I took these during our honeymoon in 2016. We spent most of our time in London, and did an overnight trip to Paris to break things up. Right after the trip, I jumped ahead of the queue and posted most of the London ones, but these were on a separate memory card that I thought I'd misplaced and didn't find until a little while later.
We were only in Paris for roughly 24 hours, and it was overcast and rainy the whole time, but we loved it anyway. I hope these travel photos from the time before might provide a bit of a break from whatever COVID-19-inflected routine you've been working through.

We were wandering in the street in the rain, and heard what sounded like an orchestra playing the Imperial March from Star Wars. With few fixed plans, we followed the sound into the park and found our way here.

On our wedding day while chatting with our photographer, Melvin Gilbert, we realized that we would be in Paris at the same time. He met up with us before dawn and took photos of us with the Eiffel Tower as our background. I grabbed a few shots like this one while we were there. We’re so glad he suggested we do this shoot, because in addition to the amazing photos he took of us, we were able to see the tower at dawn, at a quiet hour that we likely would not have witnessed if left to our own devices!
