More of our story:

Ten years ago, Jake discovered his passion for photography & videography, and quickly realized how irreplaceable a perfectly captured moment truly is. He started to receive so more inquiries than he could fulfill himself, spurring the start of Sweet Haven. Reaching even more couples than what he could handle as a single photographer & videographer started to become his dream.

Just three years ago, Jake's sister Madison was newly engaged, just like you! It was SO overwhelming for her when it came to finding a photographer and videographer that delivered quality and that she could also trust 100%. She knew her pictures and video would last for several generations, and to her, they were the most important part of her wedding day. Madison quickly realized how difficult it can be to find a team that has great communication, genuinely wants to get to know you, create a plan for your needs, and deliver quality.

And just like that, Sweet Haven Productions was born!

Jake and Madison's experiences grew in them a desire to create a place where couples can come and feel listened to, valued, and receive the quality they deserve for the biggest day of their life. They wanted to create a haven; a place you can come to relive and cherish the day you vowed your love and commitment to each other. We want to provide that for YOU!

The idea of Sweet Haven was thrown around for a while, and a lot of thought and care was put into creating this just for you. We created Sweet Haven because just like you're creating a haven with your love, we want to create a haven for your moments and memories.

Great team to work with!

I randomly found Sweet Haven Productions on Facebook while looking for a photo/video team for my wedding and I'm glad I did. From the beginning, everyone has been super helpful, kind, and communicative throughout the process. My husband and I love our wedding video and photos. We received a lot of compliments as well. We definitely recommend their services!

Would Highly Recommend!! 5 STARS!

I would highly recommend Sweet Haven Productions for your special day! The entire team made everything so seamless! From the initial scheduling with Madison, she was so helpful and patient in answering all of my questions and concerns. Raul did an amazing job on both the Engagement Photos and Wedding Day photos! He made us feel so comfortable! The wedding photos and video turned out so much better than I could ever have anticipated. Beyond my expectations. Again, both our Photographer and Videographer were so easy to work with! Jake was also always following up and the communication never skipped a beat. I highly recommend hiring Sweet Haven Productions! You will not be disappointed. Worth every penny!

Invaluable! Amazing!

I 100% recommend Sweet Haven Productions! They were initially so flexible in picking what we wanted to be apart of our photo/video package. They were fast at answering questions and it was an incredible deal financially considering that their work is so top quality. Our photographer was so helpful in making us feel relaxed and not stressed considering we were on a time crunch. They even pulled us aside for some shots of just me and my husband- which we wouldn’t have gotten if they didn’t say something since we were so busy. He was very sweet along with our videographer who I could tell was working hard to get beautiful shots. I also love the style and editing. It’s very warm and inviting. My friends and family couldn’t stop commenting on how well the photos turned out. Looking back I probably would’ve appreciated meeting our photographer and videographer beforehand but it ended up not mattering too much considering they were on top of it. Definitely pleased! Thank you!

Sweet Haven was better than we could have hoped for

The photos Jake took not only captured every moment perfectly but somehow captured the essence of the day. A wedding goes by way too fast, but looking back at these photos, I'm able to relive these moments again. The editing was beautiful and every photo deserves its own frame. Jake's also just really fun to work with, my partner and I don't like taking photos of ourselves, but he made it feel natural and easy. We can't thank them enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
