There is not such thing like the shy early sun, the tangling air and the empty streets of a Sunday morning in Paris.

One of those moments in life when everything looks and feels just right.

I have an addiction. To breakfasts, and sweets. Like, to food actually.

My collegues and friends know: I am always eating, all day. Can't help it.

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and I never skip it. So when in Paris I looked for the best place to have breakfast as a vegan cause can you really miss the croissant experience? No you can't :)

So thanks, Google! Scrolling through all the vegan places in Paris, I found THE place I was looking for:

VG Pâtisserie.

It is located in Roquette and it is easily reachable with the metro line n. 9, Voltaire / Léon Blum stop. 
The area is  a very residential area and it is quite tourists-free. I guess it is a nice area to live in, too.

VG Pâtisserie is just the BOMB. I have never had such an amazing vegan food experience. 
Not only the textures, the flavours, the colors  and the look of everything. But the guys working there are sweeter that the sweets they sell. They made my day.

The desserts selection is very wide, considering the bakery is not very big.

I ended up picking a Marzipan croissant, a Pistachio Mousse roll covered in a crunchy strawberry topping and a piece of vegan Vanilla Flan. Aw, and an American coffee :)

If you ever get the chance to visit paris and you are looking for a really good place to have a vegan breakfast don’t think twice: this place will not disappoint you, I promise!

Warm Hearts on a Cold November Day in Paris

The City of Love continues to prove how worthy it is of its name.

Each step gives you an instagrammable view: cafes, flower shops, doorways, and more. The city’s fairy lights seem to transform each street into a magical world that promises extraordinarily romantic things.

When mum said, “You’ll need a heavier jacket”, I grabbed one nonchalantly just to avoid an argument.

NOW, there’s nothing but gratitude and a reminder to self that mothers know best. Planning an outfit is my Achilles’ heel. I try my best but it’s just not my cup of tea. Whatever :)

The engagement session is the first step towards a journey to a love story. This is when I first meet the couple, especially those who booked online. 

I deliberately arrived early. I checked out the best spots. Every inch of Paris is a “best spot”, but every inch of Paris is also so crowded (especially on a Sunday) that it’s easy to get busy photos with a lot of distracting elements. 

When I met Laureine and Phi, it felt like meeting old friends. I instantly felt at home. I immediately felt at ease with their genuine smiles, heartfelt laughter, and their sincere friendliness. I did not feel the need to explain a lot. Neither did they ask for explanations. They made it feel like I was doing it for pleasure, not work and indeed – it was a great pleasure!

While some people think that couples are all the same, especially the engaged ones – boring, too caught up with each other, sprinkled with an overload of sweetness, Laureine and Phi broke the mold.

Not saying “boring” is necessarily a bad thing. But you know, there are couples that are just ordinary and boring while others, well, others are just goals AF *-*

If someone will ask for descriptions of this couple, “adventurous”, “passionate” and “vibrant” comes first into mind.

They both have mixed blood and they seem to get the best of each – Laureine is French-Sri Lankese while Phi is French-Vietnamese.

Together, they took their first step of their journey to forever and I captured each smile, each twinkle in their eye, each unspoken words of love as they gaze at each other’s eyes, hoping to preserve such precious moments in each shot.
