Joshua Jacob Creative
Spokane, WA
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Goleta, CA

Our wedding business started out with me shooting a wedding video for a very dear friend of mine in 2017. I posted the video to a Facebook business page and BOOM! It received 200,000 views and we started receiving hundreds of inquiries from couples around the PNW. Every year I would book 30-40 weddings doing photos and videos for couples. When COVID struck, we had a year crashing into the next year. We had to adapt. So I grew our company to 8 teams of pro photographers/videographers to cover weddings around the US. There is nothing better than capturing love on the biggest day ever. Every day we are thankful to be able to do this.

"If you like my work, we’re probably a lot alike. You might be a tad sentimental. You might want to hold on to seemingly simple things. Or maybe you treasure those ordinary moments others take for granted. It’s possible you’ve realized one of the coolest things in the world would be to take a minute of your relationship, capture it, exaggerate it, make it art, tack it to your fridge, or parade it on Instagram & count the comments. Or maybe you want to blow it up huge and make a statement on your wall like ‘Hell yeah babe, that’s us!’ Yep, if you like my work, we’re probably a lot alike. Let’s get together. Let’s create something amazing!"

We are a Husband & Wife team currently based in SoCal but will travel to Las Vegas as well as any other state in the U.S. What is “The Lou Effect”? Well The Lou Effect is actually a quote my wife would say to me before going to shoots. Before heading out she’d always say “show them that Lou effect”, so from there the name was born. Essentially the goal is to always make every shoot as creatively unique as possible, by showcasing key moments from small details to those big wowing moments to truly tell your days story. But ultimately the desired “Effect” is to leave our clients with smiles on their faces and satisfaction in their hearts.

I know when to be serious, but I also know when to start singing Whitney Houston’s, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” (I can even hit them high notes). From the moment you inquire, to the day I send you your goods, i’ll be over using the exclamation point! Some say that’s overly enthusiastic, but life is so much better this way.

I'm a digital & film photographer living in NYC capturing weddings, couples, and life around me. I have a genuine love for creating images you'll look back on that'll always give you butterflies! I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Using four doves photography was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Everything went smooth, my pictures came out absolutely beautiful. Rebecca did our engagement shoot and wedding day. She really helped my husband and I feel comfortable and actually have fun. She listened to what we wanted but directed us in the most gentle, yet efficient way. I felt calm and relaxed with her around. I was so confident that everything and everyone I would want in my photos would be included and the aesthetic would be perfectly captured. We had so much time to actually ENJOY and be present in our wedding because of all the preparation and perfect execution of photo timelines that Rebecca planned with us along the way. Rebecca and Annalee covered everything I wanted at the wedding and all the getting ready fun. Everyone enjoyed having them around as well!! Our photos came out so amazing and I’m forever grateful to four doves photography for perfectly documenting the most important and special day of my life! The website when your photos come in is also so easy to use and organized and not overwhelming at all! You can order prints right from it and share the link with your friends and family. Yay!!!

Highly recommend using Emily as your photographer for any occasion. We hired Empowering You for our wedding and it was obvious that we made the right decision as soon as the photographers walked in the door! She is professional, on time, stays on schedule while being flexible, creative, easy to work with, and brings amazing energy!! The second photographer was just as kind and talented. She is not afraid to help position and pose you to get beautiful photos. She works great with children- our niece (flower girl) basically followed her around all afternoon pretending to help take pictures. Excellent portraits & in the moment shots of us, family and friends to perfectly capture our day. The final images came quickly and were absolutely amazing, we will cherish them forever!

It was love at first sight with Melissa! From start to finish she was a dream to work with. Her photography style is what drew me to her but then her kindness, creativity, and just way cool vibes is what sealed the deal! I wanted a photographer that would really take the reigns. I knew what type of photos I wanted to capture from our engagement shoot and wedding but it was Melissa who helped guide us and capture the moments I was looking for. I told her I get super uncomfortable in front of the camera and she was so sly, quick and fun that my insecurities went out the window. Her second photographer for the wedding/reception, Kristin was also absolutely incredible! And now, the photos! Holy cow! Each one better than the last! We have gotten so many compliments on these photos and are ordering our wedding album through her. Thank you so much, Melissa! You are so incredibly talented and couldn’t have imagined going with anyone else!

intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
She was fantastic! Everyone at my wedding thought she was a family friend because she was so easygoing and friendly. Quick turn- around. Super flexible. My husband hates pictures, but said she made him look good in her photos. Also super efficient. A lot of weddings I've been to had photo sessions that seemed to go on forever. Not the case here and quality did not suffer for it.

Granted, there were some exceptions for family photos of course, but overall exactly what we wanted. Chrissy made us feel extremely comfortable and I trusted her judgement on everything. She is easy to work with and really goes above and beyond to make sure that your day goes smoothly. Thank you so much for everything!

Gabe did a terrific job capturing our wedding day. He is super talented and we feel so fortunate to have had him photograph our wedding. Our details changed several times with COVID and Gabe was always one step ahead, making sure he could accommodate whatever changes were made.

Most of our photos were candid, which was something that was important to us and Gabe also highlights. My husband and I really valued his authenticity and communication skills.

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime.

Wow! I can't say enough about working with Anthony. He did our original engagement photos in 2020 and the retakes we did in 2021 (thanks, COVID). Finally, he was able to photograph my groomsmen and I getting ready for my actual wedding this past weekend. We had texted and confirmed times for the barbershop and first looks and Anthony was there ahead of time and ready to go as soon as we arrived. In addition, he managed to get some beautiful photos of my sons and I getting ready at our house before we went to the venue.

I found Hope through a DFW Brides Facebook forum and could not be more grateful (and lucky) to have been recommended a honest, kind, compassionate, and talented photographer. It’s scary when working with photographers for the first time but she made the entire process so secure and easy. She responded timely to my submission, showed up on time and communicated each shot with my husband and our family and captured our perfect moments to perfection. The photos were so good in fact that my SIL made a wedding album made of ONLY the pictures- that’s how well her photos told the story of our wedding day. Highly recommend (and I do to all my coworkers planning a wedding). Life

Awarded Best of Zola
We were immediately drawn to Rachel Stenger's photography style and tone. We loved her slightly moody yet crisp vibe. It was evident that she was able to capture the true energy of the people she photographed and that's a special skill. We immediately contacted her to capture our wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. As we got closer to the date and the likelihood of the wedding needing to evolve was growing, Rachel was accessible, supportive, and understanding. She was able to capture our small intimate ceremony on our original date and it was beautiful. We were so happy with her work and her personable energy that we asked her to capture our wedding celebration that happened a year later. Rachel and Zeb, another photographer that she works with, were such a delight while they captured our June 2021 wedding. It was effortless, it felt like they were our friends attending the wedding who happened to be taking photos. They captured all the lovely candid and quirky moments while also capturing the magical staged shots. We highly recommend working with Rachel Stenger, her work is a perfect blend of artistic and realistic. Rachel and Zeb captured moments that will continue to bring a smile to our faces as the years go by. Thank you!

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

If I could rate Kayla a million stars, I would. She is INCREDIBLE and if you're even thinking about booking her, you should! My wife and I have had the privilege of knowing Kayla since she made the transition to making photography her full-time business. So, once we got engaged and started wedding planning, we knew that we wanted to work with Kayla and man—we were not disappointed. Kayla is so good at her job in the sense that she really takes the time to understand the vibe of each couple, tailoring each session (be it the engagement shoot or the actual wedding) to make sure the pictures are reflective of the couple's style. She also was amazing in terms of helping plan out our day-of schedule. She was so efficient the day-of and she and her team were the best hype-people. When we got our preview back (she's also SO fast), I started bawling again because they are just so beautiful. She captured the emotions, the moments, and the details so perfectly and her editing styling is so dreamy and perfect. I cannot recommend Kayla enough. Not only do we know that we will have beautiful photographs for the rest of our life, but we have a great friend in Kayla now.

Documenting weddings by capturing the effortless love and beautiful nature that exists in the same space. Photographing joy-filled weddings in a natural yet bright and vibrant style to bring candid and editorial moments to life. A calming, excited presence on your wedding day to cheer you on through all of your planning and tear-jerking moments. Prioritizing your experience in the moment while capturing all the moments in between. My style is natural, organic, and colorful with an editorial flare that aims to capture authentic human connection and the natural environment around you.

Kayla was the third photographer for our wedding and we are so SO glad that she was part of the team for our big day! She has such a special eye for detail and captured moments with such love and care. She was incredibly helpful the day of our wedding, from extensively scoping out photography locations, to bringing us water and anything else we needed as we were going through our shot list. The final gallery that she shared with us was absolutely stunning and so full of unique moments and details we were so glad were captured on film for us to relive again and again.

Hey all you cute love birds!!! I am a Boise area photographer, BUT I LOVE to travel and would absolutely kill to travel for you! Okay, not literally kill but ya know. I would love love to travel for you! I am a wedding photographer, who specializes in elopements and intimate weddings! Do I still offer more traditional big weddings? HELL YES. My business is all about creating exceptional experiences! I want to make sure your day is so special, and that you get the images of your dreams! I try to stray from the traditional, and go for more fun, unique experiences! If you're looking for that, let's get this party started!!

I had seen Jordan's photos on instagram and fallen in love with their aesthetic. I've been in traditional posed wedding photos as part of the wedding party and family in the past and I just never look like myself in them. I cannot pose and get very self-conscious if I know my picture is being taken. But having candid moments from the day really meant the world to me and that is what really resonated with me in Jordan's style; the documentary feel. Beyond this, there is this incredible eye for lighting and angle and capturing just the right moment that this duo (because it is Jordan and her husband, Trent) brings that I didn't find in any other portfolio I went through when looking for a photographer. She was super patient and understanding when walking me through the process on our introduction and every other subsequent call leading up to the day. We weren't going to be using engagement photos for the traditional announcements, but I had this idea of a wonderful series of photos at this location on the island where we were having the wedding that we could have as kind of our own celebration of our engagement and they were instantly on board and agreed to come out the day before to do those photos at that time. It ended up being a really lovely time for us 4 to bond and get used to each other so I highly recommend doing some kind of engagement photo session even if you're a photo-averse person like myself and the thought of doing more photos seems like the last thing you want to do. Jordan and Trent are so calm and relaxed that it made it really easy to be natural around them. And then on the day they were absolute rockstars. We were, as is surprising to maybe no one but us, running super late and they very gracefully helped manage our extended families and the venue to keep the pressure off us while still getting everything done they could. We showed up to the venue with 20 minutes to the ceremony and we somehow managed to get all our family photos (with toddlers and blended modern family combinations in the mix) and still be only 5 minutes late on the ceremony start. Then we snuck away for sunset photos and that ended up being this absolutely beautiful time we got to spend together during the reception, not awkward at all. And I truly think that's because of how natural and talented this duo are at their jobs. They were like the most lovely and helpful guests at the wedding, truly like having friends who are photographing the day for you. They made the day exactly what I hoped for, this beautiful, cherished time spent with family and friends in a magical place celebrating being all together and I cannot imagine my wedding without them there. I don't have the full album yet, but I do have the engagement photos and an absolutely breathtaking sneak peek of the day and they are so beautiful I almost don't believe it. Hopefully I won't need another wedding photographer (hahahaha) but if I do need family photos for the future they will be my first call.

We are partners in life and in business. We can't get over working together! We've been married over 10 years and have 4 beautiful kiddos together. Sam loves capturing wedding films and Grace loves wedding photography. We are goofy and love Star Wars, home brewing, and trying new things!

We love our wedding pictures and video from Sam & Grace! I encourage you to read the rest of this review, but before you continue, do yourself a favor and call to book Sam & Grace before someone else does. You can thank me later. Just like you, we were looking for a photographer and cinematographer to capture our wedding day. A family friend highly recommended Sam & Grace, who had used them a few months prior for their own wedding. We shopped around to compare prices. Their services were, by far, the best value. However, we received much more than a fair price; we had the pleasure of working with two great people. From day one, Grace and Sam went above and beyond the typical expectations of a wedding photographer. They laid out a process that helped manage the stress of our big day. They not only provided a timeline and details for pictures, but also helped coordinate other vendors and moving parts throughout the night. We had several touch point meetings leading up to our wedding. It sounds simple, but the logistics for our wedding were not typical. The wedding was held in OH, but the bride was in SC and the groom in FL. This just added complexity to our process. That said, Sam and Grace's expertise made preparations that much easier. We greatly appreciated all of Grace’s insight and suggestions to make sure everything went smoothly. They also took great consideration to listen to us and really understand how we envisioned our wedding day. And when our wedding day came, Sam and Grace executed! From the first picture of getting ready to the final picture for our send off, Sam and Grace were there. They were in constant communication with the event planner and DJ, helping to stick to the timeline and capturing all of our important moments along the way. However, most importantly, they made sure we were happy. I specifically remember when we sat down to begin eating. While Grace was snapping away, she noticed a slight concern on our faces. Grace came over, asked us what was the matter, and then took it upon herself to notify the event planner that there was a mistake with our food. Again, not her job, but one less detail we did not have to worry about. The venue quickly apologized and took measures to resolve the error. If you are not convinced yet, all you have to do is look at Sam and Grace's work. Oftentimes, couples have to hold their breath to see how their pictures turn out. That’s not the case with these two professionals. Just look on their Facebook page and Youtube channel. You will see that time and time again, they deliver. Actually, after all was said and done, and they had posted our pictures and video, my husband and I thought we should have paid them more than what they had asked! Sam and Grace under promised and over delivered. That said, if you are looking for detailed professionals, who have a gift for capturing special moments, look no further than this beautiful and kind couple.

Hey! I'm Sharlee, an adventure & pet-friendly elopement photographer based in Oregon. I have a background as a vet tech+ I'm an avid lover of hiking, camping, climbing, or anything outside. I am passionate about helping couples feel empowered to “break from tradition and create a wedding of your own” Whether that's exploring a new place together, cuddling in a cabin, or sharing a favorite food - I want your wedding day to feel authentic to YOUR relationship and what makes elopements so special. Being able to provide you with a fun, enjoyable experience & beautiful images that look like your own piece of art is what makes me beam.

Our experience with Sharlee was everything we could have hoped it to be, if not so much more. To start, we wanted our ceremony to be in Utah, which was a challenge in itself being that we live in Oregon. Sharlee knew all the steps to take to make sure we could have photos at our ceremony in the location we wanted, including what permits were needed (which seemed like the most daunting of tasks). She was also great about asking us what our vision was for our ceremony so she could get the best photos possible, and she really delivered on getting those photos. I mean, WOW. To start, the moments she captured are the moments we'll want to look back on, so many years from now. From us getting ready, to the ceremony, to cute moments after the ceremony and everything in between, she caught it all. She even made on-the-fly-adjustments to make sure we got the perfect photos when things didn't go quite to our original plan, and did so in such a professional and smooth way that you almost would have thought she expected it to begin with. We received a preview gallery in the midst of our honeymoon, which made it feel that much more special, and the photos are AMAZING. The photos combined with her editing style are beautiful and timeless, and I know they will be something we lovingly look back on for the rest of our lives. We absolutely made the right choice on who to hire for our big day and will be greatly appreciative of what she did for us for our the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend her highly enough for your big day, as I know you'll be ecstatic as we are about our photos.

A wedding & elopement photographer, who also does events and family photography. My name is Taty, I'm based in Atlanta, Georgia. When I’m not shooting weddings or sessions, I'm working on other business with my husband, or you'll find me hanging out with friends, or traveling around the world. If you're planning to get married, engaged, or whatever, I'm your girl! It'd be a pleasure to capture your day and also help you with planning and find some vendors. You can see more of my work on IG (plooshphotos).

Taty was so sweet and easy to work with. I can’t even put into words how in love I am with our photos, I can’t stop looking at them. She also had my full photos back within two weeks. BOOK HER!

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

I've had the pleasure of working with Joie from Simple Joie Photography in the capacity of a vendor. I'm a wedding planner and work with a lot of different photographers.

Her style showcases the natural light and colors of her subjects and the background. Her ability to make couples feel at-ease creates an enjoyable atmosphere on a day which can be both the best day and also a stressful one. I would 100% recommend Joie for your wedding day if you are looking for someone who will deliver beautiful, well-compositioned, and detail-oriented photographs while also making you feel like she's your best girlfriend.

Mary Kate Davenport Photography is a fine arts photographer dedicated to making you comfortable in front of the camera. Located in Maryland and travels all over the world. Our goal is to transport you and your significant other back to the moments captured in every photo.

I can’t say enough good things about Mary Kate! She did both my engagement and wedding day photos. We booked her when she was somewhat new to shooting weddings, but you never would have known because she’s a pro! My pictures are so beautiful they brought me to tears. She’s so easy to work with and makes the whole process a breeze. She comes with her own ideas but also gives you the opportunity to share your own on what kind of pictures you want.
