Jean Baptiste
Founder of JBJ Pictures
Growing up in Paris, France, I watched my mother design wedding dresses for designers such as Christian LaCroix. Looking back, this is where my path towards wedding photography began. On our honeymoon, my lovely wife and I drove down highway 101 and since then we've made sunny California our home.

Arslan
Photo Editing Team Leader
Arslan's attention to detail is unparalleled. He is a master of the intricacies of retouching and photo perfection. Outdoorsy and adventurous, he loves riding his bike around town, maintaining a collection of indoor plants, and (like Brittany and Alicia) he also has an adorable pet bunny named Booster! We're still trying to figure out which he loves more, his bike...his plants, his rabbit... or retouching photos!
