Contact Jean Jacques Fabien

I've been a photographer for 28 years in the beautiful Island of Mauritius. Since I was young I have been growing up with the passion of images. After a few years into administration, I decided to live from this passion and tell stories through my camera. A Wedding is a story and the images are the words you choose to tell it. It's a poetic story that brings emotions and changes the way people sees them. The best compliment done to me was from a Bride who said that she does not like pictures and pictures does not like her. After showing her the images of her wedding, she told me that I made her lie.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I'm located in Mauritius Island. I do charge travel and accommodation fees if Wedding is outside of Mauritius
