Reach out
Tell me about your day. I personally respond, often with a quick video message, so you know there's a real person on the other end — not some dumb chatbot.
Every portfolio looks beautiful. Every photographer says they’ll capture your day perfectly. But you’ve probably felt that flicker of doubt, what if the photos come back gorgeous but somehow don’t feel like you?
What if you spend the day worried about hitting your shot list instead of just being present in it?
You’re not wrong to take this seriously. These photos are how you’ll remember today when you’re seventy. It’s worth getting right.
I read every message personally and will follow up often within minutes.
The process
Tell me about your day. I personally respond, often with a quick video message, so you know there's a real person on the other end — not some dumb chatbot.
We hop on a call or meet at the studio — whichever feels more comfortable — and talk through your vision, your venue, and what matters most to you.
Booking means you've got a partner in this now. We'll stay in touch as your day comes together — working through the timeline, the details, whatever you need — so by the time your wedding arrives, nothing feels unfamiliar.

Francesca and Raymond
The Merion
“What really set Jared apart was his incredible personality—super cool, down-to-earth, and someone you instantly feel comfortable with and the photos are absolutely stunning—better than we could have ever imagined. Every time i look at them, I feel like I’m reliving the best day of my life.”
Amanda & Stephen
Lincoln Financial Field
“Absolutely thrilled with the experience we had with our wedding photographer, Jared! From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation. We got married at the Eagles game, and he was totally game (no pun intended!) to make it all work. Not only did Jared capture the most stunning moments, but he also made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. His attention to detail is second to none, and every shot was perfectly composed—our photos are nothing short of magical.”
Christina & Tan
Rivercrest Country Club
“We wanted a photographer who could match our joyful, energetic, and fun personalities. We also needed someone who could help us feel comfortable in front of the camera, as we aren’t the most photogenic people. Jared from Days Away Creative delivered on every front. His work is inspiring, capturing moments with such authenticity and emotion, and that’s exactly what we wanted to preserve.”
Roxanna & Austin
Pen Ryn Estate
“Above and Beyond for both our engagement session and on our wedding day. Jared made the whole process seamless for us and was just so fun to work with. My husband and I were blown away with the moments he captured”
Tara & Bow
American Swedish Historical Museum
“Jared has a unique way of making you seem like his most important client. We never took professional pictures together before. He made us feel comfortable and very natural. He’s a great cheerleader and makes you feel like a pro.
Jared was there for us throughout wedding planning process. Day of the wedding, he was monumental in setting the stage for our day. He was an energized but calming presence. He knew our schedule and our priorities and knew how to manage a crowd. We couldn’t have imagined the day without him.”
Samantha & Christopher
The Bradford Estate
“From the moment we started working with Jared, he was dedicated to making our vision a reality. Jared and his partner Alex were an absolute dream! They were prompt, organized, and extremely personable with our wedding party, family, and friends. Not only was Jared personable and easy to work with but his photographs are amazing and will be sharing them for years to come! “
Somewhere between the Pinterest boards, the opinions, and the version of ‘perfect’ everyone else seems to have, it’s easy to lose track of what actually feels like you… You want someone who cares enough to ask, and protects what makes your day yours, even when everyone else has opinions. Get this wrong, and you find yourself living small portions of other peoples wedding days instead of your own.
