We hired Jake to be a "stealth" photographer for our son's proposal and then he did some fun and touching posed photos after. Jake did a great job and the photos completely capture the moment! Being able to download the photos from his website meant we had them to share super fast too! We'd definitely use him again.

Jake did an amazing job photographing my wedding! I had a really small intimate wedding at the courthouse in Chicago. The atmosphere there is pretty drab, but Jake had some great ideas to make the pictures really fun! He was very attentive to all the guests and got wonderful pictures of everyone. He also brought a lot ideas and locations to the table- it's clear he's shot quite a few weddings in Chicago and knows the right spots. I highly recommend!

Jake did our engagement photos and our day of photos for our wedding. We had such a great experience with him and were really able to see his creative process develop right before our eyes. Jake was great at providing ideas for pictures and locations - even getting us into the Modern Wing of the Art Institute for our engagement session photos. Jake had a quick turn around in being able to show us our photos from both of the sessions we had with him. For the day of photos, he had been to the venue we were having our wedding at before, but went with us again prior to the wedding to really plan out shots and locations for the day. It was easy to see that Jake has a passion for this by how excited he gets during photo sessions and his enthusiasm for his finished work. Great experience!
