Enduring imagery, that is uniquely yours

Cinematic Photography & Videography in Southern California

For weddings, events, and private sessions, 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 films are inspired by the nostalgic character of analog film—refined color, moody tones, and timeless black-and-white imagery that feels elevated, intentional, and emotionally grounded. I focus on real moments as they unfold: quiet in-betweens, genuine emotion, and the energy that gives a day its pulse. The approach is candid over posed, preserving not just what happened, but what it felt like to be there.

"Jakob Holmes captured the most BEAUTIFUL photos of our wedding celebration. I will forever be recommending him to all of our friends looking for a photographer to capture special moments. His professionalism, kindness, creativity, and skill transcend what we could ever have expected. And his skill is visible in every photo we received. He has a God given talent for photography, you can see the love and tenderness of the moment in every photo. 10/10 would highly recommend!"
