Last update: August 2026

Hey, I’m Jake! I’m a wedding photographer with a relaxed, fun approach designed to make sure you and your partner feel at ease throughout your special day. Why? Because comfort is key, and comfortable couples make for the best photographs.

My photography style covers candid, documentary, and posed styles, so I beautifully capture the essence of the most important moments in your life. While I absolutely love snapping candid shots, those raw, emotional moments that take your breath away, I wouldn’t dream of leaving out a few fabulous posed photos. Posed photography can be just as fun, and I’ll guide you every step of the way, especially if you’re camera shy. Seeing shy couples beam with confidence is one of the best parts of my job.

My goal is simple: to tell your story with an exceptional level of service and stunning imagery.

We’ll meet a couple of times before your wedding to make sure we’re on the same page about everything you want. I’ll write it all down, so nothing gets missed, and I can take a lot of the strain from your shoulders. I promise to keep things fun and stress-free! We’ll have a laugh, share in the excitement, and maybe even discover your hidden werk-it vibes!

If this sounds like your kind of wedding photography, let’s chat! Just remember, dates are only officially reserved once the deposit is paid and the contract is signed. I can’t wait to help capture your unforgettable day!

Jake Janes Photography is a Taunton, Somerset-based wedding photographer.

The best wedding photographer around!

Jake was our perfect photographer! Not only are his photography skills second to none, but he was so friendly and kind to us from when we first made contact to sending out our wedding photos.
There were no awkward moments even as we are people who don't normally like having pictures taken! He kept us laughing throughout the day, made us feel super relaxed and captured so many special moments. We would absolutely recommend Jake to everyone ❤️

A photographer with passion 🩵

Jake became our saviour when my other photographer cancelled at the last minute, and I am so glad they did. From the very first message with Jake, I knew he would be the perfect person for our day.
Jake is fun. Professional has brilliant banter and an amazing talent for making you feel incredible and capturing the most amazing pictures.
I can not thank Jake and Roslyn enough for their incredible work and making our day full of fun, laughter, and one we will always remember💛

Fun, Talented & Absolutely Brilliant!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and videographer for our wedding. Jake and Dave were amazing from start to finish and played such a huge part in making our day so special.
Jake was incredibly talented, but also such a lovely person to have around. He brought so much fun and laughter to our group photos, making everyone feel relaxed and turning them into a really enjoyable part of the day. He fitted in so naturally with our friends and family that it felt like having another friend there.
The photos are absolutely beautiful and captured so many special moments that we’ll treasure forever.
Dave was equally fantastic — friendly, professional and discreet. We barely noticed the cameras were there, but we know he captured all those precious moments for us to relive for years to come.
We couldn’t recommend Jake and Dave highly enough. They’re incredibly talented, genuinely lovely people and were a joy to have at our wedding. Thank you both so much for everything!

Amazing skills!

Jake was brilliant from start to finish. Tom and I are extremely self conscious but he put us and all our guests at ease. Well above and beyond the call of duty, he became our wedding guru for most of the day and knew just what to do in any situation with his encouragement to be ourselves and do it our way 'well this is what normally happens, but it's your wedding' Receiving the photos was an absolute joy and we cried all over again. Jake's ability to become invisible and, like some kind of Ninja, get in amongst it without ever getting in the way is incredible. He quietly caught so many of our guests getting emotional and really captured the beauty of the day. We will cherish these images and memories forever! Photos are Jake Janes here.

Great wedding photographer and a great guy

Jake was a brilliant wedding photographer, he’s talented, responsive and absolutely hilarious. He made us feel so at ease when both of us had thought we would hate having our photos taken! He made it loads of fun and the photos we have seen so far are absolutely gorgeous. Jake even went above and beyond to help us recreate a photo of my grandparents getting married at the same Church. Thank you so much Jake!

Jake is a magician!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I cannot recommend Jake highly enough! As someone who usually feels incredibly awkward and uncomfortable in front of a camera, I was a bit nervous about our wedding photos. But from the moment Jake and his team arrived, all of that anxiety completely melted away. He has this amazing ability to make you feel totally at ease, relaxed, and natural. Most importantly, his talent is unreal looking at the final photos, you would never guess how frantic I actually was. He managed to capture me looking completely relaxed, happy, and beautiful, without a single ounce of that stress showing.

On top of that, he put together an absolutely incredible team for our day. They were so accommodating literally saying yes to every single idea and suggestion I had throughout the entire day, no matter what. They directed me perfectly through the entire day honestly, I wouldn't have known what I was doing without them!

The final photos are nothing short of incredible. He captured the raw emotion, the laughter, and the beauty of our day so perfectly. Looking through the gallery feels like reliving the best day of our lives. If you want a photographer who is not only immensely talented but also feels like a supportive friend behind the lens, hire him immediately!🌟

My groom couldn't get enough of posing

Going into our intimate wedding we still wanted professional photos and explained to Jake what we were after.

He was very reasonable with the package offered and joined us at our elopement wedding, juggling our 7 month old and having 2 gorgeous witnesses.

I thought I'd be lucky to get my groom to do 20 min of photos but Jake instantly clicked with him and we even snuck in some of the poses I'd secretly sent Jake to orchestrate.

Somehow Jake blended in without being seen but also gave us the most incredible couples photo experience that was full of laughter, silliness and romance. He read the room just right. We are looking forward to all the shots but know they will just be perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hello there! It's me, Jake!

What am I like as a person? Well I don't want to toot my own little trumpet, but I'm an extremely friendly person with (I hope) a great sense of humour, so I like to think I'm easy to get on with. If you're nervous about going in front of the camera, no worries, I'm patient, and will support you and help build your confidence up until you're strutting about like a catwalk model.

I'm all about making people feel confident and happy. If I wasn't a photographer I'd be working in the mental health field being a therapist or councillor. I myself have had severe mental health struggles in the past, so I know what it's like, and if you're going through it all on your wedding day then I can relate, I can help, and I can be patient. Thankfully now I've learnt to deal with my mental struggles!

I have also had testicular cancer, which I'm constantly going undergoing tests for to make sure it doesn't come back! So make sure you check your boobs n balls ladies and gentlemen!

But why am I telling you this in a photography bio? Well if you do end up reading this far down (thank you very much<3), it's to raise awareness, and it's to show can if you do struggle with bad mental health, you can beat it! And if you catch cancer early enough, you can beat that too!
