One of the best decisions we made in terms of planning our wedding was working with Love + Wolves for photography and beauty. From the beginning, communication with Jake and Ash was clear and easy - they knew what they are doing and talk to you like an old friend.
As the wedding weekend arrived we felt immediately at ease with both Jake and Ash. Ash completely understood the looks I was going for and made me feel like a movie star version of myself (and I also heard this many times!). She has perfect advice for wedding day jitters and anything else you didn't even think of.
Jake was incredible, caught the most amazing shots and didn't make my fiance and I feel awkward at all because everything was so candid. Jake seems to let the place and day take him to the best shots. I could go on forever on how fabulous everything was, but do yourself a favor and work with these two to see for yourself!

The entire Love + Wolves staff was super helpful in setting us up with a photo package for our wedding in the Catskills (if they had video then, I would have been 100% on top of that). Natalie did our engagement photos throughout Brooklyn which were insane, she captured us in a way that felt authentic and flattering (thank you!). I honestly don't know how Natalie captured all the photos that she did on our wedding day- maybe a super power but she was everywhere! She captured my entire requested shot list and candids of my friends and family that were always thoughtful not just clicks on the camera. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Love + Wolves in the future, their aesthetic is so fresh in an industry of airbrush and overly staged shots.

I worked with Love + Wolves and Love + Wolves beauty for the photography and hair / make up for my wedding in New York in December of 2018. To sum up my experience: it was an absolute pleasure from the minute we spoke on the phone, up to the delivery of the photos. Jake, Ash, Alyssa and Nathalie were all very involved, professional, positive and form an extremely talented team.
Nathalie, who was our photographer on the Day-Of, has a special talent. She is creative and has an excellent eye for spots that make beautiful pictures. She is very calm and it was a pleasure to have her around us.
Alyssa and Ash took care of the make up and hair. I have to say that the result was awesome ! They listened to me and made me feel beautiful.
We received a preview of our pictures very shortly after the wedding which was a very nice surprise ! Now that we have received all of our beautiful pictures I can't recommend Love and the Wolves enough.

I am not going to bore you with a bunch of general comments on how wonderful our wedding was or how "everything worked like clockwork"... that's obvious. I will however will tell you about the amazing duo that is Jake & Ash.
The 1880 Union Hotel in Los Alamos, CA, seemed to serve as the perfect canvas for both Ash (who was in charge of Hair and Make-up) and Jake (photography). They both made us feel like a King and Queen for the entire day, and focused on capturing every REAL moment of our wedding day. If I could, I would turn back time and relive it all over again without changing a thing!
The results... well, take a look at some of these photos and judge for yourselves.

Welp, Jake IS A MF GENIUS. My new husband and I are not natural in front of a camera...we are quite awkward. But Jake somehow was able to take THE BEST photos ever. He just walks with you, talks to you, and then BAM, he takes a photo that later comes out to be the best MF photo ever. Even if he made us pose, he didnt force us to be fake. Not only did he capture us wonderfully, but his photos also beautifully captured the environment we were in. Every photo seemed like it came from a different scene of my favorite movie. Every photo is a piece of art. Well-captured, well-edited, unique, fun, and simply amazing.
I also hired Jake's wife, Ash, and her team to do hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids. I also work with my husband, so I was ecstatic to find out Jake's wife did HMU. Well Ash and her team made us look AMAZING. It was not overpowering, and really came out beautiful in photos!!! My husband, who is super down to earth, calm, and collected...well he had a fun day, but for me, who is an introvert with high anxiety and unmanageable stress, that day was a blur and kinda like a dream. But when it all came to an end, the thing that made me so happy is that we not only have the MOST amazing photos to look back on forever, but we have also found great friendship in Jake & Ash. They are the best people who deserve everything great in this world!

We're so happy with our decision to work with Love + Wolves for our camp wedding last August! Photography was one thing that we were pretty picky about, and we were beyond excited to find L+W through a prior wedding at our venue. We LOVED their unique, raw style.. it just didn't feel like any other wedding photography we had seen. We worked with Natalie + Keith on the day-of, and they were both lovely. They brought a calm presence to a hectic day, and were also just fun to be around (we had several guests say the same!). We had decided to forgo engagement photos and add some extra time on the day-of, and Natalie went above and beyond, capturing extra photos late into the night - even beyond the hours we had scoped. We also had some sensitivity around photos given family members with disabilities, and Natalie was super accommodating and thoughtful throughout. The team did an amazing job at capturing the vibe of our untraditional setting (and the dance floor photos are truly epic). Highly recommend working with Love + Wolves!!

Meeting and working with Jacob and Ash was one of the most rewarding experiences of our wedding. Amidst all of the chaos of the day and weeks leading up to it, they were a force of tranquility. Ash did an absolutely incredible job with our hair/make up styling and was such a pleasure to work with. She brought a very calming and supportive energy the morning of our wedding, making what could have been a stressful experience a super fun and relaxing one. Ash made me feel so beautiful and confident on the most wonderful day of my life. She's an awesome chick and I can't sing her praises enough! Jacob was not only incredibly professional and dependable, but he was so friendly and inviting that he was truly an anchor of positivity in a very stressful time. He was commanding and assertive throughout the day while photographing, but he also blended in perfectly amongst the party. Although you can see from his incredible work that he has the ability to really engage with his subjects, we can tell you first hand that he was masterful at doing so. He definitely went above and beyond our expectations, it really felt like he had our best interests in mind and that he cared about the occasion as much as we did. Getting to work with both Ash and Jacob was so lovely, being around such a loving couple felt like a good omen and made the experience feel really personal.
