Reviews of Jake Holt Photography

Fantastic to work with; incredible photos!

Where do I even start with Jake and Kasey??? The short version is that they were amazing. We absolutely loved working with them and are over-the-moon happy with our photos; the experience was worth every penny. We were advised by several of our married friends to invest in a quality photographer, and it was a great decision. I can't recommend Jake Holt Photography highly enough.

Jake and Kasey shot our wedding in Denver in April 2018 and were wonderful to work with from start to finish. We liked Jake immediately from our first phone call with him; he was so easy-going and fun to interact with through e-mail, he responded to any questions or concerns quickly, and on the day we just had a blast with both him and Kasey.

As for logistics, Jake worked with us ahead of time to carefully plan the day photography-wise and get the permissions we needed to shoot in the locations we wanted, which made the day itself go so smoothly as we moved from location to location. Jake and Kasey also traveled to Denver from Austin early on the day before the wedding in order to allow for any travel delays, which reduced a lot of stress on our part. (We've heard horror stories about photographers missing weddings because of travel issues.)

On the actual day, we did getting-ready shots, First Look shots, wedding party shots at some locations around downtown Denver, formal family group photos at the venue, then the ceremony and reception. During the pre-ceremony shoots, Jake and Kasey managed to keep the 12 of us in the wedding party moving so we didn't get too far behind schedule, while still hanging back to let us have our fun and silliness (which they successfully documented with loads of candid shots). They made use of all of our time and kept us laughing, and basically did all they could to keep us calm and enjoying ourselves. (The champagne helped a little, too!)

As soon as the ceremony started, they basically disappeared (in the best possible way). I've been to weddings where the photographers got in guests' way or asked guests to move so they could get a shot, or otherwise made themselves a really obvious and obnoxious presence. Jake and Kasey just blended into the background, which was not only considerate of all the guests who we wanted to be there and see us and have the best time possible, but it also allowed them to get some amazing and hilarious candid shots. They pulled us out of the reception for ~10 minutes at one point to take some pictures outside the building that we'd discussed ahead of time, but otherwise I legitimately forgot they were there once the ceremony started. Which is--I now realize--exactly what I wanted from a wedding photographer.

Jake delivered the photos right on time, and my husband and I were delighted with them. Vibrant colors with a great mix of black-and-white shots, and all of our favorite moments were captured. It FELT like a fabulous day, so it was really cool when we got the pictures back and it LOOKED fabulous, too. And Jake continued to be wonderful to work with throughout the album creation process. (Spoiler alert: the album is also fantastic.)

HIRE THEM. It will be one of your smartest wedding decisions besides choosing your spouse.

Jake is an absolutely amazing photographer. He was incredibly easy to work with and captured every necessary moment at my wedding and beyond what I thought I even wanted. I get more compliments on my wedding photos and questions about who shot them than I ever thought possible. If photos are important to you, I would suggest you use Jake Holt in a heartbeat. I reasearched a lot of photographers before my wedding and no one came close.

Jake shot our wedding, and we could not be more thrilled with our experience from first contact to receiving our incredible prints in the mail. His eye is truly unique - the photos are great, and his customer service and general wedding advice along the way was absolutely above and beyond. Six stars!

Seriously the most amazing photography duo!

The highlights:
-quality, vivid photography
-awesome duo, two is better than one
-relax, they'll take care of the details
-pose coaching so you look your best
-quick turn around of photos

My now husband & I come from a photography background so we appreciate QUALITY photography as well as the ability to create it in a high stress environment (i.e. at your wedding because let's be honest, there are no do-overs if the first kiss get's missed)!

These two, Kasey & Jake, rocked my socks off! They are fun, engaging, and know just the right way to tell you to tilt your head or place your hand so that the shots come out better than you could have imagined. The pictures vividly captured our special moments and our personalities. They took care of any permits or planning so I didn't have to worry about anything and quickly turned around a sneak peek so I could enjoy & share a few photos with friends & family.

If you want a photographer that you can count on for amazing photos, this is the company to choose!

Jake and Kasey photographed my wedding this past weekend, and I could not be happier with their style and work ethic. I know their photos will be amazing, so I just wanted to comment on how great they were to work with. They were professional, organized, detail oriented, and kind. After working with them for a few hours, I began to feel like they were old friends.

They stayed on task, and Kasey was so attuned to our needs as a busy bride and groom, that she did things I did not expect a photographer to do - like grab us cocktails (I was a little stressed the day of), arranged shots so we did not have to be in the sun for long periods of time, perfected formal shots by removing purses, sunglasses, making meaningful adjustments. They were creative and also indulged every request I had for specific photos (under festoon lights, multiple sparkler exits, etc, etc) and did so with enthusiasm.

They are empathetic, cool under pressure, and are all-around wonderful. I hope we get a chance to work with them again someday!

We selected Jake Holt Photography for our wedding in Austin, TX in March. They did an absolutely perfect job! I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. We were looking for someone who could capture our personalities as well as the excitement and beauty of the day; Jake and Kasey delivered! The photos are gorgeous, timeless, and artistic, as well as fun and goofy at times. We talked ahead of time and they made sure to capture everything that was important to me, which included a ton of candid shots. They were also extremely responsive before and after the ceremony, and were so kind and fun to work with the day of. I will forever cherish my photos, and the stunning coffee table book with all of my favorites included. Thank you so much Jake and Kasey, it truly was a pleasure working with you!

I don't even know where to begin about Jake and Kasey. These two are some of the best in the wedding photography business. I don't even have words to describe how much I love our photos. Besides the actual photos, working with these two was a dream. They really know what they are talking about when it comes to their timing of your wedding day and are incredibly respectful of your priorities for the day. We really wanted photos, but also wanted to make sure we spent plenty of time with our loved ones. They were conscious of our time and looking back I never felt like photos were taking over our day. In fact, it was quite the opposite everything felt incredibly comfortable and calm and they were always able to adjust and roll with any unexpected punches.

I had a friend tell me yesterday that the "dance floor photos are on point." That is because Jake and Kasey are set up with all the equipment for every situation and know how to use it. There were never delays because they spent too long trying to figure out lighting. Everything was seamless and easy. Yet they captured some really epic photos.

I can't recommend them enough as some of the Best Seattle Wedding Photographers.

We knew that photos were going to be the one thing we would have after the wedding was over, and that we needed to be picky about who we chose to document our day, and we couldn't have picked a better photographer! Jake is absolutely the most awesome photographer in Austin. We are SO happy with all the photos-- from our engagement photos, bridal portraits and all the wedding photos, Jake did an amazing job. Super fun and professional, his photos are vibrant, modern, and timeless. We got to know him throughout our planning, and not only were we comfortable with him photographing our wedding, but we'd seriously considered hanging out with him after the wedding was over! Such a great guy! I'd recommend him to anyone!

Jake is the ultimate rockstar photographer!
Jake is a friend of mine for about 10 years now, and he just photographed our wedding in Houston on 1/22/11. The pictures turned out unbelievable!! Everyone is raving about the great shots he took

Proof is in the photo, as you can see on his blog (http://www.jakeholtblog.com/). He captures the most important, funny, emotional and sincere moments in such a way that it's more beautiful than you imagined. He has a great style and will work with you in any way - not making you feel "cheesed" out!
