About

Wedding and portrait photojournalist Neal Jacob regards photography as an art form that presents a unique opportunity to interact with people. His easygoing nature and technical expertise encourage open dialogue with his clients, and his passion for creative, unobtrusive contemporary photography enable him to capture both natural and posed photographs of a wedding or event as they unfold.

 Neal photographs special moments in time, capturing tangible memories to share with family and friends. He observes, "Photography, as an art, stimulates creativity; as a medium, presents memories you can touch; and as a gift, blesses others by sharing some very special moments."

 An active participant in several professional organizations, he is often found taking shots of what he loves to refer to as "the beauty of God's creation." Neal lives with his wife Kathy and their three children in Front Royal, Virginia.
