jill devries is a wedding photographer whose work i admire a lot. her sense of detail, light and the way she captures what happens on a special celebration between two people and all their family and friends is beyond dreamy, it’s above all things true and beautiful.
“the world is full of wonder. there is beauty everywhere, if you just open your eyes to it. everyone has a story that deserves to be told. love is meant to be shared, celebrated. these are the reasons why i do what i do.”
“my name is jill and i think i was born to meet people in their joy – to celebrate – to create art – to love big – to tell a better story – to soak up every ounce of goodness this life has to offer. i’m a natural light photographer based in grand rapids, michigan. my focus is on documentary weddings but i love to explore & grow in any area of photography that i can. i love to meet new friends and then make images that show how beautiful & unique they are. shall we?”
“a little more about me. proud michigander. i’m addicted to buying plane tickets (and also diet coke). my heart beats for fc barcelona. tina fey is my hero (charles & ray are a close second). sarcasm is my love language. mo money mo problems is my dream karaoke jam. perpetual wanderlust. cat person (don’t judge). obsessed with negative space. in love with grand rapids. almost always wearing black on black on black. trying to see the little things. celebrating wonder. grateful for this life.”
i love her work that i can spend hours just browsing through her blog and see the weddings and engagements sessions she shoots. it’s like being on those weddings and soaking up all the beauty around, all the love and smiles. the warmth on her images, the way she appeals to the dream without making those images looks unreal is outstanding. and i feel so inspired by jill that i had to share today!
i also went through her personal posts (i always love to do that with whom i admire!) and found out that she loves barcelona soccer team and traveled to barcelona last year, if i’m not wrong. i had to leave her a comment of course and i appreciated a lot the fact that she wrote me back! it’s always good when people do that, don’t you think?
