Organizing a proposal just when the Eiffel Tower first Sparkles in the evening is something very difficult and sometimes unpredictable …
The Eiffel Tower light sensors automatically switch on the main lights around half an hour after sunset. The sparkling effects starts every hour at nighttime ( so 10pm, 11pm, midnight, 1am are sure) and last for 5 minutes.
So the very first sparkling depends on the season (sunset time) but also on the weather, and when it’s cloudy or stormy , you never exactly know when will be the first time !!!
Last Wednesday, we have been waiting until 9pm for the Eiffel Tower to sparkle. The sunset was at 8:35pm so there were 90% of chances to see the sparkling at 9pm…. but the sky was so bright that the Eiffel Tower light turned on at 9:05pm … we missed the sparkles, and would have had to wait for another hour … The GOOD side of this is that we got some VERY beautiful shots with an amazing sky 😉
Thank you so much, Bruno! The photos came out amazing and were exactly what I was looking for. Bruno beautifully captured our proposal for us to remember forever. He is definitely a skilled photographer and worked closely with me prior to our arrival in Paris to come up with a plan for my proposal to make sure we would get the perfect pictures. Savannah loved the surprise photo-shoot and could not wait to get the pictures to share with family and friends and announce our engagement.
Thank you again, Bruno for doing such a wonderful job and making the evening extra special for us!
Bruno captured my special moment in Paris when James (my fiancé) got down on one knee. It was the most amazing day of my life and I am so happy he chose Bruno! Right from the beginning I could tell how dedicated and passionate Bruno was. He would take risks and balance on benches just to get the perfect angle for the shoot. We were moving quickly because he knew the sun was setting but he wanted to capture as many beautiful photos as he could before it set. He was funny and making us laugh and I felt comfortable the whole time. I would recommend Bruno to anyone that is planning on having a proposal in Paris. Everyone always asks me how I did not notice him following us around but Bruno is just that good and I really had no idea. Our photos were breathtaking and everyone that sees them is shocked! James did a fantastic job but he could not have done it without Bruno!
