Choosing Sweetlife Photography for our wedding was definitely one of the best decisions we made! From the very first moment we met Jake at our engagement shoot, we felt completely at ease. He has such a natural ability to make you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease in front of the camera. We sent over some inspo photos for the shoot, and Jake executed our ideas perfectly—he is truly gifted!
On our wedding day, having both Jake and Anna with us was an absolute dream. They were with us for every special moment, capturing each one seamlessly without ever making us feel like we had to pause or pose in awkward ways. They blended into the day, capturing candid moments that we’ll cherish forever. It was such a relaxed and enjoyable experience, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
The photos are breathtaking, and we’ve already had so many compliments from family and friends. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Sweetlife Photography document our wedding. If you’re looking for talented photographers who make you feel relaxed, understood, and truly capture the magic of your day, look no further than Sweetlife!
Thank you, Jake and Anna, for helping us relive our perfect day through your beautiful work. We’ll cherish these memories forever!
Jake was so helpful and kind on our wedding day. He worked extremely hard to make sure we got all the photos we needed and was great to work with 10/10!!!
Jake and Anna did a phenomenal job with our wedding and engagement photos. It's evident from the moment you meet them that they really care about their work and artistry and that they're super experienced! I knew we could trust them with our special day and that they'd capture every important moment--and they did. We've received so many compliments on our beautiful photos. They also go above and beyond: For example, when I started getting sunburned during photos, Anna went and found me sunscreen. Cannot recommend them enough--our friends and family said multiple times how impressed they were with Jake and Anna. Overall, stunning photos and so easy to work with. Thank you, Jake and Anna!
Jake and Anna are an absolute dream team - they were everything we could hope for and more from our wedding photographers! They were incredibly communicative, responsive, and accommodating at every step of the process. Not to mention, they are incredibly kind people - we always felt so valued as clients and could see how much they truly cared about us and our wedding day. On our wedding day, they helped us balance getting all of the photos we wanted, while making sure we maximized our time celebrating together and with our guests. Jake and Anna were incredibly perceptive and attentive to us, our families, and friends throughout the entire wedding day, and they effortlessly kept our day on schedule while simultaneously helping organic, special moments unfold naturally. We don't take for granted how important this was to making our day feel so perfect, we are very grateful!
Of course, you just have to look at Sweetlife's portfolio to see the absolutely gorgeous, high quality film and digital photography they create. Our beautiful wedding photos and engagement photos are just what we envisioned - we're so thrilled with how everything turned out. We just love our wedding gallery, which perfectly captured all of the emotions, love, and fun that made our wedding day magical. We truly can't thank Jake and Anna enough for everything!
Jake and Anna at Sweetlife Photography were excellent in capturing our reception and our memories on film. The exceptional talent of Jake and the organization of Anna make them stand out in the world of fine art photography. Even before booking Sweetlife Photograpy, we were able to meet each other via Zoom to ask questions and they were the perfect fit for us from the start. We recommend their services to anyone seeking to capture the moment, creating memories, and taking quality fine art photos.
Jake was excellent behind the lens of the camera, directing poses and people, but also a true professional. He arrived on time and maintained a friendly, approachable demeanor. He planned the perfect time of day for us to go to a local spot to shoot some candid shots outside on our special reception day. He listened to our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the shoot. He was also adaptable to situations that arose since both our families are so big, being patient with everyone was much appreciated. Jake and Anna were very helpful in organizing how to utilize their talents when photographing our reception.
As soon as we saw Sweetlife’s portfolio on their website we knew we had to have them as our wedding photographer. During our initial meet and greet call we felt the effort, thoughtfulness, and professionalism that they would bring to every interaction going forward. On the day of our wedding Jake and Anna brought a peaceful and comforting energy, which was much needed on such a highly anticipated day. The quality of each photo is impressive, I think our favorite photo is every single one! We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. The entire process was organized and seamless, we enjoyed working with Jake and Anna and highly recommend them.
Anna & Jake photographed our September wedding and were so wonderful! They took the extra time to scope out the best lighting on property and hand picked locations for our first look and bridal party photos. It felt like Sweetlife really took the care and time to capture our big day perfectly!
We could not be more pleased with our experience of working with Jake & Anna - Sweetlife Photography. They are kind and extraordinarily professional. Jake and Anna's planning, scheduling, and detail-oriented attitude is what sets them apart from other photographers - a HUGE value-add. They lead the organization of our whole day and captured every important shot - making it so easy to just enjoy the moment. They are true artists in their craft, creating beautiful quality fine art photos - 110% worth the investment. If you want timeless, classic photos that perfectly capture your big day, choose Sweetlife.
Jake & Anna - Thank you for doing such a wonderful job memorializing our wedding for us. You are great team!
Absolutely recommend Jake & Anna for your wedding photography! They exceeded our expectations in every possible way! Their photos are so timeless & they perfectly captured our entire wedding day. Their photos really tell the story of our wedding day. We are so obsessed with all of our photos & feel so lucky to have worked with both Jake & Anna.
Jake and Anna were such a phenomenal team on and leading up to our wedding day in May. We didn't have the chance meet them in person before our wedding but it was such a natural introduction because of their diligence leading up. They took a lot of care in getting our timeline nailed down, providing their expertise on how to day usually flows, and getting to know us and the experience we wanted for our special day. Separately, their platforms and systems were SUPER easy to navigate and you can tell they really thought about the user experience when designing them.
They made us feel like we could truly focus on our day and getting to spend time with our loved ones while also capturing such stunning images to look back on. They were professional and divided and conquered flawlessly throughout the evening. Not only did they execute day of, but they also had so many great insights into other vendors they had worked with in the past since they are so experienced and well known in their field. They never made us feel like we were asking too many questions and they were so patient helping us navigate this first time experience!
Although their cost was higher than we budgeted for, it was worth the outcome and photos we got afterwards as well as how they navigated the day and communicated leading up to it. I couldn't recommend them enough if you are looking for an experienced team, with a wealth of knowledge, and beautifully light and warm photos that capture the candor and authenticity from the happiest day of our lives. Thank you, Sweetlife for making our memories from the day so special and sweet <3
We were so happy that we went with Sweetlife. Jake did a great job capturing the big moments of our special day and turning them into pictures we will cherish forever. He was also instrumental behind the scenes. Sweetlife has thought about every detail in their timeline template and we felt like they left no stone unturned.
Jake and Anna were awesome, friendly, and great photographers! I loved working with them for our wedding photos. They are great with communication from the day I first emailed them to getting our wedding photos. They were able to talk through the day and schedule everything from the morning to evening which made it so easy. They worked with the venue and made sure everything would go smoothly. They made the planning and the actual wedding day extremely stress free. They were so friendly, sweet, and attentive. I loved all their shots and their attention to detail. Very easy to work with and we would choose them 100x over!
Jake and Anna were so professional and more helpful than I could ask for! I knew I wanted them to take our wedding photos years before we were engaged. I am so grateful for them!
Jake and Anna at Sweetlife are phenomenal! It was such a privilege to have them photograph our wedding. Their work is timeless and ethereal - but their care and support goes above and beyond.
I was a 2020 out-of-town bride which made for many unfortunate complications. I was unable to visit the venue before the wedding, so Anna helped me with the planning and organization of the space. I could not have pulled it off without her; her advice and expertise were invaluable. They lead the creation of the coordination timeline as well, which was extremely helpful in the planning stage. I had booked with Sweetlife prior to the lockdowns, and they were so accommodating of us pushing our wedding date not once, but twice. They met with me several times as the vision of our wedding changed over the two years and I am extremely grateful for their patience and flexibility.
And the photos - the photos are AMAZING! We will cherish them for our lifetime. Jake and Anna have a magic touch and are able to capture the emotion and feeling of the day in a wonderful way. They were so fantastic to work with and made every aspect of the process so smooth and easy. They have such a calm and easygoing presence which helped us enjoy our wedding day without the chaos. We are eternally grateful to have had the privilege of them photographing our wedding.
We had such a great experience with Jake an Anna throughout the entire wedding process! They were super flexible in planning the engagement shoot despite bad weather at the Oregon Coast forcing multiple reschedules. Leading up to the wedding they helped us plan out every important shot for the big day and made sure everyone was coordinated and on track. Jake and Anna are true professionals and know how to make a wedding day run smoothly and on-time. The photos we got back were so incredible and we are so thankful for Jake and Anna's hard work. 10/10 recommend Sweetlife Photography to any couples planning their dream wedding. Thank you Jake and Anna!
When we first got engaged, our number one priority in preparing for our wedding was booking Jake and Anna to capture our day. We've always been fans of their work, and we were thrilled to see how they'd photograph our wedding. In the months leading up to the big day, it was always easy to get in touch with them and their tips/planning direction was invaluable. We recommend booking your engagement photos through them too, as it was a preview of how they'd direct and capture the wedding.
Fast forward to the wedding and their photos exceeded any expectations we had. Not only that, but their calm, professional presence on the day of is the exact energy you want around. I am not a natural in front of the camera, and Jake and Anna make you feel at ease–something our families noted too.
If you want to start your wedding planning with a win, book these two. You are in the best of hands. Their art is timeless, and we will always cherish these photos.
Jake and Anna were absolutely amazing!!! It can be difficult to hire a wedding photographer because you are also choosing people who you want to spend the majority of your wedding day with. Jake and Anna were the best people we could have chosen for the job. They were so kind, and you can tell they put so much care into each photo they take. My husband and I both feel so uncomfortable in front of a camera and Jake and Anna made us feel so comfortable and they helped us with posing for every single photo we took. They were so detail oriented with every shot and that shines through in their finished photos. I always thought that I would only like a small percentage of my photos and let me tell you... I was so wrong! I am not kidding when I say I LOVE every single photo we got back (close to 1000). They are so beautiful and I just still can't even believe that these are our photos to keep forever. My biggest piece of advice to offer about working with Jake and Anna is to hire both of them! They worked so well together and it was really nice to have extra hands to help fix my dress, help us with posing, and take even more amazing photos. These photos are a treasure to us and I cannot wait to look at these for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Jake and Anna enough. They are truly amazing at what they do!
We wanted them to be our wedding photographers even before we met Jake and Anna! Their style of photography and their eye for beauty is unique - light, airy, artistic, and timeless. They sure know how to capture the raw emotion and natural light. From the first meeting with Jake, we were hooked on his passion for his craft. The sheer quality Jake and Anna offer is unlike other photographers. Their eye for detail is incredible! The two immediately put us at ease, and we were overjoyed to have such a dynamic married duo who genuinely loves each other. Role models for a long-lasting marriage!
Jake and Anna helped us work through our timeline, and they were super professional throughout the six months. On wedding day, temperatures were in the mid-40’s and it rained during our first look, but you would never know with how Jake and Anna captured our day. Incredibly organized team, and I couldn’t recommend them more!
SweetLife Photography is the best of the best! Jake and Anna are such sweet individuals who are truly SO talented. We loved their sweet energy throughout our engagement as well as our wedding day. They work together so well and the photos you are left with are beyond beautiful and capture your wedding beyond anything you can imagine. I cannot recommend SweetLife enough! If you are reading this - hire them! They are the best and you won’t regret it.
Have to hand it to The Knot for finding Sweetlife for us. :) We had booked our venue in Cannon Beach and immediately I went looking for a photographer, knowing how quickly they get booked for weddings. Sweetlife came up as a recommendation on here and I messaged them in addition to a few others. Jake responded super quickly and told us that he and Anna were available on our wedding day and that they'd done weddings at our venue before. From the second I saw the example photos he sent from a past wedding on the Oregon Coast I was hooked - and knew immediately that we had to have Sweetlife as our photographers for our important day. When we met virtually with them over Zoom, that solidified it! Jake and Anna are both SO nice, friendly, professional, and such an amazing team to work with. I hadn't worked out a lot of the details of the wedding day and they were super understanding and helpful whenever I had questions. Since Sweetlife was the very first vendor we booked outside of our venue, we looked to them for some recommendations and suggestions for our wedding. We were so happy with every single one of their recommendations.
Like many other couples, we had to not only reschedule our wedding but also our engagement shoot due to COVID - the latter MULTIPLE times as the PNW experienced some crazy weather situations including storms and smoke. We appreciated Sweetlife being so understanding throughout the entire process and for the quick response times.
Neither my husband nor I love getting photographed and so we aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera, but Jake is so easygoing, nice, and good at lightening the mood that it was much less stressful than we had maybe anticipated. The engagement shoot really paved the way for our wedding day - which was an actual dream come true. Because we had Sweetlife there, our day is now captured beautifully for the rest of our lives. I was in tears when I saw our pictures for the first time. Jake is supremely talented and fit in so naturally among our friends and family that it didn't feel awkward being photographed. He got some really fun, natural pictures of our guests too! We especially loved the romantic first look and sunset pictures he captured.
We were amazed to hear that both Jake and Anna still shoot using film during our initial meeting. The pictures definitely have a quality to them that you don't see with digital pictures anymore.
I recommend Sweetlife to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat! 10/10 one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
Jake and Anna were amazing! They were super responsive to all our emails, and we were able to set up a time to talk over Zoom and discuss general plans for our wedding. They were also very easygoing about the fact that not much had been planned yet! We got a great timeline that was super detailed once things got closer to the date, and it was really helpful to see when and where everything was happening, in a very easy to read manner. My maid of honor used it to keep everyone on track!
Also, Jake is one of the most talented photographers we’ve ever met! We just got the pictures from them last week, and they are BEAUTIFUL. He perfectly captured both the people/emotions of the day, as well as the beauty of the scenery around us. We are so thrilled with them. He was easy to work with, and somehow got great pictures while also not being intrusive at all! We definitely want to work with them again in the future, and 100% recommend them to anyone planning to get married in the PNW.
Jake and Anna were amazing from day 1. My wife and I really appreciated how organized and experienced they were. Initially they took some time to understand our story, then closer to the wedding they helped us plan for some important details we had initially skipped over. The entire time we felt confident that they knew exactly what they were doing.
On the wedding day, Jake worked with both focus and determination to get the best shots. Photos can be awkward, but everything had a free flowing feel to it. My wife and I absolutely love the photos from the wedding and festivities afterwards. I don’t know much about photography but I know the final product looks fresh, elegant, and captures all the right details. Would highly recommend working with Jake and Anna!
We worked with Jake & Anna for both our wedding, and our engagement photos, and I have never once looked back. They captured our special day absolutely beautifully, and were a dream to work with, from start to finish. When we were originally choosing a wedding photographer, we actually didn’t know that we wanted film/hybrid photography. After countless hours of research, we landed on film for its timelessness, and the beautiful color and softness that it brings to photos. We interviewed several photographers, but knew immediately after our first meeting that Jake & Anna were “the ones!” They are masters of their craft, producing consistently beautiful photos time and time again...but they are so much more than that. We chose them because we fell in love with their hearts, and their unique passion for encouraging and supporting their couples in their lives and in their marriages.
Wedding planning can be an extremely stressful time. For us, this was compounded by the fact that we were planning a wedding during COVID, and I was in medical school. Jake & Anna were the vendors that we never had to worry about. They remained calm, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. They were extremely organized, easy to communicate with, and made our day better than it would’ve been without them. They’re not just amazing photographers, but just incredible people who we could trust, go to for advice, and who supported us endlessly. We would choose them time and time again, and are forever grateful that our paths crossed!
My husband and I booked Sweetlife Photography for our wedding in October 2020. I had previously been apart of a wedding that they photographed and loved how creative and personable they were. I crossed my fingers that they would be available for our big day.... We had a special request as we dreamed of a private ceremony. Whoever we had as our photographers would also serve as our witnesses. Jake and Anna had never served as witnesses so this was a fun new experience for them. I could not have thought of a better couple to not only capture every moment but also sign our wedding certificate.
Jake and Anna were so detailed and responsive with all the planning and flexibility needed due to COVID. They were amazing on our wedding day and I love all of the photos. They captured all of the small details, the venue, and multiple angles of all of the special moments. We also loved the first look pictures and the timeline they were able to create of our ceremony with pictures. After the ceremony, they joined us at our dinner party for a little while to ensure that we got photos with our guests. They made sure that we had an image of every moment throughout the day! They also were very good about communicating when we could get images, a sneak peek and also have since followed up with social posts and sharing our wedding photos.
If I ever need a photographer for another event or special moment, I will for sure be booking Sweetlife with Jake and Anna! Thank you both for helping make our day so special!
Having Sweetlife Photography capture our wedding day (and engagement photos!) was probably the best decision we made during the overwhelming process of wedding planning. Jake and Anna truly went above and beyond their beautiful photographs as they provided such kind and professional service. They eased our way by providing the much needed structure/timeline to our wedding day, as well as all their great advice and recommendations from their experience and networking in the wedding industry. We are so blessed to have such breathtaking photos to remember our special day. Thank you J&A! Much love, J&A :)
We have nothing but praise and great things to say about our experience with Sweetlife Photography, Jake and Anna. I was introduced to Jake and Anna a few years back at a wedding I was in and they were the photographers. I instantly loved them, they had such a calming presence and made the bridal party but most importantly the bride and groom have so much fun and let them enjoy their day fully. From that day forward I knew they would be the first vendor I would contact when we began planning our wedding.
Not only are their photographs beautiful but they are able to capture moments you've always wished to be able to cherish forever. Jake and Anna made us feel so comfortable and at times we didn't even realize they were there! They are the sweetest couple and so amazing to work with. We only look forward to working with them again in the future. We cannot recommend them enough!
My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about Sweetlife Photography. Jake and Anna were both an absolute pleasure to work with, they are both such genuinely kind people. They made us feel incredibly comfortable on our wedding day, and made spending a few hours taking photos really fun!
We unfortunately ended up with a rainy and cold day for our wedding, but you would never know it from looking at our photos ! They made outdoor photos work beautifully around a little rain, and we got some adorable umbrella shots. I absolutely LOVE the entire collection of photos we received, and am incredibly happy I can keep these memories for a lifetime.
They had never done a wedding at our venue before, so they went out there a couple weeks beforehand to look for shooting locations, which I really appreciated, and that made the whole day run really smoothly.
They are also incredibly responsive via email, and setup a planning meeting before the big day, so everyone knew exactly what to expect. We were planning from across the country, so we really appreciated their willingness to meet with us via Skype.
They were actually the first vendors that we hired because we loved their film photography style so much, and they provided us with some great vendor recommendations to complete our team.
I whole heartedly recommend them, and am so glad that we hired them for our wedding.
This amazing couple team is not only extremely talented, but also incredibly sweet! In looking for photographers for our wedding, we knew from looking at Jake and Anna’s portfolio that their style was exactly what we were looking for – softer, light-filled, and ethereal. What we found through the process of working with them is that one of their "secret ingredients" is their use of old film cameras (although they also mix in digital). This produces the beautiful and timeless quality of photos that we fell in love with from the beginning.
We were astounded by the quality of the photos from both our engagement session and our wedding day. Jake and Anna perfectly captured so many special moments, and our families have gotten so much enjoyment out of looking through them and reliving our special day. We have so many favorites that it’s going to be difficult to decide which ones to frame! We feel incredibly lucky to have had this team on board to document our special day. They are truly talented professionals and also incredibly sweet to work with!
Jake and Anna are such a delight to work with! Not only are they the two most detail oriented photographers we’ve ever worked with, they have the sweetest and kindest personalities! They did a great job outlining our photography timeline and were quick to respond to any questions we had. We loved that while taking our photos, they allowed us be more natural and ourselves rather than super staged in poses. We love how much they care about making things run smoothly and on time. When we got our photos back we couldn’t have been happier! We would definitely recommend any couple using them for their wedding and we will defiantly be using them for any family sessions or maternity sessions when that time comes.
Jake and Anna from Sweetlife are truly a photography dream team!! We planned on a destination wedding in Hood River, OR but wanted to take engagement photos in our home city of Chicago - so our beloved dog Bootsie could be involved. Jake flew out to Chicago and scoped out wonderful locations for our shoot. The engagement photos were incredible as were our wedding photos - literally out of this world!! We will cherish them forever. They also photographed our rehearsal dinner and welcome party - to say they went the extra mile for our weekend is an understatement! They captured our wedding weekend perfectly and I’m so grateful they were a part of our big day.
Jake and Anna are the absolutely dream team!! The most important vendor on our wedding day was our wedding photographers. We had them booked before we even had a wedding date and a location haha! Our engagement photos and wedding photos are amazing to say the least. My family members were just in awe of the photos and even commented on how they loved their eye in details! We couldn't have imagined our day without you two.
Jake and Anna were absolutely amazing! Wedding photos were our top priority when we were going through the planning process, and their body of work demonstrated the elegance and beauty that we wanted to capture on our day. And needless to say, they did not disappoint. We could go on and on about how perfect the photos were, but beyond that, we really appreciated how willing both Jake and Anna were to act as a resource for us as we finalized planning our day and help tie our aesthetic together. Then came the wedding day, and their coordination efforts made the day go so unbelievable smoothly. Their effortlessly friendly demeanor and passion for their work brought extra joy and excitement out of our entire group during the photo sessions. When we received our photos, they turned out even better than we could have hoped for. We can't recommend Jake and Anna enough. It's not often that you can find a team that produces the best quality work AND is the best to work with, but that's Sweetlife.
My husband and I had an amazing experience with Jake and Anna! They were professional, organized, reliable, easy to contact, and fun to work with. I was nervous about how my husband would do taking so many photos that day but Jake made us both feel comfortable and created an enjoyable experience. Our photos turned out beautiful and I am more then happy Sweetlife photographed my wedding!
Wedding pictures were on the top of our priority list when it came to planning our wedding because we knew we would look at our wedding pictures for the rest of our lives. When we found Jake and Anna I knew they would be a great fit with us and let me tell you, they are totally worth the investment! If you are looking for phenomenal wedding photographs, hire Jake and Anna, you will not be disappointed. They are simply the best in the industry!
Words cannot begin to describe how grateful we are for Jake and Anna, and for our beautiful wedding photographs. One of the things that first drew us to them was their ability to shoot natural moments, produce images that capture feeling and emotion, and their gorgeous use of natural light – they did not disappoint! Their work is truly breathtaking and seeing our wedding pictures brings us right back to one of the best days in our lives. Not only are our photographs absolutely incredible, but Jake and Anna were an absolutely amazing to work with. They made us feel so comfortable and we loved the way they worked together as a team...it was incredible to see them in action! Not only that, but they are SO kind and sweet. They have serious skills and we are so grateful we chose them as our photographers on our special day (BEST DECISION EVER)!
From our first meeting they completely understood our vision. Their attention to detail is phenomenal and the way they photograph tells a beautiful story of one of the most important days of your life. We are so grateful that they were such an important part of our wedding day and that we chose them to capture this incredible part of our journey. We love these photographs and cannot wait to hang them in our home!
If you choose Jake and Anna as your wedding photographers, I promise you will not be disappointed!
Jake did such a beautiful job photographing our wedding! We dedicated most of our budget towards photography, and I'm so glad we did. He took our simple and sweet wedding and knew exactly how to bring out all the magic! Jake gave us a generous gallery full of bright, dreamy, happy photos to remember all of our special moments and details. Thanks, Jake!
We hired Sweetlife for our September 2018 wedding, and we cannot say enough good things about them! From the detailed planning process, to our engagement shoot, to spending almost the entire wedding day with us, we loved every interaction with Anna and Jake, They approach everything with so much professionalism, love, and compassion, and this 100% shows in their stunning photographs, which immediately transported us back to our wedding day when we saw them. A good photographer makes or breaks your wedding day and with Sweetlife you really are in the best hands possible. 10/10 recommend them to any couple!
We are so happy that we chose Sweetlife Photography to take our engagement photos and capture our wedding day! We cannot say enough how supportive, kind, and knowledgeable Jake and Anna were throughout the entire process. They had a way of putting us at ease, and we had full confidence that they were documenting our day in the best way possible. We have several other friends who have also had Jake and Anna photograph their weddings, and we have only heard the best things! The photos exceeded our expectations--we truly could not have been prepared for how amazing they were going to be! Jake and Anna wrote a story of our entire wedding day with film, and we will cherish the photos for a lifetime. We highly recommend Sweetlife Photography to anyone!
We cannot thank Sweetlife enough! Our engagement and wedding day photos turned out absolutely beautifully! Throughout the entire process it was so clear how passionate Jake and Anna are about not only photography, but about capturing moments that are so important couples. On top of providing stunning images, they were always quick to respond to our emails and were genuinely a joy to work with! Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
We are so glad we chose Sweetlife for our wedding and engagement photos. They turned out beautifully and will last a lifetime! Jake is very easy to work with and is a talented photographer. He puts extensive thought into the angles, lighting, etc. to produce a gorgeous final product. The photos from our wedding are a wonderful mix of candid shots that captured the spirit of the day and posed shots that look like they could be from a magazine. I would recommend Sweetlife without hesitation. P.S. One tip for couples planning a wedding: Ask a family member to look over your family portrait list, to make sure you don’t miss anyone like I did - oops!
Photographers were wonderful! They were personable and easy to get along with yet professional and very well prepared. They made everything flow smoothly, even in unplanned rain, and our photos turned out gorgeous! Would highly recommend!
Choosing Jake and Anna as our wedding photographers was one of the best choices we made throughout our entire wedding process! Photos were so important to me because I wanted to preserve the memory of our special day, and from the first meeting I could tell that Jake and Anna were the right people for the job. They love what they do and are so interested in making the best possible product for their clients -- from the pre-wedding timeline planning to the engagement session, everything they do is to make the day-of feel comfortable and easy. The end product shows how talented and thoughtful they are in their work -- we absolutely adore our pictures and can't wait to look at them for years to come!
Sweetlife is simply the BEST. Jake and Anna are a dream to work with; everything from our first meeting with them all the way to after the wedding, was perfect. They are beyond professional, their work is amazing and they are the nicest people! We are so grateful we chose them and that we have such beautiful pictures to cherish forever!
If you are looking for the best wedding photographers in the Portland area, look no further. Jake and Anna, the husband and wife team behind Sweetlife Photography, captured photos that took our breath away. I sincerely cannot stop looking at them and they immediately take us back to the best day of our lives. Jake and Anna go out of their way to make sure every detail and emotion are captured and their photos tell a complete story. They are friendly, very organized, great communicators, and sincerely cared about what my husband and I wanted throughout the whole process. I would pick them all over again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the future!
Jake and Anna are an exceptional team. Our experience from engagement photos to the wedding day was extremely professional yet warm. They were responsive and helpful every step of the way. We have referred one friend on to them so far and will continue to recommend them in the future.
Jake and Anna are true professionals! They make what could be a stressful day of hundreds of photos into a blast, and bring out the best in each and every person they photograph. Do yourself a favor and hire them—your memories may fade, but the photos will bring them back in a heartbeat. Not to mention, they're super fun to work with!!
It's honestly hard for me to find words that truly capture our gratitude and amazement we have towards Anna, Jake and their company. They are insanely talented and captured our wedding day better than ever expected! They made us feel calm during the crazy. We had 100% trust in them front he minute we met. The quality of their work speaks for itself. In addition Jake and Anna clearly care for each of their customers. Sincerity is in the heart of their work and it was a true honor having them as our photographers.
I wanted to book with them, however, after their required Skype meeting they decided my fiance and I were not a good fit for them. I don't know what their requirements are, but I find it odd they would say we are not a good fit based on a 30 minute meeting. They didn't even meet my fiance. Just a warning, their prices are extremely high, up to $7,000.00! Good luck to other brides, hope you can pass their strict criteria!
I cannot say enough great things about Jake and Anna-- both as photographers and people! They are truly wonderful people who truly care about the clients they work with-- through every step of the way, my (now) husband and I felt like Jake and Anna were there to make our wedding day the best it could be. They balance professionalism with a friendliness that makes you feel like you've known them for years! This, particularly, resulted in PHENOMENAL photos!!! We just received our proofs, and we are 110% convinced that we made the right choice by going with Sweetlife. Although my husband is not someone who generally enjoys being in front of the camera, Jake made us feel both completely at-ease and natural, which is something I was originally drawn to when I first saw their work. On our wedding day, Jake was the epitome of everything we could've wanted-- he got amazing shots, but didn't disrupt the flow of the day or draw attention to what he was doing. We are SO happy that we decided to partner with Sweetlife for our wedding day!!!!
Sweetlife Photography did a fantastic job with our engagement session and wedding day! We felt comfortable and well-directed at every turn. These two have mastered the fine art approach and experience of wedding photography- I 100% recommend them for your big day!
Jake and Anna have been the most fantastic, professional, and charming husband and wife photography team to work with from the very beginning. My husband and I feel so lucky we were able to have them document our big day, as well as a dream-like engagement session. Their talent is incomparable and their warmth shines strong in any email or face to face correspondence you will have with them. We love Jake and Anna! Thank you for everything!
It's hard to find one starting point for Jake and Anna because they are true professionals with an amazing gift! The photos from our wedding turned out absolutely beautiful and are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Jake made taking photos that day easy, fun, and relaxed. He had our interest/desires as his top priority and made sure that we were getting all the moments captured we had hoped for. He was patient with us, and made sure we had each combo of friend/family member captured. We had zero worries about how the photos would turn out or whether he was taking enough photos of a particular event/scene. The photos are high-quality and look like something out of a magazine photoshoot....I am truly blown away by his work. The photos turned out better than I ever expected and as someone who is familiar with Jake's work- that's saying a lot. He went above and beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend Jake and Anna enough, truly a pleasure to work with them and get to know them. We love our photos!!
We love Sweetlife photography! If you're worried about price like I was, trust me you will not regret choosing Sweetlife as your photographers. Worth every penny! They are clearly experienced in their field and made us feel so comfortable during photo shoots. Our photos turned out better than I imagined, and not a single moment was missed! They were able to capture the beauty and emotion of our rainy October wedding and coached us appropriately every step of the way. A beautiful couple who love what they do! Thank you Jake and Anna!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing Jake and Anna are. It is clear right from the get go that Sweetlife really believes in love which makes them the perfect people to share love stories. They shot our engagement as well as our wedding photos and we could not have been more thrilled. Not only is their work absolutely beautiful, they are two of the best people you will ever meet. Aside from photo quality, feeling comfortable was the main aspect we were looking for when picking our photographers and we definitely found that. They helped make our day even more special than it already was and will always have a place in our hearts!
Jake and Anna were extremely easy to work with and made the entire process seem a lot less daunting. They communicated clearly, responded to emails lightening fast, were easy to coordinate with, and came up with great ideas for our engagement photos. As someone who likes to be in control, it was so nice to be able to trust their creativity and just let go. I am still stunned at how beautifully our photos turned out. We will cherish our photos as well as the memories of making them forever. Needless to say, we love Sweetlife Photography!!
Jake and Anna were the best decision we made on our wedding day! They were able to capture every beautiful detail from our wedding, and direct us with ease for the perfect shot. Not only do you get all the beautiful digital shots, but they also shoot film which honestly creates some of the most beautiful images. They are completely professional and the sweetest people you will ever meet. They gave us the best possible wedding photos, and wedding album we could have asked for, and we are forever grateful. If looking for a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend them for you.
Jake and Anna were absolutely delightful to work with. From the beginning, they were sweet, organized, responsive and professional. They helped us visualize our dream day but also had lots of input from their years of experience doing weddings.
On the day of, they helped us to execute what we had envisioned and they were so wonderful to not only us, but the friends and family involved in the photos as well. As husband and wife, Jake and Anna both bring great things to the team. They work very well together to ensure that the best shot with the best details are achieved.
The photo quality of their prints are outstanding. While they are pricey, they are worth it.
Our overall experience with Sweetlife was lovely! The only two things I wish I had known to ask for would have been more posed (smiling) candid photos during the reception, as well as some more cute and creative shots with the bridesmaids/groomsmen. I think if I had articulated these requests they would have executed them, but I didn't.
Thank you, Jake and Anna for a lifetime of memories!
We could not be happier we picked Jake and Anna to photograph our wedding and they are fantastic photographers. The care and thought that goes into their shots is clear in the final results. Their photography style is soft, romantic, and beautiful; just perfect for engagement and wedding photos! Their photos capture all of the details and tell a story of our wedding day. We loved the engagement photo guest book when we first met with them. One of our favorite parts about Sweetlife is the beautiful photo books they offer to preserve the beautiful photographs.
Jake & Anna were an absolute dream to work with!! After getting engaged, I had no idea what kind of photography style I wanted and going to the Portland bridal show was crazy overwhelming…I found Sweetlife via Instagram and I have to say, as I was narrowing down options, I just kept coming back to them because their photographs are SO AMAZING. Even though there are other photographers out there that are super reputable and may offer more “perks” or are more affordable, the exceptional quality of their work really shines through is and is what ultimately led us to selecting them as our photographers!
Communication with them was on point, they were very prompt in responding and were super helpful in providing lots of advice throughout, always very patient and flexible. I also loved that they showed us actual albums, etc as examples to help us select which package we wanted to go with when we first met with them for our initial consultation.
One of the things I really appreciated about Sweetlife is that they’re not just another run of the mill photography studio, booking any couple just to make $$. They really took the time to get to know us as a couple and what kind of ideas we had for the wedding to determine if we’d be a match for them and their style of photography. I also felt like sure, getting 2 photographers dedicated is awesome, but a husband and wife that truly love each other and are so sweet and genuine…completely changed the game. In our engagement session, I was worried my fiancé & I might be awkward taking photos but Jake & Anna totally put us at ease, in the way they talked to each other thru the different shots, but to us as well—Jake being able to talk my fiancé thru different poses or looks from a guy’s POV made such a difference. They’re an incredible team and we are literally in awe at how gorgeous & romantic our photos turned out!! I highly recommend Sweetlife Photography!
Jake and Anna truly top the charts when it comes to beautiful, artistic and finely crafted wedding photography. Their work speaks for itself as my husband and I had our hearts set on working with them for our special day before we even met with them! During our initial meeting they asked us about how we met, got to know us as a couple, presented work samples and thoroughly walked through their varied package options all while making recommendations as to what would work best for our overall style and budget.
From our engagement session to wedding day, they were available to lend professional advice and also provided many tips and ideas as to how we could include personal and heartfelt details to our day. In addition, they were able to make the two of us more than comfortable in front of the camera ensuring our photos turned out genuine and relaxed. This was even noted by our bridal party! Because of their care and expertise we have the sweetest keepsakes to cherish and look back on over the years (including all the small details).
In summary, Jake and Anna truly care about their couples and utilize their soft and romantic style to create personalized love stories for everyone. We are over the moon with how all of our pictures turned out and could not recommend the two of them more highly. We hope to have an opportunity to work together again!
Choosing a wedding photographer was one of our top priorities when picking out a vendors for our wedding. We were so happy to stumble across Sweetlife Photography. They really had an eye of true artistry. My (now) husband and I were always awkward taking photos together, however, Jake and Anna made us feel so comfortable and helped pose us to help set up for a beautiful shot. We are so pleased with the outcome of our photographs and glad Jake and Anna were there to capture one of the most important days of our lives with such beauty, romance, and art; one that we can proudly share to all our family, friends, and future family and friends. HIGHLY recommend Sweetlife Photography.
Jake and Anna of Sweetlife Photography are amazing! From the first day we met them, we knew we wanted them as our photographers. Photography was so important to my husband and I because one, the pictures last a lifetime and two, we didn't want a videographer. We knew that whoever we chose had to be able to capture our entire day and that is exactly what Jake and Anna did. They are such kind people and so easy to work with. They were very attentive to detail and work really well together. Their pictures are exactly what we were hoping for and we couldn't be happier. We have and will continue to recommend Sweetlife Photography to all our family and friends! Thank you Jake and Anna for capturing our special day so perfectly.
