Sweetlife Photography

We had a perfect experience with Jake and Anna throughout the entire wedding process! They were super flexible with the engagement shoot despite bad weather at the Oregon Coast forcing multiple reschedules. Prior to the wedding they helped us plan out every important shot for the big day. Jake and Anna are true professionals and know how to make a wedding day run smoothly and on-time, which took a lot of stress off of us during the event. The photos we got back were so magical - definitely recommend Sweetlife Photography to any couples planning their dream wedding. Thank you Jake and Anna!

Jake and Anna are awesome! I loved working with them for our wedding day photos. They are great with communication and were in contact with me - from the initial emails to the confirmations to scheduling the whole day out from the morning to the evening. They made the planning and the actual wedding day extremely stress free. They were so friendly, sweet, and attentive. I loved all their shots and their attention to detail. Very easy to work with and we would choose them 100x over!

Jake and Anna at Sweetlife are phenomenal! It was such a privilege to have them photograph our wedding. Their work is timeless and ethereal - but their care and support goes above and beyond.

I was a 2020 out-of-town bride which made for many unfortunate complications. I was unable to visit the venue before the wedding, so Anna helped me with the planning and organization of the space. I could not have pulled it off without her; her advice and expertise were invaluable. They lead the creation of the coordination timeline as well, which was extremely helpful in the planning stage. I had booked with Sweetlife prior to the lockdowns, and they were so accommodating of us pushing our wedding date not once, but twice. They met with me several times as the vision of our wedding changed over the two years and I am extremely grateful for their patience and flexibility. From two dogs to a new baby, they didn't bat an eye!

And the photos - the photos are AMAZING! We will cherish them for our lifetime. Jake and Anna have a magic touch and are able to capture the emotion and feeling of the day in a wonderful way. They were so fantastic to work with and made every aspect of the process so smooth and easy. They have such a calm and easygoing presence which helped us enjoy our wedding day without the chaos. We are eternally grateful to have had the privilege of them photographing our wedding.

Our number one priority in preparing for our wedding was booking Jake and Anna to capture our day. We began as fans of their work and we were thrilled to see how they'd photograph our wedding. Leading up to the wedding they were excellent at communicating and planning with. We recommend booking your engagement photos through them too, as it was a preview of how they'd direct and capture the big day.

Flash forward to the wedding and their photos exceeded our expectations. Their calming and professional presence on the day of is the exact energy you want around you and your loved ones. I am not someone who is not well practiced in front of the camera, and Jake and Anna make you feel at ease–something our families noted too.

If you want to start your wedding planning off on the right foot, book these two. You are in the best of hands. We are grateful for our time with them. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives!

Where to even begin.. Jake and Anna were the superstars of our wedding!! Choosing a photographer can be challenging because you are also choosing the people you will be spending the majority of your wedding day with. We loved Jake and Anna and we feel so lucky that we chose them. My husband and I are both uncomfortable in front of a camera and they made it comfortable and fun for us and helped us with posing (for every shot!!!). They were so detail oriented and you can definitely see that with each photo they take. I have always thought that I would like only a small percentage of my wedding photos- but i was so wrong!!! I am not embellishing this because of the review but I truly LOVE every single photo we got back (close to 1000). They did such an amazing job and the care and detail they put into every shot shines through in the finished photos. These photos are a treasure to us and I cannot wait to look at them for the rest of our lives. My only advice for working with Jake and Anna is to hire both of them! They worked so well together and it was so nice to have extra hands to help with fixing my dress, or telling me how to pose, and the added bonus of extra photos! If you are considering hiring Jake and Anna- just do it! You will have the best experience and the best photos. They are amazing and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We loved having Sweetlife as our photographers! They were one of the first vendors we booked and I’m so glad we did! They are true professionals and helped us with so much more than just providing beautiful photos.

STOP looking for a photographer and go with Jake and Anna. Like many people planning a wedding, I had zero experience doing so. Jake and Anna were recommended by a friend, and from our first Zoom meeting, I knew they were the only option for us. Jake photographed our engagement pictures and was super flexible with us on dates and location (and in the end, made our windy, 50 degree day in the Gorge look warm and romantic!). Both Jake and Anna's deep knowledge of weddings and the wedding industry helped ease my wedding stress, and both of them have incredible photography skills (we paid to have a second shooter on our wedding day). Between their knowledge, skill, warmth, and professional nature, there will be zero regrets if you choose Jake and Anna as your wedding photographers. I cherish our photos and look forward to the reminiscing on our special day for years to come, thanks to Sweetlife Photography.

Before we even met Jake and Anna, we wanted them to be our wedding photographers. Their style of photography and their eye for beauty is unique - light, timeless, and airy. They sure know how to capture raw emotion and the natural light. From the first meeting with Jake, we were hooked on his passion for his craft. The sheer quality Jake and Anna offer is unlike other photographers. Their eye for detail is incredible! The two immediately put us at ease, and we were overjoyed to have such a dynamic married duo who genuinely loves each other. Role models for a long-lasting marriage!

Jake and Anna helped us work through our timeline, and they were super professional throughout the six months. On wedding day, temperatures were in the mid-40’s and it rained during our first look (but they had reminded us to get clear umbrellas!) – but you would never know with how Jake and Anna captured our day that it had stormed. Incredible and organized team, and I couldn’t recommend them more!

Jake and Anna were amazing! They were super responsive to all our emails, and we were able to set up a time to talk over Zoom and discuss general plans for our wedding. At the time we contacted them, we had barely gotten a venue booked, much less planned anything substantial. They were very easygoing about it! We got a great timeline that was super detailed once things got closer to the date, and it was really helpful to see when and where everything was happening, in a very easy to read manner.

Also - Jake is one of the most talented photographers we’ve ever met! We just got the pictures from them last week, and they are BEAUTIFUL. He perfectly captured both the people/emotions of the day, as well as the beauty of the scenery around us. We are so thrilled with them. He was easy to work with, and somehow got great pictures while also not being intrusive at all! We will definitely request to work with them again in the future, and 100% recommend them to anyone planning to get married in the PNW.

Truly the best decision you can make is to hire SweetLife to photograph your wedding. The memories they beautiful capture are worth every penny!

So I have to admit, I didn't find Sweetlife on my own. We had booked our venue in Cannon Beach and immediately I went looking for a photographer, knowing how difficult it is to get a photographer booked on a Saturday during wedding season. Sweetlife came up as a recommendation and I mass messaged them in addition to a few others. Jake responded super quickly and told us that he and Anna were available on our wedding day and that they had done weddings at our venue before. He attached some pictures from a past wedding for us to get a sample of their work on the Oregon coast. From the second I saw those photos I was hooked - and knew immediately that we had to have Sweetlife as our photographer! When we met virtually with them over Zoom, that solidified it! Jake and Anna are both SO nice, friendly, professional, and such an amazing team to work with. I hadn't worked out a lot of the details of the wedding day and they were super understanding and helpful whenever I had questions.

Like many other couples, we had to not only reschedule our wedding but also our engagement shoot due to COVID - the latter MULTIPLE times as the PNW experienced fun weather such as storms and smoke. We'll always appreciate Sweetlife being so understanding throughout the entire process and for the quick response times.

Neither my husband nor I love getting photographed and so we aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Jake is so easygoing, nice, and good at lightening the mood that it was much less stressful than it could've been for sure! The engagement shoot really paved the way for our wedding day - which was an actual dream come true. Because we had Sweetlife there, our day is now captured beautifully for the rest of our lives. I was in tears when I saw our pictures for the first time. Jake is supremely talented and fit in so naturally among our friends and family that it didn't feel awkward being photographed. The day does truly go by so fast, like everyone says, so we're so happy that he also got some really great pictures of our guests too! We especially loved the romantic first look and sunset pictures he captured.

We were amazed to hear that both Jake and Anna shoot using film during our initial Zoom meeting. The pictures definitely have a quality to them that you don't see with digital pictures anymore.

We recommend Sweetlife in a heartbeat! 10/10 one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Jake and Anna were amazing to work with from day 1. My wife and I really appreciated how organized they were. Their experience shined throughout the planning process. Initially they took some time to understand our story, then closer to the wedding they helped us plan for some important details we had initially skipped over.

On the wedding day, Jake worked with both focus and determination to get the best shots. Photos can be awkward, but everything had a free flowing feel to it. My wife and I absolutely love the photos from the wedding and festivities afterwards. Would highly recommend working with Jake and Anna!

My husband and I booked Sweetlife Photography for our wedding in October 2020. I had previously been apart of a wedding that they photographed and loved how creative and personable they were. I crossed my fingers that they would be available for our big day.... We had a special request as we dreamed of a private ceremony. Whoever we had as our photographers would also serve as our witnesses. Jake and Anna had never served as witnesses so this was a fun new experience for them. I could not have thought of a better couple to not only capture every moment but also sign our wedding certificate.

Jake and Anna were so detailed and responsive with all the planning and flexibility needed due to COVID. They were amazing on our wedding day and I love all of the photos. They captured all of the small details, the venue, and multiple angles of all of the special moments. We also loved the first look pictures and the timeline they were able to create of our ceremony with pictures.

After the ceremony, they joined us at our dinner party for a little while to ensure that we got photos with our guests. They made sure that we had an image of every moment throughout the day! They also were very good about communicating when we could get images, a sneak peek and also have since followed up with social posts and sharing our wedding photos.

If I ever need a photographer for another event or special moment, I will for sure be booking Sweetlife with Jake and Anna!

We worked with Jake & Anna for both our wedding, and our engagement photos, and I have never once looked back. They captured our special day absolutely beautifully, and were a dream to work with, from start to finish. When we were originally choosing a wedding photographer, we actually didn’t know that we wanted film (or some hybrid of) photography. After countless hours of research, we landed on film for its timelessness, and the beautiful color and softness that it brings to photos. We interviewed multiple photographers, but knew immediately after our first meeting that Jake & Anna were “the ones!” They are masters of their craft, producing consistently beautiful photos time and time again, but they are so much more than that. We chose them because we fell in love with their hearts, and their unique passion for encouraging and supporting their couples in their lives and in their marriages.

As you probably know, wedding planning can be an extremely stressful time. For us, this was compounded by the fact that we were planning a wedding during COVID, and I was in medical school. Jake & Anna were the vendors that we never had to worry about. They remained calm, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. They were extremely organized, easy to communicate with, and made our day better than it would’ve been without them. They’re not just amazing photographers, but just incredible people who we could trust, go to for advice, and who supported us endlessly. We would choose them time and time again, and are so grateful that our paths crossed!

Jake and Anna were one of our favorite, if not our our favorite , decision we made during the overwhelming search for wedding vendors. Not only do they produce the most beautiful photographs, Jake and Anna are incredibly kind and helpful, and eased our way during the entire process of working with them. Their experience and network in the wedding industry allowed Jake and Anna to provide us great advice and recommendations for those overwhelming decisions, and, most importantly, the necessary structure to our wedding day. Jake and Anna are undoubtedly skilled in their craft, professional, responsive and timely, all while making us feel like close friends as they captured the most meaningful moments of our lives. We are so blessed to have such breathtaking photographs to remember our special day. We recommend Sweetlife Photography to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Jake and Anna! Jaime and Abe :)
