WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY — WITHOUT THE FUSS

I’m Jake, a Waco wedding photographer and filmmaker with more than a decade of experience capturing weddings throughout Texas and beyond.

My approach is pretty simple: create beautiful photographs and films without turning your wedding into an all-day production. I’ll give direction when you need it, help keep things moving when the day gets hectic, and step back when a moment just needs to happen naturally.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Natural moments, family and guest photographs, and beautiful portraits without spending your entire wedding day taking pictures. You’ll receive a complete gallery of your final edited images in high resolution with personal printing rights.

VIDEOGRAPHY

My wedding films are built around the people, moments, and emotions that made your wedding yours. Collections include an edited wedding film along with Premium RAW Footage, so you get to keep far more than only the moments that make the final edit.

Video coverage also includes multiple cameras, professional audio for your vows and toasts, and drone footage whenever conditions allow.

PHOTO + VIDEO

Want both? I offer combined photography and videography options designed to make things simple and cohesive. Instead of coordinating multiple companies with completely different approaches, your coverage is planned together from the beginning.

PERSONAL, STRESS-FREE COVERAGE

When you book Jake Gleim, your wedding is personally led by me. You’ll work directly with me while planning your coverage, building your timeline, and preparing for the wedding day.

I’m down-to-earth, pretty hard to rattle, and after more than a decade around weddings, there isn’t much that surprises me anymore. My job is to create something beautiful while making the experience itself as easy and enjoyable as possible.

BASED NEAR WACO • SERVING CENTRAL TEXAS & BEYOND

Whether you’re looking for photography, videography, or both, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.

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!

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!
