Many of you are wondering which time of the day is the best for a couple photoshoot in Paris.

One can say that in photography the preferred moments is either at sunrise or sunset time. These are the perfect time for a light that would enhance your portraits.

As a result, how can you choose between sunrise or sunset for your romantic photoshoot in Paris?

Here are few examples to make you decide:

A sunrise photoshoot in Paris is great if you are looking for some portraits with the Eiffel Tower in the background. The Trocadéro gets crowdy really fast. It would be easier to enjoy being the two of you early in the morning. By and large, a sunrise photoshoot is recommanded in Paris when you want to avoid people on your photos.

Sunset photo shoots are great for couples who decide to go in more hidden gems in Paris. You will thus benefit from a great light and feel fit (after a good night sleep).

Both of these photos took place at the same spot. The major difference is the crowd.

The first photo was taken during sunrise. At that time, only few joggers and walkers can be seen.

B. Sunset couple photoshoot

During sunset, it’s a flow of passersby, as you can see with people aside the couple.

Conclusion: Sunrise is my advice

Following my experience, I would highly recommend to have your couple photoshoot in Paris during sunrise if you want to feel a special and more quiet parisian atmosphere. You will also feel more comfortable with less people around you for a better result at the end.
