About Me
I'm Shaquan 'Shaq' Jacobs — a professional photographer and videographer raised in Maplewood, NJ. Over 7 years and hundreds of shoots, I've covered weddings, major events like On Air Fest and NY Advertising Week, and commercial work for restaurants and brands across NJ and NYC, including food photography for SpotHopper. Whatever you need captured, I show up prepared and deliver
My style is photojournalistic and documentary. I believe your day should be spent in the moment — not posing for photos. I'm a fly on the wall, capturing genuine moments as they unfold, while being a calming presence that keeps things on track without ever interrupting the flow.
From weddings to restaurant reels, my advanced camera and lighting knowledge travels with me everywhere. My professional experience spans intimate family sessions, large-scale corporate events, and commercial shoots — a promise of quality no matter the occasion.
I work seamlessly with my trusted team, including my lead videographer Brennen. We are an inclusive environment that respects every family, culture, and vision. Every package is custom built around your needs.
SHAQ J PHOTO — WEDDING EXPERIENCE
(01) Your wedding is more than a date on the calendar — it’s a promise, an investment, and the beginning of something lifelong.
(02) I honor that.
Your time, your story, your vision, and your trust matter to me, and every part of this experience is built to respect that commitment.
(03) My goal is simple:
Make you feel seen, supported, and confident knowing your day will be documented beautifully, naturally, and without stress.
