Ivan, on the other hand, said “I’ll marry anywhere”. > “Being so young when we started dating, we really grew up with each other. We were each other’s life rafts when life got really hard. He was my biggest cheerleader as he supported me in all my education and career milestones. He says I’m his biggest motivator to be the best version he can be. We are different enough where we can have these strong and opinionated conversations, but have the same life values to where our foundation is steady for anything life throws at us.” After 13 years of dating, Gabrielle and Ivan decided to tie the knot with an intimate elopement in the city of love. As soon as they told us they wanted a fun, intimate and romantic elopement, full of adventure, we couldn’t agree more, and we knew we had to make it happen! We’re so excited to share the film we made for Gabrielle and Ivan. There are no rules in filmmaking: the only thing we want to capture is their love story, and the feeling between them on their day, so that when they look back, it takes them right back to the moment they stood here in Paris, reading their vows to each other in front of the Eiffel Tower. Or that epic feeling of riding through a Parisian sunset in a vintage Cadillac. - Filmed by [Through The Glass Paris](https://throughtheglass.photo/) - Planned by [The Paris Elopement](https://elopement.paris/) - Length 5 min 29 s [See all our films](https://elopement.paris/films/) ## More elopement films - [![Bride and groom pose with two girls holding white bouquets before the Eiffel Tower in soft afternoon light](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W6uapp5JliU/sddefault.jpg)](https://elopement.paris/films/stephanie-x-michael/) [3:38Elopement film](https://elopement.paris/films/stephanie-x-michael/) ### [Stephanie & Michael](https://elopement.paris/films/stephanie-x-michael/) - [![Bride and groom smile on a Paris street, with bouquets and a grand stone façade behind them](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d1mzWzQ6_Nw/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://elopement.paris/films/jordan-x-matthew/) [3:40Elopement film](https://elopement.paris/films/jordan-x-matthew/) ### [Jordan & Matthew](https://elopement.paris/films/jordan-x-matthew/) - [![Bride and groom hold hands in a sunlit Paris arcade, her veil trailing behind](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lV4a11DjY9s/maxresdefault.jpg)](https://elopement.paris/films/sandra-deanna/) [4:32Elopement film](https://elopement.paris/films/sandra-deanna/) ### [Sandra & Deanna](https://elopement.paris/films/sandra-deanna/)
