Jean Baptiste
Founder of JBJ Pictures
Born and raised in Paris, Jean-Baptiste grew up surrounded by beauty, fashion, and timeless design. His mother designed wedding dresses for icons like Christian Lacroix, and he spent his childhood watching her bring elegant gowns to life, each one a work of art. That early exposure shaped his eye for refined aesthetics and storytelling, which now defines his signature French style: romantic, intentional, and visually striking. Today, JBJ Pictures is known for capturing weddings with that same sense of light and happy style and emotion.
