The JL Media Experience

What sets us apart from most photographers in the area is that we are a husband and wife team. Booking with us gets you two lead photographers the entire time! That means two perspectives, more moments captured, and a great dynamic to keep you at ease throughout the whole day. We love our couples and do everything we can to keep your day as stress free and fun as possible.


We serve couples who value authenticity and professionalism with a laid-back vibe, who value true-to-life color edits that feel romantic and real to who you are. You probably don't feel comfortable in front of a camera, and that is 110% okay! That's exactly what we're here for. We'll direct and pose you when it's needed, like for wedding party photos and couples portraits. We make it fun and you'll be laughing most of the time.


Weddings are incredibly important to us and we believe each and every couple deserves our absolute best. To ensure we are giving you our best, we limit weddings to 2 a month, and no more than 15 a year. By booking with us, you can feel confident that we will be full of creativity to truly document your day to the fullest.

Testimonials

Kaitlynn and Alen

Every time we got our pictures back we were blown away!!! They are able to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and they are so calm and friendly to work with. The photos that Loren and Justin captured with all 3 sessions were literally a dream, I couldn't ask for anything better to represent us and the love we felt during that time. Their editing is flawless and we even received every session back earlier than expected. I cannot say enough good things about them.
