The Hague

Hi! I'm Jill and I am an enthusiastic, committed and genuine photographer based near The Hague in the Netherlands. I love unposed moments filled with true emotions, big love, unlimited laughter and all those unexpected awesome surprises a wedding day brings. My goal is to have every picture take you back to that special day. Photographing those special moments that make a wedding day unforgettable, is by far the best job in the world!

I've been doing this for a while. And after so many years of photographing weddings my values have changed. I learned, out of my own experience and out of that of couples I photographed, that nothing matters more than having family & friends in your life. That focusing on material possessions means having less to give towards experiences. That trapped in a house during a pandemic reminds you how you should have appreciated hugs more. That what really matters most in life are people. And the time we get to share with them.

I believe in honesty, I support authenticity and I strive for meaningfulness. I know memories can lose their edges quickly. And I know that memories are the only things we're left with.

I collect vibes. I look for photo projects that enrich the soul and have the potential to make the viewer resonate with the images and subjects. I like normal (or remarkably unusual) people. I want to make them happy, to help them relive their feelings just by looking at a photo, to remind them of the times when they felt most alive. And I do this responsibly.

We from Paco van Leeuwen Photography love to travel the world to document cherished moments in the lives of our wedding couples.

We've been making memories for more than 200 weddings since 2013. The beauty of wedding photography is that you can meet every type of photography and person in one day. You never know what you will come across. We capture photos with stories of new beginnings and old memories.
