Superb experience!!!
We decided to do a little ceremonial event for our 20th wedding anniversary in Paris. We are extremely happy with the photographer, Max. He was super professional and quite a historian. We had a great time and learned so much about historical buildings/places while we were doing photo shoots. All photos came out excellent ..! We highly recommend Max with 200% confidence!
Operator response
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! Celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary with a historical photo tour in Paris sounds like such a meaningful way to mark the occasion. I really enjoy combining photography with a bit of storytelling, so I'm glad you came away with both beautiful photos and some history along the way. A historical tour like this is one of my favorite formats for couples looking for something a little different from a standard Paris photoshoot. Thank you for your confidence and for such a generous recommendation. Congratulations again on 20 years, and I'd love to welcome you back to Paris for another milestone in the future!

Thank you so much for this fantastic review, and congratulations again on 20 years! Combining a historical photo tour with your anniversary celebration in Paris was such a great way to spend the day together. I love sharing bits of Parisian history while shooting, it makes for a much richer experience than a standard photoshoot, and it's always rewarding when clients come away having learned something new about the city. I'm thrilled the photos turned out well too. Thank you both for such kind words and for recommending Max Rumeau Photography so warmly. I hope to see you again in Paris for your next milestone!

Lovely Photographs
The overall experience was great. Max was very kind and knowledgeable of Paris. He was punctual and professional. We were a group of 5: myself, my husband, two teens, and my 80 year old mother-in-law. It was not an easy job. But we are very pleased with our photographs and learned a few things in the process! The whole tour is quite a bit of walking! We only made it about halfway through due to the physical limitations of my mother-in-law. I am so thankful that I will actually be able to be in some of the photos from our trip (since I am usually the one taking them)!
Operator response
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! Touring with a group of five, including your mother-in-law, is a bit of a different challenge, so I'm glad we could adapt the pace and still make it a great experience even though we didn't finish the full route. I especially love that you got to be in the photos yourself for once, since you're usually behind the camera! Thank you for trusting Max Rumeau Photography with such an important family trip, and for your patience along the way. I'd be happy to plan an even more accessible route for you next time!

Thank you, Vanessa! A group of five, including your mother-in-law, made for a wonderful but definitely more relaxed pace around Paris, and I'm glad we found a rhythm that worked even if we didn't cover the full historical tour. It was genuinely nice getting you in front of the camera for once instead of behind it! I really appreciate your patience with all the walking, and I'd be happy to design a shorter, easier route whenever you're back in Paris.

Perfect Paris Experience
My husband and I only had one night and two days in Paris for a long layover. We did a lot of research before we went and found this on a To Do List: photo shoot in Paris. We have never had our pictures taken professionally. Not only was the photo shoot amazing, but we got a historical tour as well from Max. Overall, we spent about 1.5 hours walking through Paris and getting perfect photos. It was easy to meet up with him and communication was excellent. I don't feel like I am very photogenic and he made the poses look natural and provided great directions. We just got our edited photos back that we were able to download and they have exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Max's Historical Photo Tour if you are visiting Paris.
