This was our first time in Maine, and I reached out to Jack for a surprise proposal. He was really helpful throughout the planning, especially with figuring out good spots for the shot, where to avoid the fence, and how to work around the crowds. I planned to propose at sunrise by the Portland Head Light, which was a challenging task since the timing, weather, angle, and lighting had to be just right. There were a lot of things that could have gone wrong (we did have to change the plan due to foggy weather), but Jack handled it really well and made the whole thing feel easy. I am happy he did a great job capturing our happy moments. The photos turned out amazing. Really appreciate all the help, Jack!

Jack was awesome! He really went above and beyond to help me plan out the location and all the details for the day itself. The pictures came out beautifully. Working with someone so commutative and professional truly made the day a success and took a lot of my stress off my mind. Extremely thankful to have found Jack and to have so many great pictures to remember our day by.

Jack was so great to work with to capture our surprise proposal! We are not from the area so he was incredibly helpful with sunset times, tide level, and chose the absolute PERFECT spot for me to get down on one knee to frame the photo. He made the process incredibly easy and definitely helped calm my nerves, especially leading up to the day of the proposal. His turnaround for sending us the albums of both the surprise and the follow up posed photos was quick, and the quality was incredible. I would highly recommend him, and would use him again if I needed photos up in Maine again!

Jack was so kind and accommodating for my friend’s surprise proposal! He offered to drive to the cabin we stayed in for the surprise after party, too! Overall, he was great to work with and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for special occasion photography.
