I'm Jill and I am thrilled to have you here!!
First off, here are a few simple facts about me: I'm in my late twenties, I am in proud possession of two passports, I'm married to a handsome French dude and I LOVE to travel! I also studied architecture and urban design in my first life.
Of all the things there are to know about me, though, I think the most important is that I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY. Kind of an obvious one, I know, but it's true! I am in love with my job, there is nothing I'd rather be doing than to capture beautiful couples in love. I truly believe that being part of such a special day, and being able to witness love this way is a great privilege. I am very thankful for that.
I want to capture your love in the most real and authentic way possible. I want you to be able to look back at your pictures in 50 years and have the feeling to be right back at that exact moment and feel the exact same emotions you felt back then. I believe in telling the whole story, which is why I believe in full-day coverage on your wedding day. I will always be on the lookout for good light, beautiful scenery and emotional moments that happen throughout the day. I will also try to be your best friend on that day, because let's face it - that's just more fun!
I am based in Berlin, Germany, but I am also very willing to travel wherever you need me to be. If you are worried about how to communicate with me, don't worry: As a German/American I was raised bilingually, so communication shouldn't be a problem. I can even squeeze in a bit of French if necessary :)
Please take your time and have a look around. And if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me through the contact form! I would love to hear from you!
P.S.: if you want to find out more about how I fell in love with photography, head over to my travel photography website to dig deeper!
After the champagne bottles have been emptied, the flowers have dried up and the music has stopped playing, the collection of your wedding photos will be the only thing that lasts eternally (and your love of course:)).To be able to go through your images years later and remind yourselves of those beautiful memories is surely almost as important as the big day itself. I am highly aware of this great responsibility and therefore always work with the greatest professionalism.
Your story consists of many tiny moments,which can happen throughout the entire day. Whether it’s the bridesmades’ laughter while getting ready or the joy of the first dance in the evening, I want to always be there to capture those special moments. Because those are the moments that tell your individual story. That’s also why I don’t just want to stay for two hours, but instead capture your entire day as a whole. Wedding photos are more that just images, they shouldcapture your story for ever...
Following services will therefore always be included in your wedding package:
- personal meeting, discussing your wedding day
- 8-hour coverage on your wedding day
- family and group shots
- your wedding portraits (1-2 hour shoot)
- all images presented on a USB-drive (full resolution, no watermarks)
- editing of all images with great care
- online gallery for 30 days to share with family and friends
- print and sharing rights (for private purposes only)
I love engagement shoots. They are great for so many reasons, two of them being: you'll have lovely photos to use for a range of great things such as invitations, guestbook....(to name a few:)) and secondly, we will be able to get to know each other with my camera. This helps so much in preparation for your big day. Especially for you folks out there that aren't used to doing photo shoots every day it will be great to get some 'practise' in a more relaxed environment.
You're not getting married, but still want great photos to document your relationship? No problem at all. I love capturing your love, regardless of your relationship status!;)
From my own experience I can tell you: your wedding day passes by in a flash. Your loved ones came from near and far to celebrate with you and you want to spend as much time as possible with them. Sometimes it just isn't possible to make room for a full hour of photo shoot away from the crowd. Even though I do highly recommend doing the photo shoot on the day of your wedding (it's always a great way to spend some special time just the two of you!) I also offer after-wedding-sessions which can be booked separately. How does that work, you may ask? We just meet after your big day, you get the chance to hop into your lovely wedding attire one last time and we do exactly what we would have done on your wedding day: take lovely portraits of you.
Whether it's your already existing clan or an expected addition to your family, I love doing lifestyle sessions to document the status quo of your life.
You have something specific in mind, like an idea for a shoot, but it doesn't quite fit into the categories mentioned above? No problemo. Just get in touch with me and we can talk about the infinite possibilities we have to work together.
