SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
AN ARTFUL VISION,
INSPIRED BY YOU
Cinematic Photography & Videography in Southern California
For over six years, I’ve documented meaningful celebrations across Southern California, from quiet, intimate gatherings to energetic, large-scale events. My work centers on weddings, events, and personal sessions, with a calm, intentional approach that allows moments to unfold naturally.
I’m Jakob, a Southern California–based photographer and filmmaker. My goal is to document your day honesty, creativity, and care, so what remains years from now still feels true to the experience itself.
Style & Approach
My photography and films are inspired by the nostalgic character of analog film. Refined color, gentle contrast, 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 moments 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.
