About

YOU CAN REHEARSE EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT THE BEST MOMENTS ARE UNEXPECTED.

Whether your wedding is traditional or quirky, epic or intimate, local or halfway across the world, my role is to be the calm within the storm and guarantee that your photos will serve as a gateway to that moment in time. So you can relive your day, share your story, and keep a piece of the experience. Because your wedding is just one day, but your stories run deeper than that. Connections with friends that go back for decades, family members you've grown up with, and the love of your life who you'll build tomorrow's memories alongside. That's what your wedding is. Organic, historic, and intrinsically yours. And your photography should reflect that. Together with your personality, vision and creativity, I'll ensure that your wedding is captured, printed, and beautifully expressed for generations to come.

MOMENTS ARE WHAT MAKE A WEDDING.

I SIMPLY CAPTURE THEM, AND LET YOUR PHOTOS TELL THE STORY.

Fun, whimsical, and professional

Working with Jason was fantastic- throughout the entire process. We were first drawn to Jason due to his style of photos and his personality. It was so important to us to have photos that were honest and fun and for our photographer to be relaxed and easy. Jason was all of that and more! His interactions with us and our wedding guests were all warm and professional, he truly cared about our day.

You want Jason on your team!

Working with Jason leading up to, on our wedding day, and afterwards for our photo reveal was an absolute pleasure! Jason's professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched and from the moment we first met, it was clear we were in good hands. Jason went above and beyond - taking the time to get to know us as a couple, what our priorities for our wedding day were, and what moments were on our "must capture" list. He was receptive to suggestions for where we wanted to take our family and bridal party portraits and was extremely flexible and accommodating day-of.

Every step of the way, Jason seemed to have everything under control. After our ceremony, we only had 20 minutes to take photos at the church before another wedding was scheduled to start. Jason took what could have been a rushed and stressful experience and made it feel effortless. Throughout the entire day Jason was a calming presence. There’s bound to be things that don’t go according to plan on your wedding day, but when we hit those snags Jason was quick to adapt and reassure us that we’d work things out. He was relaxed under pressure and is exactly the kind of person you want on your side.

Since our wedding, family and friends have commented that it felt like Jason and his assistant were “everywhere” – there was a photographer present every time you turned around. When we got our photos back, we found gorgeous parallel shots where while one photographer was capturing a special moment between us, the other was capturing the looks on the faces of our families. They didn’t miss a thing!

We are overjoyed with how our photos turned out and are so appreciative to have had Jason be a part of our wedding day!

Jason Gets It

From the moment we had our first phone call with Jason, we immediately felt like we had made the right choice. A consummate professional and a great listener, Jason was able to answer our questions and understand our vision for our evening. When the big day finally rolled around, Jason was always there to catch a special moment but never in the way. Also we have to mention how he handled our big families for family photos with class and the appropriate amount of urgency. Lastly, the photos we received from Jason are surreal. Still images that capture the life and love that we want to hold on to forever. He did an incredible job capturing the “forgotten” or “missed” moments that ended up being some of the most meaningful shots of the night. Cannot recommend enough!

Captured the BEST sides of us

Jason was absolutely amazing to work with! From the start, he was so easygoing, professional, and organized, which made the entire experience stress-free. On the wedding day, he blended in so seamlessly that we hardly even noticed he was there — yet somehow he managed to capture every moment beautifully. He has such a calm, kind presence that put everyone at ease and made taking photos feel completely natural.

We were blown away by how quickly we received our edited photos — our full wedding gallery was ready in less than three weeks! Every image was stunning, from the big moments to the quiet, candid ones. Jason even stayed past his scheduled time to capture some of our after-party fun, which meant so much to us. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

He captures the joy of the day!

We absolutely LOVED having Jason as our photographer for our wedding! Not only was he a joy to work with, but our photos turned out amazing! He worked with us to make sure anything and everything we wanted to have captured WAS captured. He is the absolute best! Also, ordering photos of all different sizes off of the website was a breeze! They came to the house so secure we did not worry about anything! He also makes keeping the photos a breeze by having the ability to download them! 10/10 we do recommend!

Jason Was an Absolute Joy to Work With – and Our Photos Are Stunning!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Jason to capture our wedding day! From start to finish, he was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, friendly, and incredibly talented.

Jason was absolutely fantastic and the perfect photographer for our small wedding! From the initial contract discussion to delivering the final photo package, he was incredibly professional, friendly, and easy to work with.

On top of that, he made the entire experience fun and effortless—especially for our kids, who genuinely enjoyed the shoots!
