Behind
the camera
Wedding photographer in France and abroad.
I live in a pretty village in Champagne between Reims and Epernay, 1h30 from Paris. Married and the happy mother of two little boys aged 8 and 2.
I think I’ve always had an artistic sensibility. But like many of us I listened to my parents’ speech. So I followed a fairly standard school path, then at the end of my business studies I wanted to follow my deep inspirations and listen to my desires. So I went back to school to become a florist.
A job that I loved but which I decided to leave by selling my shop which I had had for 9 years.
“I like soft, romantic and timeless images but above all images that resemble you”
by Julie Chef Photography
Photography Authentic and Poetic
It was a year before this decision that photography entered my life, even if ultimately it was always a part of me. I wanted to train with the best French photographers before embarking on this new professional adventure.
Today I can say that my style is a blend of authentic photojournalism and refined editorial art, with particular attention to light and harmonious compositions.
My contemporary and poetic approach is based on capturing moments of joy that are both spontaneous and composed to guarantee you timeless images.
I am passionate and dedicated, I strive to make each wedding as magical and unforgettable as possible.
My vision
I believe in the power of details and the beauty of spontaneous moments. Each look exchanged, each smile shared, each tear of joy is a story in its own right that I strive to capture in all its authenticity.
My vision is to capture the beauty and emotion of the most precious moments you will experience with an elegant and timeless aesthetic.
My approach
My approach aims to capture the natural beauty of each moment with an elegant and sophisticated aesthetic. I place great importance on composition, lighting and details, in order to create images for you that stand the test of time.
Every bride and groom I meet is different, it is important for me to capture the essence of their unique wedding day.
My goal is to capture the key moments and heartfelt emotions that make each celebration exceptional.
My inspirations
I draw my inspiration from my daily life. They are as varied as they are intimate.
Nature, with its changing light and magnificent landscapes, is an inexhaustible source of creativity. I like to capture the softness of a sunset or the purity of a foggy morning, integrating these natural elements into my compositions to enhance each moment.
Plants and flowers inspire me every day. Having been a florist for 12 years the flower has great importance. I like to integrate natural touches to infuse a feeling of softness and refinement into my images. Each floral arrangement becomes more than a simple decorative element: it completes the scene, highlights the emotions, and brings a visual harmony that makes each moment even more unique. Capturing these details allows me to tell authentic stories, where the beauty of nature blends with the elegance of the wedding.
The great names in photography taught me to see beauty in simplicity, and to use light and shadow to tell a deep and moving story.
The couples I photograph are my greatest source of inspiration. Their love, their complicity, and the unique moments they share on their special day motivate me to create authentic and timeless memories. Every love story is unique, and it is this uniqueness that I strive to capture in my photos.
Finally, my family is a constant inspiration. My husband and children remind me every day of the importance of connections and shared moments. Their love and support fuels my passion and encourages me to always seek perfection in my art.
Thus, my inspirations are nourished by the beauty of the world that I discover during my family trips, flowers in all its forms, the love stories that I have the privilege of capturing, and my own family. All of this is reflected in my work, where each photo is a celebration of love, life and precious moments.
My style
My style is distinguished by a unique combination of elegance, refinement and artistic sensitivity.
Natural light
I love working with natural light, which brings an incomparable softness and warmth to my photos. Whether it is the golden light of the sunset or the soft clarity of a morning, I take advantage of each variation of light to create unique and captivating atmospheres.
Careful details
Every detail counts in my compositions. From the textures of dresses and suits to floral decorations, including exchanged glances and tender gestures, I ensure that each element contributes to the beauty and harmony of the final image. These details, often subtle but essential, add depth and richness to my photos.
Visual poetry
My style is characterized by a poetic dimension, where each image tells a story and evokes an emotion. I love creating compositions that transport and inspire, where beauty and emotion mingle to form unforgettable memories. My work aims to capture not only the appearance of moments, but also their essence and magic.
In short, my style is a celebration of elegance, authenticity and poetry. Every wedding is unique, and my personalized approach allows me to create images that accurately reflect your love story, with artistic sensitivity and meticulous attention to detail.
