my skillset.
Starting in early 2014, my wife and I began shooting together. This eventually lead to the establishment of Gleimlight, our photography studio. In 2017 we took the leap and went full time with our studio. Over the years are studio has grown and branched out, adding wedding video services under the name of SD Wedding Films. As life continued we've been blessed with a beautiful baby boy, and a baby gril now on the way. As we welcomed our baby boy into this world my wife put down her cameras, for now. I have a decade of experience in this industry and a roster of associate shooters I can all on at a moments notice for emergencies or additional hands.

Jake was amazing to work with!! My husband and I are both awkward and goofy in front of the camera and he was able to make us comfortable and get great shots regardless of our craziness! The fact that he was able to get the pictures that he did and the video reel all by himself is insanely impressive, we would go with Jake again for any event!!
Jake did our photos and videos and working with him was a pleasure! Due to the makeup artists arriving late, our timeline was compromised however, Jake just rolled with it and was still able to take beautiful photos/video. My husband and I are not too comfortable with posing for photos but he made us feel very comfortable and helped us feel our best! In addition, we have a huge family and he was able to smoothly gather everyone and take family pictures in a timely fashion. The photos and video ended up amazing and I definitely recommend hiring Jake!
Jake was the absolute best! My husband and I did a simple elopement on Sunset Cliffs and went with his photo and video package and we do not regret it! My husband and I are very goofy and we just love to laugh and smile and he was able to capture that in every single one of the photos. He was also able to accommodate for my last minute booking which was just amazing! I would 1000% recommend Jake for any of your photo needs!!
Jake did both the photography and the videography for our wedding. He was absolutely amazing! The photos and the video turned out absolutely amazing. More than anything I could have asked for. It was also so nice to work with just one person. My husband (I can say that now!) are not comfortable behind the camera. Jake knew how to pose us to make us feel comfortable and how to make the moments authentic but still very beautiful in the photos.
He also was incredible friendly with all the guests, getting pictures of our friends and family that we would have never thought he would have gotten. I don't know when he found the time to!
The photos are like looking through classic and timeless movie, they are so cinematic and breathtaking. We can't wait to print them big and frame them up around our house when we move in.
I've watched the video, like a 100 times. It's such a fun recap of the whole wedding day and he let us pick the song for our video so we found one we absolutely adored.
One of the most important details for us, was having all of the raw video, so we could watch the ceremony and our first dance, in full. Jake provided us with all of the RAW footage in one 3 hour long video that has all of the other amazing moments from the day added in. He informed us that it would be un-edited but to me it looks incredible! It all sounds incredible. We looked at other vendors but they described their raw footage a dropbox folder full of files and the last thing we wanted to do was sort through a bunch of clips. It was such an amazing experience to watch our whole wedding after our honeymoon.
Hands down, booking with Jake was the best decision we made for our wedding day! I can not recommend him enough!
Our photography and videography vendor canceled on us literally the week of our wedding! We found Jacob and he was able to accommodate our last minute booking.
