Hi there! Welcome. We’d like to start off by not Pandering (i.e. telling you how much we LOVE love, couples, weddings, and all of that jazz) and instead be real/ non sales-pitchy.

Hey! Let’s start with the nitty gritty: We’re a REAL couple who has been together for nearly 8 years. Unlike most in our field we have some of the highest Photography educations that one can get worldwide. Jenny has 3 degrees including her MFA (like PhD) in Fine Art Photography and Jason has his BFA in Commercial Photography. Because of our specialties, Jenny gravitates toward a more Fine Art direction in her work while Jason loves to utilize the opposite & (in our minds) equally important Commercial techniques. We've been in business for over 12 years (having rebranded together 7+ years ago). Our physical Studio, Consultation Office, & Editing Office for the past 6 years have all been located here in South Bend, Indiana (10 minutes from Southwest Michigan & 1.5 hours from Chicago). We previously worked for our business from old home locations in Santa Barbara, California, Columbus, Ohio, & Southwest Michigan, but for the past 8 years have focused in on the South Bend/ Notre Dame/ Chicago/ Michiana region (though capturing our very first South Bend weddings 12 years ago). We’ve photographed weddings in 3 countries, in, from, & around around 15 United States, and for couples in from 5 other countries.

Our Couples and J&J clientele range from ultra liberal to ultra conservative, have an array of backgrounds, range from religious (Catholic, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc) to Not Religious at All, include the LGBTQIA community, come from all different countries/ walks of life, are great at Emotional Regulation/ mature communication, are most often educated and well-employed, are very driven but kind, and are the exact diversity that we seek out in the world. Since we both come from very different backgrounds and rejoyce in diversity (and are lifelong Social Justice advocates) we take pride in inclusion and love. You can catch us photographing a couple’s bohemian wedding in the beautiful mountains of Southern & Central California to capturing a beautifully classic traditional Catholic wedding day at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at The University of Notre Dame (7 minutes from our home) to photographing a lovely urban wedding at a freshly renovated brick & wood sprawling art gallery in Chicago or Indianapolis to capturing a lovely beach-centric wedding just 40 minutes away on Lake Michigan in St. Joe, Michigan. At the end of the day it’s about the two of you and your loved ones. We can bring any style to the table because the main thing we cater to is you by capturing the most stunning and memorable physical memories of your big day.

We know from our own life experiences and house/ home/ family that we’ve built together that love, any relationship, and teamwork aren’t always easy or perfect, but in the end it’s all about learning, loving, and growing together. Personally (at home) we have 3 furry animal children that we rescued over the past 6+ years: (Kevin the cat (14+), Coco the dog (7+), & Rizzo the pup (2+)). Our home is ALL (literally) vintage and antique decor that we’ve hand hunted over the past decade as we pride ourselves on working on projects ourselves (since we’re visually picky).

Things that get us excited outside of work: That we will soon be entering our 9th Spring/ Summer/ Autumn with our food gardens & Year 3 with our Non-Essential Pandemic Perennial Gardens! We love gardening, all animals (rescuing, conservation, etc), antiquing (especially estate sales), hiking, cooking both organic and very inorganic foods (think Red Hot spicy cinnamon candy ice cream), and more!

Our Professional Experience

     Back in 2003 a whopping 20-ish years ago we began our formal studies in photography taking courses in school: Jenny in dark room film photography courses in both high school and college and Jason in digital Photoshop courses in high school and college. When we started dating in 2014 we were already professional photographers, so we both already had our own solo photography business websites and valued clients in California, Ohio, Chicago, Michigan, & Indiana. This lead to our rebranding 7- 8 years ago.

   Though we are now solely Wedding and Portrait Photographers and have been for years, we've also both worked in the field of photography in various other ways over the past 12 years alongside our Wedding and Portrait Photography businesses. Jason started with a job at a Commercial Photography Studio near Los Angeles and followed it up with a job at a Stock Photography agency in Santa Barbara. Jenny ran her own wedding and portrait business out of Columbus, Ohio then worked at the Photography Studio of the largest online retailer in the world in Los Angeles, California. She’s gone on to help teach fine art photography workshops for middle and high schoolers, though is qualified (with her MFA) to teach at universities. 

      We've both worked with a variety of film cameras, Jason knows a thing or two about ambrotypes, and Jenny has fine art photography skills in cyanotype, photogravure, and much prefers silver gelatin printing (black-and-white film) in a dark room since that's what she was trained in for 8 years starting in 2001. 

Our Philosophy

     First and foremost, we're a couple who likes to laugh and make things fun. That being said, we're not exactly traditional, basic photographers. We're a unique pair fond of fossils, skeletons, imperfections, and the more interesting side of life. We find things that are simply "beautiful" to be bland and boring because life is in no way perfect, nor is any relationship. The more unique the idea or concept for a photograph, the more we enjoy creating it. We also firmly believe in printed photography products and provide physical photographs (such as those within our handmade Keepsake Boxes) with EVERY single package we sell for our Wedding Collections AND Portrait Sessions-! A photograph is NOT finished until it is printed, and we firmly believe in printing photographs beautifully and professionally (rather than at CVS, Shutterfly, etc.). We've been trained by the best throughout the years in printing and photo product designing and we vow to bring you the BEST quality finished photos around-! We're actually the only photographers in the area to do this and we're very proud of that. We want the best for our clients, so we love to go above and beyond!
