About

I'm Jakob Christian Derner the owner of KosherNation Photography; we are based in historic downtown Concord, North Carolina. I've been snapping the big moments of wedding days for a few years now. I've been blessed to do this along side of my own wife, Allie. Our background in weddings started in the food service industry and catering weddings. We have worked all kinds of weddings; from the micro to the macro. Our style of imagery is a modern approach as well as how we interact with our clients.

Our company started in late 2016. In the beginning we photographed an array of subjects and events; live events, maternity, boudoir, new borns, etc... We shifted our focus to weddings and engagements in early 2018 so we could drive our company in a clear direction. Our first weddings took place in private home venues, farms, even in some little pubs. Since then we have had the opportunities to work in larger more recognized venues.

KosherNation Photography offers a wide varitey of wedding day packages. Our base package starts from ceremony only, all the way up to entire day coverage. We aim to keep our prices competitive by focusing on digital delivery versus print sales and products. There are al a carte offerings for prints if that is something that is desired.

We service the Greater Charlotte Metro Area without any traveling fee's. Area's outside our main service area are subject to travel fee's. We are also available for destination weddings. If you are looking to get away we definitely want to come with you!

Amazing Experience

KosherNation arrived early and got set up, did light testing and was great from start to finish. Took photos outside and inside giving great directions and also allowed us to have some fun with poses of our own and even took some photo suggestions from us. Great experience!

Personality is everything!

Jakob is literally the most fun to interact with! He's not too much but just loose enough to make you feel comfortable. Professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I don't know if I would recommend anyone else! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Breathtaking Photos & Amazing Service

We hired KosherNation as our wedding photographers and were blown away with their professionalism, flexibility, intuitiveness, and natural ability to capture our most favorite moments. We would have never known it was their first time shooting a wedding. They were involved in every aspect of our ceremony, reception, and after party, but often times we didn’t even notice their presence. They were so encouraging and helped us to laugh and have a good time. Taking pictures with a large group of family members can be stressful, but with both Jakob and Allie shooting from different angles it seemed to fly by without a hitch. KosherNation went above and beyond to take shots from their artistic eye’s view that we never could have even imagined. In addition to the breathtaking shots they captured, they also got every shot from our desired “Pinterest-worthy” list. We would HIGHLY recommend KosherNation for any bride & groom and can’t wait to hire them again in the future for other special life events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
