Kiss me in Paris
Excellent (10 out of 10)
Truly one of the most wonderful services I have ever experienced. Coming from the US and planning to propose in Paris was an obstacle that I could not have managed to pull off. With the help of Chantelle and her excellent team, together we were able to flawlessly execute which will now be remembered as one of the most magical nights my fiancée and I have ever had.
Chantelle (Best proposal planner in Paris)
Trustworthy, Reliable, Flexible, and Genuine. These are only a few of the many kind words to describe how exceptional Chantelle was. She was incredible. Going into the planning of the proposal I was a bit nervous and skeptical when selecting a company to assist me with this. After reaching out to Chantelle, she immediately sent me back a full description of the options I would have to review and helped me narrow down my choices. After working with her over calls and through messages I began to feel a lot more comfortable with my decision. She was very attentive to the budget I had and provided me with excellent alternatives to what I had in mind to get as close to my vision but still stay within the budget. The combination of staying at the Raphael and then walking over to the Peninsula Hotel (20 steps next door) was brilliant. I was able to have a luxury stay in Paris and still propose on the rooftop terrace of the Peninsula. The execution she brought on the day of made my job a lot less stressful. Knowing that I could rely on Chantelle and her team to deliver ensured I was able to stay focused on the big moment. She is truly a gem, and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to propose in Paris. My fiancée and I could not be more thankful and blessed we had her. The Best!
Vincent (photographer)
Truly has an eye for capturing dreamy looking pictures from unique angles. Not only was he a magnificent photographer he was also a great coach in helping me shake off my nerves and getting me ready for the big moment. He told me exactly how to kneel and reassured me a few times that everything was going to be perfect. After we received the photos, it was incredibly hard selecting favorites because all of them were super great! I would highly recommend Vincent to anyone that is looking for a professional who will go above and beyond.
Juliana (photographer)
We were lucky to have Juliana join us as well to take pictures and capture our lovely moment. Juliana was very genuine and helped my fiancée with different poses as well as even helping with retouching up makeup when she had mascara tears after the big question. Super friendly and very understanding. The collaboration of Vincent and Juliana truly made it a very fun photo shoot. The creative angles Juliana took were also unique and special. Super difficult to select favorites out of the magnificent photo gallery they both put together.
Sylwia (decor)
The decor was gorgeous. Everything that I had looked forward to in the proposal setup, Sylwia delivered. Although it was raining the team still persevered and completed the setup on the terrace. They even had a backup table set up inside just in case the rain continued. After the proposal was finished, I forgot about the additional room decor. When entering the room, after a lovely/successful night it was a very pleasant last surprise. The decor inside the room was perfect and very professional. My fiancée loved the heart shaped rose petals, and the premium chocolates were amazing.
Overall, I had an amazing experience and executed the proposal flawlessly thanks to Kiss Me in Paris. I could not have asked for a better team to help me out, especially my trusty planner Chantelle. I would recommend booking this company as soon as possible if you are thinking about proposing in Paris and leaving your friends and family in complete shock and awe.

Read moreIn a word, the experience of working with Odrida and Kiss Me in Paris was wonderful, like getting married all over again. I can not express enough gratitude for Kiss Me in Paris. Though putting words to the experience can't possibly explain how amazing the experience was, I will try.
First off, even though we scheduled the shoot about six months in advance, Odrida in particular was very attentive and easy to work with. She made sure to stay in contact and ask for our input, which let us feel that she truly cared about making the experience and the end result beautiful. She ensured that we entered the experience confident in her abilities and optimistic that, even with our doubts about our physical imperfections, we would love the photos.
It also became clear the weeks immediately before the shoot that Odrida was thoughtfully taking in to account the types of photos we hoped for and the sites we requested. As she solidified a day-of-shoot plan with us, she advised us of the best times for lighting and to avoid the massive crowds usually overwhelming the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Her dedication to professionalism and extensive knowledge of the areas paid off in pictures more beautiful than those we ever could have imagined.
On the day of the shoot, Odrida arrived early to the appointment, around 5:45 am, even though she had only had a couple hours of sleep the night before, we would later find out. She would not show any slowing or lack of energy in any way during the shoot. She was still moving up and down and helping to rearrange my dress. To any outside observer, WE would have been the slower moving and sleepy ones.
One huge positive comment we had, even to each other, about Odrida was that, as other photographers from other companies began to show up with their couples, they were paying attention to were Odrida had been. We beat all the other couples, thanks totally to Odrida and her experience, and after they arrived, we began noticing THEY were following ODRIDA, rather than the other way around. It seemed obvious to us that she had a reputation, even with competing photographers, of being a creative and innovative photographer.
One example of the innovation I mentioned: She noticed I enjoyed chasing pigeons and rather than fight the natural surrounding animals, she pulled out a bag of rice and tossed some closer toward us, bringing dozens of pigeons flocking around and resulting in some of our (definitely MY) favorite and most unique shots.
She was also incredibly understanding with my physical limitations. As a bride with an autoimmune disease that limits my mobility, stamina, etc., and also wearing a wedding dress that was tailored to nearly be sewn on me, I was definitely slower and less able to get some of the shots I'm sure she would have loved. But she never made me feel self-conscious or like I was holding us up. And after a couple hours, when my 20-lb beaded and sequined dress had thoroughly drained me, she listened and a couple days later provided us with more than 500 absolutely BREATHTAKING photos, nearly all of which are outstanding even without retouching and editing. By far one of the most difficult decisions my new husband and I have had to make together was narrowing it down to the 30 we wanted in high resolution and edited, and we couldn't do it. We ended up requesting 50.
I have NOTHING but the best things to say about the experience, Odrida, the entire Kiss Me in Paris team, and our Paris photos. They are our favorite wedding/honeymoon pictures, even more than the pictures from the actual wedding day. We can't express our delight and gratitude more for giving us, not only an exceptional group of photos, but for the outstanding customer service and responsiveness. THESE are the people to get for your Paris bridals.
Attached to this review is are a couple UNEDITED pictures, shot by Odrida at Kiss Me in Paris. She deserves all...
Read moreNicole and I had amazing experience with KMIP. Here was the dream team for the proposal (though I'm sure the entire staff is phenomenal as well):
Planners: Chantelle and Eden Decore and props: Sylwia and Glenn Photographer: Laurent Videographer for Video Reel: Juliana Other staff/Coordinators: James
I found many third party proposal planners and photographers, but KMIP stood out with the plethora of options on their well-maintained website. My questions were answered promptly by James after initial inquiries were sent. He was always quick to respond and to provide updates along the way (link-up with the planners, invoices, photo uploads, and many other notifications).
Chantelle and Eden planned out the entire proposal while capturing my vision. An entire "proposal brief" is provided and several interim meetings were done, which were always productive and not time-consuming. They cannot be thanked enough for all the planning they execute on a daily basis.
The decor set-up by Sylwia and Glenn was spot on as you can see from the photos below! Sparklers, the red carpet, florals, and special request for sunflowers were perfect and set-up very promptly prior to our arrival.
Laurent is a man with many experiences and a gentle soul. His art is splendid. He knows all the areas to shoot and after you get to talk with him, you'll be blown away by his vast experiences in professional photography. He also went out of his way to provide us with a very in-depth list of recommendations for food in the area. None of his recommendations disappointed. Check out the photos below! We look forward to the remainder of the photos that are currently being edited. Do not hesitate to book with Laurent. You will not be disappointed!
Juliana shot and produced an "Instagram-like" reel that was a minute and twenty seconds long. She captured the very essence of the proposal in real time, just like Laurent, only in video format. It was, and still is, perfect. Such high-quality. The compliments are non-stop as we share her video to friends and family. Do not hesitate to book the videography with Juliana. You will not be disappointed!
Recommendation for those who are considering KMIP:
Having both videography and photography adds an additional dimension to remembering your special moment. Definitely consider both. Juliana and Laurent worked perfectly together (as I'm sure the rest of the team does, too).
Although I initially had planned on proposing at the Trocadéro, a few days out from our special day, Laurent recommended another location since the Trocadéro was trashed (unfortunately) by other tourists. I didn't hesitate to take his and the team's recommendation and everything still worked out perfectly, and even more intimately/privately.
KMIP is the dream team you are looking for all your proposal, photography, and/or videography needs in Paris!
Thank you, again, Chantelle, Eden, Sylwia, Glenn, Laurent,...
