Cinematic Photography & Videography in Southern California

IMG_3228.jpg
I document weddings, events, and personal sessions across Southern California with a calm, intentional approach that lets moments unfold naturally. Working in both digital and film, my work has ranged from quiet, intimate gatherings to energetic, large-scale celebrations.
 
I’m Jakob – a photographer and filmmaker focused on honest, thoughtful storytelling.

Style & Approach

My photography and videos are inspired by the nostalgic character of analog film. Refined color, moody tones, and timeless black-and-white create an aesthetic that feels elevated, intentional, and emotionally grounded. The visual language is understated, yet powerful, designed to evoke feeling rather than demand attention.

I focus on real moments as they unfold—quiet in-betweens, genuine emotion, and the high-energy antics that give the day its pulse. This approach favors candid over posed and presence over performance, stepping in only when a clear vision or gentle guidance helps a moment come to life. The result is work that feels honest and lived-in, preserving not just what happened, but what it felt like to be there.
