About Jake Priester

---

I’m a Nashville-based Wedding Photographer. I got my first camera in the third grade and convinced the teacher to let me take the class picture. I was hooked.

I started as a second shooter for a well-established photographer, shooting weddings in Jackson, TN, in 2005. In 2008 I owned and managed the most prominent portrait studio in Little Rock, AR, doing over $300k in photography that year. That was shooting babies, children, families, seniors, and weddings. Lots of weddings. Along the way, I have learned from the best, including a three-day workshop with the number one wedding photographer in the world in Atlanta. I always could relate to people and make them feel at ease in front of the camera. I also design and print most of my own albums. In fact, I’m usually creating the album in my head as the wedding day progresses. I have never lost that creative itch that has to be scratched. That’s why I make most of my own prints in-house. I’m flattered when a couple trusts me to document one of the most important days in their lives. We take this honor very seriously. My style is photojournalistic, documenting this most important day for posterity. I am traditional in my designs, and they hold up over the years. Compared to more “edgy” trends that come and go. Every album tells a story of the day.
