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!

Kosher Nation Photography was wonderful

Out of our team of wedding vendors Kosher Nation was the best. They went above and beyond our expectations and our wedding would not have been the same without them. Highly recommended!
