The Happy Couple
The Bride
A passionate architect and lover of art, Amelie brings warmth and creativity to everything she touches. Born in Lyon, she sculpts spaces the way she sculpts moments — with intention, warmth, and an eye for what endures.
Outside of work she paints watercolours, hunts for vintage novels at flea markets, and makes the best tarte tatin you have ever tasted.

The Groom
A cardiologist at Hôpital Saint-Louis and a man who still keeps a record player on his nightstand, James brings steadiness and laughter in equal measure. He grew up in Edinburgh, moved to Paris for a research fellowship, and never left.
Mostly for the medicine — partly for the woman he met at a gallery opening while reaching for the same glass of Burgundy.
Our Full StoryHow it all began
Sep 2019
A serendipitous collision at a gallery opening in Montmartre. Amelie was admiring a watercolour of the Seine when James accidentally sent her wine glass arcing across the room. By midnight they had exchanged numbers on a paper napkin.
Oct 2019
A candlelit dinner at a tiny bistro on Rue de Buci. They ordered the prix-fixe without reading it, shared a bottle of Burgundy, and talked until the proprietor began stacking chairs around them.
Mar 2022
Under cherry blossoms at Parc de Sceaux, James got down on one knee. He had carried the ring for three months. He forgot every word of his rehearsed speech. She said yes before he finished the question.
Jun 2026
And now the most beautiful chapter of all — exchanging vows at St. Catherine's Chapel as the afternoon light turns golden, celebrating with everyone who shaped our story.
