Please refer to portolesephoto.com for updated work and pricing information.

Connecting with you and having the opportunity to step into your lives and give you something to remember your milestones is an insanely fulfilling experience that I can hardly put into words. This is not just a job or a transaction in my eyes, but an experience that truly makes me feel I am making a difference in this world. Those tear-jerking emails I receive from happy clients when they receive their gallery is what I live and breathe for. I am committed to creating an heirloom so you can remember the important milestones like it was yesterday, forever because I want to feel like this again and again and again!

I would give Jaki 10 stars if I could!

I would give Jaki 10 stars if I could! She is an incredible photographer and I highly recommend her for any wedding, event, couples shoot, ski adventure shoot, or pretty much anything. Jaki photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding and we adore all of the pictures - I have no idea how I'm going to pick only a few to frame.

She is very professional and is incredibly easy to work with and brings such a positive and excited energy. Jaki really gets to know her clients - their interests, their relationship, their backstories - and she captures pictures that are unique and perfect for each couple. Everything from the decor, to the first look, to the dancefloor hora - she captured the perfect moments and details!

Jaki is also great at making you feel at ease - which is especially helpful for people like me who are usually very awkward in front of the camera! She knows how to create the right vibe - whether it's goofy or serious or romantic. And she has an amazing eye for capturing candid shots that are full of energy and personality. At other weddings I've been in, the posed / formal pictures felt stuffy and took forever - but Jaki made them fun and was very efficient with time.

I also highly recommend Jaki's video services. She put an Insta360 cam (similar to a GoPro) on our Dog while he walked down the aisle and roamed around the cocktail hour - and she edited it down to the most heartwarming 1-min video clip that shows the wedding from our dog's perspective.

Big shoutout to Kramer (second shooter) who also did an incredible job!

Best photographer

We had a fantastic experience working with Jaki. When we first met her over zoom, we knew that it was going to be easy and fun to work with her. Jaki took impressive shots of everyone at our 60-person wedding - even people we thought would be missed because they weren’t at the reception for long. We must have looked at 20 photographers in the Seattle area, but Jaki’s pictures stand out because they are thoughtful and have a real candid quality to them. Jaki only puts out good vibes, so it was a lot of fun taking pictures on our wedding day. 10/10. Even though the wedding day was stressful, Jaki made everyone feel at ease. From our family to friends, she was the most talked about vendor of our entire wedding.

Unbelievable, creative, professional and happy

This was such an incredible experience working with Jacquelyn for our engagement/save the date shoot! From helping us find the right location and taking our ideas of what we wanted she nailed it. During the shoot she made us laugh and feel comfortable and was so helpful and creative. I cannot recommend Jacquelyn enough and will forever be grateful for working with her!!

Jaki is fabulous!!

Jaki and Sara shot our wedding in September and we are SO happy with how our wedding photos turned out! They complemented each other well, worked closely with our videographer (we so appreciated the camaraderie they all showed), and are all-around fun ladies to hang out with all day! They captured so many sweet moments that we never would have seen in the chaos of the day, and kept everything very natural and fun. We are planning on ordering plenty of prints and having an album made too. Jaki also sent us preview photos within two days (!) to hold us over, and all in all we had everything in one month. Overall we highly recommend Jaki, and definitely suggest adding on a second photographer - it was so worth it!

Captured the aesthetic & fun to work with

Jaki did a great job capturing our venue and details along with the people portraits! It was important to us to get a catalog of photos that reflected the atmosphere we worked so hard to create, and Jaki & her team delivered! We needed to get photos across a large property in a dozen different locations- no easy task- including some epic drone shots, and she got it all. Not to mention she made everyone feel comfortable and was super fun to work with.

Highly recommend!

Had such a great experience with Jaki! She is easy going and has such a natural style. I’ve always appreciated the more candid, less staged type of photography and that is exactly what she delivered. Also, who doesn’t love drone shots?!? I cannot rave enough about how much my husband and I love our wedding pictures. Now it’s just hard to decide which ones to put into an album. Again, highly recommend Jaki for any type of photography. She blends right in and makes anyone feel comfortable, even people who hate getting their picture taken :)

Jaki was by far one of my favorite vendors to work with! Her photography is amazing and she keeps you laughing the whole time. When we needed to change a few things around last minute, she was more than accommodating and assured us that she would make it work. We also had our dog as part of both our engagement photos and wedding, and Jaki did a great job capturing some shots with our pup. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for an upcoming event.

Jaki was awesome! She was really fun and flexible. We booked her for 8 hours on the wedding day, plus engagement shots. I only wish we had hired a second shooter to get all of the family photos we wanted. The photos were stunning and she made us feel really comfortable.

Fantastic photographer and great to work with!

We had a blast working with Jaki!! She was so fun, and put us at ease. She knew our venue inside and out, and had absolute confidence in herself and in us. The sneak peek photos we recieved three days later are already SO good. I'm sending them to everyone I know. I highly recommend Jaki!

Got the best pictures of us ever!

I and my wife had the pleasure of Jaki taking our wedding photographs. The photos were easily the best photos of us ever taken. The colors in the photos brought out the emotions and vibes of the day in every picture. We also had a sneak peak of the best photos in 2 days of our wedding which we could share with family and friends. Thank you Jaki for being an amazing person and photographer!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
