We are Jake + Liv, a wedding-photography couple based in Charlotte, NC. We love people and sharing their stories, which is why we do what we do. We are motivated above all by God’s love, which we aim to reflect in all of our endeavors – from loving one another well to serving our clients with presence and excellence. We believe in the power of photography to transport people back to moments, awaken the senses in remembrance, and invoke a sense of nostalgia that brings back all the good feels. Simply put, we love love and want to preserve it through documenting it one photo at a time.
About Us
Our Approach
We seek to create an environment of freedom within all of our photo-shoots. We desire for our sessions to be an experience for our clients, where they come alive in their love, their beauty, and feel fully themselves. We find a variety of creative ways to make our couples feel more comfortable and at home in front of our cameras. We believe that the best images are true to the stories that they reflect, and it's not a one-size fits all game. We understand that everyone is different and that every love story is unique, and we want to capture your love the way that it is - because that's what will make you feel things when you look at them 25 years down the road.

We recognize that it's not possible for us to align with everyone's expectations. The wedding photography industry is wide and ever-expanding, and there are many different styles and approaches to accommodate the needs of those seeking coverage. We know that our style is not for everyone, but it is for some, and we are uncompromising when it comes to staying true to who we are. We desire to create authentic connection with the couples that we work with, and we have learned first-hand that it all goes over best when we work with clients who value our work, enjoy our style, and trust us.
