About

Whether you’re getting ready before your big day, having an intimate first look, or dancing the night away with family and friends, every moment of your wedding day is as beautiful as the next. I want to capture these special moments in their truest, most authentic, and most honest form.

I love capturing all the natural moments of your wedding day. The day is about the two of you coming together as one, and I want to document your love and create that story for both of you to relive and cherish forever.

My style is bright and colorful, mixing the best elements of both documentary and editorial photography. The emotion, details, and memories are all given equal attention, producing a full visual story of your special day.

Loving adventure and travel, I am more than ready for destinations across the globe.

Worth every penny!

Jared is the best photographer in the area. He has an approachable, laid back demeanor, so you feel comfortable and relaxed and the results are beautiful and natural photos! He is timely and delivers an organized, edited portfolio with over 500 photos in 4 weeks. He is patient with questions and responds quickly. Although he can seem on the expensive side, you get what you pay for, Jared is worth every penny and you can trust him on your special day!

Exceptional!

My wife and I are wanderlusts from Michigan. We married at a historic bed and breakfast outside Harrisonburg, Virginia – 10 hours from home. Our wedding planner recommended several local photographers. We reviewed the online portfolios for each photographer as a practical exercise. We knew Jared was "our guy" as soon as we viewed his work. We loved his vivid and clean photos, which still managed a tremendous amount of contrast and depth.

Working with Jared is an easy and efficient experience. He communicated promptly via e-mail. We were able to sign our contract with him electronically. He worked directly with our wedding planner to handle logistics for the big day. Jared's laid-back and personable demeanor makes it easy to relax for photos. He had great suggestions for poses and photogenic locations. He was flexible and accommodating to last-minute requests. Impressively, Jared earned smiles from even our most stoic family members.

It took about 3.5 weeks to receive our completed wedding gallery. Jared had set proper expectations for us, but it was hard to stay patient. We couldn't open the link fast enough when they arrived! Our photos -- all 532 of them -- were well worth the wait. We had high expectations, and Jared exceeded all of them.

Emily and I enjoyed a magical wedding day that was perfect for us, and it's a memory we'll cherish for the rest of our lives together. Thank you, Jared, for expertly and beautifully capturing those moments so we may relive them time and time again.

Phenomenal Photographer!

[EDIT] While there are a lot of things that had to change about our wedding due to Covid-19, Jared was been there for us through it all. Instead of doing an engagement shoot like we had originally planned, Jared agreed to come to our family-only wedding ceremony on July 4th, 2020 (a holiday weekend!) after we decided to postpone our reception. Our entire family could not be more pleased with his INCREDIBLE photos of this very special day. He made my husband and me feel comfortable the entire time, which is a big deal because we're usually a little awkward in photos. I love how Jared kept the photos colorful and bright, capturing how beautiful it felt in the moment.
We just had our reception, and Jared came through again with INCREDIBLE photos. We had an amazing day, one worth waiting for, and I'm so grateful that Jared was able to capture how joyful everyone was, and how happy my husband and I were to finally have our day. Jared is a hero!
