Why did you decide to become a photographer?
I’ve always enjoyed being behind the camera creating art and hopefully creating happiness for anyone in front of my lens. It’s where I’m most confident in myself.
What is your favorite memory from an event you’ve shot?
I shoot for a major car club and shoot a lot of car shows for them. I’ve made some amazing friends while shooting those events and in turn, it has opened more doors for me than i could’ve ever imagined.
What is your favorite thing about being a photographer?
The people I’ve met along the way and the doors and opportunities photography has opened up for me, but also just being able to freeze a moment in time. Whether its being able to give someone a lifelong keepsake with someone who is no longer with us, or just having a good photo to use for someones birthday, theres no bigger compliment to me than just using the photos I’ve taken over and over again. And if i get the chance to continue taking photos for someone and getting to watch their family grow, I love every second of it.
What make you or your work unique/stand out?
I do my best to look for the angles and styles that most people won’t see and I take pride in being able to make even the most boring location look somewhat interesting in a photo.
What is your favorite part of the night?
When i get to take the couple alone to take some photos, specifically if we get the opportunity to go out for sunset. I always feel like it gives the couple the chance to get away from the craziness for a few minutes and just get to enjoy being together just the two of them. Obviously you cant ask for a better time to take photos of a couple that just got married than when they’re excited to just be together alone. Plus, who can say no to that perfect midwest golden hour and sunset lighting?
List one fun fact about you most people do not know:
I love sports! I’m a HUGE Cubs and Bears fan! I’m also a huge car guy and love any chance i get to see or check out some cool cars.

"Jacob, our photographer, did an amazing job and was a blast to with work! We sent him photo ideas and he made sure we got exactly what we wanted. He was laid back and so easy to work with, which is exactly what we needed for our big day. I can not wait to see the rest of his shots!"
"Complete Weddings and Events were very easy to work with! The online planning forms made it easy to communicate my ideas with the DJ/photographer months ahead of time. Our photographer, Jacob, did an amazing job. He was very personable and fun to hang out with while he took "getting ready" photos of us, and definitely has a very creative eye! He was very knowledgeable about photography and made sure I had the opportunity to request any specific shots that I had in mind. However, he did not need any direction the day of the wedding. We could tell he came with a plan! Our DJ, Billy, also did a wonderful job! He was good at keeping the crowd hyped up and out on the dance floor! He even danced with us a few times! Both Jacob & Billy expressed that if we needed anything day of, that they would be more than happy to help! I will be recommending them to all my friends who will be getting married in the future!"
"Complete did an amazing job with our wedding. With the photographers and videographer keeping us moving and keeping us on task. They were a true delight to have and they used their heads to come up with amazing pictures and videos. And the DJ kept the party alive for hours. I would recommend this company over and over again. We can't thank them enough for how awesome of a job they all did!"
