We can’t thank Jack and his team enough for capturing our wedding and rehearsal dinner. From the very beginning, their attention to every detail was extraordinary. Jack has a skillful eye, not just for capturing love and emotion but also for framing the landscape & colors you are immersed in the most stunning way. They have the perfect balance between professionalism and fun, keeping things chill and creative, especially on a day that can be overwhelming. They went the extra mile to ensure we looked immaculate in every shot- from fluffing my dress and veil to adjusting bow ties! And of course, Jack’s legendary veil shots are epic. Their use of cinematic videography was incredible and spot on, allowing us to relive & feel all of the day's emotions and highlights again.
If you’re looking for an inventive photographer/videographer who brings both skill and a great vibe, Jack is the one!!

As an event planner, I work with vendors all the time, so I have high expectations when it comes to professionalism and client experience for my own wedding! We booked Jack for both our engagement photos and our wedding, and our engagement session confirmed that choosing him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. OMG, we are absolutely obsessed with our engagement photos!

What truly sets Jack apart is how much he genuinely cares about his clients. During our engagement shoot, I unexpectedly became lightheaded and almost fainted twice. We had to take a couple of breaks, and Jack was incredibly patient, kind, and reassuring throughout the entire experience. He never made us feel rushed and always made sure I was comfortable before continuing.

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and the entire experience was relaxed and enjoyable. One of the reasons we chose Jack was his stunning tree and nature portraits that first caught my attention on Instagram. His work feels natural, romantic, and timeless.

We can’t wait to have Jack capture our wedding in February 2027 and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer who truly cares about his clients.

Jack and his team have been a dream to work with since our engagement shoot, engagement party and now wedding. His photography is art and his ability to capture an event and moment in time is top notched. He was also extremely responsive, adaptive and flexible, even traveling to our wedding hotel far from his home location. His team made our event extremely more special than we could have imagined.

If I could add more stars I would. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos Jack and his team have been nothing but patient, understanding, him or someone else on his team will always get back to you. 10/10 stress free environment. Our pictures & videos are what we have to look back on for the rest of our lives and I must say I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else. Our memories are endless! Jack is very easy going, doesn’t put pressure on you, he knows how to direct which is so important for me because I’m so awkward sometimes. I really am beyond blessed to have worked with such great talent and grace. Jack has gone above and beyond for us, my husband and I are very thankful. If you are in between photographers just pick Jack, no need to stress or over think if. He’s fantastic and you will be so happy with everything :)

My husband and I booked Jack Bates for our wedding at the Ringling this past January and we couldn't have been happier! His team was friendly, helpful and accommodating. They were such a blast and super creative. Our pictures turned out amazing! We can't wait for the rest of them and the videos!

I came across Jack Bates Photography when I was engaged in March 2021, and I knew from that moment I needed him and his team for my wedding on January 14, 2023. His lead associate Ben was incredible to work with. Jack Bates' style is unmatched across all photographers. The entire night I was told Jack Bates' team did not miss a moment, but the beauty of it all was that I did not even notice they were there. I could enjoy my wedding and know that each component was captured through their lenses. I am truly speechless over my sneak peek and cannot wait to see the rest. You won't regret hiring Jack Bates Photography for your wedding. Invest in your photos and DO NOT HESITATE TO ADD VIDEO!!

Jack Bate's skills are UNMATCHED, he's simply the best-in-class when it comes to photography and videography. His assistant Kelly is amazing too, an absolute sweetheart. Our engagement pictures look straight out of a magazine, I can only imagine how beautiful our wedding photos will come out. Jack and his assistant Kelly made my Fiancé and I feel really comfortable and natural. They knew what worked and what didn't work, and were able to direct us properly. The quality of these photos are unreal. Overall, I would give him an 11/10. I wish Jack lived closer so he could photograph all of our milestones. YOU WON'T GO WRONG.

Jack and his crew, Bailey and Ben, were great. They worked through my daughters first look, ceremony and reception effortlessly. The preview shots my daughter received so she could create a thank you note were amazing. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and video. Jack is an incredibly talented and artistic photographer.

I got married April 20th, 2019 in Key Largo. When I saw Jacks work, I immediately fell in love with it. Not knowing he did weddings, I asked if he could shoot mine and I couldn't have imagined anyone better. Him and his team went above and beyond my expectations. I don't think they ever stopped shooting/working the whole day and night. They are worth every penny! Starting off I sent him some photos of what I was thinking and shots I wanted, honestly Jack is a person that just gets you, feels your vibe and love for one another which is what you want for photos. It was hard for me to put all my trust in a person to make sure he got the "right shots" once I saw how hard he works and guides you to the right positions, I put all my trust into him. They exceeded my expectations. Hire jack you won't be disappointed I promise!

I’ve lived and vacationed in and around Jupiter for 10+ years and I’ve seen Jack’s artwork around town. He has an amazing eye and skill for editing. When I hired him for our wedding, he was by far the most expensive photographer we interviewed but it was well worth it. We are obsessed with our photos from our wedding. He was so down to go anywhere to take photos with us. It made our wedding day feel spontaneous and adventurous shooting with Jack. We had so much fun! He got our photos back to us pretty quickly and had over 700 edited shots. There are a few shots that his assistant took during the ceremony where Jack totally jumped over the pool in my parent’s back yard to get the I do and kiss shots. It was amazing he actually parkoured across the backyard to get in the perfect spot and I never even noticed it until I saw the action shots. HAHA He delivered beyond expectation and I would definitely hire him again!! Thanks Jack for taking such good care of us on our wedding day!!
