"100% recommend Summer Daze Photos. From the moment they arrived they brought such a calm and kind energy to our wedding day. We thought we were biased about how incredible they are but we received so many compliments from our guests with the same sentiments. Every time we look at our photos it feels like the first time seeing them again because they captured more than just a moment but the feelings from the entire day. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend them enough. They are insanely talented and the most genuine people!"

"Five stars isn’t even enough for Emily and Jake. Besides choosing my husband, hiring them was the very best decision I made for my wedding day! They made the day SO fun with their energy but also provided a calmness that I really needed throughout the day. They were so efficient and on the Monday after our wedding day, had over 100 sneak peeks for us to look at, with every single one of them being so beautiful and obviously carefully chosen. After the wedding, friends and family were all commenting on how great the wedding was, but even more than that how great our photographers were. They really made everyone feel so comfortable because they are so friendly and so wonderful to be around. We just got our full gallery back and I am even more speechless than before. Getting to relive such a special day in this way is something that is truly priceless. They captured every moment - ones that I don’t remember because of the rush of the day and ones that I didn’t even know happened. It is so fun to get to see parts of your special day through their eyes that you couldn’t be present for! Every single photo is so beautiful, and I don’t know how I will ever choose a favorite. They are SO talented. Emily and Jake truly helped make our wedding day so special. Obviously photographers are important for these days, but I don’t think I realized how important they are to so many areas - they really helped carry the day and always made sure everyone was happy and having a great time. They are SO special and I will love them forever for what they were able to capture. I felt like I was with friends all day rather than people I hired and didnt know and that was priceless!!"

"We couldn’t have chosen a better photography team for our wedding. As very local, beach-loving people, their style immediately felt like us, and that’s exactly why we wanted to work with them. They photographed our engagement session and rehearsal dinner as well, which made such a difference, by the time the wedding came around, we felt completely comfortable in front of the camera. They truly understood our vibe from the start and captured it so naturally and beautifully. The photos feel authentic, effortless, and full of the energy of the weekend. We’re so grateful to have these memories documented by people who genuinely got us. We would 10/10 recommend Emily and Jake for your wedding photographers!"

I’m so glad we had Emily and Jake do our photos for our wedding! They were so easy to communicate with throughout wedding planning. Their packages offer so much and loved that they were able to capture our whole weekend. On the wedding day they were super organized and made family photos quick and easy. They work so well together and made us feel completely comfortable, even someone who normally feels awkward in front of the camera! We got sneak peeks just a couple days later, and the full gallery came back so quickly. Our photos are dreamy, warm, and beachy, everything we were hoping for! So grateful we chose them 🤍

"Emily & Jake were absolutely incredible - if you are considering them for your wedding photographers, do it!!!! They were both so incredibly sweet, which made our wedding party and guests feel so at ease with them while taking pictures. This is something I hadn’t experienced with wedding photographers before, they made the whole experience so comfortable, which is reflected in the pictures they captured as well. They also both have such an incredible eye, vision & passion for what they do. The photos we received are absolutely stunning. We could not be happier with how they turned out!! We also absolutely loved how they stayed for the entire wedding to make sure that not one moment was missed. This was something many other photographers did not offer and I am forever grateful that Emily & Jake do! Some of those pictures towards the end of the night are my absolute favorite. They were able to capture moments that I would have never been able to see otherwise. I will recommend them to anyone who will listen - they were the best! I can’t wait to work with them again in the future since they also offer couple & family sessions as well. Thank you again Emily & Jake for capturing the most beautiful pictures of our day!"

Emily and Jake are the very best! All of the most comfortable photography experiences I have ever had have been with them. They are masterful at capturing shots with authenticity and creativity. They are professional, personable & fun. Emily was so intentional to ask if I had a specific vision in mind for our engagement shoot & showed up with my ideas memorized and brought everything to life better than I could have imagined! Our wedding day with them was a dream as well. I was particularly grateful for the way they moved through family shots with ease - no small feat with our crew. All of our photos turned out beautifully, and we will treasure them forever.

"Emily and Jake surpassed all of our expectations! They were efficient with their communication throughout the whole planning process and put us at ease. We were nervous about being photographed because we aren’t used to it but they made us feel so comfortable. Not only were their photos amazing but they were so easy going it made everything feel stress-free. We received a preview of my photos within the week! They are amazing people inside and out and it really reflects in their work."

"I went into wedding planning with a specific vision, and skeptical that I’d be able to find someone who could execute it. I was running out of time to book a photographer, and knew I loved Emily’s website, and thought I’d take the leap and book her for my June 2024 wedding. Hands down, best decision I made. Emily and Jake quite literally took everything I was picturing in my head and made it real. Not only are they talented and intentional with their art, they are incomparably kind. I did not spend one second of my wedding worrying about how the photos would turn out, I fully trusted their process. But, more importantly than the absolutely stunning gallery they created, they took my attention away from what social media says a bride or wedding should look, and allowed me to focus on being present. I was able to have the best day of my life so far because I was focused on my husband, my family, and my friends. And Emily and Jake are the reason for that. I could not recommend them highly enough."

"Emily and Jake were truly a dream to work with and a huge part of our wedding day that we will now get to cherish forever thanks to our beautiful wedding gallery. Let me tell you…. The gallery DELIVERED!!!!!! Choosing “favorites” is a challenge because how beautiful every photo is. From both of their personalities to their professionalism, they are top tier and I am so grateful they were able to travel to Georgia and shoot our wedding. Summer Daze forever!!"

"Five starts is not enough for Jake and Emily. They are truly above and beyond. I had many friends and family approach me after wedding and share what beautiful energy they brought to our wedding and how beautifully they captured our special day! Booking a photographer is a HUGE part of your wedding. And I can promise you cannot go wrong with Summerdaze Photography! I hope to use them again for other special life events."

Emily and Jake are outstanding. I don't even know if I can describe how grateful we were to have them as part of our entire wedding process. They truly help every step of the way. Emily did our engagement shoot, her and Jake were a part of our welcome party, and then they captured all of the little and huge moments of our wedding day. What we personally loved is how organic they allowed us to be with our photos. They would do as many "posed"/"traditional" pictures that we wanted, but they were amazing at letting us be us on our wedding day and standing back and just capturing those moments. It was amazing for us to sit and relive our entire wedding day, even moments that we had missed in the moment, through looking at the gallery they delivered. Emily and Jake are incredible at what they do and deserve all of the praise for it.

Emily and Jake were absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for a better crew to capture our wedding day! They were easy to communicate with and answered any questions I had. On the day of the wedding during the ceremony and reception we didn’t even know they were there but they captured every single moment so perfectly. When it came time for bride groom shots they made us feel so comfortable and just laugh. I’m normally not someone who is good with PDA in public but I felt so good and the pictures turned out AMAZING. AND BEST PART we got sneak peeks back the next day!!

Wow!!! Emily and Jake are absolutely amazing. We knew from the very beginning that they were going to be awesome, but they exceeded our expectations and were even more awesome than anyone could possibly imagine. From planning the timeline to the day of, they made everything easy and effortless for us, so the day went as smoothly as it could have. You can tell that they love what they do, and they have fun while doing it. They are great with direction on poses and also capturing YOUR vision. They made us feel super comfortable and calm. Sometimes, having your photos taken can be exhausting or frustrating, but not with them. They made it fun and exciting. Emily and Jake have the perfect personalities for this. They got everyone excited and knew exactly what to do and say in every situation. The photos are amazing. They are even more than what we were hoping for. They are just perfect. They show exactly how beautiful our wedding day was, and we couldn’t be happier. If we could give a million stars, we would. We definitely recommend Summer Daze Media! Thank you so much, Emily and Jake, for capturing our wedding day so perfectly. We hope to work with you again in the future!!!

Summer Daze is amazing! Our wedding guests still talk about them nonstop! They made us feel super comfortable and felt like friends from the start. They’re not only incredibly talented but also so kind, thoughtful, and easy to work with. On our wedding day, they blended right in while still capturing the most beautiful, genuine moments. We’ll cherish our photos forever. Highly recommend over and over again!!

Summer Daze made our wedding photos look like a fairy tale come to life. They fully exceeded our every expectation and then some! The vibe they brought to the photo sessions made everyone feel relaxed, comfortable and photo ready! They cultivated a fun environment that made everyone genuinely smile, not just pose for the pictures! I never thought in a million years that all of my groomsmen would basket toss me into the air while we were all wearing suits — now it’s one of my favorite pictures of all time, and a genuine memory we all recall fondly! They made my gorgeous bride look like an angel sent down from Heaven above, surrounded by flowers and light. We loved their mix of digital and film photography. They made our ceremony look like the dream come true that it was. And their photos of our reception made it look like the party of the century! The turnaround for the photos was so fast we got our sneak peeks the same weekend as our wedding! We got the rest of the photos within a month (perfect timing for Mother’s Day gifts). They captured every moment we wanted to remember, and thanks to them we have our memories on gorgeous photos spread throughout our home, and we appreciate their work so much!

Emily and Jake! I’m so grateful that these two were apart of our day. Such great communication leading up and brought such a calmness to the day. They were able to take all of the photos we wanted and so many family photos without us missing anything in our day! The photos look so amazing and will be cherished forever. I recommend them to anyone in Jacksonville looking for a photographer!

We absolutely loved working with Emily and Jake! They were so warm and personal, and because they’re a married couple themselves, they made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. It never felt posed or forced — just fun and natural. They captured every special moment perfectly and felt more like friends than vendors. We couldn’t recommend them more!
