ABOUT PARIS
Paris is not a backdrop.
It's a feeling that exists nowhere else on earth. The light, the stone, the silence of a courtyard at dusk.
Paris rewards the patient eye. I've photographed couples here in the early morning light on the Pont des Arts, in hidden courtyards of the Marais, at golden hour on the Seine. Whether you're dreaming of an intimate elopement near Notre-Dame, a garden ceremony in the Palais Royal, or a reception in a private Haussmann apartment, Paris offers a setting unlike anywhere else. I know this city's light, its rhythms, and its secrets.
My approach in Paris
Cinematic, unhurried,
always honest.
I don't direct. I observe, anticipate, and disappear into the background until the light and the emotion align. And then I'm exactly where I need to be.
Paris has its own light, the soft grey of a rainy afternoon in the Palais Royal, the warm gold that floods Haussmann facades at dusk, the candlelit glow of a cave privée at midnight. I've worked here enough times to know exactly when and where to be..
My work has been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The New York Times, Over The Moon, and Magnolia Rouge. I've been named one of Rangefinder's 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.
AS SEEN IN
"JL captured Paris the way I always dreamed it could look, not as a postcard, but as the most beautiful day of our lives, with the city just happening to be there."
