I reached out to many wedding photographers trying to find the RIGHT one. Ernst was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive any time we had questions. He reached out to us throughout the process, I never felt like I was waiting & thinking "what am I supposed to do now!?", because Erst was there every step of the way. He had great advice & suggestions. He was so much fun to work with the day of the wedding! He even took part in the silly surprise I had planned for my husband! On the day of the wedding, Ernst was everywhere & nowhere. Meaning, he was always there at the appropriate times, anytime I needed him he was a quick text away, & other times he ran under the radar grabbing pictures all over without getting in your bubble or interjecting into the moment. He worked together with all the other members of the wedding team to create a memorable & seamless day. I give Ernst a 6 out of 5 stars & an 11 on a 1-10 scale! -

Andrew Sent on 06/10/2024Thank you Ernst!
Choosing someone to capture one of the most important days can be a challenge. We can’t be more thankful for the memories that Ernst captured during our wedding. From the beginning of our planning, and even from our engagement photos, Ernst provided a sense of calm that helped us relax in front of the lens. Beyond his amazing skill as a photographer, Ernst also goes above and beyond with his professionalism. Planning meetings were a piece of cake, he scoped out amazing photo locations, and even attended the rehearsal to make sure the day would go to plan. Come the day of our wedding, we thought he might have brought clones along with his second photographer Shea. Ernst, how you and Shea spent so much time with everyone is astonishing. You were also able to capture so many amazing moments of both the ceremony and reception and I can’t even remember hearing a shutter click. Ernst also worked with deft efficiency when it came time for our formals, and made sure we weren’t late to our own party. We are also so grateful for how you and Shea stepped a bit out of your comfort zone and shot a few photos with my late grandfather’s large format camera. We treasure all of these images of our special day and choosing Ernst was the easiest decision we made. -

I am a wedding planner and worked with Ernst in October of 2023. Ernst was my favorite photographer to work with this season! He was very responsive to email communication and helpful with any questions I had as we planned out the timeline for the day. On wedding weekend he was kind, fun, and professional! I was so thankful to be working beside him! He will make you laugh, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and help make your day go beautifully!
Not to mention Ernst has a true gift! Capturing the sweetest moments of the day! 1000/10 recommend Ernst Jacobsen Photography! -

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer, just stop right here. Ernst captured our wedding day perfectly. He was like a ninja, capturing every laugh, every tear, and every moment of pure joy. His photos tell the story of our day better than words ever could. Ernst has an eye for detail, a knack for making people feel comfortable, and a price point that won't break the bank. Ernst, you're an absolute legend! Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully. -

Dinice Sent on 07/17/2022The man you want to take your photos!
This man right here was AMAZING, from beginning to end. From requesting his services, taking the photos, and presenting us with our photos.
His communication was timely. You can tell that he has done this before. Rodolfo and I sometimes have a hard time taking photos together, but with his guidance it was so seamless. Even with the family it was easy to take nice photos.
He can read a room and adjust accordingly. He was EVERYWHERE. For a one man photographer he got every single angle of everything that went on in the wedding. I got SO many compliments on him. Everyone kept saying “he was everywhere”, “he must have gotten a ALOT of pictures, I bet you they are all good”. Then when he posted a few of our sample photos I could not WAIT to get ALL of them. When I shared them on social media everyone loved them and so did we.
I also got my photos back FAST. Probably within a month or two I already had the digital and the BEAUTIFUL presentation box. I had no idea this came with it but it had a few large prints, a few small ones and wooden USB drive. OH, and the box had probably the best photo of us and what the day was all in a photo. (Talk about a pictures worth a thousands words). It truly was so wonderful to receive. Mind you he hand delivered this to us. (Talk about caring for the customer.)
For the cherry on top, he was reasonable in cost. He would communicate when he was having discounts due to holidays and we took him up on that offer and we DEFINITELY got our moneys worth.
I cannot thank this man enough for capturing our literally perfect day, and it was because his love for this art and the caring that he has for people that made it truly a wonderful experience. Thank you Ernst for making that day so, so perfect. :)

Charlotte Sent on 09/03/2021The best vendor choice you will make
This will be a very long and detailed review because we could not have been more thrilled with our decision to hire Ernst. I hope that reading about our experience can help other couples come to a decision they feel confident about.
When I was shopping around for a photographer for my wedding I felt a little overwhelmed. There were many options out there and I know little about photography. After showing a few different galleries to my dad, an amateur photographer, he recommended that I choose Ernst. I am so glad I took his advice.
Ernst was so understanding with the 3 date changes we had due to covid. He did not charge us any fees or penalties.
Ernst's services are worth every penny and more, which is amazing when you consider how competitive his prices are. He worked with us to make a time line that fit our needs exactly. He guided us through the planning of our wedding day photos with ease. He explained the entire process and more. He offered us tips that went above and beyond what we expected that helped to make our day run beautifully.
Ernst showed up early and stayed late. He was so flexible. Even though I ended up being 45 minutes late to our first look, Ernst got us back on schedule while still managing to capture all the photos that we wanted. It was a very hot day, and there was a moment when Ernst dabbed sweat off of someone's forehead with his own sleeve. What dedication to making sure our photos were perfect.
During the ceremony and reception, Ernst seemed like he was everywhere at once. We had about 125 guests at our wedding, and he made sure that everyone was represented in the photos. Every time I saw him, he was taking a photo. He worked hard the entire time. He was accommodating and receptive to suggestions and requests from guests. He was as professional as could be. He was right there for every special moment. Looking through our gallery I see quite a few photos where he captures the same moment from opposite sides, and I am baffled as to how he pulled some of these shots off.
I give Ernst the highest of recommendations. I feel confident that anyone who hires him for their wedding day will be in the best of hands. I have heard that working with a photographer can be stressful sometimes, but in our experience, Ernst was a source of calming and organization. He helped our day run smoothly, helped ease a lot of wedding day stress, and provided us well over a thousand wonderful photos. Thank you so, so, much Ernst. -

Kaitlin Sent on 09/02/2019AMAZING Job! We couldn't be more pleased.
Ernst photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, and my husband I couldn't have been more pleased with how our photos turned out. Firstly, Ernst is so easy to work with - he has both a fun and professional personality that puts you at ease, and helps you feel comfortable with getting your photos taken for an extended duration (which I think most people aren't used to, so that's quite a feat! Ha.) He is easy to reach by phone or email, and we enjoyed him simply as both a person and a photographer.
Not only is Ernst just a great person to work with, he takes AMAZING photos! He truly captured the essence of our wedding day, and took the time to make sure that we got the photos that we wanted (our engagement photos were gorgeous too!!) Our wedding gallery is a dream come true! His attention to detail and ability to edit photos to enhance, brighten, color correct, etc. are absolutely wonderful too - our photos turned out great thanks to Ernst! We are SO thankful that we went with him as our photographer, and we can't wait to print our photos and share them with our loved ones.
Thank you SO much Ernst, for everything! :-)

All the big & little moments captured
I would highly recommend Ernst for your wedding photos! He captured the day - including the big and little moments - and all the emotion perfectly. I couldn’t believe how many gems there were in the photos we got back from him.
Ernst went above and beyond by joining us for the rehearsal in addition to the wedding day. He helped guide the rehearsal which was very helpful - particularly as it was our officiant’s first wedding.
Many people came up to us to say how great Ernst was - from capturing all the shots to subtly getting everyone to do exactly what was needed for the photos without them feeling like they were getting bossed them around. A hard balance to strike with so many personalities.
Thanks for all your help, Ernst! -

Genuine photographer and stunning photos!
My husband and I are so pleased with our experience with Ernst! We did both engagement photos and wedding photos with him. He was so much fun to work with and listened to every detail we had in mind for our photos. He asked for inspiration photos ahead of time so he could capture our vision perfectly. It rained on our wedding day, but our photos turned out clear and absolutely beautiful. He is so responsive and truly wants to make sure you have the best experience. After our wedding- he surprised us with printed photos of some of his best shots. I have nothing but great things to say about Ernst as a person and a photographer! -

No One Better!
Ernst Jacobsen is truly the best! My older sister had engagement, covid marriage ceremony, and actual wedding reception all photographed by Ernst. After watching how dedicated he was to his clients and seeing his amazing photos, we knew we had to book him! Ernst drove out to Hobart, IN for our wedding. He came into town the night before and willingly attended our informal rehearsal. During the rehearsal, Ernst helped answer questions that had nothing to do with photography, but made the day easier for us. On the big day, Ernst waited patiently while our make up artist ran over an hour behind, and somehow, he still got us all of the pictures we wanted. He even stood out in the rain to capture some of our favorite family photos. Ernst is a communicative, adaptable, and talented photographer who goes above and beyond for every client. We cannot recommend him enough!! -

Wonderful photographer - DEFINITELY would recommend!
You cannot go wrong if you choose to go with Ernst! We first met him for our engagement photos, and again for a small family ceremony when we had to cancel our original wedding for COVID. For the larger wedding celebration we were able to have this year, he was fantastic as always. His professionalism and kindness are beyond compare. He is able to assemble everyone and is excellent at sticking to the timeline. Ernst has a keen eye for great candid photo-ops too. And oh my goodness were our photos AMAZING! Helped us really relive the whole day to go through them. No surprise Ernst did such a good job! We would recommend Ernst to all family and friends in search of a photographer. -
