ABOUT EIGHT BELLS / THE PHOTOGRAPHERBASED IN MORZINE · FRENCH ALPS

A little about
the person behind
the camera.

HELLO, I’M REUBEN

A photographer, a mountain local, and someone who believes the best moments happen when you forget about the camera.

I’m based in Morzine, in the French Alps, where I live with my wife and our two children.

I photograph weddings and elopements with a calm, natural approach — making room for the day to unfold as it really happens. My aim is simple: photographs that bring you back to how it all felt.

Less directing.
More feeling.

I don’t believe a wedding needs to become a photoshoot. The laughter, the nervous anticipation, the quiet exchanges between people — those are the things worth remembering.

I’ll offer a little guidance when it’s useful, then step back and let things happen. I pay close attention to light, composition and the atmosphere, without asking you to perform for the camera.

That balance — being present without being intrusive — is at the heart of how I work.

At home in
the mountains.

I’ve called the French Alps home for over a decade. Life here has given me a deep appreciation for the changing light, unpredictable weather and quieter corners of these mountains.

For couples coming from abroad, that local knowledge makes a difference. I can help you find a setting that feels right, plan around the seasons and keep the experience relaxed — whether it’s a simple exchange of vows or a celebration across several days.

Different places.
Shared moments.

Having grown up between cultures, I speak English, French, Spanish and Hebrew, and feel at ease with people from all over the world.

I know that planning a wedding somewhere unfamiliar can feel like a big undertaking. My role is to make the photography side straightforward, from our first conversation to the final gallery — so you can spend more time enjoying the people and the place you’ve chosen.
