LOVE + WOLVES CO

I cannot recommend LOVE + WOLVES highly enough (esp. Jake for photos, Ash for beauty, and Corey for video). But I would also trust anyone on their team based on how talented and lovely Jake and Ash are as the co-founders, and how wonderfully dedicated and fiercely protective they are of the quality and aesthetic of what they offer. I poured through these reviews and all of the praise is true.

Jake is an unbelievably talented and creative photographer, but he is so much more than that. First, he really makes you feel that he cares about your day and making it special. I called him in a panic THREE DAYS before my wedding as our other photographer had cancelled. What a gift that turned out to be because Jake went out of his way to jump in and make this happen, and I know he gifted us with a day that no one else could've done. He knows every gorgeous spot you can come up with like the back of his hand, and he is a master of logistics! I had a vision of starting out with photos with the Redwoods in Muir Woods, then doing a ceremony at Muir Beach Overlook, and then ending with champagne and photos on Muir Beach, with a send off of jumping into the ocean. All within three hours and before the sun sets. Jake made it happen! He had vision and ideas for all three of these spots and made a legendary first look moment that incorporated our first date hike in that same spot. Even though it was an intimate wedding, I realized the value of having someone keep everyone on schedule, we really couldn't have made it to all these spots in such short time without him. Jake was prepared for everything and is full of creative, spontaneous ideas that made various moments completely unforgettable. I could go on forever about how wonderful Jake is, but one of my final favorite things about him was that he has the wit and timing of a stand up comedian. We were seriously cracking up the entire day, which made it so much easier both to enjoy our day and to act normally in front of a camera, something that is not my M.O.

Ash was such a lovely and calm presence to have while getting ready. She was so responsive to questions and ideas I had prior to the day. She brings a full and amazing set-up and made me feel like so subtly glamorous, really fitting the style of my dress. Her makeup job was so solid that after completely submerging into the Pacific Ocean, none of my makeup even hinted at budging!

The day before the wedding, after reflecting more on the fact that we couldn't have family and friends there due to COVID, I realized how special and important it would be to have video. So when I requested this the day before the wedding, Corey was all over it! He had so many solutions for getting good quality sound despite our windy outdoor spot. Like Jake and Ash, he also had such a lovely energy and a hilarious sense of humor, so it was a pleasure to spend so much of our day with him as well.

LOVE + WOLVES will completely take care of you on your big day, and will find numerous ways to make it epically special. That is reason enough to beam about them. Thennnn we got our preview photos (242 of them!) less than 24 hours later and they are s t u n n i n g.

Jake and the team at LOVE + WOLVES are talented, lovely, and so fun to work with. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough.
