A Few Days in Paris, Part 1

Over the weekend, I visited Stefanie and Amaury — exactly one year after their unforgettable weddings in Paris and at Lake Constance, which famously ended with the legendary jump into the water. Naturally, the camera was with me again, and over the days I took quite a few photos. Here’s the first part of them:
