Send a message to Elsa Jaimes Photography

Hi, I am Elsa, an editorial photographer based near Geneva, working across France, Switzerland and destinations worldwide.

My approach blends a documentary sensibility with a refined, loose editorial direction — allowing moments to unfold naturally while gently guiding them into something visually intentional.

I am drawn to honest, effortless interactions, elevated through light, composition and a strong artistic eye. The result is imagery that feels both spontaneous and curated, where emotion and aesthetics exist in balance.

I work with couples who value beauty, authenticity and a considered experience — those who seek more than documentation, but a visual narrative that feels timeless and deeply personal.

Available in Geneva, Annecy, Provence, Italy and worldwide.

FAQ

What type and style of photography do I offer?

I specialize in wedding photography with an editorial and documentary approach, blending natural moments with refined artistic direction. I document weddings as complete stories, often extending beyond the wedding day to include welcome dinners, rehearsal gatherings, and post-wedding brunches. I also offer engagement, maternity and family sessions, all approached with the same intention: to create images that feel both honest and visually elevated. My work focuses on storytelling, light, and emotion, resulting in timeless and carefully curated imagery.

What are my prices based on?

My pricing is tailored to each project and reflects several elements: the type of coverage, the duration of the event, the location (including destination weddings), and the level of creative direction involved. I also consider the overall experience offered, from preparation to final delivery, ensuring a personalized and high-quality service.

Wedding coverage begins at €2,500, with travel expenses applied when relevant. Each proposal is custom-designed to align with the vision and scale of the celebration.

Where do I usually shoot?

I work both on location and in carefully selected environments, depending on the vision of each couple. Most of my work takes place outdoors or in venues with beautiful natural light, while also embracing more controlled and artistic settings when needed.

As part of my editorial approach, I often incorporate flash to shape light and create depth, always guided by the atmosphere of the moment to bring intention and character to each image.

I am based near Geneva and available to travel across France, Switzerland, Italy and worldwide, including destinations such as the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

How far in advance should you book?

Most couples book around 9 to 12 months in advance, especially for weddings, as availability is limited and key dates tend to be secured early.

That said, I always remain open to more spontaneous or last-minute inquiries when my schedule allows.

What if I don’t know how to pose?

You don’t need to know how to pose at all. Most of my clients feel exactly the same.

I gently guide you when needed, while allowing space for natural moments to unfold. My approach is about creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and present, rather than directing you into rigid poses.

The result is imagery that feels effortless, authentic and refined at the same time.

If you feel drawn to images that are both intentional and refined, where you can truly feel the emotion behind each moment, you are probably looking for more than just photographs.

My role is not only to document your day, but to create a space where you can feel at ease, present, and truly yourself — while quietly shaping moments into something meaningful and lasting.

If this resonates with you, I would love to hear more about your story.
