Tim Jeker Photography is an event photographer based in Meilen, covering occasions in Zurich and on the Gold Coast. Fixed prices from CHF 290 for 2 hours, private online gallery within 48 hours, travel up to 1 hour by public transport included.
The 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th – I capture the speeches, hugs and the big celebration, discreetly and without staging.
From unwrapping presents to the cake: genuine childhood joy, photographed at eye level and with respect for the parents' wishes.
I arrive before the guests, stay invisible until the big moment – and capture exactly that first expression.
A good birthday reportage tells the story of the whole evening: the decorated venue, the apéro, guests arriving, hugs, speeches, the cake and the mood on the dance floor. Along the way I capture natural portraits of your guests and, if you like, a quick guided group photo.
