I was booked for a photo session on Tuesday night with a delightful, young couple Marichel and Ben S., who are from Orlando, Florida. They were on a whirlwind trip, first visiting London for four days, and then Paris for another four days. One of the most rewarding things about my job as a tour guide and photographer is that many of my clients are celebrating happy occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, and graduations. It was Marichel’s and Ben’s 10th anniversary and they wanted to mark the special with a photo session and to make it special, they wanted to do it at sunset.
It was threatening to rain all afternoon and the forecast kept changing hourly. Just as I was meeting them in the courtyard of the Louvre at 7:45, there was a huge rain deluge, along with intense thunder and lightning, the likes of we haven’t seen all summer. As the old saying goes, if you don’t like the weather in Paris, wait five minutes. It was more like 20 minutes, but after the storm there was the most beautiful light and sky. Luckily, we were both under the archways in the front and the sides of the Louvre, so we didn’t get wet.
Marichel and Ben were easy going subjects, and I photographed under the Arc du Caroussel, in front of the glass pyramid at sunset and at night, on the Pont du Caroussel facing the Seine, and in the Tuileries. Marichel wore an electric blue blazer and the color just popped in my lens and in the photos.
