Iconic locations regularly photographed: Place d'Armes, Musée des Beaux-Arts. For receptions, I work with Châteaux du Hainaut and other venues in the area — I know their light, angles, and constraints.
Logistics: 2h30 from the Oise. Day-before presence available for two-day weddings. Photo + video duo coverage option with my team for complete coverage without interference.

What our couples say
★★★★★"Tout était parfait"
Nous avons choisi la formule intermédiaire sans vidéaste. JB a réussi à capturer tous les moments importants de la journée : photos magnifiques, mise à l'aise pendant les photos de couple, discrétion totale pendant la cérémonie et la soirée. Personne ne savait qu'il prenait en photo.
★★★★★"Photo + vidéo, qualité top"
Nous avons eu Jaysphotography pour la partie photo et vidéo. La qualité est top, ce sont des personnes agréables qui mettent très à l'aise, souriantes, et qui font un travail remarquable. Nous sommes ravis.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work as a duo with a videographer?
Yes — it's our most complete package. Photo + video on the same day with tight coordination so neither team blocks the other. You leave with two coherent deliverables.
How long until we receive the photos?
30-photo preview gallery within 5 days, full retouched delivery in 4 to 8 weeks depending on the season. An email update notifies you at each stage.
Can we see a full wedding?
Yes — private gallery of a recent wedding (with the couple's permission) is sent so you can see the look across a full day, not just Instagram images. It's important to project yourself.
Do you shoot film or all digital?
All digital with two Sony A7 full-frame bodies. Color consistency, delivery speed and low-light quality (indoor ceremonies, evening parties) demand digital. Film-look aesthetic available in post-production if you prefer.
What if the weather is bad for portraits?
Indoor backup plan always ready (hotel lobby, side room, lit window). We also love rainy moods for unconventional umbrella portraits. Storm light often produces the most striking images.
