“We had such a wonderful experience working with Jake! From start to finish, Jake was incredibly personable, kind, and patient… Throughout the entire shoot, we never felt rushed. Jake created such a relaxed and comfortable environment, giving us the space to be ourselves. That authenticity really shows in the photos—we were blown away by how natural and genuine they look…”

“Jake is the best choice for the big day. He is so kind, patient, he has an eye for detail, and he makes it so easy to keep things light and easy. Jake gave us the best memories from our special day and as long as we need photos taken, Jake is our only option! He’s wonderful.”
“The photos turned out amazing, and we both love it. The entire process was smooth and fun. I like the photos captured a story feeling… Jake really knew what he was doing and is very experienced. We would highly recommend him!”

What it’s like to work with me
From our first call to final delivery, my goal is simple: to make this feel easy, natural, and completely you.
Before the wedding, I help you plan a timeline that allows space to breathe and actually enjoy your day. We’ll also take your engagement photos to document this special moment in your relationship. These work great for save-the-dates!
On the wedding day, I guide you during portraits so you never feel awkward, then step back and document the real moments as they unfold. Most couples tell me they forget the camera is even there.
After the wedding, you’ll receive sneak peek photos within a few days and a thoughtfully curated gallery that tells the full story of your day within 6-8 weeks.
Why Couples Choose Me…
A calm, intentional approach for couples who don’t want to worry about photography on their wedding day.
I’m Jake, a wedding photographer who approaches the day with a calm attention to detail, so you can stay present and enjoy your wedding without worrying about the photos.
I focus on capturing real moments as they unfold, while keeping things organized behind the scenes so portraits feel natural and the day never feels rushed or chaotic.
With a background in engineering, I’m naturally detail-oriented and thoughtful about how the day flows. From timelines to lighting to the in-between moments that matter most, I’ll handle the photos so you can spend more time with your family. I bring a steady presence to wedding days by giving guidance when it helps and stepping back when it doesn’t.
If you’re looking for a photographer with a candid, relaxed, and timeless approach, and someone who takes the responsibility of your wedding day seriously, I’d love to connect!
