    Best Photographers Ever!

    You spend a lot of time with your photographers on your wedding day, and Jake & Necia were so fun to work with! They were very organized and communicative throughout the whole process. They also produce beautiful work, and I know my husband and I will cherish our engagement and wedding photos for the rest of our lives!

    Dream Team!

    Jake and Necia are the absolute dream team!!! We partnered with them for our engagement shoot and wedding day and we couldn't be happier with the results! First of all, they made us both feel so comfortable and got such candid photos that really felt like us! Jake and Necia offer top notch professional talent while still being so down to earth and we truly had so much fun throughout the entire process. I am beyond grateful to them both for capturing this special time in our lives and highly recommend them to all couples/families! Excellent communication and the beautiful photos were delivered as promised (with an early sneak peak!) - the results made us fall in love with our wedding day all over again! Thank you Jake & Necia!

    Amazing Experience!

    Jake & Necia took our photos for our engagement shoot and were AMAZING. My fiancé and I had never taken professional photos before so it was all new to us! Jake & Necia made us feel comfortable with them from the very beginning and it was a really fun experience. The photos they took were incredible. My favorite part was how natural the poses were and how light and airy the photos were. Overall, it was a great experience and I cannot wait for them to shoot our wedding next year!!

    Excellent choice!

    We're so happy that we chose Jake & Necia to be our wedding photographers! We really loved their aesthetics and they were excellent to work with both leading up to the engagement shoot and wedding day as well as in the lead up. They both do a great job of helping us feel at ease. They also kept us very organized by working with us to build our shot list as well as the finer points on the timeline. Jake & Necia were able to turn around our photos in a timely manner, and we were so excited to relive our day during our honeymoon.

    Perfect Choice!

    Jake and Necia are the absolute best photographers and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have them photograph our wedding at The Holly Farm. They captured all the fine details of our wedding day from the getting ready and hanging out with our friends and family all the way through the ceremony and reception. Our wedding party had so much fun with them taking our photos and all the smiles and laughter felt so natural and genuine. We loved all their ideas for photo ops and they truly captured the magic and love from that day. We can’t thank Jake and Necia enough for all the amazing photos and visual memories from our wedding day! We definitely recommend them!

    These two are the sweetest and the absolute BEST! Not only are they just the nicest people, they are very talented. From booking them to getting our photos, they made the process so easy. I cannot recommend them enough! They made us feel so comfortable and captured such special moments on our big day. They shot outside for ceremony/portraits AND they got the best dancing photos inside the venue (something that was very important to me). The photos in both locations turned out so amazing. They went above and beyond (even in over 100 degree weather). THANK YOU just isn't enough!

    Jake and Necia were one of our favorite vendors!! I HIGHLY recommend to everyone. We had an outdoor wedding ceremony with an indoor reception -- and the photo quality and lighting in both situations were amazing. Also, the wedding package we selected came with a complimentary engagement photo shoot which was a nice surprise! Jake and Necia are a great couple who made my husband and I soo comfortable throughout all the shoots and the pictures came out amazing!! Like other reviewers mentioned - their turn around time on the wedding photos is SO fast... and communication was great the whole way through. We are so happy we found Jake and Necia and will treasure ALL the pictures they took for years to come!

    Jake and Necia are truly amazing people to work with! They're laid back and easy going, but organized and professional. They took our engagement and wedding photos and all were absolutely gorgeous! They were there whenever I had questions and were so kind every step of the way. They know how to get the best lighting for each shot and they capture candid photos expertly. We are so thankful we chose them to capture the most important day of our lives. The pictures truly tell the story of our wedding day: beautiful, fun, happy and sweet. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Jake and Necia are awesome! Great people, and we LOVE our engagement and wedding pictures! They were top notch communicators the entire way— we knew exactly what to expect, and it was easy and stress-free. They were very accommodating to do our engagement shoot where we live in San Francisco, which was awesome (they're based in SLO and often do those down there or in Big Sur, which also sounded super cool). On our wedding day, they were prompt and easygoing and got a ton of killer shots! We couldn’t be happier with our pictures. There weren’t any missed shots/moments, and it all felt very natural and not forced. Also, they were unbelievably quick getting our photos back to us, which was a nice surprise. In short, excellent quality, good value, quick turnaround with pictures, super people. Highly recommend and hope to work with them again for any future milestones!

    One of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding was choosing Jake and Necia as our photographers. Starting with our engagement photos, they were so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. We were both a little nervous about posing for photos and they made us feel completely at ease. Not only that, but the photos and moments they captured were exactly what we wanted. The entire year leading up to our wedding they were professional, easy to get a hold of, and genuinely fun people to work with! On our wedding day, we had a really large wedding party and an even larger family and they were so on top of it! They were organized and patient with all the photos. Not to mention the photos from our wedding day are absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would highly recommend them as wedding photographers!

    Jake and Necia are a great team! They took great pictures for us and made us feel very comfortable. We didn't even worry about them or the pictures on our wedding day. As someone who loves pictures, I can't stop looking at our wedding pictures.

    My husband and I were so thrilled to find Jake and Necia and have them photograph our engagement shoot and wedding. After initially contacting them, they took the time to answer all our questions. We also were able to meet them in person and connect with them prior to the wedding during our engagement shoot. They were very professional, personable and easy to work with, also very well organized. The online programs we used to sign our contract, retrieve our photos, etc was simple and painless. They were also on time and on point throughout the entire day of the wedding. They knew where the best lighting hit, good shooting locations, how to interact with our bridal party and guests, and most importantly how to make us feel comfortable. You could tell they had alot of experience shooting with couples and at weddings. We were so impressed with how amazing our photos turned out. They captured so many candid moments and beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. We also enjoyed the teaser photos before we received our final photos. After the wedding they also helped to work with us on our wedding album which is also wonderful! Photography was the #1 most important vendor on our wedding list and Jake and Necia did not disappoint! Great eye, beautiful style, and an amazing and majorly talented husband and wife team, would recommend them to anyone!

    Jake and Necia did the photography for our wedding and our pictures are PERFECT! I am so happy with how the pictures came out and their ability to capture every part of our day. They didn't miss a moment and I can't wait to frame these photos! On top of their work being out of this world, they were also so friendly and easy to work with. Then they got our photos back to us quickly! I can't recommend them highly enough! Book them!

    My hubby is a photographer/editor/director, so finding the right photographer was extremely important for him. We searched and searched for people, and somehow came across Jake & Necia's work. We immediately loved it. They not only take beautiful shots, but they do more than your run of the mill "everybody jump in the air" shots! We had a "skype date" with them to meet and get to know them before we signed on - you're going to be hanging around your photographer on the most important day of your life, you want to make sure they're cool. And boy are they cool. And adorable. And super talented. We drove up to San Luis Obispo from L.A. to shoot our engagement photos and holy cow did they get some amazing shots! I mean to tell you, they know how to shoot a couple at sunset! On the day of the wedding they were fanastic. Prompt, professional, patient with the wedding party (a true testament!). We barely even saw them the whole night, they knew how to stay just on the fray of the party without being intrusive, but still manage to capture the energy of the party. We haven't even gotten our photos back yet, but I feel confident enough to go ahead and review them, they are that good! My only regret is that we didn't get a photo with them before the end of the night! Thank you so much Jake & Necia! Y'all were amazing to work with!

    Jake and Necia are a wedding photography dream team! Being so much in love, they know just how to capture each couple's unique story through their art. I was referred to them by several friends and am so happy to have had the chance to work with them! I'm please to say we now have an overwhelming amount of amazing shots to decorate our home for years to come. Thanks, you two! xo L&P H.

    Jake & Necia are an awesome husband/wife team! They work together to capture every moment and all the small details. They get to know their clients and adjust to their personal style. Jake & Necia are both extremely easy to get along with and we all spend a good portion of our time together smiling and laughing. They are willing to try new things and are super enthusiastic about their job. They captured both natural moments when we didn't know they were taking pictures, as well as gave direction when needed. They were extremely efficient in getting family/bridal party/bride & groom pictures taken so we were able to enjoy our family and friends at cocktail hour for a few minutes. They also gave us a sneak peak of our pictures within a few days, and access to all of our pictures within a couple weeks. Our pictures turned out absolutely incredible and we gained new friends throughout the process.

    Ahhh... the Odenings! Beautiful souls and a pleasure to know and work with. Truly stunning photography that captures the feeling, emotion, and beauty of your day, your family, and friends. We love them so much, they're now our official family photographers! We'll be taking maternity photos with them this week and bug 'em for family photos down the road.

    We found Jake and Necia through the Collective Photographers and loved them the second we met them. We knew our pictures would perfectly capture our special day, and they really did. Jake and Necia answered every question and every email, and even gave us recommendations for other vendors we were looking for. On the big day, they were so fun and comfortable to work with. They knew exactly how to get the perfect lighting and pictures, and beyond that, they did an Amazing job handling our HUGE very ethnic family! We were on cloud 9 after the wedding and Jake and Necia made it even better by posting a preview, or "teaser" of our photos the day after the wedding! Within a few weeks, we got all of our wedding pictures and they are absolutely flawless. They captured every detail and special moment of the whole day so effortlessly and naturally. Not only are they great photographers, they are also very crafty and sent us a wedding gift handmade by Necia. So thoughtful! Jake and Necia are a pleasure to work with and really make your whole experience special.

    Great photos & photographers!

    Jake & Necia were easy to communicate with, friendly, on time, had a great easy going vibe, got along well with the videographer, and captured our "HBO promo" dream photos for us.

    I was dreading our engagement photo shoot (the idea of getting my photo taken for about 3 hours doesn't seem fun to me), but Jake & Necia were fun to hang out with and we had a great time.

    You can tell that Jake is really determined to get everything right and Necia is really good at directing people in a friendly and fun manner (which is not always easy to do). They really combed over our wedding schedule and gave us great feedback on what to elongate, what to shorten, what to include, and what to cut.

    They sent us a sneak peak (20 of the best photos) a week after our wedding, and our full photos 5.5 weeks after our wedding (a few days before they were due).

    So glad we went with Jake & Necia - after going through our wedding we realized that while it's important to have professionals that do good work it's even more important to have professionals who are easy to work with - Jake & Necia are definitely that!

    They're great!!

    Jake and Necia photographed our wedding almost two years ago. We loved working with them. We initially met them for our engagement shoot. At that time, we were living in Southern California and Jake and Necia were accommodating and drove down to us. They were flexible in terms of timing and locations for our engagement photo session. My husband and I felt so awkward having our pictures taken but Jake and Necia put us at ease with their light-hearted demeanor and fun personality.

    On our wedding day, they were calm, patient and fun to work with. We had almost 200 guests at our wedding, so we frequently needed redirecting when it came to taking photos. Jake and Necia were great at being aware of our timeline and keeping us on track.

    Our photos turned out amazingly beautiful and we couldn't have asked for anything more. It was so special to see all the details of our wedding day we didn't necessarily get to see on the day of. We look at our photos even now, and it brings us back to our wedding day. Thank you, Jake and Necia for capturing our special day and making it timeless.

    * They also sent us the sweetest Christmas gift the year we got married. A personalized ornament, printed photos from our wedding to display amongst a couple of other thoughtful gifts. Too too sweet!
