EXPERIENCE
I’m there to capture real moments as they happen, while shaping them into a cohesive visual narrative that reflects your personalities, the design of the day, and the emotion behind it.
I photograph weddings with intention and a clear point of view. My approach is not built around staged moments or overly posed imagery. If you’re looking for traditional, prom-style wedding photos, I’m likely not the right fit. I work best with couples who value thoughtful design, honest emotion, and a refined, editorial aesthetic.
As a Los Angeles editorial and film wedding photographer, I collaborate with couples who care deeply about style and storytelling. My clients are creative, grounded, and intentional. They appreciate fashion, architecture, and timeless references, not trends for the sake of trends. Their weddings reflect who they are, considered, personal, and designed with purpose. The result is imagery that feels natural, elevated, and true, photographs that hold relevance years from now.
If this approach aligns with how you envision your wedding being documented, I’d love to connect and learn more about what you’re planning.
To my Future Clients,
Your WEdding Vision Brought To Life
I am based out of Orange County, CA. I frequently photograph weddings all over OC, LA, Southern California, but I can travel anywhere in the world!
Yes! I am a hybrid film and digital photographer and have been shooting both formats side by side for years. Although I do shoot modern pro digital camera bodies, I anchor my style in the look and feel of film.
It usually depends on the time of year and how busy I am in any given season. I deliver an edited preview in 24-72 hours and my typical turnaround time for a fully edited gallery is between 6-8 weeks.
While I hesitate to label myself solely as an "editorial" or "documentary-style" photographer, I'm kind of both. The distinction between posed and candid shots can sometimes blur in my work. I don't always like to label things but the industry typically calls what I do "loose editorial." I aim to be present with my couples and their guests, collaborating to craft stunning wedding photos that fulfill their dreams!
My goal as your photographer is to make you feel comfortable and have fun while making beautiful photos. My process is easygoing and natural and I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
My full day wedding coverage ranges from $9,700 to 13,000. All of my coverage options are custom proposals based on your individual needs.
I think every photographer is very different, even if we have similar aesthetics. I'm just a huge photography nerd. I've been obsessively passionate about the artform for a long time and I can't go without it. Photography is at this point part of who I am and the way I approach a wedding is not just with a camera but with my whole heart.

The Approach
Artful Photographs of Absolutely Everything
It’s not just about the portraits or the ceremony. It’s about documenting the full scope of the day, from intentional details to natural interactions and in-between moments. I photograph weddings with a focus on depth, emotion, and a consistent editorial approach, creating images that feel cohesive, honest, and true to the experience.
Style
You've put hours and hours of planning and love into your wedding day and it deserves to be captured with the utmost of attention and intention. My photography strikes a balance between both Editorial and Documentary approaches. The result is a timeless, elegant, lively aesthetic that will make your wedding vision truly shine.
"Jake is one of the kindest and most professional people I’ve ever worked with!"
He knew exactly how to find the special moments we wanted captured for our wedding day and he knew how to wrangle our little flower girls and ring bearers :) he has the perfect eye for what looks beautiful! I would recommend Jake for any event you need a photographer for! Thank you so much for making our wedding day special and fun, Jake!

"I don't think it would have been the day it was if it wasn't for you"
Since the wedding I have been trying to find the words or come up with something so amazing to tell you. I have been so overwhelmed with everything you have done for us that I simply can not come up with the words. Like I have no words. The photos Jake, no words. Absolutely stunning, the best I've ever seen. The amount of compliments I wish you could hear from my ears are insane. You have some major fans from our family and friends and I will 100 percent scream it from the rooftops about how every person needs to hire you for the most memorable day.

"His attention to detail and creative eye truly showed in the photos."
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jake for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Jake did an incredible job capturing every moment of our special day. Not only were the pictures stunning, but Jake also made the entire process enjoyable. He was professional, friendly, and seamlessly blended in with our guests. All of our friends and family commented on how personable and fun he was, making him a favorite among our guests. In fact, they are still singing his praises three weeks later. We are forever grateful for the beautiful memories Jake has provided us with.
Juliette & Anthony
"We are so glad we chose him as our wedding photographer."
The photos came out absolutely beautiful. He captured all the little details of the day so beautifully. He also got so many fun candid shots on the dance floor that make us feel like we are reliving the night. He is truly a talented photographer. His photos are a work of art, rather than looking staged and posy. We could tell how passionate he is about film photography, and it shows through his photos. Jake was also very kind and made us feel super comfortable. Throughout the entire process he was always quick to respond and answer any questions. 10/10 recommend!
