course!

You can view some of Olivier’s professional photographic work on his website by the way.
