We knew we loved Jake from our first family shoot with him when our toddler took off the clothes we’d picked out for the day and started running around the beach in his underwear- ...
Jake was completely unfazed. He did an amazing job of making our kids feel comfortable and drawing out their personalities in photos. He reminded my partner and I to take moments as a couple, and captured all of our relationships beautifully amidst the toddler chaos.
When Jake later photographed our wedding he continued to remind us to take moments together and was attuned to everyone, which is why I think so many of his photos capture connection and don’t feel staged. We told Jake we cared most about candid moments/relationships in our photos, and he absolutely delivered. We got so much positive feedback from our family and wedding party about how comfortable Jake made them feel. He is professional and comes with a clear plan for the day based on your input, but also brings a sense of humor and warmth that puts others at ease and helps to them to be in the moment. He discretely and thoughtfully captured the ceremony and worked the party like a team of photographers despite shooting solo that day. We love the final photos and plan to reach out in the future for family photos and other life milestones.
We also had beauty with Ash and her team and could not recommend a better person for wedding glam. I was very nervous about booking this specifically because myself and the majority of my bridesmaids had shared stories about getting hair and makeup done for weddings that we ended up having to take off because it was completely overdone, or felt like we looked like strangers in photos later. I think we had 16 beauty services that day and every single person loved the finished product. Ash knew exactly what was needed for my hair and makeup to last and shine through in photos, while keeping it soft and subtle like I’d asked for. Her team asked for inspo pictures and took time to figure out what we wanted. They would check in throughout the process to see if we wanted more or less of some element. Ash was was grounding, warm, funny, and reminded me to take care of myself aka eat food.
In general Love and Wolves Co bring a perfect combination of experienced and down to earth vibes. They are a dream team and pleasure to work with!
Top Takeaway: We have never met anyone more chill and yet more capable to get huge groups of people to do exactly what he needs them to do than Jake. He has both a commanding and t...
otally natural presence. Jake is so organized, so experienced, and so aware of his surroundings that he can handle any strange hiccup – rain in the middle of a shoot? Missing a glass to stomp on? Jake sees it. Jake is on it. And he’s capturing every moment without a sweat to produce the most breathtaking photographs.
Prep Process: During our initial Zoom meeting with Jake, we shared our history as a couple and what we were hoping to capture on our wedding day: both the intimacy of knowing each other as long as we have, and the enormity of bringing together two (large) families and friends from many stages of life. Jake fully grasped the scale of the day, and we talked through exactly how we would achieve that. After we signed on together, Love & Wolves sent a detailed sheet for us to complete with the exact schedule of the day, inclusive of all three locations (hotel, first look location, and final venue), and a full shot list. To help prompt our thinking, they’d already filled out nearly every permutation of portraits we’d ever need. Their preparedness meant we could think more creatively about the shots we wanted, including large group photos of family and friends.
Creative & Execution: Jake has the highest observation and responsiveness skills I’ve ever witnessed. When he walked into my bridal suite on our wedding day to start shooting, I felt completely at ease. The professional was here, and everything was going to go smoothly. He knows how to read a room, a space, your face, your feelings, when to step in and step back. During our family portrait sessions, I felt a drop of rain, and my eyes quickly flicked up to the sky – Jake saw my reaction and immediately adjusted our pace to make sure we didn’t get caught in the downpour. Later, during our ceremony, just as my best friend was delivering her final remarks, a flock of geese emerged from the field behind us and flew overhead; it was a magical, gorgeous gift from the Earth, and Jake caught this serendipitous moment on camera.
Jake has unmatched instincts in recognizing tender moments and capturing them without being overtly intrusive. We experienced two particular moments that felt completely private to us in the moment; we were utterly surprised and pleased to see that they both showed up in our gallery, completely unbeknownst to us. My husband said, “These photos make our wedding look like the sickest, most fun, most epic wedding that’s ever happened.” This magical day is alive in my heart and head because of the photos Jake captured, and I cherish them deeply.
Jake did both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding (along with Shannon on video). Starting with the engagement shoot, I was really nervous and he made us feel so at ease and ...
comfortable in front of the camera. It helps that he is hilarious and insanely talented. The engagement shoot ended up being one of the best memories of the whole year for us. Fast forward to the wedding (80 people) - Jake was flexible, prompt, professional, and captured insanely gorgeous and diverse photos. His photography style highlights the beauty of little moments and never feels rehearsed or pre-planned. You don’t need a team of photographers for your wedding - you just need Jake.
We were lucky to hire Jake and Ash for our photography and beauty for our wedding this past June 2024 and give them our highest recommendation!
Jake was our photographer for our e...
ngagement shoot and wedding, while Ash did my hair and makeup trial and for the big day. They are incredibly organized and professional while being very down to earth--just the kind of people you want to support you through this process.
It was important to us that our photographer capture the candid moments, like a "fly on the wall" approach, observing everyone and their surroundings. This is why we chose to work with Jake. For our engagement photos, my husband and I were initially nervous in front of the camera, but Jake knew how to make us comfortable and make the process fun. On our wedding day, he took incredible photos of us, candids of our friends and family, and beautiful scenic shots of the venue. One of my favorite shots is a black and white photo of us holding hands in front of a huge tree.
As for my hair and makeup, Ash made me feel like such a star! She asked for my preferences well in advanced and for me to send photos of my outfit and ideas. I wanted a warm, peachy dewey look to match our 70s vibe and she delivered! She did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, niece, mother, and mother-in-law and everyone looked beautiful. She is truly talented and able to adapt to people's preferences of all ages.
Again, I cannot recommend Ash and Jake enough for your wedding needs! Book with them and you will be glad you did :)
We would recommend Love + Wolves CO to any couple! Jake went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was captured to perfection. From our first time chatting, we knew he would b...
e a great fit for our big day. He was professional, charismatic, and made us feel like old friends. He was an excellent communicator and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. On the day of our wedding, he arrived early to the venue and scoped out the scene prior to us arriving. He made us feel totally comfortable during our photo shoots. Plus, he allowed us to have some fun! We had multiple guests come up to us during the event and comment on how fantastic Jake was doing. We absolutely loved how our pictures turned out and will cherish them forever. Thank you, Jake and LOVE + WOLVES CO!
We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographer, Jake! Every single guest has raved about how stunning and artistic his photos are. Jake has an incredible eye for detail and c...
reativity, always finding the perfect spots and angles to capture magical moments. His vision is truly unmatched, and he made every photo feel like a work of art.
Beyond his talent, Jake was so professional and organized. He gave clear and thoughtful directions for poses and made sure everyone was where they needed to be for their moments in the spotlight. It made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
I’m especially grateful that we had Jake with us for the entire wedding weekend. It all went by in such a blur, but his photos captured every single moment, big and small, allowing us to relive the magic over and over again. These photos are now some of our most cherished memories, and we’ll treasure them forever.
If I could go back, I’d hire Jake for even more services. His talent and dedication are unparalleled, and I’d trust him with any event or project. Jake isn’t just a photographer; he’s a true artist and storyteller. Thank you, Jake, for helping us hold onto the most precious moments of our lives!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Love and Wolves and our incredible experience working with Jake for our intimate wedding. From the very first interaction to the deliver...
y of our breathtaking photos and videos, Jake went above and beyond to make our day feel truly special, romantic, and unforgettable.
Even though our wedding was small and intimate, Jake approached it with such care and attention to detail that it felt like the most important event of the year. His charismatic, warm personality made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. We shared so much laughter and fun, and his enthusiasm and dedication to his craft shined through in every moment.
Jake’s talent is undeniable. From meticulously adjusting my veil and train to ensure every shot was flawless to finding creative and stunning ways to capture the love and magic of our day, he thought of everything. His ability to put us at ease while capturing raw, genuine moments was truly remarkable.
The photos and camcorder footage exceeded all of our expectations. They were delivered quickly, and the quality and emotion in every image left us speechless. Jake captured not just the details but the essence of our love and the intimacy of the day.
Jake is a master of his craft, and we are endlessly grateful for his hard work, professionalism, and artistry. He made our wedding feel like a dream, and we will treasure these memories forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only capture your day perfectly but also make the experience unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend Love and Wolves.
Thank you, Jake, for everything!
Ash and her team were amazing every step of the way. From the initial consultation call where she actually got to know me, my vision, and what was most important to me, I felt like...
I had a team of people who exactly what I was looking for. It was really important for me to find people who knew how to work with my skin tone, face structure, and hair (I'm half-Chinese and so are two of my family members, and the rest are full Chinese), and Ash could read my mind. She paired me with a HMU team (Sheri, Madison, and Korynn) that executed perfectly on the first try - during our trial, I had no notes (though I was definitely safe to have as many notes as I wanted!!). They were able to take my vague vision and adjectives and turn them into a reality. During the HMU process on my wedding day, I felt so calm and comfortable, and so did the rest of my family. Sheri did my hair and makeup and I couldn't have asked for anything better! She made me feel beautiful. Korynn met me at the venue and stayed the whole night - saving me from when my tears almost ruined my makeup and my sweaty dancing almost ruined my hair. Definitely go the extra mile to have a HMU person stay throughout the night for touch-ups and definitely hire Love and Wolves - they will take care of you every step of the way and make you feel authentically beautiful!
There are so. few. vendors. I actually spent the time to write reviews for after my wedding. In this process, it's easy to feel like people over charge and under deliver. From the ...
moment our collaboration with Love and Wolves started, however, our experience was utterly flawless and transparent. Jake is an exceptionally organized and communicative person with a wonderful sense for pairing his photographers with the right couple. He knew immediately that G would be the perfect fit for me and my wife, and they were! G is a miraculous person, photographer and..since this review can't just be a list of positive adjectives...I'll have to focus on what the most amazing thing about G was. We knew from the jump that we wanted our photographer to be someone we could imagine being friends with. As a queer couple entering into the realm of marriage, it was so important that we felt safe and supported as we navigated a lot of firsts including kissing or dancing intimately in front of our extended families. We were able to express this to G on our first meeting and they instantly got it. They promised to celebrate and cheer us through the evening. And while we didn't need the emotional support we expected, G was alongside us all evening making us feel like deeply loved supermodels (which obviously, we are not). I will consider G and the L&W team for every single event we need photographed in the future. It's also wild because in addition to this amazing human energy, G is genuinely a sick photographer. They're talented at their craft and we loved every photograph they took of our city hall ceremony (in lieu of an engagement session). Everything was candid, natural yet poised and well-composed. We love you G and we're so thankful to you and your team, Jake!
I cannot recommend Love + Wolves CO enough! The pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous -- the little details Jake was able to catch in addition to the way he was able to capture ...
our personalities was absolutely phenomenal! We could not have found a better fit as a photographer!
We hired LOVE + WOLVES for photo services at our 2-day wedding. Jake was the very first vendor I spoke to, even before we had a venue or date. He was a standout from the beginning ...
- his work was beautiful but he also sent me a few venue ideas (before I hired him) as we promised to keep in touch about dates as those details came together. This is just his personality and it translates to everything he does. Jake (and his darling assistant, Andy) have an excellent eye for authentic and magical moments. He is a warm and most curious person, which I think is what enables him to draw out moments that others might not. He was so deeply invested in our well-being, our families, our cultures, and in our story. We felt so at ease in front of his camera, which has not been our experience in the past. I can't recommend this team enough.
Ash from Love and Wolves did my hair and makeup for my wedding (and the same for my mom, sister, mother in law, and sister in law).
She was able to come to Los Angeles for my tes...
t hair and makeup appointment and traveled to Los Alamos for our actual wedding event.
From the very beginning, Ash was easy to work with, receptive, kind, creative, and truly listened to me and respected my thoughts. I have had makeup done for previous events by others and have felt incredibly uncomfortable in how I ended up looking. With Ash, she made none of those mistakes. I did not look like a red faced ghost or a clown!
Rather, she matches my skin tone perfectly and did the perfect natural subtle-yet-enhanced coloring and makeup on me.
And my hair….I was full of ideas and Ash helpfully collaborated with me and listened to each new idea I had. She never got annoyed with me. We ended up doing extensions, braids, and using gold beads. I felt like a medieval goddess.
In fact, it was really fun talking with her and getting to know her. She has fantastic style and is just very chill and cool.
Ash is a young and contemporary makeup and hair artist who will not age you but who is able to morph and mirror whatever look you’re going for.
We were all so so so so happy with her work on us and felt gorgeous!

y manner. Photographer: Jake was outstanding and really captured the details of our day beautifully. He gave great direction and helped us get all the shots we wanted through out the event. We also booked the photo booth through L+W co and that is always a guest favorite. Highly recommend for future events and weddings.

ive, quick in their responses, works with you to curate the perfect plan for your special day and is extremely kind. The whole team is incredibly down to earth and personal. Rosie our photographer made us feel comfortable from the onset - she not only captured our vision, but she captured the candid, little, special moments that made for our favorite photos. Not to mention she was so much fun get to know on our engagement shoot and hang out with on our wedding day! Thank you Rosie and Jake for helping to capture the photos of our dreams that will make for lifelong memories!
I hired Love + Wolves for hair and makeup and I could not recommend them more. I was finding it really difficult to find beauty vendors who would do a more natural look. I'm not s...
omeone who wears a lot of makeup or tends to do fancy things with my hair, and I wanted to feel like ME on my wedding day. Most vendors I was looking at just didn't have the refined, natural standard I was looking for, but once I found Ash I knew I was in the right hands. I think she really sees and understands the sanctity of a wedding day, and creates a warm, generous, peaceful atmosphere. Your hair + makeup is the first thing you do the day of your wedding, and she started us off on the right foot--I wouldn't have wanted it to start with anyone else. I really appreciated that she offers a variety of services (ranging from partial hair/makeup to full) so that my bridesmaids could mix and match, with accessible price points for everyone. I felt like she was a really wonderful guide, with strong aesthetic values that harmonized with my vision so perfectly. My favorite part was getting to visit Ash's lovely home to have my hair trial--she was so welcoming and I could feel how special it was to be invited to her home. I loved working with Love + Wolves and couldn't recommend them more--although I only used them for hair and makeup, I'm certain that their other services are of the upmost quality and if I was doing it all over again I'd probably hire them for even more services!

he helped us create an amazing mood board that completely came to life on our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better creative collaborator! She also nailed my hair and makeup so I looked amazing! Her and Shannon took the lead on our wedding day and ensured that everything came together perfectly. They were so essential to everything looking good and running smoothly. Our photographer, Jac, worked so hard and captured so many amazing photos. It was such a pleasure to work with the entire team. The wedding was an absolute dream come true!

Ash and Love + Wolves made me feel absolutely radiant. Ash came in and made me feel comfortable and gorgeous. She uses the best products, is extremely professional, and beyond kind. I trusted her completely and our whole wedding party glowed!
I would recommend everyone to her and her team. They don't just do makeup and hair. They are a gorgeous full-service wedding planning team that will help make your vision come to life.
THANK YOU!!! <3 <3 <3

d classic. It was no question that I would be lucky to have them participate in my wedding after seeing their work up close. I asked Ash and one of her teammates to do my wedding beauty (along with other members of the bridal party plus my husband, who has long hair) and she nailed it. She manages to enhance a person’s natural look while maintaining their personal style and them-ness. So much bridal makeup looks heavy, as if it were applied with a shovel. Ash’s makeup is light, natural, but so beautiful—I felt like I looked like I was glowing with radiant love, but still looked very much like me. Ash’s teammate did my husband’s hair and knocked it out of the park. He wanted a Viking-inspired look and was given an incredible fun, unique, badass half-up, half-down man bun with a fishtail braid. Not only did Ash and her teammate make us look our best, but they brought a very grounding, relaxed, peaceful presence to our morning. They were exceptionally professional, easy to work with, and mindful of our wants and needs.
Stop what you're doing right now and just book this amazing company!! These may actually be the world's best wedding vendors. We had Jake as our photographer, Ash as our hair & mak...
eup artist, and Ben as our videographer and we are *obsessed* with each and every one of them. It is hard to express how much we love this team, but I am going to do my best here :)
Love & Wolves were the first vendors we hired way back in 2/2022, almost a year and a half before our wedding. They were the first vendors we spoke to, and we were so nervous about what to expect. Jake immediately made us feel so comfortable and we knew from the jump we had to work with them. Everyone was so amazing to work with
in the months leading up to the wedding, really fun and still professional, and they got us so excited for the big day.
On the wedding day itself, this team was INCREDIBLE. They are all *so* talented and worked seamlessly with each other, and all our other vendors.
Ash had the most amazing fun but calm energy, and her and her team did such amazing work. She gave such amazing advice, and we all had a blast hanging out with her. AND she did such a beautiful job. Everyone raved that no one has ever seen better hair or makeup at a wedding. For the bridal look, I had a very specific style in mind for my hair, and she totally met and improved on my vision. It was so unbelievably gorgeous! We also spent a lot of the day with Jake, and I can't think of a more fun person to hang out with. He was so upbeat and friendly, and it really felt like we were hanging out with a friend, which is so nice to have when you're with someone for so long. He is so creative and talented and was able to capture so many special moments, a lot of which I didn't even know that I wanted. Ben was our videographer, and he just absolutely killed it. He made us feel really comfortable, was so funny and laidback and had lots of really fun and creative ideas for the photos and video. This team really felt like family by the end of the day.
They also got a photo preview and our wedding video back to us super quick, and we literally can't stop looking at them. I was really nervous about it because I generally don't love the way I look in photos/videos, so if that's you, rest assured you will love the final product. They are seriously the most beautiful pictures and film I've ever seen! We are truly so lucky to have worked with them, and I highly highly highly recommend that you book these amazing people!
Jake at Love+Wolves is absolutely the best!
We were blown away at how great his 8mm film turned out. It somehow made me nostalgic to watch it even though it had only been a couple...
of weeks since the ceremony! Jake made everyone look beautiful and effortlessly cool and captured the vibe of the day perfectly. I tend not to enjoy watching myself on video, but I was just grinning the entire time we watched. I also have no idea how he got so much amazing footage while still shooting a ton of perfect photos all day! It was so seamless and we almost didn’t notice the video camera. This video is easily my favorite artifact of the day and I’m so glad we have it.
As far as the photography goes, we were in such good hands with Jake. He has so much skill and style, which you can obviously see by looking through his portfolio. He’s genuinely fun to hang out and chat with, and he made everyone feel so comfortable and confident. My bridesmaids yelled “COOL PHOTOGRAPHER!” at me, so you know everyone was feeling their best in front of his camera. Getting beautiful, authentic, fun and candid photos of our family and friends (and dog!) was a top priority for us, and he knocked it out of the park. We’re so glad we found Jake! We’re left with zero regrets and a ton of awesome photos.
Working with the Love & Wolves Co beauty team was an absolute dream. From first contact, Ash’s passion, natural artistry and years of experience in the wedding and beauty industrie...
s were evident. As a casual and less traditional person by nature, I struggled to envision myself as a bride and to articulate what I wanted for hair and makeup. Ash was flexible and intuitive. She took the time to understand our vibe as a couple as well as my personal style and wove it expertly into my wedding look. The result was better than I could have imagined. I felt like my authentic self while also feeling confident and glamorous. Ash absolutely nailed it.
The team also took great care of us on the day of. They were efficient and organized and provided a sense of calm energy amongst the pre-wedding chaos. Every ‘bridesmaid’ looked stunning with unique elements perfectly suited to the individual.
I cannot recommend Love & Wolves Co’s services highly enough.
Ash and her team are the absolute best- provided such wonderful guidance and the most amazing glam. Loved working with them so much!!
YOU'VE FOUND THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOUR WEDDING! Trust me. LOVE + WOLVES CO is the absolute way to go. We had an awesome experience and you WILL NOT REGRET THEM.
We planned to tie...
the knot near Yosemite in February of 2024, but had second thoughts and decided to elope in New York during our trip in April. So, we booked LOVE + WOLVES CO. and everything was set. That was until we changed our minds again, and booked a last minute appointment at the courthouse in Marin.
The Love + Wolves Co. team was incredibly flexible with our new date and were super understanding throughout the entire process, which was a huge relief for us. We appreciated Jake's professionalism and easy-going nature, which made working with him a breeze. You could tell Jake was passionate about his work, and throughout our entire portrait session, he went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy, and really showed how creative someone can be in one place!
Our photos turned out freaking awesome! I'm super critical on who we hire to shoot because I'm a photographer myself. So, we wanted our wedding photos to be different from the typical cookie-cutter images that you see from most wedding photographers, and Jake delivered something so unique to us. The photos captured our personalities, emotions, and love for each other in a way that was authentic and true to who we are.
Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience with Love + Wolves Co. and Jake. I highly recommend Jake to anyone! He has so much attention to detail, and was super friendly throughout the whole process. Everything came together perfectly and they played a huge role in our successful day!
Thank you, Jake, for making our elopement and portrait session so memorable and special!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Jake from Love + Wolves as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we met Jake, we knew ...
we were in good hands. He was professional, engaging, and had a great eye for detail.
We should also mention that our original date was in September 2020, but we had to reschedule it for December 2022 due to the pandemic. Jake was very flexible and understanding of all the change of plans.
On the day of our wedding, Jake was a joy to work with. He made sure we and our guests were comfortable in front of the camera and helped us to have fun while taking pictures. He was also very accommodating and willing to go above and beyond to get the perfect shots.
We all loved him!
The final product was nothing short of amazing. The pictures Jake took were stunning, and he captured all of the special moments of our big day perfectly. We are so grateful to have such beautiful memories of our wedding, and we have Jake to thank for that.
We highly recommend Jake and Love + Wolves for anyone in need of a wedding photographer. He is truly talented and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Jake, for capturing moments of our big day. These photos is what we will always look back to, and will cherish!
Excellent communication in the months before our wedding day. On the big day, Corey was an absolute pleasure to have capturing all the magic moments. He put everyone at ease and fi...
t seamlessly into the flow of events. Then we got the first "sizzler" reel and were blown away by the elegance, music, creative touches - top class, all the way around.
We booked Love + Wolves Co for our wedding photography after the recommendation from a friend. Do not have enough nice things to say about Jake and his team. They were super respon...
sive and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Our photographer was Kevin - who we LOVED! So laid back and friendly- and made us feel comfortable during both our engagement session and the actual wedding. The photos are beautiful- and completely in the laid-back, raw, boho style that we were looking for. The photos came out so authentic and natural. Would use them over and over again!
The Love + Wolves Co team has been the very welcome third wheel of my partner and my relationship for the past three years. They exceeded our expectations at every turn and we feel...
so so lucky to have gotten to work with them.
We first met Jake and Ash for engagement pictures in 2019. They have a creative and confident vibe working together and were so welcoming. I am not a big makeup wearer, but Ash did a great job of making me feel like a beautiful version of myself. Jake was really fun to work with—it felt like we had a friend tagging along for the day. Jake is incredibly talented and his pictures are wonderful. He can really capture the moment and can see light and perspective in a way that is truly unique. Every time we look back at our pictures, we find new ones to fall in love with.
Right away we knew we wanted to work with Love + Wolves again for our wedding. Jake and Ash were super helpful in coordinating, coming up with photo ideas, and planning travel for our dream wedding abroad. When COVID delt us the tough blow of having to cancel our plans, Jake and Ash rolled with the punches. They were incredibly flexible in canceling flights and were on board for our plan-b wedding on the California coast. Unfortunately, those plans fell through as well when a mudslide prevented us from accessing our venue.
This stint of bad luck seems ridiculous looking back on it, and we are so grateful to Jake and Ash for being the calm sounding boards we needed during this time. They helped us plan a last-minute elopement, which ended up being exactly what we didn’t know we needed. Ash did an incredible job with my hair and makeup. She had great suggestions with styling based on my dress (not my area of expertise), showed me how to wipe tears without smudging my makeup, and gave me a lipstick to use because I forgot mine. Jake captured every moment, riding in the back of our small Fiat along the twists and turns of highway 1 from Stinson Beach to Muir Woods. He helped us pick out photo locations and the pictures from the spot he picked on Mt. Tam are my absolute favorite to this day.
This past spring, we were finally able to celebrate our marriage with friends and family in Big Sur. Ash and her team did hair and makeup for our group exceeded all expectations. Ash has the best calming energy and she has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. She did the most AMAZING hair flowers for me. I felt like a fairy woodland princess, which was a dream come true. Jake was wonderful at balancing all the photos we wanted to take with friends and family with candid shots of people, food, and all the little details. He found little areas around our venue when the light was just perfect to capture some really special moments.
You can’t go wrong hiring this team. They are professional, communicative, artistic, cool, and SO on top of things. They really are the best at what they do and we are beyond grateful that they were a part of our unexpectedly long marriage journey.
Since the dust has finally settled on our special day, I'm writing this review for Ash and her team at LOVE+WOLVES. When I started looking for a hair/makeup vendor I was having a t...
on of trouble attempting booking someone. I stumbled upon Ash's work while browsing social media, I immediately was blow away by her work. The feel that translates from her work is literally quite magical. I feel silly saying that but truly it is. Her work is so unique and everything she creates is crafted with so much care/thoughtfulness. From the moment my partner and I decided to move forward with booking Ash, we knew we were in good hands. She quickly followed up with suggestions to provide to our wedding party of items they should prepare to bring and we began a discussion about what "vibe" "energy" "color" etc. I was hoping for on my special day. She was extremely attuned to what I was looking for, it was extremely important I "recognized" myself on my wedding day-I didn't want heavy makeup, and was hoping for something more natural. I got exactly this and more. On our wedding day Ash and her team were so invested in us. I mean seriously, she kept checking in with my partner and I to assure we ate and kept hydrated! She did not hesitate if we had any last minute requests and/or changes, she was so receptive the whole day. To say a vendor feels like family seems weird, but in this case it isn't for me! Ash is truly talented in her craft. Thank you a million times!!
What to say? Look no further than Love & Wolves Co. for out of this world wedding photography. Jake, Steph, and Ben brought a unique, fresh, & authentic aesthetic that (in my opini...
on) is incredibly difficult to find. No cheesy, staged wedding photos here! One review of their instagram and I knew this team was IT!
Hiring Jake & his team for photo and video was the best decision we made, and one that I felt confident about from the beginning. One thing I really appreciated was how incredibly collaborative and receptive Jake was to any ideas/inspo I had for our photos.
Our first meeting with Jake was to shoot our engagement photos. His warm presence immediately made us feel comfortable, as if we were old friends catching up. Everything about the shoot was super chill and good vibes. This made us super excited for our wedding day, as I knew we were in great hands.
On our wedding day, multiple people in our wedding party commented on how smoothly the group photos went - nothing was too long or drawn out, and even though I’ve only seen the preview, I am truly blown away by the magic Jake & his team were able to capture!
Love & Wolves is the real deal, don’t even think twice about it!! Hire them for your wedding!!!
We used Jake and Love and WOLVES for our wedding photography and it was such a great decision. From the booking process with their team, to the vibe he brought day off, to the actu...

First off, Jake is a fabulous human. Incredibly kind, humorous, warm, easy-going and fun to be around. While no one chooses their photographer strictly for their personality, the i...
mportance of having folks around on your wedding day who are not only talented but who bring you peace and joy throughout the day cannot be understated. From the initial meetings all the way through the wedding, sneak peeks, and retrieval of the full wedding album, Love and Wolves are a team of organized professionals who will make sure you are getting exactly what you hoped for and beyond. They capture the movement, the life, the energy, the ~vibes~ of a wedding so phenomenally you can feel exactly what your friends and family were experiencing in that moment. Highly recommend Jake and his whole team!
Ash was an absolute godsend for our wedding! I initially found her to do hair and makeup and immediately brought her on for additional design services and eventually hired a month-...
of coordinator through Love + Wolves. Every step of the way Ash and her team exceeded our expectations and brought our wedding vision to life in ways I couldn't have imagined! At the time my husband and I were managing new jobs and a cross country move and working with Ash was 100% the best decision and best money we could have possibly spent for our sanity. We trusted her taste and design sense implicitly (and we are picky!) and she was always supportive and delightful to work with.
Ash from Love + Wolves did my hair and make-up on my wedding day. She also did all of my bridesmaids' hair. I truly cannot recommend her enough. She listened to my dreams and visio...

We hired Jake and Ash for our photography and beauty needs for both our San Francisco City Hall ceremony and our upcoming wedding reception in 2023 after they were recommended to u...
s by a friend. This was the absolute best decision we could have made.
I started the day with Ash. She has such good energy, and it was so calming and grounding to start the day with her. She also was such a champ and came out to our house early because of our early ceremony time. She made me feel like an absolute goddess and created a look for me where I felt gorgeous and like myself at the same time. In particular, I loved the flower crown that she created for me. The makeup look she did felt natural (not heavy) and looked amazing in photos. It was truly fun to spend time with her.
Next, Jake met us at the front of City Hall. It was so helpful that he had photographed here before, knew the lay of the land, and helped us feel relaxed as we checked in and prepared for our ceremony. He, like Ash, has a great and fun energy and felt like a friend right away. It was legitimately fun hanging out with him, and our families loved him as well. He knew all of the perfect spots in the building to take photos. After he captured the pure joy of our ceremony, he took us to the San Francisco Botanical Gardens where we took some more pictures that are just as stunning as our City Hall photos.
It is impossible to express how happy we are with the photos and the way we look in them. They capture the love we have as a couple and the fun and happy feelings we felt that day. We look at them often and they make us so happy. This was an amazing investment and experience, and we are so excited to work with Jake and Ash again in 2023. If you are considering this amazing duo, go ahead and book them - you absolutely will not regret it.
We couldn't be happier with our experience with Jake, Rosie, and the whole L+W team! They were recommended by our planners @ Komolmis, and from the moment we had our first chat wit...
h them, we knew they were the right team for us. Jake instantly made us comfortable in front of the camera—his energy was very friendly and welcoming. He's also hilarious and a great guy, which certainly helps put even the most camera-shy people at ease. On our wedding day, Jake and Rosie struck the perfect balance of knowing which moments we wanted captured and which we wanted just for ourselves. They seamlessly went through our shot list without any hiccups, and throughout the rest of the night they blended in perfectly with the crowd; most of the time we didn't even know they were there. But we know they were getting some incredible shots. We can't wait to see the photos, but we know they'll be just as amazing as the rest of their work. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend!!
We are so happy we worked with L&W co for our wedding. We booked them for our photography and also for our beauty needs. Our photographer, Jac, was so lovely and warm and we felt t...
ruly captured the spirit of our day - she was incredible and we would be so excited to work with her again one day. And our beauty lead, Ash - who is also the owner of L&W co - was amazing, she made me feel like an absolute goddess, was so kind and talented, and also kept a cool head even when some bridal party members (read: my mother) decided to become a bridezilla. Experience was lovely, and photos turned out unbelievable, we are so happy!!
Jake & the team at LOVE + WOLVES are the BEST! Working with Jake, Kevin, and Ben was one of the most seamless and pleasant parts of our wedding weekend. Every time my fiancé and I ...
look at our photos and/or videos it feels like we are truly reliving the day. Love + Wolves captured us, the vibe, and our venue SO perfectly and Jake made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera. Our family and wedding party were all extremely impressed that he knew each of them by name after one introduction. Not only is Jake and everyone on his team extremely talented, they were so flexible to work with and brought amazing energy to the whole weekend.
My fiancé & I could not recommend Love + Wolves more!!! HIRE THEM NOW.
Love & Wolves Co are a dream to work with! From initial contact all the way to the wedding day they were our cheerleaders and rooting for us to succeed. When we had to postpone our...
wedding in 2020 to 2021(cough pandemic cough) that didn’t stop Jake from getting us what we needed. Our original wedding coordinator and photographer had previous engagements, Love & Wolves Co quickly found replacements. Kera was a dream coordinator! She made sure everything was taking care of and all that our ducks were in a row. The wedding day went off without a hitch. Jac photographed the wedding. She made my partner and I feel at ease and the photos turned out amazing! If you are looking for a company that can do it all, please look no further then Love & Wolves Co. They are a true blue company.
Hire this team. I’m serious. My husband and I still cannot believe how much Jake and Ash did for us and with us to help make our wedding the most incredible day. We hired Jake to t...
ake photos, and also hired Ash to help with design and beauty, and YOU GUYS. THEY KILLED IT! They were so much more than a photography and design team for us. They felt like old friends, pushing and guiding us to have the very best wedding.
Jake made our whole wedding party feel so comfortable. He was so creative and spontaneous, getting the most incredible shots that we never even could have imagined getting. He also advocated for us when things got stressful and really made sure we were happy and present all day.
And ASH! What a QUEEN. We hired Ash as our designer and she came through in every possible way. We had many, many calls where she and I just bounced ideas off of each other. She helped me to find things that I couldn’t have found on my own and she was super inspiring with so much of our decor and vibe. She stayed so true to our retro, groovy vision and made it so much more than it would’ve been if we hadn’t worked with her. She also did hair and beauty for my bridal party and myself, and WOW. My girls glowed and felt so confident and really looked like themselves, which was so important to me. And I have never looked more beautiful. Truly. I was so happy.
Every aspect of our day was better because we had such a dedicated team. Ash and Jake truly put so much energy into making us feel confident and comfortable and excited and heard. I’ve said it so many times to so many people, but our wedding was what it was because of Jake and Ash.
We were living in New York when we got engaged, and moved to California where we got married. Thank GOD we found Love & Wolves Co.! We were able to have the wonderful Hannah shoot ...
our engagement photos, and had Jac with us on our wedding day. We ended up with some of the most wonderful pictures we could have imagined for both of those days. And in the background, Jake was communicating with us along the way and steering the ship for his amazing team. The photo editing is BEYOND incredible — the vibe that you end up getting through the photos is like nothing else. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about them, and neither can we! After an incredibly stressful wedding year for vendors, Jake and his team were nothing if not professional, timely, and so so talented. Our only regret is not getting to meet Jake in person — he seems like the ultimate badass and you can see from other reviews how absolutely beloved he is and how well deserved all the praise is. Regardless, you will NOT regret going with L&W co for your wedding and/or engagement photos, trust me. Thank you to the entire Wolfpack, you guys are the best of the best!!!
Jake and his team were so easy to work with and did an incredible job- our photos look beautiful and he captured our wedding perfectly and was fun to spend time with on the big day...
! Ashley and her team did hair and make up and was so great to work with a husband and wife team who can communicate so easily about the aesthetic. Highly recommend!!
Love and Wolves were great from the start! We were looking for easygoing, talented, and professional photographers and we found it with this team. As soon as we spoke with Jake, we...
knew that we needed to work with Love and Wolves and it was reinforced after working with Natalie during our wedding day. Natalie was so patient and her demeanor provided such a positive and calm energy, which was so helpful during the wedding day. I also loved that I knew she was there but completely blended into the party. We cannot thank you enough for everything.
We had the pleasure of working with Jake for both our engagement and wedding photos, and we can't recommend him enough! He is incredibly talented. A genius. We are always blown awa...
y at how beautiful every single photo turns out.
Jake is also a super personable guy, really easy to get along with, and makes you feel at ease. Obviously very important on a day like your wedding!
We can't wait to work with him again. Highly highly recommend.
We hired LOVE + WOLVES after interviewing 4 other photographers. We knew from the initial welcome call with Jake there was no doubt he understood us. And that was back in Nov 2019 ...
(AH!) Jake rode the rollercoaster of postponements, answered our multiple emails/phone calls with patience and support. We FINALLY got married on 10/9/2021 and our photos rock! Natalie was our shooter and she was the absolute best from start to finish, we were in awe of her patience, creativity, thoughtfulness + collaboration. She went above and beyond to get every single picture imaginable... we can't thank her enough for the amount of work she did for our day and the preparation leading up to the big day. We are so happy we chose L+W to be a part of our wedding!
I very highly recommend Ash and her team! My husband and I had a very small wedding with just our immediate family. Ash helped identify and coordinate all the wedding beauty for da...
y-of, including last minute additions of hair and makeup for my mom and future mother in law. Shilo, the stylist, was absolutely lovely, and we all felt so lucky to have her hang out with us as we were getting ready!
I can't say enough about how wonderful Love & Wolves was to work with. Ash did my styling for all wedding events as well as my hair and makeup for the rehearsal and wedding day. Fr...
om the first time I talked to her, she made me feel so comfortable and even more excited for the events to come! She takes the time to really get to know you, your style and then works to build a look that is 100% you - just elevated. Ash finds styles that I would never have been able to discover! She found looks that were so unique, I had people messaging me for weeks asking where I got the pieces she found. Not only is she is an insanely talented stylist, but she is an equally skilled one woman glam squad. I swear to you, I have never liked my hair and makeup when I have had it done in the past. But with Ash, I always looked like myself, just the best possible version. She is up on the latest trends to, so feel free to bring her Pinterest inspiration - but she will ALWAYS level it up with inspiration straight off this seasons runway. On the day of the wedding, she brought a team of wonderful professionals who were efficient, so kind and super talented. They made getting through a group of 14 women look like no big deal- and had a great time doing it, which was important to me as well!
Ash is a support system, a rational/honest opinion (always) and the vibes of an amazing friend you want in your corner on your special day! Can't say enough good things about her - other than I will be looking for excuses to work with her for years to come!!!
We hired Jake & Ash for our daughters wedding in Felton, CA (near Santa Cruz). They own this company and are an amazing couple, AND amazing humans, individually! Jake was our phot...
ographer and Ash lead the beauty team of 3 for hair and makeup. Looking thru their portfolio, and embarking on many conversations, our daughter and future son-in-law knew this was the team for their once in a lifetime day - their wedding!!! Our daughter opted for a couple of “dry runs” before the wedding AND in the end chose a first look for the ceremony and a second look for the reception. Amazing….. We received a few photos within a couple of days of the wedding date to preview. Wow - all were stunning. We can’t wait for the final photos to arrive!!! This company does it all - they are a full service entity. Don’t miss out on these beautiful humans who just happen to be creative, kind, and LOVE what they do!
Ash was amazing. I got married in August 2021 (after rescheduling from April 2020) and I felt like an absolute beauty queen. I had already paid for an expensive trial with a differ...
ent hair/makeup artist who made me look like a clown, so I was feeling nervous when I reached out to Ash. She understood exactly what I wanted in terms of a more natural look (light makeup and hair down in loose waves with no veil). I felt like myself but at my most beautiful. The best part was the look lasted from photos at 3:30 PM to midnight. My hair, which never holds a curl, stayed voluminous and out of my eyes for over 8 hours. My makeup looked great all night long too. Thank you, Ash! I can't recommend highly enough.
