{l’amour at le tour eiffel} daniel & luciana engagement

This second part of my Eiffel Tower / Parisian engagement series actually contains the first images I took. These were the ones that were in my head, so to speak, and probably embodied most closely what I imagined when I dreamed of photographing a couple in Paris by the Eiffel Tower. It was shortly after sunrise, which meant that the crowds had not yet descended on the Trocadero, but they were starting to appear. There were at least 10 other photographers with families and couples that we had to work around (as well as the street cleaners and street vendors) and we also had to deal with bitter cold temps, gusty winds, and gray skies (ahh, Spring), but with a plan for a more natural light / film feel, it ended up being perfect. I did build in some off camera lighting in a few, but ended up loving the natural light the best.
