We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jacoby!! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our special day feel effortless and magical. We’re both naturally a bit camera-shy and awkward in front of the lens, but she made us feel completely at ease. Her thoughtful approach to our timeline, warm personality, and incredible attention to detail created an experience that was not only stress-free but genuinely fun. She took the time to get to know us and our vision, and she captured our wedding perfectly! She blended into the background when needed, yet was there with gentle guidance when we needed help posing or corralling family members. The results were absolutely stunning—beyond anything we could have imagined. She has a true gift for storytelling through her photography!!
If you are looking for one of the best photographers in St. Louis, you have arrived at the right page! My husband and I got married August 2023 and Jacoby captured our special absolutely perfectly! Every time I open our wedding gallery I have a new favorite picture and it’s because Jacoby not only takes excellent traditional wedding photos but has a knack for the most special candid moments. She is so professional and organized! She also worked with our day of coordinator to make sure everything went smoothly. Jacoby and her second photographer were very kind and patient to all members of our wedding party and both families. I cannot recommend Jacoby enough and I smile thinking about how happy her future clients will be when they open their wedding albums!
Hiring Jacoby was the best decision we made for our wedding. After our initial phone call before officially booking with Jacoby, my husband and I instantly knew we had to have her as our photographer. She was professional, laid back, and kind.
Jacoby’s ability to capture candid moments is incredible. We were so happy to receive so many candid photographs from our wedding day. The day went by so fast and having photos that make you feel like you can relive the day is exactly what Jacoby delivered. Jacoby and her second photographer captured so many candid moments that we missed and I’m thankful we have those to look back on for years.
Jacoby not only delivered amazing photographs but she was also fun to be around. It felt like she was a friend hanging out with our bridal party which helped make me and my husband more relaxed and it showed in the pictures. She is detail oriented and prepared a timeline for the day which was very helpful. Jacoby was efficient getting all the specific pictures we requested, while also making the process fun.
I highly recommend Jacoby!
We found Jacoby because she frequently shoots at our wedding venue, Wild Carrot, and I am so grateful we had her during our engagement and wedding. I was first drawn to her because a major focus for her is capturing nostalgic and timeless photos that we can look back on the rest of our lives, and that’s something I find so important. Candids are always my favorite types of pictures during photo shoots that can sometimes feel so staged, and Jacoby captures these moments so flawlessly. Even during staged or more formal poses, she makes you so relaxed and in the moment where you forget you’re actually being photographed. We used her for our engagement photos multiple times and on the wedding day, and she followed us through our wedding process frequently checking in and seeing how we’re doing. The entire wedding day went so smooth and most importantly stress-free so my husband and I could just take it all in without focusing on the little details, which was largely in part due to Jacoby keeping us on track. Last but certainly not least, her photos are jaw dropping. She captures the day perfectly and you are literally able to relive the entire day just through her pictures. We cannot wait to use her for family photos in the future. 100000000/10 recommend Jacoby.
If you're thinking about booking Jacoby as your wedding photographer, stop thinking and just do it. She is incredibly talented at capturing both how the day looked, but also how the day felt. Every time we look at our wedding photos we are instantly transported back to the day and get the chance to relive it all again.
Jacoby is incredibly communicative and really gets to know you throughout the planning process. She also had our photos back to us in record time (less than 2 weeks for our entire album). She is also so fun to work with and feels like a friend at the end of the experience. We cannot recommend her enough.
Jacoby is simply the best. She has worked with several (maybe 5?) of my co-workers in the past, so before we started looking, we already had her in mind. Being very analytical, I did search far and wide to review other options, even interviewing/reviewing full albums from other photographers, however, even after all this, the decision was still very clearly Jacoby. We booked her literally the day she opened her books up for the year. Our first time chatting with her was very relaxed, warm, welcoming. I felt very comfortable talking to her about our vision and wants. I feel like she heard us.
We initially planned for just wedding coverage, with 8 hours of coverage. However, leading up to the wedding, we decided that we additionally wanted to add on an engagement shoot (for memories, to see how my makeup trial would photograph, and to spend more time with Jacoby prior to the wedding). She ABSOLUTELY blew us away. From how fun our hour together was, to how easy posing using her cues/prompts was, to getting our photos back only EIGHT days after our shoot, everything was perfect. The photos, oh my god they were perfect! More than I could've ever imagined.
Leading up to our wedding, she did an excellent job of communicating with us and with our wedding planner to come up with a perfect timeline, incorporating all the specific photos that we requested. Day of, Jacoby and her second photographer Nathan brought a light, playful, fun energy. They were able to be flexible when we inevitably fell off our initially planned timeline. They were ready to silently/secretly capture sweet/quiet/intimate moments but also easily commanded the room to capture formal portraits when time was limited, at times even dealing with very strong personalities in a very graceful way. She sent us a handful of photos only TWO days after the wedding, then a sneak peak album in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, with our final gallery coming in ONLY THREE WEEKS after the wedding. The variety of photos we received was incredible. Two months after our wedding, and I still find myself peaking at them almost daily, feeling the same warmth, happiness, and love we did that day. I love that each picture tells a story and takes us right back to the moment. I will cherish these memories forever.
I could not recommend Jacoby enough!
We were recommended to Jacoby by our friends and we could not be happier we chose her to do our engagement and wedding photos! She was professional, calm and an absolute joy to work with. She made the process so easy and everyone raved about our photos.
She is truly talented and we were blown away by the pictures and moments she was able to capture. We never get tired of looking over our photos from our wedding day. You will NOT regret working and choosing Jacoby!! Could not recommend using her more for your engagement & wedding!
We worked with Jacoby for our engagement and wedding pictures, and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. Leading up to the wedding, she was super organized and communicative - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, she was very easy to work with and a calming presence throughout the entire day. She was flexible with the shots we wanted while also guiding us when we needed help during our portrait sessions. The candids from the day are absolutely stunning - she is super stealthy and we actually had a few people tell us they didn’t think we had hired a photographer because they didn’t notice her during the ceremony. We are completely blown away by our gallery. We are so grateful for her beautiful work and will cherish these pictures forever!!
We worked with Jacoby Andrick Photo for our wedding and could not have made a better choice! From the moment we first started working with her, she brought a sense of ease, comfort, and professionalism to the chaos of wedding planning. She picked distinct spots for our engagement and pre-wedding pictures, seamlessly worked with our venue, planner, and vendors, and was kind and courteous to all our friends and family. But most importantly, she helped us have fun! We never felt stressed with Jacoby or her team and that let us be carefree and enjoy the day.
We really appreciate the way she captured so many small moments that really made up our wedding day. Going through pictures afterward was such a joy because it helps us relive the day, and we can always come back to her photos and remember a different moment. We got so many compliments from friends and family about how wonderful all of our pictures were, and that truly made us realize that Jacoby was the perfect photographer for our wedding!
Hire her for your upcoming event or just as an excuse to get some wonderful photos!
Jacoby Photo and Design was the PERFECT fit for our wedding day. Photography was one of our top priorities when selecting vendors, and Jacoby did not disappoint. We were lucky enough to work with Jacoby on our engagement photo shoot (which she nailed!), so we were already super comfortable with her by the time our wedding rolled around. I was drawn to her ability to capture organic moments throughout the day as opposed to super staged, posed photos. The in-the-moment photos she took of each our parents especially are invaluable to us. I would hire her and her team again in a heartbeat!
Jacoby was an absolute delight to work with, from our very first introductory call all the way through to when we received our final photos. Her talent and professionalism put us at ease instantly, and we felt totally comfortable giving her creative control in the locations and compositions of our posed shots. At the same time, Jacoby has a gift for capturing those special candid moments between friends and family, and we have loved reliving our wedding day through her eyes. The photos themselves are absolutely wonderful. We will treasure them, and the memories of our wedding day, for many years to come.
My husband and I used Jacoby Photo & Design for our engagement pictures and wedding photos! Jacoby is amazing. She does a perfect mix of staged photos I wanted while also providing candids from the day. The candids are especially special to me of my dad and me. She is very communicative and speedy with edits! I've already recommended her to many friends, and I hope to use her for our life events in the future!!
It was really important for my husband and I to find a photographer for our wedding that was professional, made us feel comfortable in front of a camera, and produced insanely beautiful images to last a lifetime. That was Jacoby Photo & Design! Jacoby made us feel confident and calm on a day that was filled with nerves. Many of our friends and family even pointed out how amazing she was from their interactions. What’s even better is she’s a genuinely good person who cares about her clients. We wish we could take her to the PNW with us so she could be our photographer for life. She’s just that good. Thank you, Jacoby, for everything! We can’t recommend her enough!
When Jacoby was first recommended to us and we reviewed her portfolio, we were just stunned at her ability to make moments come to life in a photo. Her photos are dedicated to capturing the whole wedding day experience, including the unexpected yet beautiful moments that few people even notice. Now looking back at our photos, we am so amazed at how they can make us transport back to that day and feel exactly what we was feeling in the moment, and we can see how joyful and memorable the wedding celebration was for all of our family and friends. My husband and I will treasure these memories forever and can’t wait to have Jacoby continue capturing moments of our lives in the future. If you are considering Jacoby for wedding photos, you have my full recommendation! Best photographer in STL!
Jacoby is simply the best. Hands down a phenomenal photographer and person. From our very first convo she made my husband and me feel so at ease.
Her photos warm your heart, evoke emotion and capture the little moments that you want to remember for ages. If you want timeless yet artistic photos she is your photographer! She captures all of the big and small moments; in particular the moments that will have you saying “oh, I’m so happy someone caught this candid!” It’s been almost three months since our wedding and people are STILL commenting on how amazing our photos are.
We love Jacoby so much and we will truly treasure her photos for years to come. We look forward to booking Jacoby on our next big milestone!
Jacoby was a no brainer choice for our May 2022 wedding. Looking at her portfolio, I was instantly captured by her ability to freeze feelings in her candid shots, and she delivered exactly that. I loved the color, joy, and high professionalism exuded in our photos, and was thrilled to have more than just posed, formal portraits. Jacoby's easy demeanor and laid back attitude (but incredibly organization and knowledge of our spaces) made us feel she wasn't intrusive in the slightest, which can be a big feat for a wedding photographer. She is so very talented and we'll treasure our pictures forever!
Wow! We will be booking Jacoby for any and every other need possible! She was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish and she was so helpful along the way. She was able to capture our relationship and convey it through pictures- her talent is undeniable. Thank you Jacoby!
Chris and I loved working with you. The fact that you stuck with us through two date changes was HUGE. Pictures were really thee most important thing for our special day and I did NOT want to lose you!
I love the pictures of my parents, my dad and I’s first look, my brother and I’s hug, and Chris’s face when I came down the aisle. Candids are really the best part of reliving an experience. Your knowledge of working with the always delayed wedding timeline and large groups of people was unmistakeable. Thank you for letting us keep the magic of that day forever.
Yes, just yes. If you are looking for a photographer for any type of occasion you have found her. We were lucky enough to have Jacoby do both our engagement and wedding photos and she was an absolute dream to work with. Not to mention the photos were above and beyond my expectations and I am absolutely in love with them (which says a lot coming from someone who absolutely hates pictures of themselves). She made us feel so at ease and the experience actually really fun. Would highly highly recommend!!
Jacoby was amazing!!! We got married at the end of May 2021. We had been planning the wedding during the height of the pandemic, so although we exchanged phones calls and emails, we never actually met Jacoby in person until our wedding day. When we did meet her, it felt like we'd worked with her 100 times before. I feel like my husband and I aren't always the most photogenic, but she captured the day wonderfully and managed to make us look amazing! She was so organized and great to work with and has a very calming presence. 11/10 Highly recommend!!!!
As soon as I saw Jacoby's work, I knew I wanted her as our wedding photographer. She is so talented and captures the most amazing pictures! We ended up working with Jacoby for over 2 years (from time of engagement photos to our wedding, which was postponed a year due to COVID), and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! She is kind, thoughtful, organized, laid back and a pro at what she does. It felt like Jacoby anticipated our needs, sending us little notes to check in on us along the way and providing a wedding day planning timeline. Everyone felt so comfortable working with her on wedding day, and she kept things moving and kept us on track! Not surprisingly, our photos turned out absolutely amazing, and it's hard to even pick favorites because they're all so good! Jacoby captured every important moment and emotion of the day beautifully. We will treasure our photos for years to come and highly recommend Jacoby to anyone! She's the best!
Choosing your wedding photographer is a big choice. After all, for most people their wedding is the, or one of the, most important days of one’s life, and certainly the most photographed. My (now) husband and I deliberated long and hard on which photographer to go with, and ultimately landed wanting to go with Jacoby given she seemed (based on the photos we saw on her website/on the knot) to have a very unique talent for capturing very “raw” and “real” action shots that fully capture all the emotions and good stuff. And BOY are we happy we went with Jacoby as our wedding photographer! She was professional, helpful, and overall delightful to work with. We planned our wedding from afar so did not get to meet Jacoby in real life until the day of our wedding, though had an introductory phone call and another planning call a few weeks prior to the wedding (both of these calls further solidified our interest in Jacoby as she was clearly very organized and professional, and had a really nice, comfortable demeanor about her in these interactions). Working with Jacoby on the day of the wedding was a dream come true. She kept the schedule, and captured soo many magical moments. My husband and I were absolutely THRILLED with how our wedding photo album came out - when we sat down to look the photos together, i don’t think we stopped smiling for 2 hours as we looked through them all. The gallery is breathing taking, jaw dropping, just extraordinary! We were so blown away and “wow-ed” by them, and the photos made us feel we were re-living our favorite day ever. From the still frames to the action shots, we love our wedding photos even more than we imagined we would. A heartfelt thank you Jacoby Photography - we are grateful now and will continue to be grateful for decades to come as we cherish these photos over the years of our marriage! Without reservation, my husband and I *highly* recommend using Jacoby Photographer!
From start to finish Jacoby is a DREAM photographer to work with. She was always timely in her communications and helped me with timeline issues when I wasn't loving what our planner was requesting. As a slightly nervous bride on the morning of she made me feel calm as we walked to do our first look. She sent us some sneak peeks soon after our wedding and I was blown away by how beautifully they captured our moment. We extended our time with Jacoby so she could really capture a lot of the dancing portion of the evening and she did not disappoint. From the posed pictures that don't feel at all posed to the truly candid moments, Jacoby beautifully captured the glowing happiness we felt on our wedding and I'm so appreciative of her work. I only wish that we lived in St. Louis so we could continue to work with her for future life moments and events!
Jacoby was a fabulous photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. She has a wonderful eye for composition and editing and can control you during a shoot that makes you feel like you're meant to be in front of the camera. She is also fantastic at controlling rowdy groomsmen! We are so happy that we chose Jacoby and hope you do too!
Not only are her pictures amazing, but working with Jacoby was also so easy and stress-free! From beginning to end, Jacoby was easy to communicate with and responded promptly to all emails. She made me feel reassured and confident that our wedding day would be captured perfectly from beginning to end! And her turn around on editing was so fast, we had our whole album within two weeks, and the pictures themselves were absolutely stunning. Honestly cannot recommend her enough for all your photography needs!
Jacoby knows how to make your big day special and creates a unique, emotional, and beautiful gallery for you after all is said and done. She was so easy going and amazing to work with. It was a no brainer to choose Jacoby based solely on what I had seen of her amazing work, but on top of that she was extremely helpful in her communications, showed genuine care and consideration for us as a couple, and was all around just a breeze to work with.
We have gotten SO MANY compliments on how stunning our pictures turned out. I really appreciate how she used the features of our venue to amplify our photos to the next level. I cannot wait to have another reason to reach back out to Jacoby and work with her again!
Working with Jacoby was great! She took BEAUTIFUL photos that captured the feeling of our day. She was easy to communicate with, helped us to feel more comfortable and worked with us through our nerves on the big day. I would definitely recommend working with her!
I have admired Jacoby's work for years and could not be happier that she shot our engagement photos and wedding photos! I want to mention right away that during my entire experience as a "Covid bride," Jacoby was an absolute ally to me. She was so receptive to every idea and concern we had as we planned and re-planned our wedding, and her ideas were essential to us being able to have a meaningful wedding day despite the craziness in the world.
As for Jacoby as a photographer, there are so many things to love about working with her: her creativity, her quick response times to all our questions, her ability to make anyone and everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, but most of all her sense of what will make the photos special memories for the couple. Not only did we love working with Jacoby, but our family members and wedding party have also had so much to say about how pleasant she made wedding day photos for them. To know Jacoby is to love her and everything about the way she approaches her business. If you have a chance to work with Jacoby, we can't recommend her highly enough!
Working with Jacoby was amazing in so many ways! Not only were our photos absolutely incredible, but she made the whole entire process so easy for us. We didn't hire a wedding planner, but Jacoby helped us create a timeline to stay organized. Her communication was stellar, and she was able to provide many great suggestions from her years of experience. On our wedding day Jacoby had such a calm energy that put me and my husband at ease, and I know that played a role in capturing so many special moments. Her turn-around time to show me previews and then the full album was also faster than I could have imagined! I will cherish the photos Jacoby captured for the rest of my life. Thank you Jacoby!!!!
Jacoby is AMAZING! She was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She worked well with our wedding party and the variety of personalities that came along with that. Her work is beautiful and despite it raining our entire wedding day, she capture some beautiful photos. Her editing style was exactly what I was looking for and she captured some awesome moments that still bring tears to my eyes when I see the photos. She was attentive to details throughout the wedding day. The overall experience of working with Jacoby is exceptional. I would recommend working with her for your wedding or any event where you would need photos. She is fun to work with and brings good energy to the day!
Jacoby was absolutely amazing! She made everyone feel at ease! She is kind and funny! Most of all her photos are ABSOLUTELY SUNNING. I received a few photos day of, then her blog post with photos was up a week later, and I got all my photos only TWO weeks after our wedding. She is so thoughtful and we received little gifts throughout leading up to our wedding. She is very organized and helped me with my timeline and other questions I had. I will forever recommend her to everyone I know.
Jacoby is the best EVER! She is so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.
Jacoby was the ultimate professional for both our engagement and wedding photographs. She is extremely easy to work with, super creative, and takes exceptional pictures. Jacoby helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made our engagement and wedding photos a lot of fun. We can't recommend her enough!
Best decision ever! Jacoby came highly recommended to me from my planner and I couldn't be happier with our choice. From the first time I spoke with her on the phone, I knew this was who I wanted around me all day to document our wedding. She and Macklin were so easy to work with and produced beautiful pictures. 1 month later, we still look at them everyday and have a smile on our face. Thank you, Jacoby!
Hiring Jacoby was probably the best (and easiest!) decision we made during our wedding planning process (aside from saying “yes” to begin with!).
My husband and I hired Jacoby for both and engagement session and for the wedding, and could not be happier with the entire experience. From being amenable to negotiations on our package to making us feel completely at ease during the sessions to a quick turnaround both times with GORGEOUS pictures to capture our love, I feel like a Jacoby evangelist these days to anyone who will listen. Hire her - you will thank yourself for years to come!
Jacoby is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with, and I highly recommend her! She was the photog at my brother's wedding, and when my husband and I got engaged, we knew we HAD to have Jacoby! She was so helpful, and the whole process was so smooth, from start to finish. She immediately gets your vibe and puts you at ease. Our engagement pictures are amazing, and we get so many compliments! Jacoby is so great at making you feel relaxed and comfortable. I am a person who feels awkward posing for pictures, but she makes it fun and it looks so natural. As the wedding day neared, she was always available to answer any questions, which I had a lot of! Jacoby helped us plan all of the wedding day events to ensure the timing of everything was perfect and we didn't miss any pics. Jacoby is so flexible and supportive. We have a huge family, and Jacoby was so accommodating with all of our photo requests, which we so appreciate. She made sure we had every single shot of endless family combinations. And the pictures are awesome - we LOVE them. Jacoby's husband, Macklin, also helped photograph on the wedding day, and he is wonderful, as well! They are an amazing team and take beautiful pictures! We had so many shots of the guests at the wedding/reception that we never expected to have, but we are so grateful we do! Just another added benefit of working with them. We cannot recommend Jacoby enough!!
I am a planner like many of you I’m sure, so I knew I wanted Jacoby the second I got engaged. She had been the photographer at my friends wedding and I loved their photos - the style, the lighting, the creative feel. I had dreamed of what my wedding photos would look like for years, so I knew she was the one who could deliver. She delivered and then some! She was a pleasure to work with and we were able to share ideas for unique photos. She knows what areas/lighting looks best so we trusted her with all the details and we are so glad we did! We couldn’t be more thrilled with our photos. If you are looking for a sign - here it is! Choose Jacoby, you will be happy you did!
For me, Jacoby was the calm in the storm of my wedding. There were so many things to see and do and decide on, and sooo many family photos to take, and Jacoby led me and my husband through it beautifully.
I'm so grateful that we chose her to be our photographer, because with all of the wedding stress and wedding greatness the day went by SO quickly - and now I'm able to treasure these photos. She captured lovely moments between my grandparents and my friends and my in-laws that I wasn't able to see because I was busy being the bride, and I'm so grateful to have all of these amazing, curated images of the day.
We did the 6 hour package, and if I were to do it again, I'd either hire her for longer or do a package wit her photography partner (her husband!) so that we could capture more of the guests and moments at our large-ish wedding.
TL;DR hire her, she's great!
Professional, efficient, and fun. It is easy to see how talented Jacoby is from her photos. They are unique yet timeless and are something you can have pride in as your remember life's special moments. We hired Jacoby and Macklin, Jacoby's husband and photographer #2 in the 2 photographer package, to document our wedding and could not be happier. The photos turned out perfect and we would definitely recommend for photographing any life event.
Jacoby is phenomenal to work with! I got her name from a friend that works in the wedding industry and I am thrilled that i took her advice. Jacoby knows how to keep the mood light but can also take control of a group and keep things moving. She is all about the details and is 100% on top of her game. I am still shocked that she is so young but so amazingly talented. She got our pictures back so fast and they are stunning. I look at them daily :) HIRE HER!
Jacoby is absolutely amazing. She was one of our first wedding vendors we booked when we started planning and it was by far the best decision we could have made. She is not only a wonderful photographer but also just an amazing person to work with. She truly cares about your wedding day and makes the day so much easier and stress free because she has so much experience. She was a huge help with our wedding day timeline and made suggestions/recommendations on what she thought would work best. I think the most common thing we heard from our wedding party/family was that you almost forget she's there with you all day! She is not pushy at all and is truly there to document your day and help make you feel comfortable. I really can't say enough great things about her! Would also highly recommend doing your engagement photos through her as well, she is super fun to work with and every single one of our photos has turned out beautifully.
My number one top priority for my wedding day was having the best photographer possible to make sure I had beautiful photos and wonderful memories to look back on, even when the day was over. Working with Jacoby as our photographer truly was the best decision I ever could have made because she gave me beautiful memories and so much more. She told the story of the day so perfectly, and she put me and Drew at ease throughout the entire process. Even when I was a little behind on my planning, Jacoby gave me lots of guidance and reassurance and made the whole process easy and comfortable which allowed for natural, relaxed photos. I am not photogenic at all, but Jacoby's style and creativity is incredible and she took total control and I couldn't be happier with the photos. Along with her top notch work ethic, speedy response times to any crazy question you may have (frantic calls asking if your Fiance should wear stripes??!!), sweet and thoughtful notes of encouragement, and professionalism -- Jacoby is just downright friendly and comforting. I can't say enough good things about her, I would recommend her to anyone and everyone ( I did recommend her to my friends), and I would choose her again if I had to do it all over!
Jacoby was wonderful to work with. After seeing her portfolio, she was the first thing we booked for our wedding. We knew that whatever venue(s) we picked, our photos were going to make it something to remember. Between her flexibility with our engagement shoot and how she handled our day of, everything was perfect. We were anxious to see the final product and our teaser photos had us excited to see the rest. Not only did we have the best wedding photographer we could have hoped for, I can truly say that whenever we need a photographer from here on out, Jacoby will be our go to.
Jacoby was the first and best decision we made while planning. She was amazing to work with; fun, creative and very professional. Her work is not just beautiful photography, it truly is art. She handled our large family with ease and without anyone feeling rushed. We couldn't recommend her more!
Jacoby is honestly everything you could want in a photographer. She’s casual and makes sure you have FUN, but at the same time she’s incredibly trained and making sure she gets the best shot possible—it’s basically like you’re hanging out for a few hours but get incredibly gorgeous photos afterwards. I can’t recommend her enough!!!
We absolutely loved working with Jacoby! She did an incredible job capturing our wedding day. Jacoby was easygoing, organized, fun-loving, and professional. Our wedding photos perfectly captured the spirit of the day. I am so thankful to have such amazing images to treasure for a lifetime. I would highly recommend Jacoby Photo and Design.
Jacoby was the absolute dream to work with. She is so incredibly talented (stalk her Instagram and blog, seriously) but what makes it better is that she’s a genuine gem of a person that you’ll be happy to have on your wedding day and you’ll want to keep as a friend. She is EXACTLY the person you need. I had an all outdoor wedding and I was nervous about rain from Day 1. In our introduction call, she assured Aaron and I that even if it did rain, the pictures would be stunning. Of course, it did rain and she captured the magic of it perfectly. No wedding day goes perfectly, but hiring someone like Jacoby assures that you’re going to have a professional that can turn it to a bit of an adventure and a day that you’ll never forget. Our day was perfectly captured and I’m already scheming what I’m going to have Jacoby photograph next.
Jacoby is an absolute STAR! Before I knew I wanted to get married I knew I wanted Jacoby to shoot it. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. For our elopement, we wanted to have a carefree day hiking around the coast, early ceremony in the sand, no schedule and no stress. A day like that requires a professional that can balance stress, make sure all the shots get got, and know when to take charge and when to fall back. I cannot underestimate how critical Jacoby was to our day going just perfect.
The photos are so beautiful, so authentic, and so us - exactly what we needed to share with our loved ones and to treasure for a lifetime.
Call Jacoby NOW to be your wedding photographer! She is the sweetest gal and so easy to get along with. When we met for our engagement photo shoot I felt like we were instantly close friends! She’s so thoughtful and makes you not only feel comfortable but beautiful as well. Her photos are S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. She captures your day perfectly paying attention to every little detail. You need her!
Jacoby and her husband, Macklin, were so amazing to work with on our wedding day! We were so blessed to have such a beautiful, strong couple with us while starting our journey. An extra bonus was how amazing they captured everything. True talent!
Jacoby was absolutely amazing!!! We could not have been happier with her as our wedding photographer!! She was so much fun to work with, super thoughtful, the ultimate professional!! We are obsessed with every gorgeous photo she took! Her turn around time was unbelievable!! We could not recommend her more!!
Jacoby did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! She captured our wedding day so perfectly. I still can't pick a favorite photo because they are all so good. She makes you feel so comfortable immediately. She even eases the wedding planning process by being so on top of everything! Highly recommend.
I am absolutely in LOVE with Jacoby's photos of our wedding! Her style of catching more spontaneous, candid, real moments was exactly what we wanted. Not only did she capture my husband and I throughout the night, she was able to take some really beautiful pictures of our family and friends during our ceremony and reception. I'm also so glad we did an engagement session with Jacoby. Her chill but confident style made us feel comfortable and had us laughing the whole time. By the time the wedding came around, it was nice to have a familiar face taking our photos. And if all that wasn't enough, she sent us our pictures back incredibly fast! We happened to be on our honeymoon when our photos were finished. We were able to take a night of our honeymoon and relive our wedding together, which was really special.
I can't brag about our photos enough. I would (and do) recommend Jacoby to everyone I know!
Hiring a wedding photographer is a really stressful and important decision when you’re a bride. I am so incredibly grateful that I found Jacoby and that she was the one to capture our special weekend. From the beginning, working with her was seamless and pain free. She responded quickly and was always available to answer any questions we had. Our engagement session was fun and I still can’t get over how incredible the shots ended up being – especially since it was the first time we met her. Jacoby is professional, polished, SO talented, and has a wonderful demeanor that is so calming – something that is SO important on your wedding day. We loved her so much that we hired her to shoot our Friday night welcome party as well. Our wedding photos are so beautiful and so unique. Hire her. You won’t be disappointed and it will be the best decision you make throughout your planning process.
Jacoby is the absolute best! She made everything so easy and simple, from engagement pictures, to planning, all the way up to our big day. She was always prompt in answering emails and questions, and made us feel so comfortable every step of the way. Looking back at our wedding photos, she captured so many intimate moments and details that we will cherish forever, and we cannot wait to work with her again! Hire her, you will not regret it!
Jacoby is the best! I found her on Instagram and knew right away I wanted her to shoot my November wedding. She specializes in intimate, natural, artistic shots without the unnecessary posing that many other photographers do. From start to finish, she made us feel relaxed and comfortable, planning out the day's timeline, smoothing over any glitches that happened, and joking around with the wedding party. And less than a week later, she already had many of our pictures edited and posted to her blog. Hiring Jacoby was the easiest and best decision we made in the whole process!
There are not enough words for how amazing Jacoby is. She puts so much effort into making sure her clients are well taken care of. Can we talk about how awesome it is that she creates a timeline for your special day? Amazing! Made the day so seamless.
I am so thankful that I found Jacoby! She not only helped me along in my own photography business but she also made me feel like a queen on my special day.
The end result: MY PICTURES ROCKED! I love every single one. The pictures were amazing quality, she captured details that I could have easily forgot and so much more.
Jacoby is amazing, choose her!
Jacoby's photographs are incredible! She was also the photographer at my brother’s wedding and once I saw his photos I was in love. Her images feel and look authentic and real, the use of light and richness of color and her eye for design is simply stunning! I cannot say enough about the quality of her photographs! She has a gift for capturing intimate, candid moments, ones that you will cherish for many years to come. She is professional, talented, captures an amazing amount of moments throughout your event, and is very responsive throughout the entire planning process. She even goes the extra step to make you feel special by sending little gifts or cards leading up to and after your event. Hiring Jacoby will be one of the best decisions you will make! :)
I recently got married and choosing Jacoby as our photographer was the best decision we made! Jacoby is so easy to work with and her photographs are amazing. A month later and we are still receiving compliments on how unique and beautiful our photos are. And what a quick turnaround time! We had our engagement photos within days and our wedding photos within a week! We are so impressed with how quick, knowledgeable and helpful Jacoby was throughout the whole process. We will always recommend her for any photography needs! If you need someone to document any major part of your life, you will not be disappointed with Jacoby Photo & Design.
Jacoby was definitely one of the top three decisions we made for our wedding day (and that’s saying something because trust me you have to make A LOT of decisions). She made us feel at ease in front of the camera, even when she asked us to do crazy things like run...down this hill...slowly...while looking at each other...and holding hands haha Our flowers were sunflowers and Jacoby noticed a little patch of them across from our venue and we were able to take some of my favorite pictures there. She has an wonderful eye for detail and I’m amazed by how quickly she works. I’m absolutely in love with our engagement pictures and the pictures from our wedding day. The only thing I would change would be to hire her for longer. I’m looking forward to having her take more pictures of us as our life progresses. She’s worth every penny and she will be one of the best choices you make.
Hiring Jacoby will be the best decision you make in your wedding planning process. From our first meeting, Jacoby made me feel at ease. My husband and I weren’t the most comfortable in front of a camera but having Jacoby over to our home for our engagement session just felt like having a friend over. Jacoby gave great direction, made us laugh and captured our best moments. The greatest gift of all came on our wedding day when Jacoby authentically encapsulated every emotion we experienced through her photos. Her photos are permanent evidence of the genuine joy we felt on that day. Oh, and on top of it all, we got all of our wedding photos back in less than 10 days! She does it all!
