Palace of Versailles Private Photo Shoots & Surprise Proposals
Overview
As an American who has called Paris home for over a decade, I'll take you to the most picturesque spots around Versailles gardens and help you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.
A Unique Alternative to the Eiffel Tower: While the Eiffel Tower is the most photographed landmark, Versailles offers a more exclusive backdrop.
Result? Timeless photographs you will treasure.
My priority is to create natural, authentic photos that capture your experience poetically.

What To Expect
The Garden of Château de Versailles is the perfect way to elevate your experience- from ornate fountains to marble statue-lined paths.
Ideal for half or full day visitors to Versailles, this 60-minute photoshoot fits perfectly into your itinerary. Whether you're solo, a couple celebrating romance, or planning a surprise proposal, this photoshoot is designed to highlight the beauty of your experience in the royal gardens.
You’ll have enough time to wander the gardens and soak in the atmosphere while still allowing for a meaningful photoshoot that’s not rushed. Expect a tranquil, opulent setting in the symmetrical grandeur of Bosquet de la Reine, ornate fountains of Latona, and marble statue-lined paths. From formal portraits to more candid moments, you’ll receive a well-rounded collection of images. Expect a private online gallery containing 30 professionally-edited photos plus all remaining candid images.
Every image is thoughtfully selected to highlight your best angles, the beauty of the gardens, and tell a story filled with authenticity.
