Founder of JBJ Pictures

“Born and raised in Paris, I grew up surrounded by couture, artistry, and timeless design while watching my mother create wedding gowns for Christian Lacroix. That world trained my eye for elegance, natural beauty, and refined storytelling. It is the foundation of the French inspired style my team and I are known for today. Couples describe our work as light, romantic, and beautifully true to the day. We guide you with calm direction, capture the moments that matter, and create photographs that feel timeless for years to come.”
