About

Jack is a full-time professional photographer and a member of the National Press Photographer’s Association, Wedding and Portrait Photographers International, and Canon’s Professional Services team. I developed my style through freelance work as varied as catalog photography, commercial and tourism shoots, and newspaper and magazine photography.

I have photographed 35-40 weddings annually (mostly in the Charlottesville-area) for the past 20 years, and is well known in the community. In the 2025 season I shot my 800th wedding. He also has served as Monticello's event photographer, and house photographer at several music venues.

Best Experience and Amazing Photos!

Jack was so great to work with! He captured our December wedding at Mount Ida, and the photos are amazing! Many guests told me that they loved interacting with him - he made everyone feel included, is so easygoing, and took so many photos of us, our families, our guests, and detail shots, which all turned out beautifully! I feel like our whole event was captured perfectly through photos, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience of working with Jack as well as the results from both our wedding and our engagement shoot. Can’t recommend enough!!

Incredible Photographer and THE BEST to work with

We feel so lucky to have had Jack Looney as our photographer for our wedding at Montfair Resort Farm this summer. From the very beginning, Jack was professional, kind, and so easy to work with—he immediately put us at ease and made the entire process stress-free.

On the wedding day, Jack was everywhere without ever being intrusive. He captured every moment—big and small—with such artistry and attention to detail. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking; he not only documented the day but truly told the story of our wedding through his lens. The way he captured the light, the setting, and the emotions of our friends and family still takes our breath away.

Beyond his talent, Jack has such a calm and warm presence. He made us and our families feel comfortable in front of the camera, and he somehow managed to wrangle our energetic crowd with ease and humor. We’ve received countless compliments from guests about how wonderful he was to work with, and of course, everyone is blown away by the photos.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Charlottesville (or anywhere, really), we cannot recommend Jack enough. His work is timeless, heartfelt, and extraordinary—we will cherish these photos forever.

Made everyone comfortable and relaxed

Jack is so kind and professional and set everyone at ease. I heard from so many people after the wedding how much they loved him. He captured all the moments I asked for and the pictures are beautiful. Can't go wrong choosing him!

Amazing photographer! Book him already!!

Jack is so wonderful. From our first call, we knew that he would be our guy. He is so laid back yet still professional. It was easy for all of our guests to approach him for photos if they wanted. He kept an eye on the sunset and whisked us away for a few amazing shots. He quickly got the obligatory family shots out of the way, very painlessly. He even suggested another local place to go for our first look that was more private and so beautiful. He really looks out for you and what you want. Also, he works insanely quickly. He is really fast to reply to emails as well. You cannot go wrong with Jack. He did such a great job and helped us to relax. HIGHLY recommend him. Book him already!!

Fantastic experience working with Jack!

We could not have had a better experience with Jack as our wedding photographer! He's relaxed, creative, supportive, encouraging, welcoming, and an incredible capturer of moments! He traveled to NYC to meet up with us for our engagement shoot and we had such a fun time with him in Central Park. That got us even more excited to work with him come wedding day. He was a dream to work with from start to finish and helped us feel comfortable and natural on our wedding day. We told him that we didn't want a ton of posed, stiff photos, and he effectively captured the liveliness and spontaneous joy of the day. 10/10 recommend! Thank you, Jack!

We LOVED working with Jack!

Picking Jack to do our wedding photography was an easy choice because he had previously helped me with another project. He is so easy and fun to work with and so was his second shooter, Justin. They just made us so comfortable the whole time. The pictures they captured are INCREDIBLE and he had them back to me within a few days after the wedding. I really wanted to have some portraits but have the focus be capturing all the little candid moments of the event. I really cannot thank them enough for really capturing all the love from every single person present, I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life.

Excellent photographer

Jack and his second photographer were incredible to work with! From our introductory phone call, I knew that choosing Jack was a great decision. He was incredibly professional, communicative, and put us at ease on our wedding day. I do not love being in front of the camera, but he made it feel natural. I was thoroughly impressed with Jack the day of the wedding and was even more impressed when we received our pictures. I absolutely loved them - and he sent us so many to choose from. We also really liked his hourly pricing and flexibility the night of to extend the time based on how the evening was progressing. I would highly recommend hiring Jack Looney as your photographer!

The BEST! Authentic, gorgeous photos

Jack Looney stands out as a wedding photographer in so many ways. He’s personable and relaxed (while also so professional), making you relax and therefore have better photos. His photos are natural and capture the true emotions of the day. When we look back at our wedding photos 2.5 years later we still feel like we can relive those moments because the photos are so authentic. He works so well with planners and other vendors and is flexible. A bonus is he was also amazing with our big dog! I truly can’t recommend him enough
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
