Captured the day perfectly!

Jake was amazing, made us feel really comfortable, and managed to capture all the important moments of the day, big and small. The photos came out fantastic! We feel like the emotion and magic of the day was captured, all while making us look our absolute best. We would highly recommend him!

Book Jake and Julie now!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Jake and Julie for my wedding. From the very first interaction with Jake, I could tell he was professional and also very knowledgeable. I’ve never planned a wedding and let him know I didn’t have a whole lot of specific photos I wanted, and he explained all of his services and sent me an agreement in a very timely fashion.

Now that the wedding is over and I’m reflecting on my experience, I can safely say that Jake and Julie were the best part of my wedding. They were always working, interacting with guests and looking for more places to get great photos of my husband and me. Jake even fixed one of our groomsman’s suits (a button came off) and wrote in the one name on my seating chart that I didn’t have before I had to go to the venue.

I highly recommend booking Jake to get incredible photos of your wedding, and if your budget allows, add the second photographer (if you’re lucky you’ll get Julie too)! I’m so grateful to both of them for helping me move through the day and getting so many great shots of people having fun!

He also mentioned to me that they will travel, so if you’re not in the Richmond area, you can still book him! 🎉

Unbelievably Incredible

Courage & Co. photographed our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. They were professional, personable, the turnaround time was insanely fast, and the photos are mind blowing. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how great it was to interact with the photographers and only a week out from our wedding, we already have our gorgeous photographs that we will cherish forever.

Best photographer you could ask for!

Jake obviously knows what he's doing - he helped us capture little shots we might've missed and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Jake was very flexible with scheduling for our engagement shoot and turned around pictures from it the same day! Every photo was beautiful and well-edited. I would highly recommend getting a second photographer for the ceremony/reception as well - they captured the whole day wonderfully.

Professional, personable and fast!

Jake is very good at his job, especially at corralling folks for group photos and posing them just perfect to get the right shots. I was also impressed at the turnaround, we got married on a Friday and had our photos by Sunday. Lastly, he was extremely personable and I felt very comfortable with him taking bridal suite shots (he only popped in once I was fully dressed and we did a few fun poses). I highly recommend him.

Happy we picked Jake!

Really glad we found Jake -- he shot 4 hours which included our "first look"/portraits, ceremony, and reception; there were only 11 guests, but he still managed to just become part of the background and get his shots when we weren't doing the formal group pics. Everyone said how friendly he was, and we got our photos back in about 5 days! He also did his magic with a couple clicks of an editing button to make sure the tomato stain on my dress (yup, only took about 5 minutes after the ceremony for me to make a mess!) isn't visible in photos, and also edited out a couple cobwebs that were in the background of one, otherwise great, shooting location. He also knew of a place nearby to grab some shots within walking distance of the venue that we'd never thought of.

So happy we picked Jake for our wedding!

Jake was a pleasure to work with from our first inquiry to receiving all of our photos in only three days after our wedding. After looking through many Richmond-based photographers' portfolios and wedding packages, we selected Jake because we were drawn to his photography style and the value offered in his packages. Jake took our engagement photos and wedding photos.

Taking these lovey-dovey photos isn't something we were used to and thought it would be awkward, but Jake makes you feel very comfortable and gives great direction. He has a charming and laid-back personality, and has a great eye for staging photos so that the lighting and setting compliment the couple. Jake isn't afraid to lay on the ground to get the perfect angle for a photo. We loved his dedication to getting a great picture! We were also appreciative that he would listen to our suggestions during the photo sessions if we had a particular vision in mind.

The 1700 photos that Jake (and Julie) took at the wedding were so exceptional - really we couldn't have asked for more beautiful and fun photos. They captured so many great moments between friends and family and we are forever grateful that we will always have so many photos to remember the day by.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
