Tom Jakob began taking pictures and video at 15 years old after whimsically deciding to enroll in his high school's photography class. Little did he know how much of a profound impact that decision would have on the rest of his life. Since that day, Tom has applied these skills to a whole host of projects and events.

Tom's camera has followed him on a wide variety of adventures; from mountain tops, to desert valleys; courthouses, to courthouse steps; farms, to skyscrapers. Through its lens, he's gotten to capture many exciting and important events, such as Black Lives Matter protests, restaurant openings, and IronMan races.

Part of what Tom loves about photography is how conducive it is to his other passion. As a published journalist, the privilege he enjoys of providing a voice to the voiceless is among the most fulfilling and humbling available in this world of ours. For the same token, photography allows him to meet many different people for many different reasons. And what he loves most about that is the excitement of providing someone with ever-lasting memories that might otherwise not exist, or exist differently.

Tom's guiding principle to photography is simple: if it looks like something he wants to remember, snap it now and ask questions later. But let's face it...photography isn't as easy as pointing a camera at something and pressing a button. It takes time, concentration, and an understanding of heavy, expensive gear to take a truly exceptional photo. These are all things that can be hard to come by when you're trying to put on a great event. And that's why you need someone like Tom; someone who can relieve you of all the stress that comes with capturing memories as beautifully as you remember them in your mind's eye.

No matter the job, he looks forward to working with you to save as many memories of it as possible!
