    Jack is an amazing photographer

    We hired Jack for our August 2024 wedding after finding him on our venue’s vendor preferred list, and we were beyond impressed with his work after our first consultation! From the start, Jack was incredibly engaging and communicative. He responded quickly to all of our questions (along with providing tips we didn’t consider)—even after we booked him—and made the planning process so much smoother. His experience as a photographer, combined with his excellent people skills, really stood out. Booking him was easy and we appreciated his detailed and informative website. He does offer many different services as well!

    After our initial meeting, Jack scheduled several follow-up meetings to get to know us better and understand our wedding day vision. He was always punctual and well-prepared, which gave us so much confidence in his professionalism.

    Working with Jack was a breeze. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and demonstrated a deep understanding of photography. We especially appreciated his versatility—he’s skilled in capturing both classic wedding shots and more technical, artistic compositions. As one of us has a background in photography (albeit landscape), his expertise was particularly impressive.

    We opted for Jack’s premium package, which included a second shooter, a lighting assistant, and additional perks. This turned out to be a great decision, as it ensured every detail of the day was captured beautifully. Weddings can be stressful, but Jack handled every challenge with calm professionalism. For example, during the post-ceremony family photos, there were a lot of people to organize, and things got a bit chaotic. Jack stayed composed, managed the crowd, and made sure every shot my parents requested was taken. He even found time to capture photos with all our guest tables by having them come to us, despite us running slightly behind schedule.

    The quality of the photos was outstanding. Every shot was sharp, well-lit, and edited with care. Jack’s background as a sports photographer really shone through—he captured candid moments and emotions effortlessly, maintaining consistent quality from the ceremony to the reception and dancing.

    We were thrilled to receive the final photos earlier than expected, just five weeks after the wedding. The collection included a fantastic mix of detail shots, candids, and posed portraits. The editing was flawless, with a natural and polished look.

    Overall, we couldn’t recommend Jack enough! His creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail made him the perfect choice for our wedding.

    Wedding Photographer

    We chose Jack because we love the fact that his background and experience was taking action shots! We wanted a different vibe for our wedding pictures against the norm, and we were looking for something more authentic, natural, and fun (less structured and pose-y). Jack fit the picture! Due to last minute time constraints, we had to change our photo locations from one instead of 2 and last minute decided to go to Palace of Fine Arts instead and of Legion of Honor. Jack was very adaptable to this change. He also directed us how to pose and where to go, which is extremely helpful because we weren't too picky on these exact photo moments and don't have that kind of eye to do this stuff. Him and his team are very professional and knowledgeable of best locations shots to take, which we are grateful because we have no idea. We saw some sneak peaks of his work that he took during our big day, and we already are in awe of it! We look forward to seeing the finalized pictures and photo album!

    My husband and I met Jack at a bridal fair and knew then he would be our photographer. From our initial meeting, Jack was friendly, amiable, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. He absolutely loves his job and enjoyed spending time taking our pictures. in fact, he wanted to take even more pictures than we had energy for...We have amazing pictures from both our engagement shots and from our wedding. It is also great that he gave us all our pictures with full resolution. We would definitely use Jack again in a heartbeat- and we look forward to having him take pictures at future parties and events.

    Jack was wonderful! Definitely recommend!

    Jack was a wonderful wedding photographer! He was very kind and professional. You can tell he loves his job, and is excited to take photographs, which is always a plus. He is great with using light in different ways to make your photographs look even better. He has lots of good ideas for interesting poses and settings. He also has you create a shot list ahead of time, which is really helpful and saves time during the posed wedding photographs. He works for the Golden State Warriors, so he is a very experienced photographer! He was unobtrusive during the wedding as well. We didn't even realize he was there! His assistant was also very kind and down to earth. Jack provided us with 1290 photos after our wedding, (which is amazing), and they came out great! We definitely recommend him, and we hope to work with him again in the future.

    Jack recently photographed our wedding and wow the photos came out great. He was able to get all the photos we had asked for and even some we didn't that my wife would have been upset if he didn't get those shots, so I'm glad he read our minds. He was very easy to work with, though his main job sometimes took him away, he always made sure to get back to you. We did have an error with our album, but after a couple of quick emails he fixed the problem and we couldn't be happier. He always made sure to step it up when it was needed throughout the wedding process. I couldn't recommend him more if I tried. He was very reasonable on price for everything. You need to hire him.
