Jake and Julie were a dream to work with! From our engagement photoshoot, which made us feel at ease and comfortable, allowing us to capture some stunning shots. To our wedding day, where we were running in and out to optimize the unpredictable VT weather. As a bride, you spend months planning every moment, and for us, all of that planning went out the window with an unforeseen VT thunderstorm. Despite this, Jake and Julie made us feel like everything was under control and were able to pivot and coordinate with us, our venue, and DJ so every moment was captured. You pick a photographer from looking at their portfolio, but you pick Held in the Moment for their energy, professionalism, and ability to show up and get the job done beautifully. Oh, also having their sneak peeks while you are still dancing the night away!

Held in the moment is Serisouly the best and I will recommend them to every person I see or hear of having a wedding anytime . The two of them show up and get the job done! When doing so,they are so kind and personable,listen to you and are open to anything. They don’t make you feel rushed and are so helpful to get the photos needed even if there is young children involved, they know what to do. They work so hard all day/night to get the amazing shots. Also,the sneak peeks the day of are so appreciated and give you a nice taste of what you will be receiving and makes you even more excited to see the rest. By the time they leave at the end of the night there is that connection and satisfaction of having them there and all feel like family. I am forever thankful to have had them be the photographers at my best friend’s wedding and to have met them.

If you are getting married or doing anything where you would like professional photos done, I would 1000% recommend Held In The Moment Photography! Jake and Julie Ann were absolutely amazing! They were timely with their emails, quick to clarify any questions I had, and fantastic to work with! I am not a photogenic person at all, but Julie Ann knew exactly what to say to get me to look beautiful in the photos! And with Jake's personality, you can't help but laugh and smile! They are an amazing team and it felt like we've know them for years, it was that comfortable working with them!

Plus! Getting the day of sneak peaks for our engagement and wedding photos was amazing! They had a two hour drive home from our wedding and still worked through the night to get us our sneak peaks! Our friends and family were shocked that we already had photos!

So I'll say it again, Held In The Moment Photography is the way to go for anything you need!

Thank you so much, Jake and Julie Ann!!!

My husband and I had a great time working with Jake and Julie Ann! They were professional, timely, and captured all the shots we were looking for + more! They are both outgoing, personable, and a joy to work with! Highly recommend! Thanks again

Jake and Julie Ann were one of the best choices we made, hands down! They are so fun, insanely professional, and capture every moment you’d never knew you needed. They bring such a huge level of comfort to your big day, I don’t know what we would have done without them! 2 photographers, grabbing everything to make memories last a lifetime; meanwhile you can genuinely tell they’re enjoying the moments just as much. The attention to detail was out of this world and not a single photo was left imperfect. I would never recommend anyone more than these two amazing humans!!

Jake and Julie Ann are very professional but also very personable. They genuinely care for their clients and go above and beyond to get the shots you dream of. I had the time of my life doing our wedding photo session, they completely embraced the location and were wonderful with directions. Prior they were great with communicating with us regarding scheduling and were so, so helpful while I was getting ready. They are knowledgable and experienced with weddings and eased my mind when nerves got to me and handled deviations like pros. I could go on and on, but I will end with: BOOK THEM! I promise you won’t regret it. 💜

Jake and Julie Ann at Held in the Moment Photography are awesome people that do awesome work. They are professional and went out of their way to make sure the photos we got were better than we could have hoped for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

These duo is nothing shy of EPIC, OUTSTANDING, PROFESSIONAL, and AMAZING! They are so fun and are so wonderful to work with. We were so fortunate to have them be a part of our big day. Our guests were blown away at their work. Thank you Jake & Julie Anne!

Being that we had a destination wedding, it had taken us a while to research vendors and to be able to communicate effectively. Albeit, we had a little over a 2 year engagement but we wanted to book vendors asap due to our very popular wedding date, and because we were booking during the COVID wedding boom. Jake and Julie were nothing short of the photographer/videographer we were looking for. I wanted to try to keep photo/video within the same vendor, as especially being an out-of-stater, you don't know which photographer and worked with which videographer, if they work well together, styles differ, etc. I loved the fact that they are a husband and wife duo. Their communication was fantastic throughout the process and they really helped me in any areas I needed help with. I tried to keep them updated as possible on timelines, and they did the same. The day of, they were spot on with everything we talked about. We ended up changing some things around as it monsooned almost the entire day and night - but let me tell you - obstacles don't stop good vendors! Jake and Julie were so amazing that once the ball started rolling for pictures and the ceremony, I did not have a worry in the world about the rain affecting pictures. Also, I don't know how they did it - but the audio during our ceremony was surprisingly so good (I only say that because it just kept raining even harder as the ceremony went on and it was in a barn so it was quite LOUD). I was happy to be able to hear our officiant speak throughout the ceremony video because the nerves can get the best of you and it just flies by. Also, they were so on point and professional with anyone trying to intervene with pictures/videos (we love when family and friends want to get their own photos during specific events, but you need to let the professionals do their job!) They worked really well with our DJ and coordinator throughout the entire day and kept us in the loop or would ask our opinion on something specific, especially because we had to make changes to the timeline due to rain.
I loved the fact that they have a drone! Although we weren't able to have it due to rain, I had actually forgotten about not being able to utilize it because they are that amazing at their job! The USB was delivered right on time and we couldn't be happier with how they came out! I had no doubts about Jake and Julie from the moment we booked with them - I knew we made the right choice. I would definitely book with them again if we are in the area and in need of photography or videography, and will definitely recommend to anyone in need of their services!

Thank you both x10000!

I couldn’t have dreamed of better photographers. They made us feel so comfortable. They knew exactly what poses, lighting, etc. Even pulling us back out to capture the gorgeous sunset. I have only seen my sneak peek and I am already absolutely obsessed. I couldn’t thank them enough for all they did that day with absolutely gorgeous photos, helping keep us on track, and just being amazing people to have around on your day to keep things positive!! They definitely know what they are doing! I have been suggesting them to everyone I know!
