I will forever recommend Jake for a videographer! We did our ceremony in Moab Utah. Jake traveled and was stoked the whole time to be there! He made us feel so hyped and comfortable! Everyone one of the guests commented on how awesome “our video guy” was! Jake makes you laugh, gives amazing ideas and prompts and you can genuinely tell how much he loves doing his job!!
Working with Jake was amazing! He helped us and worked with us every step of the way before our wedding through our bridal photos and through our wedding to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and we satisfied with the photos and videos we recieved. Even afterwards he stayed in contact and tweaked everything until it was perfect! I would totally work with him again!
Jake was top-notch for our wedding! Easy-going, characteristic, and super efficient, even my guests noticed how on top of his job he was. I’m so excited to see our photos, but I don’t even need to see them to leave a Fantastic review! He does amazing work, clearly knows what he’s doing, and Was a great addition to my wedding!! Him and his assistant pulled off a job I thought no one could do and I’m sure captured all the beautiful moments of my day. If you’re looking for a reliable and enthusiastic photographer, Jake is your guy!
Jake is a great choice for your wedding! He is easy and fun to work with, makes everyone feel comfortable and produces great memories through videography and photography. Us and our guests loved having him as a part of our day.
Jake is absolutely the best!!! Our wedding was 9/9/23 and he was just so wonderful. He definitely makes everyone comfortable and he goes above and beyond on everything he does. He included so much of our day and our loved ones! I haven’t got our video back yet but I can’t wait to see it! I could seriously write a whole book on how sweet this guy is and how wonderful he was at our wedding! You are definitely missing out if you don’t book him!!
Our wedding day was undoubtedly the most special and cherished moment of our lives, and we were fortunate enough to have an exceptional videographer Jake who captured every magical detail. From the start, he displayed a level of professionalism and enthusiasm that immediately put us at ease.
The highlight video he crafted was an absolute work of art. It flawlessly encapsulated the essence of our wedding day, capturing all the heartfelt emotions, joy, and love shared between our families and friends. It's a piece of art we will treasure for a lifetime, and we're grateful for the care and dedication he put into making it extraordinary.
Additionally, the dance edits were nothing short of spectacular! He managed to turn our simple dance routines into cinematic masterpieces, complete with perfectly synced music and impressive visual effects. The dance edits were not only enjoyable to watch but also brought back the euphoria of the day.
Throughout the entire process, Jake was an absolute pleasure to work with. He were attentive to our preferences and seamlessly integrated our ideas into the final product. His creativity and passion for their craft were evident in every frame.
When we received the final videos, we were genuinely astonished by the quality and attention to detail. It felt like reliving our wedding day all over again, and we've received countless compliments from friends and family about the videos.
In conclusion, we couldn't have asked for a better videographer to document our wedding day. His exceptional work surpassed our expectations, and we highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a talented, passionate, and artistic professional to capture their special moments. Thank you for creating memories that will be cherished for generations to come!
Thanks
I am so glad that I stumbled across Jake Swoyer Media - he was recommended by a bunch of other folks in a Utah Wedding FB group! I can’t say enough about how professional Jake is and the quality of work that he provides. We booked him for an engagement and wedding shoot, both photography and videography. My husband and I were so pleased with our sessions and the final photographs/videos we received! We've never gotten professional photos taken before and he made it so easy for us and made us feel so comfortable. He also turned around the final photos and videos quickly. He worked great with the coordinators at our venue and our other vendors, and our families loved working with him the day of the wedding too. He was also quick to respond to texts and knew some incredible spots for our engagement shoot. Thanks Jake!
Jake was absolutely amazing to work with during our wedding. His artistic approach really shine’s through while delivering on everything we wanted.
The drone footage was phenomenal!
We loved the way he blends everything together while capturing all of the right moments.
We couldn’t have asked for a better quality videographer/ photographer.
We highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture their next special day.
Jake is AMAZING! So helpful and personable and great to work with. He helped out with my wife and I’s wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with the result. Had great ideas for pictures but also let us do the stuff we had wanted to try. Great with the guests and very accommodating to a busy day. You can’t go wrong with Jake!
Jake did an AMAZING job and has a crazy fast turnaround for my pictures! I got them a couple weeks after my wedding and they look phenomenal! He was awesome to work with and was so much fun during my wedding to capture the day! Highly recommend him if you ever need a photographer!
My finance and I hired Jake to take engagement pictures of us in Southern Utah. He did a phenomenal job!! He was so much fun to work with and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Jake captured beautiful shots, along with some fun and candid shots (which are some of my favorite). I highly recommend working with Jake for your engagement or wedding photography or videography needs!
We absolutely loved working with Jake! We are completely obsessed with our video! Our guests liked his energy and vibe. He was very flexible with payments, which is so important when you are having a large wedding with everything due at once! We plan on using him again in the future for other big events.
Jake was the coolest videographer! He made it easy to not worry about what was happening and just enjoy the day and know he’ll do a great job! The highlight video was very well done, super fun and looked amazing! Definitely recommend Jake for any videography!
Jake goes above and beyond! We loved having him a part of our big day. He made it so special!
Hiring Jake for our wedding was the best decision I made. He was so flexible with time, fun to work with, affordable, and captured everything I wanted and more. I’m the farthest thing from photogenic and he still got incredible pictures! We had multiple guests at our wedding who even commented how he was so on top of getting pictures of everything and so friendly. I would definitely hire him again. Also my sister thinks he’s hot if that matters to you. 😜
We loved working with Jake- he was very communicative leading up to the event and took our vision into consideration. We requested the raw footage of the whole ceremony which he provided in addition to our highlight video. We’re very happy with both products- the highlight video was even better than we anticipated! We didn’t give much direction about the highlight video and it felt very “us” and Jake captured the vibe of the day very well. Would definitely recommend hiring Jake to be your videographer!
Jake was so fun and professional on our wedding day. He was very responsive, creative, and professional. We had a blast working with him & he made us (and our guests) feel so comfortable. He stayed until the end & captured such incredible photos of the reception as well! The photos and video truly captured the spirit and magic of the day. Our guests were blown away as well!
Jake is awesome! We got introduced to Jake via our DJ and we're happy that we went with him.
He has great communication skill; we had an initial meeting to go over our budget and our expectation of the videos. After which I shard with him our wedding timeline, we communicated via text about any wedding updates.
We only had 4 hours to go both ceremony and reception so we didn't have much time to waste, and Jake's ability to work well with others added such great value to how we felt the wedding go.
He delivered the videos on time. We are very happy with the wedding highlight video and the uncut ceremony video that we requested in our package.
Jake was a huge contribution to the success of the wedding. He was not intrusive nor turned our wedding into a photo shoot. When we got our photos, we could not believe how well he captured every emotion and precious moment. Throughout the entire ceremony and reception, my wife and I were pulled aside by our family and friends as they praised Jake for his friendly, kind, and FUN personality. When we got to our reception, he helped my dad carry ice from his car into the reception! He was a blast to have at our wedding and the quality of photos and videos he produced are ones that we are so proud to have and look back on. We were very lucky to have found him!
I cannot say enough about how AMAZING Jake is! We was so incredible to work with! He was so quick to respond, professional, and fun to work with! He is so funny and has the best personality that helped us feel so comfortable and take genuine pictures! He made everything so perfect and we felt so good knowing that we were going to get amazing quality pictures and video. He is the best and we loved his work so much that we had him come back for our family pictures a month later! We love Jake!!
My wife and I could not be happier that we chose Jake to capture our special day. Weddings are very stressful as it is but Jakes energy and guidance helped put my anxious mind at ease. As soon as he arrived, I knew we were in good hands and the video he created was amazing. His shots, song choice (which we left up to him), and editing skills captured the vibe we were going for flawlessly and we could not be more thankful. Would recommend him 100%!
Jake was the absolute best that we could have chosen for our wedding! He did our engagements beforehand, traveled with us to Hawaii for our wedding, and shot photo and video for our reception. He integrated everything beautifully and we could not be more happy with the end results! He did photo and video and was able to capture everything that I wanted. I am in love with our gallery and our video. He was fun and easy to work with and made us feel comfortable while shooting. Every time we got to work with him it was a blast. Definitely our go to photographer and videographer for all future events!!
Amazing guy to work with ! He makes sure you get everything you want and even more! He has amazing ideas and will do anything to get the perfect shot !
Working with Jake was awesome! He was able to work in our budget and create a great video highlight of our day. We called before to talk through our plan and vision, he showed up to all of our events throughout the day, was fun to work with, and had a quick turnaround time for the video. Highly recommend!
I am very pleased with the service from Jake. I Had a 2 day wedding that was out of state and he was willing to travel and get all the coverage. Jake is an absolute joy to work with. He keeps the mood light and fun and does a good job of setting up all the pictures and keeping the day moving. That took a great stress off me and I really made the difference. My wife and I are very happy with our wedding pictures and will be printing and hanging many of them. I would highly recommend Jake.
🚨🚨This guy is the best of the best. Sit down with him, go through it all, and he will get it done for you exactly how you want it🚨🚨
Work ethic: 5/5
Communication: 5/5
Quality of work: 100000000/5
If he’s available, there’s no one better for videography/photography for your event.
Just wanted to shout out and send a Five Star Thank You...to Jake with Pepper Mountain Media for his Five Star Service!
He captured our daughter's wedding day perfectly and his attention to every detail was amazing! He was so professional, fun and easy to get along with, by the end of the night we all felt like he was family. He produced the final video super fast and made sure we loved it! You better get him booked, cuz I'm sure his calender will fill up fast!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jake is an incredible photographer. My husband and I are so happy with how our pictures turned out. He made us a great short video and sent us over 450 high-quality edited photos. Jake was also extremely friendly and great at giving everyone instructions to make good photos. He is very talented and I can't recommend him enough!
Jake is absolutely incredible! I searched through 20+ videographers for my wedding before I found Jake. I knew what I wanted for my video and he definitely understood the assignment - it was everything I wanted plus more! My husband and I are obsessed with the videos we got and have showed them off to many people. Everyone (especially us!) are very impressed with them. His work, his ethic, his responsiveness, and his price are unbeatable and I can’t recommend him enough. We couldn’t have found a better videographer to help capture our day ♥️
Jake did great job! He was fun and easy to work with.
Jake is amazing!! He is so fun and made everyone so comfortable around the camera. He is so good at directing the shot and also got great candids!! So happy with his work!
We LOVED working with Jake! He made our wedding video and we’re obsessed with it. He was so easy to work with throughout the day and captured every moment without getting in the way like most videographers do. He’s just genuinely cool and amazingly talented. Great price for even greater work
Jake was wonderful to work with! He made us feel comfortable as an LGBT couple and produced an amazing highlight video for us in under two weeks. He also gave us some of the raw footage from the ceremony so we could really see everything. Not to mention he offers a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend!
Jake is the absolute best!!!!! He is such a blast to work with, has a wonderful eye for detail, very quick turn around time, and just has such a great energy. I am the most self conscious person alive and I absolutely loved my video and can't stop watching it! And I felt comfortable the entire time he was filming. It's the perfect blend of knowing he's there capturing all the moments, with a nice ability to blend in and appear seamless. I feel like he really captured the vibe of our event, and it was everything I ever wanted and more!
Jake is amazing! He is so kind and professional. I love his work and I’m happy to make him part of our special day! All the family was so happy with him too. He also was so patient with me and my English! If we have another event he is the first person I’m going to call! Thank you Jake 😁
If you want a dreamy, romantic video of you and your spouse surrounded by loved ones, book Jake as your videographer! You’ll seriously cry when you see everyone reacting to your big moment.
Jake was talking us through some great memorable picture taking and was an absolute joy to work with!!! Great attitude and attention to details.
Thanks Jake!!!!
I truly have so many great things to say about my experience with Jake. Starting with the most important aspect when hiring a photographer, the pictures! They were absolutly beautiful, so romantic and gorgeous edits. We were so so happy. The other things we thought was great is that Jake was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. He is willing to direct your posed photos if you would like, or take your direction if that is your preference. Since I had no idea of the posed shots I wanted I loved that he had ideas for us. Finally, he has been super responsive following the day and was accommodating to our requests. All in all a five star experience (and I am particular about photos).
Best decision ever to have Jake film our daughter’s wedding. His work & talent is unbelievable. Jake has a style and feel that you don’t get with your typical Utah wedding photographer/videographer…a style You want! He has an eye for capturing magical & unique shots & moments other people wouldn’t see & those moments become priceless, captured memories through his work. We found that Jake is so kind, friendly & easy to work with. He made it feel so comfortable, not awkward like we were being filmed and had to smile for the camera and force a moment. He just flows with everyone and by the end of the night we all felt like he was family or a life long friend. I asked if I could write a review for Jake because I wanted someone looking at his work and reviews to know they should 100% choose him to film their wedding or event. We are so happy with our video & grateful for Jake helping make the wedding day easy, fun and now a treasured memory.
We could not have been happier with Jake as our wedding photographer! He really went above and beyond. He’s extremely personable but also totally professional. He makes you feel completely comfortable and have fun while you take pictures! Our wedding was in the winter, and so for our bridals Jake risked the snowy roads and super icy walkways so that we could get excellent, winter wonderland bridal shots. Like he honestly froze his butt off so that we could get amazing pictures! I’m a person that gets super stressed for big events like this, but for both the bridals and the wedding, even though it was definitely not always easy for him, he’s always chill and dynamic and makes everyone have fun and feel at ease. His prices are totally reasonable but his work is top-notch professional. We were especially happy when we got the product, we couldn’t be more excited about our pictures and our experience! I’m seriously going to recommend him to all my friends, the quality of his photos for his amazing prices is a total steal.
Jake is so much fun to work with and we absolutely loved our bridal shoot video and our wedding day highlight video. He is quick to edit and very responsive. Jake was incredibly chill and calm throughout the entire process and was very easy to work with. The videos were fantastic and we got so many compliments on both the videos and Jake!
Jake was great at connecting with our guests and really capturing everything! The photos turned out amazing and I love them!
Jake did a phenomoenal job on our wedding photos. Although it was just a courthouse ceremony, he picked out several great spots to help us remember the special day. The quality of the photos is first rate...not just image quality but the spontaneous moments that he was able to capture. Those are the ones that made us both cry when we looked through them for the first time. He is lightning fast with his camera settings and adjustments, which means he seems to be always ready to snap the shutter. Great communication prior to and after our day as well. He had our retouched/edited album back to us in about a week, which was really fast turnaround. Highly recommended and I would use Jake again in a heartbeat.
We recently hired Jake to be the videographer for our daughters wedding. Let me first start out by saying, Wow! He helped me navigate the whole thing and was there to answer any questions we had. He walked me through everything he was doing and going to do.
Jake captured every aspect of the wedding, from the beginning to the end. The highlight video he did of the wedding was so much more than we expected. He was so wonderful to work with. Jake was professional and just fun to be around. I have had numerous family and friends rave about him and ask where we found him. I would 100% recommend Jake for any celebration you can think of.
There is not enough words to explain how much I loved working with jake! 3 days before my wedding my photographer I had booked originally had covid. I reached out to jake and he was more than happy to help me out. He dropped any personal plans he had to save me from having no photographer on my wedding day. He made sure I felt calm and comfortable even though we had never met until my actual wedding day. He was amazing. He got all of the photos I wanted and more. He was so easy to work with I couldn’t believe I lucked out finding such a good photographer 3 days before my wedding. I will definitely be using him again, and I already have another shoot scheduled with him. He made our day perfect and captured the day even more perfectly.
On our big day we sure do worried about everything since we do it by ourselves but Jake it’s not one of them. He impressed us at a very first second! Once our bride team gets to the venue I saw Jake is already there which our wedding is in the morning. He is so comfortable to work with, he is so friendly, professional, highly responsive and talented. He guided us what to do.. how to post.. to create the most beautiful pictures he captured every details with every memories. Comes out over 500 edited pictures absolutely amazing! I think we have chosen the right photographer can’t thank him enough. Highly recommend Jake Swoyer Media :)
Oh my goodness I don’t even know where to begin! Jake is THE BEST photographer you could ask for. He did our engagement photos, a really awesome wedding video with an extra session in the mountains, and hung out with us all day on the wedding day! He made us all laugh and kept everyone relaxed and casual for amazing candid shots to capture the day! Jake is absolutely the guy you should go with for your photos. My husband and I will be coming to him for all future family photo sessions!!
We loved working with Jake! We booked him as our videographer for our backyard wedding. He was very communicative during the time leading up to the event. On the day of our wedding he arrived on time and immediately got to work. He did video and pictures for us. His personality was so fun that we immediately felt comfortable around him, so all our pictures look natural. He was everywhere making sure to capture every moment, constantly taking video, getting detail shots of everything, it was great! As someone who loves to take pictures, I was able to relax and enjoy the day knowing he was capturing every moment. All of my guests loved him and kept asking me how I found him. The turn around time for our photos and video was super fast, I was shocked when I saw he was finished already, and the quality was great! Sent us way more pictures than we were planning on and the video made everyone in my family cry. 10/10 I would recommend Jake to anyone!
Jake was amazing to work with. He went above and beyond what we had asked for and expected. Our wedding video was absolutely amazing anx he did a great job at capturing our special day. He was great to work with and brought so much energy to our event.
If you are looking for someone who can perfectly capture the moments that mean the most to you, Jake is 1000% that guy. He was super easy to work with and made us feel comfortable and not awkward at all which is a quality not always found in this industry. The final product we received was more perfect than we could have ever asked for. His ear for utilizing our music choice as well and editing of all the video taken is unmatched and extremely eloquent. I would recommend Jake to anyone and will definitely hire him for future projects.
I loved Jake’s energy at my wedding!! He got lots of footage and was super easy to work with! My wedding video is beautiful and not your typical wedding video it’s more upbeat and fun! I definitely would recommend Jake to any soon to be married couples!!
