Meet Jake.
 
I'm a born and raised Canadian photographer with a deep love for the outdoors and a passion for capturing life's most beautiful moments with a refined and elegant aesthetic.
My work focuses on honest and raw feelings, and the little moments and subtle details that weaves together the story of your love.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m outside—drawn to quiet trails, open water, and wide horizons. Trail running, climbing, canoeing, camping—it’s all part of the same rhythm.
Long distances, early mornings, and the stillness of nature shape how I move through the world, with Algonquin always calling me back.
Shaped by your pace and priorities
 
Thoughtfully yours.
Your day is approached with care. Whether that means time for a sunrise hike, a slow morning together, or space to simply take it all in, your pace and priorities lead the way.
Gentle direction, never overdone
 
Naturally guided.
Nothing will feel stiff. Nothing is staged. I offer gentle direction when it’s helpful and step back when it’s not, so your connection comes through effortlessly and honestly.
An experience that reflects you

True to your story.
It’s the small things that make the difference. Thoughtful planning, intentional timelines, and location insight – all added with care, and no excess.

Calm, grounded support throughout
 
Steady & present.
On the day itself, I’ll be your calm, grounding presence — observing, adapting, and keeping the experience relaxed so that you stay fully in the moment.

Rooted in intention, presence, and a little adventure
Modern romantics with adventurous spirit.
 
When you're ready, let's tell your story.
 
Frequently asked questions.
How long have you been a photographer?
Photography has been part of my life for over twenty years, shaped by time spent exploring street, architecture, landscape, still life, and portraiture.
In 2022, encouraged by a close friend and fellow photographer, I officially began documenting weddings and elopements—bringing years of visual storytelling into deeply meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime days.
Where are you based and do you travel for destination projects?
I’m based in Ottawa, Canada, but my work is shaped by time spent exploring far beyond it—from across the United States to parts of Europe, with many more places still calling.
Wherever your day takes place—close to home or somewhere far-flung—I’m always happy to travel. If a destination wedding or elopement has been part of your story from the start, I’d love to help bring it to life.
Can we choose a package and do wedding portraits another day?
Absolutely. All offerings are flexible and can be tailored to suit your plans—whether that means spreading things out across multiple days or keeping the focus on what feels most meaningful to you.
Above all, your comfort matters most. When you feel at ease and fully yourselves, the moments unfold naturally—and that’s where the most honest, heartfelt imagery comes from.
How many photos will we receive for our coverage?
I photograph each day as it naturally unfolds, capturing the moments that matter most. Quality always comes before quantity, and your final images are carefully curated to reflect your story honestly and beautifully.
As a guideline, I deliver roughly 45–75 edited images per hour of coverage—but every wedding is unique, and the number of photos is always tailored to tell your story perfectly.
When will we receive our gallery?
A few days after your wedding, you’ll receive a sneak peek—an early look at some of the moments from your day. Within 6–8 weeks, your full online gallery will be ready, filled with all the images that tell your story.
From there, you can download, share, select favourites for a custom heirloom album, or order prints to keep your memories close for years to come.
