After being engaged for over 1.5 years, I just couldn’t seem to be able to commit to a photographer. That is, until I was given the name of Cadence of Grace. From the first messages exchanged, I knew that Jake & Kristin were passionate about their work (as if it wasn’t already apparent enough through their website & Instagram). I had a phone consult with them and after the first 10 minutes, it was seriously like talking to friends. Everything was so genuine. Going into our engagement photo session in October, I knew that my fiancé & I were a little camera shy. However, it took literally no time at all for Jake to make us feel comfortable and confident. He is so willing to do whatever necessary to capture amazing photos and is so creative, while remaining organized and professional. We had such a great time! We received our engagement photos less than a month after the photoshoot (thanks to Jake’s serious dedication) & we are absolutely blown away. I am so confident in my decision to go through Cadence of Grace. I cannot even begin to imagine how amazing our wedding photos will be next year! Highly, highly recommend!

Throw any doubts aside because I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with Cadence of Grace!!! My first time ever getting photos professionally taken and Jacob made us feel so comfortable and gave us great direction at our engagement shoot. He will capture all your best angles trust me! We know we made the right choice for our wedding and are so excited for the big day!! They are super accomodating and easy to work with. We also got super creative and brought carved pumpkin heads for fun! It was honestly a blast.

Jake and Kristin exceeded all of our expectations as photographers and then some. From the first day we met them, they took the time to get to know us and our vision for our engagement shoot. Jake and Kristin are truly professionals and it shows in their work. The location that THEY suggested was absolutely stunning and the photos are beautiful - there isn't one that we don't like. I was most worried about looking awkward in the pictures, but during the session, Jake was the BIGGEST hype man and made us super comfortable in front of the camera. We can't thank them enough for the stunning work they did and we're so excited to see them again at the wedding!!

Jake recently did an engagement shoot for my fiancee and I. Both of us don't think of ourselves as the most photogenic people, but Jake's work would make you think otherwise. He talked us through natural movements and poses, cracking jokes along the way, and it lead to some amazing, natural looking photos. Almost immediately into the shoot we knew we wanted to work with him and his wife, Kristin, for the wedding day too! Sneak peaks came incredibly quick too which was very appreciated. We just received the final photos about a month later and they look amazing. Jake really took the time to make things perfect. Where they really differentiate themselves is their transparency with pricing. Very much appreciated. We look forward to working with them again at our wedding! Thanks Jake and Kristin.

Jacob and Kristen were awesome to work with! From the initial phone call to our engagement shoot, my fiancée and I appreciated their passion. The love for their work is inspiring and they are two genuine people who we would recommend anyone to work with. We are excited to have them shoot our wedding next year!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After 15+ years of being involved in weddings in other capacities (i.e planner, officiant, decorator and pre-marital counselor), we found a passion for being behind the camera and delivering beautiful images that capture moments that would otherwise be lost to time! Since picking up a camera for the first time many years ago, we have spent countless hours taking classes to refine our craft. We’ve studied from a place of photographic composition, graphic arts design, social media marketing and even large scale broadcast experience. Even as of recently - within the last month - we have invested 100’s of dollars taking classes to refine and develop our editing process in Lightroom to deliver the best possible images to our clients.
