JAKE


Jake  (Co-founder / Lead Photographer/ Papa Wolf / Editing Wizard / Alcohol Free)


After working under some of the world’s best known photojournalists, Jake discovered his passion for weddings when his cousin's photographer didn't show up. He shot it on the spot and instantly fell in love with telling love stories.

Jake’s philosophy for shooting is about capturing honest moments. People say looking through his work makes them feel like they were actually there. Capturing essence. His work looks and feels like memories.

Throughout his career he has been named a Rangefinder Top 30  Rising Star Worldwide and published across media platforms from Voque, New York Times, People, Insider and Metro etc.

Something you may not know:
Jake’s other passion is sound medicine. He professionally facilitates soundscapes for groups and offersprivate sessions. His favorite thing to do is dog pile on the floor with his family.


Don't think, just book.... Jake was the hit of our day...He was organized, helpful, pleasant and great to communicate with in the months and days leading up to our wedding...he blew it out of the water day of...he was on time, totally prepared, chill as all get-out when we were a bit stressed, and so excited to be there. Within minutes, Jake knew every wedding party member's name, which was when everyone started raving about him. The discussions of how awesome he was didn't stop all night, and still haven't stopped, especially because we recently received our photos. They are completely breathtaking and bring back the day in full. We are so grateful that we chose him. Do it. You won't regret it!

CAMCORDER DOCUMENTARIES

Jake’s passion for storytelling borders on obsession when it comes to older formats. When he got his hands on a Sony Handycam he was a goner. This shaky and raw aesthetic brings us right back to our 90s home videos. The in-camera audio offers an intimate behind-the-scenes energy that can’t be replicated. Jake can shoot just camcorder or as an add-on to his photo story packages.



SUPER 8 FILMS

Old school. Warm. Nostalgic. The ultimate analogue film story. The Super 8 format takes us back even further in time to the 60s and 70s. This film footage (literally shot by the foot) has an unmistakable feeling of emotion and history baked into the style. Jake can shoot just Super 8 or as an add-on to his photo story packages. All of the below samples were shot by Jake as he also shot photo stills.
