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.

Jac at L+W was one of our favorite vendors. She was a total pro, and we trusted her from the very beginning. We didn't give her much direction or input about our aesthetic preferences, beyond a few adjectives, and she over-delivered -- our photos came out soooo gorgeous. On the day, she was a pleasure to work with -- quick and efficient, knocking out all the necessary family / wedding party shots and directing like a boss, then acting like a fly on the wall and grabbing some fun, spontaneous moments that are now immortalized. Most importantly, she made me (bride) feel and look my best :) Love + Wolves was super easy to communicate with, and they have great taste. Definitely recommend them for your special event.

We were lucky to hire Jake and Ash for our photography and beauty for our wedding this past June 2024 and give them our highest recommendation!

Jake was our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding, while Ash did my hair and makeup trial and for the big day. They are incredibly organized and professional while being very down to earth--just the kind of people you want to support you through this process.

It was important to us that our photographer capture the candid moments, like a "fly on the wall" approach, observing everyone and their surroundings. This is why we chose to work with Jake. For our engagement photos, my husband and I were initially nervous in front of the camera, but Jake knew how to make us comfortable and make the process fun. On our wedding day, he took incredible photos of us, candids of our friends and family, and beautiful scenic shots of the venue. One of my favorite shots is a black and white photo of us holding hands in front of a huge tree.

As for my hair and makeup, Ash made me feel like such a star! She asked for my preferences well in advanced and for me to send photos of my outfit and ideas. I wanted a warm, peachy dewey look to match our 70s vibe and she delivered! She did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, niece, mother, and mother-in-law and everyone looked beautiful. She is truly talented and able to adapt to people's preferences of all ages.

Again, I cannot recommend Ash and Jake enough for your wedding needs! Book with them and you will be glad you did :)
