Ritz Paris Wedding Photography
A Timeless Luxury Wedding Experience
Février Photography (Alex Nguyen) — refined, natural, editorial wedding storytelling at the Ritz Paris, from quiet moments to a full celebration.
The Ritz Paris — Timeless, Editorial, and truly Paris
A wedding at the Ritz Paris has a very special feeling: Place Vendôme elegance, soft interiors, and an atmosphere that’s both grand and intimate.
At Février Photography, the approach is discreet and story-driven — honest moments first, with a refined editorial eye. The goal is to let the Ritz be beautiful without overpowering the people and emotions at the center of the day.
Featured Story — Elen & Maxim
Elen & Maxim chose a classic Paris rhythm:
Ceremony at Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption, then a warm celebration at the Ritz Paris.
From the calm before the ceremony to the joyful exit, and from the first steps into the Ritz to the dinner atmosphere later in the evening — their day was filled with timeless details and real, natural emotion.
Ritz Paris Wedding Venues & Salons
One of the Ritz’s strengths is the variety of spaces — from intimate salons to larger receptions. Each room has its own mood, light, and flow.
A few signature spaces couples often love:
Salon Vendôme
A classic setting for a larger reception with a strong “grand evening” feeling.
Salon Marie-Louise
A refined Belle Époque atmosphere that feels romantic and timeless for dinner.
Salon d’Été
Bright, airy, and connected to a terrace and the Grand Jardin — beautiful for cocktails and daytime moments.
Verrière Marie-Louise
A luminous space under a glass canopy — especially elegant when you want natural light and softness.
Grand Jardin
A rare private garden in the heart of Paris — perfect for a calm pause together, relaxed portraits, and a beautiful transition between moments.
A Little Ritz History
The Ritz Paris opened in 1898 on Place Vendôme, founded by César Ritz. From the start, it became a symbol of Parisian elegance — the kind of place where everything feels timeless, without trying too hard.

Photography Style at the Ritz
The Ritz has a quiet elegance that doesn’t need to be over-directed. I work with a calm, documentary rhythm — letting the day unfold naturally, while paying close attention to light, composition, and the small details that make the Ritz feel unmistakably Paris.
If we have a few minutes, we’ll step into the Grand Jardin or a beautiful corner of the hotel for simple, effortless portraits — always natural, never forced.
A Complete Story, Without The Rush
From the ceremony at Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption to the celebration at the Ritz, the focus is on capturing the atmosphere and the people — the real emotions, the elegant details, and the moments in between that you’ll want to remember years from now.
