Thank you!

Jake did an amazing job capturing our wedding. We had both photos and video done by him and I feel like he worked better and more effectively alone than having both a photographer and videographer. We looked over a bunch of companies and his price and work far surpassed the rest. Don't hesitate to book, you won't regret it!

Hands down, booking with Jake was the best decision we made for our wedding day!

Jake did both the photography and the videography for our wedding. He was absolutely amazing! The photos and the video turned out absolutely amazing. More than anything I could have asked for. It was also so nice to work with just one person. My husband (I can say that now!) are not comfortable behind the camera. Jake knew how to pose us to make us feel comfortable and how to make the moments authentic but still very beautiful in the photos.

He also was incredible friendly with all the guests, getting pictures of our friends and family that we would have never thought he would have gotten. I don't know when he found the time to!

The photos are like looking through classic and timeless movie, they are so cinematic and breathtaking. We can't wait to print them big and frame them up around our house when we move in.

I've watched the video, like a 100 times. It's such a fun recap of the whole wedding day and he let us pick the song for our video so we found one we absolutely adored.

One of the most important details for us, was having all of the raw video, so we could watch the ceremony and our first dance, in full. Jake provided us with all of the RAW footage in one 3 hour long video that has all of the other amazing moments from the day added in. He informed us that it would be un-edited but to me it looks incredible! It all sounds incredible. We looked at other vendors but they described their raw footage a dropbox folder full of files and the last thing we wanted to do was sort through a bunch of clips. It was such an amazing experience to watch our whole wedding after our honeymoon.

Hands down, booking with Jake was the best decision we made for our wedding day! I can not recommend him enough!
