Welcome! We’re Jakob and Kaylee Holtorf, a husband-and-wife photography duo based here in the Valley, and the hearts behind The Holtorfs Photo. What started as a shared love for creativity, people, and storytelling has grown into a business centered on capturing the moments that matter most.

We believe your wedding day isn’t just a series of events, it’s a collection of emotions, quiet in-between moments, happy tears, nervous laughter, and deep, unspoken love. That’s why our approach is rooted in a timeless, documentary style. We focus less on stiff posing and more on allowing your day to unfold naturally, so we can capture what it really feels like to be there. The way your partner looks at you when you’re not paying attention. The squeeze of a hand. The way your family celebrates you. Those are the moments that become priceless with time.

As a married couple ourselves, we understand how meaningful this season of life is. We know what it’s like to stand where you are — planning, dreaming, and hoping everything comes together just right. Because of that, we don’t just show up as photographers; we show up as a calming, supportive presence who genuinely cares about you and your story. From helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera to making sure nothing important gets missed, we’re with you every step of the way.

Our goal is simple: to preserve your day honestly and beautifully, so you can relive not just how it looked, but how it felt — for years, and generations, to come.

We would be honored to tell your story.

— Jakob & Kaylee
