MY APPROACH
Direction when you need it. Space when the moment is real.
You do not need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I will guide you through portraits with simple direction that feels natural, then step back and document the laughter, reactions, and quiet moments as they happen.
The finished gallery is bold and cinematic without losing the honest color, emotion, and atmosphere of your wedding day.
See More Than the Highlights
A wedding gallery should be beautiful from beginning to end—not only in a handful of portfolio images. Explore complete celebrations to see how I photograph changing light, family portraits, ceremonies, receptions, and everything in between.
Wedding Photography — Starting at $1,500
Straightforward coverage with everything you need.
I offer one flexible photography collection that can be customized around the coverage you need.
Every collection includes:
• All final photographs carefully selected and individually edited
• Meaningful moments delivered—not limited to a set number of images
• Full-resolution files for high-quality printing
• No watermarks
• Personal printing and online sharing rights
• Wedding-day timeline planning
• A calm, reassuring presence—even when the day gets stressful
• A private online gallery available for one year, with optional print ordering
• Coverage options from 4 to 10 hours
I remove duplicates, test shots, blinks, and misfires—but if an image helps tell the story of your day, you’ll receive it.
Add Video Starting at Only $500
Add RAW video coverage to your wedding photography and relive the moments photos simply can’t capture—including your ceremony, toasts, and key dances.

A Few Things Couples Usually Ask
Do you offer wedding photography and videography together?
Yes. I offer wedding photography and videography together for couples who want both without hiring two separate companies. My signature collection includes a complete wedding photography gallery along with a cinematic 5–7 minute wedding film. Photography and dedicated videography can also be booked separately.
Will you personally photograph our wedding?
Yes. Every wedding booked through JakeGleim.com is personally led and photographed by me. From planning through the wedding day, you work directly with me—not a randomly assigned photographer. If you add a second photographer or cinematographer, I still remain your lead and primary point of contact.
What happens if you get sick or can't photograph our wedding?
It’s extremely rare, but there’s a solid backup plan in place. In addition to my personal photography work, I own and operate a larger wedding photo and video studio with a trusted team of experienced professionals. If an illness, injury, or true emergency ever prevented me from being there, I have talented photographers I trust who can step in and make sure your wedding is covered.
When you book JakeGleim.com, you’re booking me personally—but you also have the added security of an established team behind me if the unexpected happens.
How can one person capture both wedding photos and video?
Photography is always the foundation of my hybrid coverage. Throughout the wedding day, I intentionally move between still photography and cinematic motion while using additional cameras when needed to preserve important moments. It works especially well for couples who want a complete wedding photography gallery plus a beautiful, concise film.
If video is equally important to photography or you want more continuous documentary coverage, I recommend adding a second cinematographer or choosing dedicated videography.
What if we're awkward in front of the camera?
That's completely normal—and honestly, most couples tell me some version of this before their wedding. I give you clear, relaxed direction when you need it and step back when the best photographs are already happening naturally. You don't need to know how to pose or perform for the camera. That's my job.
Do you photograph weddings outside of Waco?
Yes. I'm based near Waco and primarily photograph weddings throughout Waco and the surrounding Central Texas area. I intentionally keep most of my photography work within about an hour of home so I can keep the experience personal and be the one actually photographing your wedding.
I do occasionally accept weddings farther across Texas when the date and plans are a good fit.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR WEDDING
I primarily serve weddings within about an hour of my home near Valley Mills, including Waco, Clifton, Crawford, McGregor, China Spring, Woodway, Hewitt, Robinson, and the surrounding Central Texas communities.
Planning a wedding just outside that area? Send me the details and I'll let you know if the date and location are a fit.
