You’re going to take hundreds of photos during your Paris trip. Most of them will live on your phone, you’ll scroll past them in six months, and eventually they’ll disappear into a cloud backup you never open. We’ve been there — years of selfies with the Eiffel Tower half-cut off and blurry shots of croissants.
A professional photoshoot in Paris is different. You get real, beautiful images of you and the people you love in the most photogenic city on earth — the kind of photos you actually print, frame, and hang on a wall. And you get them taken by someone who knows exactly where to stand, when the light is right, and how to make you look natural even if you hate posing.
Rami Alwan is one of the photographers we recommend to our community. He’s been shooting in Paris for over 15 years, he’s fluent in English, French, and Arabic, and his style is vibrant, colorful, and natural — the opposite of those overly staged, stiff “tourist photos” you see on stock image sites. He specializes in making people who aren’t professional models feel completely at ease in front of the camera.
Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal at the Eiffel Tower, a family vacation shoot, a couple’s session, or even a quinceañera or sweet 16 celebration in Paris, Rami covers it all.
What to Expect from a Photoshoot with Rami
📷 Professional gear, professional editing: Rami shoots with full-frame professional equipment and personally edits every image. You’re not getting quick phone snaps with a filter — you’re getting polished, print-ready photos.
🚶 A walking session, not a stiff pose-fest: Sessions are built around a walk through Paris. Rami talks, laughs, and moves with you through different spots depending on your preference. He captures candid moments between the posed ones — and those candid shots are often the ones people love most.
🗼 He knows every angle: After years of shooting in Paris, Rami knows exactly where to go, when the light is best at each location, and how to avoid the tourist crowds in the background. His go-to starting point is Pont de Bir-Hakeim near the Eiffel Tower — one of the most photogenic spots in the city.
👨👩👧👦 All group sizes: Sessions accommodate up to 5 people, and he’s experienced with kids, proposals (he’ll coordinate the whole thing), and large family groups.
⏱️ Quick turnaround: You’ll receive a sneak peek of 3 photos shortly after your session, with the full edited gallery delivered within days — not weeks.
🇫🇷 LES FRENCHIES TIP: If you’re planning a surprise proposal, Rami has done dozens of them. He’ll position himself in advance so your partner has no idea there’s a photographer there until the moment happens. Tell him the plan over WhatsApp and he’ll help you coordinate timing and location down to the last detail.

Why We Recommend Rami
We get asked for photographer recommendations constantly in our Facebook community and through our guides. We only recommend photographers we’ve personally vetted — people who we know will deliver a great experience for American visitors in Paris.
What stood out about Rami: his background in media and advertising means he understands how to tell a visual story, not just point and click. He’s patient (especially with kids and people who feel awkward posing), he communicates clearly in English before and during the session, and his editing style produces vibrant, warm images that look stunning both on screen and printed on a wall.
If you’re visiting Paris for a special occasion — an anniversary, a honeymoon, a milestone birthday, or a proposal — booking a session with Rami is one of the best investments you can make. The photos will outlast any souvenir.
