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! read more

Baird shot our civil ceremony at SF City Hall and it was the absolute best time. He helped us feel at ease, grounded, and like our most authentic selves. We are still waiting for our photos but I am already 100% convinced these are the best photos we have ever taken. Loved our experience and couldn't recommend more !!! read more

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. read more

Our wedding was everything we envisioned and more, and we couldn't have done it without the help and support of Love + Wolves. Ash was incredibly supportive from start to finish. She 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 Shannan 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! read more

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). 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! read more

Hiring a photographer and videographer was one of the most important decisions for us, and we are so glad worked with Love + Wolves team. Jake and team captured our day so beautifully, and we were blown away by the final products. We love his artistic style, and you can tell that Jake really cares about his work. They also brought a cool, calm but fun energy to our day, which was exactly the energy that we needed. We could not have asked for a better team! If you are thinking about booking this team, just do it :) You will definitely not regret it! read more

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 us 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. read more

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. read more

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 be 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! read more

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! read more

I'm so glad we found Love + Wolves for my wedding makeup. Not only is Ash a talented makeup artist, she brought such calm, positive energy to my wedding day. She made me and all my bridesmaids feel like the best version of ourselves. I've never felt so confident, thanks in large part to her makeup. Before the wedding, when we did a makeup trial, she was super responsive to feedback and suggested ideas for different lipstick colors (and the one I bought is now my favorite lipstick). She was super responsive, on time and helpful. If you're reading reviews to decide if you should move forward with booking Love + Wolves, stop reading and do so immediately! read more

We worked with Jake and Ash for our wedding in Northern California and couldn't have picked a better team to support with our photo/video and beauty. Jake did an incredible job capturing our day - our photos are absolutely exquisite and our friends and family love them as much as we do. We also decided to use the 8mm feature to supplement our photos and it was one of the best decisions we made in our entire wedding planning process. The 8mm video is our favorite artifact from the day and it brings us back to the joy and beauty of our wedding. Ash and her team did an incredible job on the beauty side - everyone looked stunning AND still authentically themselves. We highly recommend L+W for anyone looking for photo/video/beauty services. read more

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 opinion) 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!!! read more

Thank you Jake for the amazing photography experience! Jake shot our engagement and wedding pictures, and we are quickly eased and comforted by his presence. Jake was great at navigating our families and ensuring that our needs were always met. You can tell that he really loves what he does! read more

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! read more

If you have any hesitation or second thoughts about hiring Love + Wolves for you beauty or photography needs on your big day, let me stop you right there! HIRE LOVE+WOLVES RIGHT AWAY! Ash and Jake are nothing short of accommodating, flexible, thoughtful, talented, and incredibly professional with a fun loving approach. My husband and I got married 8.14.21 and could not have imagined the day without the Love + Wolves team! Although Jake had never shot at our venue before, we would have NEVER known given his expertise on the how to utilize the landscape and picking the most adorable location for my first look with my father, as well as with my husband! To say we had fun, would be an understatement! Ash and her beauty team absolutely killed the look I wanted for myself and my bridesmaids. I didn't have a clear idea in mind at first, but after showing Ash one simple photo, she made my dreams a reality. So When she suggested I do a second look for the reception, I couldn't say no! She opened my mind to looks I would have stayed away from, but boy oh boy, I was IN LOVE! Not only did I receive so many comments about the first look, but my guests were amazed at how quickly and beautifully she transformed it into the second. HIRE LOVE + WOLVES! read more

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. read more

Our wedding FINALLY happened...and we have the BEST photos to prove it. 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! read more

Jake and his team were amazing from the start. Proffessional, talented, easygoing, you name it they made our wedding day and memories of it perfect. We couldnt have asked for a better experience and our pictures and video captured our most special day perfectly. read more

10/10 what can I say. I fell in love with LOVE + WOLVES approach to photography and beyond, no pun intended. Jake was super accommodating and willing to work with me on a budget that worked for both of us. We met with one of their partner photographers via FaceTime, but that photographer ended up having up having to step away from my event for personal reasons. Before my husband and I were even notified, Jake came to the table with a new photographer and solution, keeping all my wedding stress at bay. Day-of, our photographer was AWESOME. He gave us all the right directions and instructions as we were getting photographed to get the best shots and he really delivered. Truly captured the day in the most beautiful way. Makes me verklempt! With all that said, you won't regret working with Jake and his crew! read more

I cannot recommend LOVE + WOLVES highly enough (esp. Jake for photos, Ash for beauty, and Corey for video). But I would also trust anyone on their team based on how talented and lovely Jake and Ash are as the co-founders, and how wonderfully dedicated and fiercely protective they are of the quality and aesthetic of what they offer. I poured through these reviews and all of the praise is true. Jake is an unbelievably talented and creative photographer, but he is so much more than that. First, he really makes you feel that he cares about your day and making it special. I called him in a panic THREE DAYS before my wedding as our other photographer had cancelled. What a gift that turned out to be because Jake went out of his way to jump in and make this happen, and I know he gifted us with a day that no one else could've done. He knows every gorgeous spot you can come up with like the back of his hand, and he is a master of logistics! I had a vision of starting out with photos with the Redwoods in Muir Woods, then doing a ceremony at Muir Beach Overlook, and then ending with champagne and photos on Muir Beach, with a send off of jumping into the ocean. All within three hours and before the sun sets. Jake made it happen! He had vision and ideas for all three of these spots and made a legendary first look moment that incorporated our first date hike in that same spot. Even though it was an intimate wedding, I realized the value of having someone keep everyone on schedule, we really couldn't have made it to all these spots in such short time without him. Jake was prepared for everything and is full of creative, spontaneous ideas that made various moments completely unforgettable. I could go on forever about how wonderful Jake is, but one of my final favorite things about him was that he has the wit and timing of a stand up comedian. We were seriously cracking up the entire day, which made it so much easier both to enjoy our day and to act normally in front of a camera, something that is not my M.O. Ash was such a lovely and calm presence to have while getting ready. She was so responsive to questions and ideas I had prior to the day. She brings a full and amazing set-up and made me feel like so subtly glamorous, really fitting the style of my dress. Her makeup job was so solid that after completely submerging into the Pacific Ocean, none of my makeup even hinted at budging! The day before the wedding, after reflecting more on the fact that we couldn't have family and friends there due to COVID, I realized how special and important it would be to have video. So when I requested this the day before the wedding, Corey was all over it! He had so many solutions for getting good quality sound despite our windy outdoor spot. Like Jake and Ash, he also had such a lovely energy and a hilarious sense of humor, so it was a pleasure to spend so much of our day with him as well. LOVE + WOLVES will completely take care of you on your big day, and will find numerous ways to make it epically special. That is reason enough to beam about them. Thennnn we got our preview photos (242 of them!) less than 24 hours later and they are s t u n n i n g. Jake and the team at LOVE + WOLVES are talented, lovely, and so fun to work with. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Ash and her team were unbelievable from start to finish in this process. Planning a wedding can be stressful and hair and makeup is a really personal part and sets the mood for your day just as much as helps you look your best. This was one area I was beyond grateful to choose her- from having the most chill fun makeup trial to help thinking through and navigating tricky family dynamics her vibe is only surpassed by her skills. Most importantly, I looked and felt exactly like myself. She nailed a more natural makeup look and helped me live my flowers throughout my hair dream. I have never felt more me and I truly could not recommend Love + Wolves Beauty enough. Their energy, commitment to your vision, and attunement to stressors in advance and helping you through are just a few reasons why I believe choosing to work with them for my and my close friends and family hair and make up was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Thank you!!! read more

I am SO happy I found love and wolves for my wedding day!! I was able to show Ash all my favorite looks and she translated that into a look that suited my hair type and dress style. The most amazing part is how she's able to make you feel like YOU - I didn't feel like I was dressing up as a bride, I felt like myself as a bride! The look she created had enough elements from my normal style matched with a more special, bridal look, and it was absolutely perfect. The day of, Ash was just such a calm presence in the midst of the getting ready excitement, and completely able to handle changes in the look - my veil arrived and looked awful out of the package, but she made the new hair piece look like it had been the plan from the start. I also had to change venues and dates - originally 2020, sooo - and Ash was flexible, no-stress and reassuring. I ended up having a venue that was no longer local, but even if you're not local, I would recommend booking anyways, because this experience was absolutely perfect. I could not have been happier with how I looked - the whole look was just so perfectly me, and bridal, and I LOVED it. read more

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. read more

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 take 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. read more

We used LOVE + WOLVES for our wedding for makeup/hair, photography, videography and the photo booth- and we loved them all! I cannot say enough great things about them. We are so so happy we decided to book them for our wedding. From the beginning, Jake + Ash were both very responsive and personable through email and on the phone. We wanted beautiful photos/video that were casual yet beautiful and an actual representation of the day, not staged and we got just that! The photos and video are just amazing...in the woods/fog, under the full moon... I mean what?! Even better than we even imagined! Jake/Corey were super friendly to all the guests, getting to know the names of all our bridesmaids/groomsmen and parents. They were also super energetic, running around--they literally got the most amazing shots. Ash- was such a calm, chill presence to the day. She made me (the bride) feel so beautiful, yet so myself. She also had a lot of good recommendations for hair styles, makeup ideas, and styling for my bridesmaids which was very helpful. If you have the opportunity/funds, we highly recommend renting the photobooth and getting all the fun props! So many of our friends/family brought the props to the dance floor- which made for some good fun and also great photos! Thank you so much again LOVE + WOLVES for such an amazing experience, if we do it again ;-) we will def reach out again! -Kaylee and Gary read more

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. read more

Brides/grooms/ whoever you are! Run don't walk to book love+wolves co for photo+beauty and honestly all emotional support and extreme care, thoughtfulness and kindness for your wedding. Jake and Ash GET IT DONE. They were SO flexible with our covid changes and we ended up using them both for our micro wedding (and can not wait to see them again for our reception next year!) We got stuck with a cold and rainy Memorial Day, and our photos look like it was the most beautiful day of the year! Jake made us feel so comfortable and sent over the most stunning photos the next morning ... I'm pretty sure he's a magician. Ash totally GOT ME immediately and my hair was so special and honestly the talk of the day. They feel like old friends we have known forever and you'll probably want to add them to your guest list. Could NOT RECOMMEND MORE read more

We worked with Love & Wolves for our engagement shoot in Manhattan and it was not only exactly what we wanted but also so much FUN! Jake is so talented and creates pictures that you would see in a magazine. Not posed pictures but real, creative and beautiful moments expertly and beautifully captured. But it's not just his experience and talent that makes this happen, it's also his enthusiasm for the moment. He seemed so excited for us as a couple, which created a fun atmosphere. Jake seems to care for the couples he works with and finds the magic in the relationship, which is so cool considering how seasoned he is. Also I worked with Ash on the beauty side of things. The hair and make-up women who did my look the morning of the shoot were 1) people I genuinely would want to hang out with, and 2) somehow did just what I was hoping for based on the inspo photos I shared and yet really made the completed look their and my own look. I'm one of those women who always feels like I like my own makeup best (I think a lot of women feel this way) but not so with this beauty crew. Finally, just the process of working with Jake & Ash was a dream. We really felt like it went beyond a business transaction and became a nice relationship. If you are lucky enough to be able to book Love & Wolves, you gotta go for it! read more

When it came down to our wedding priorities, photography was our top, after venue. I thought it would be pretty easy to find something to our liking, until we started looking online...that's when we were bombarded with cheesy, unnaturally lit and awkward photos. The cheese was unreal, and definitely not our style. If you're not genuinely smiling 24 hours a day, why do all your photos have to be of you smiling? Sometimes I'm not smiling, and I like that to be captured too. We love photos that capture authentic moments and it seemed that was hard to find. That's when I found Love+Wolves Co. Im not sure how I came across it, but I'm sure their unique company name got my attention. Welp, Jake IS A MF GENIUS. My new husband and I are not natural in front of a camera...we are quite awkward. But Jake somehow was able to take THE BEST photos ever. He just walks with you, talks to you, and then BAM, he takes a photo that later comes out to be the best MF photo ever. Even if he made us pose, he didnt force us to be fake. Not only did he capture us wonderfully, but his photos also beautifully captured the environment we were in. Every photo seemed like it came from a different scene of my favorite movie. Every photo is a piece of art. Well-captured, well-edited, unique, fun, and simply amazing. Jake was also one of the people who was there for me almost the entire wedding. I was an emotional wreck. Things went wrong. People were nowhere to be found. Except Jake. He was like my wedding angel/therapist/friend/bartender/comedian/etc. When I needed a cocktail so badly, he got me one. When I needed a moment to myself and away from everyone, he made it happen. When I needed to laugh, he cracked a joke. I am forever grateful. I also hired Jake's wife, Ash, and her team to do hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids. I also work with my husband, so I was ecstatic to find out Jake's wife did HMU. Well Ash and her team made us look AMAZING. It was not overpowering, and really came out beautiful in photos!!! Ash also has this presence about her that is very calming, and just a beautiful soul. Im not sure why the hell I was such a mess, but I think i was on the verge of having a break down. Ash helped keep me calm by talking me through it and just shutting it down. My husband, who is super down to earth, calm, and collected...well he had a fun day, but for me, who is an introvert with high anxiety and unmanageable stress, that day was a blur and kinda like a dream. But when it all came to an end, the thing that made me so happy is that we not only have the MOST amazing photos to look back on forever, but we have also found great friendship in Jake & Ash. They are the best people who deserve everything great in this world! read more

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. read more

We hired Love & Wolves Beauty for hair & makeup for 11 bridesmaids. I told Ash that I don't like getting my makeup done, because I never recognize myself after. She knew exactly what I meant, and during our trial, did a very natural but beautiful boho look. Ash is wonderful and arrived with her team (3 total) exactly on time the morning of the wedding. They were so much fun to be around, and felt like our friends! We all had natural makeup, long loose waves/curls, and they secured our flower crowns. They did an incredible job on everyone's makeup. I was stunned at everyone's beauty. I was so impressed at how Ash did my hair and makeup. I looked and felt like myself, but 10x more beautiful! She knew how to emphasize our beauty without overdoing it on makeup. I highly recommend her for your hair and makeup! read more

Stop looking and book Love + Wolves right now! We had to cancel our big wedding but Jake and Ash moved mountains to create our epic elopement in Yosemite. Ash helped with styling two different looks and was amazing to work with in the weeks leading up to our wedding. I can't believe how perfectly she executed the hair and makeup I wanted for both my ceremony and reception. She did the same for my made of honor. Jake took us on an adventure through Yosemite for photos and we could not stop laughing. He is so enthusiastic and fun, while being extremely professional and talented. Another reviewer said his photos are magazine quality and I couldn't agree more-- in fact, several friends and family members said the same. Ash also helped style a tiny reception for four at our Airbnb and it was magic. Very boho, very elegant. But the best part is walking away from the experience feeling like we made some pretty amazing friends. You want this kind of energy at your wedding, especially in a time like this. Book them! read more

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 away 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. read more

While looking for a wedding/engagement photographer unique, artistic photographers were a must!!! Photography was probably top priority on my wedding list, so finding JBM weddings was so exciting!!! It was everything I was looking for, and they definitely delivered! So far we have only done our engagement shoot, and working and meeting Jake was such a great experience! Jake met with my fiancé and I in Golden Gate park, and instantly made us feel comfortable! It was like hanging out with an old friend! He really captured both of our personalities and our relationship. We got our pictures back earlier than expected which was an extra bonus! And of course they turned out AMAZING! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome! Now I can't wait for when he captures our wedding day!! I definitely recommend JMB wedding photography if you are looking for unique, artistic, beautiful photos that you will cherish! read more

LOVE + WOLVES - One of my favorite photos!! - Event Photography Near Me

LOVE AND WOLVES BEAUTY RULES THEM ALL! I seriously cannot recommend these incredible artists enough. Their attention to detail, taste level, finger on the pulse, collaborative spirit, and kindness was unmatched, and every person who got their hair and makeup done has never felt more beautiful. Every look was subtle and elegant and allowed our natural beauty to shine. My wedding was hands down the best day of my whole life. And I have never felt so stunning. EVER. I did two looks (one for the ceremony and one for the reception) and they both held up ALL NIGHT! It was actually miraculous as normally my makeup runs or my hair will fall when I'm dancing as hard as I was. I want to thank L&W from the bottom of my heart for helping to make my dreams come true! read more

We worked with Love + Wolves last year for our wedding so this review is long overdue. Our experience with Jake was incredible. He's super thoughtful, talented and the photos he took make our wedding day look like stills straight out of a movie. I love, love, love L+W's photography style -- so cinematic, elegant, dreamy, just stunning. Planning for the day-of was super easy because Jake is incredibly flexible and a genius so I was very grateful to not be stressed out about our wedding photos. When the big day came, Jake was with us for pretty much the entire day. It was a really hot day, I was nervous, but Jake made us feel light, took care of us (I remember him grabbing us water!), provided comedic relief, all while capturing the most amazing photos. Such an awesome guy and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for giving us our dream photos, L+W fam! read more

I had Aubrey and Whitney from Love and Wolves do hair and make up services for my October wedding in Stinson Beach. They were so wonderful and professional. I don't like to wear a lot of make up and often times when I get it done for an event I don't like the way I look. They did a wonderful job making the make up look natural and helping create a relaxed vibe I was going for. Thanks again! read more
