SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
FRAMED BY LOVE.
WRITTEN IN LIGHT.
Cinematic Photography & Videography in Southern California
Weddings, events, and personal sessions, documented across Southern California with a refined, observational approach.
Working in both digital and film, my work spans from intimate gatherings to expansive celebrations, always with an emphasis on tone, mood, and lasting imagery.
I’m Jakob—a photographer and filmmaker focused on timeless, honest 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.
Engagement Photos
Every couple has a unique connection, and I am here to capture yours in a way that reflects your personalities and the love you share. Let’s create lasting memories in settings that mean the most to you—whether it’s on a beach cliff, in a lush forest, or in the comfort of your home.
