Jake Holt Photography – Austin, New York City, San Jose bio picture

This is a blog.

I’m an Austin-based wedding photographer who has been named by countless highly-respected industry organizations, magazines and blogs as “a wedding photographer” and “Jake Holt,” as well as “an Austin photographer with a blog,” among many other descriptive terms. 


While I humbly accept such accolades, my true long-term goal is not further industry recognition, but securing worldwide nuclear disarmament and creating a successful chain of boutique hotels in California's beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains. Boutique hotels where each room will have a pet cat and I will serve coffee made from beans that I personally acquire from Patagonia via horseback & kayak. However, before I can secure world peace and open these amazing hotels, I must first continue creating vibrant, award-winning wedding photos for couples throughout the country – this is where you come in. Think about how wonderful it will be to live in a world free of nuclear weapons, especially when it has awesome hotel coffee (and cats) in it. Now, to the photos…

Austin, Texas Wedding @ Mercury Hall | Kelly & Terrell | March 23rd, 2012

Incorporating small children and big dogs into your wedding day can sometimes (always) be tough. I assume that Kelly & Terrell have some kind of super-secret (candy? dog treats? candy-shaped dog treats? dog-shaped candy?) that causes kids and dogs to behave wonderfully and smile – yes, as you’ll see, even the dogs were smiling. I need to know 1) what the secrets are and 2) if they will work on my neurotic cats. Please do tell. Many thanks to Margaret at 3 Apples Events for working her usual planning magic!

Houston, Texas Wedding | Mary & Ben | February 25th, 2012

When you hear the term “backyard wedding reception,” you probably think of a modest DIY get-together with a small group of immediate family & best friends. Time to redefine your expectations…this backyard reception was grander than most ballrooms. I found myself forgetting that I was in a home, as Keely Thorne Events, Mary, Ben, and their families did such a fabulous job transforming the place into a beautiful wedding reception venue. Amazing. I would expect nothing less from a couple that chose the awesome Hotel ZaZa as their prep location and the beautiful St. Paul’s Methodist for their ceremony. Extra bonus points to anyone who can guess what Ben was saying to Mary (while sitting under the tree) to make her laugh so hard…good luck!

By the way, for you fellow photography buffs out there – bonus points AND a high five to anyone who can correctly pick out the 2 images from this post that were shot on black and white medium format (6×4.5) film. I’ve been shooting a few rolls here and there lately and I’m really loving the results…
