About

For decades, photography has been my passion. And in that time, I have photographed hundreds of weddings. I love to anticipate and capture the spontaneous moments, the love, joy and celebration that happen at weddings. My goal is to get photos that people will cherish forever. My photo-journalistic approach and friendly nature help people to relax and enjoy their truly special day. I don't use elaborate set-ups or lighting. And I don't often direct people because I want the couple and their friends to be the center of attention. My pricing can fit any budget. And photo delivery- with copyrights- is always in two weeks or less.

Thank you, Jakob! I really enjoyed our session. What I liked most was the way you and Lily talked to and looked at each other. You warmed my heart. And it was a chilly day! Please keep me in mind for your wedding. I would love to be your photographer! All the best, Mike
