We’re Markie + Jake
I (Markie) started my business while living in NorCal, and continued it through years of being a single mom. Shortly after Jake and I got married, he began joining me on shoots and assisting during wedding days. Eventually, I handed him a camera and the rest is history.
We’ve worked together as a husband and wife team based in the PNW since 2017, and photographed weddings across the US. Being able to travel and work together is a huge blessing. We love getting to know clients as a couple and individuals.
When we’re not working weddings together, I’m a full time work at home mom and homeschool our four kiddos. Jake is a machinist at a local aerospace company (not Boeing) and is currently in school to advance his career. In our “spare” time, you can find us on the farm raising our own meat, in Westport clamming + crabbing or in the workshop completing whatever random project I’ve decided needed done that week.
We’re so excited to meet you in person and can’t wait to celebrate your wedding day!
OUR FAMILY CLIFF NOTES
The quick guide to getting to know our family and the minds behind Markie Jones Photography LLC.
Emi
Our eldest and assistant/photographer in training. Emi photographs alongside Markie when Jake is unavailable. Most weekday weddings will see her instead of him.
Gracie
Our second daughter and probably the reason we’re still here. Haha! She’s a fireball who loves to come along on family session and practice her photography skills.
Evan
Floor manager 1: our first boy. He loves playing with our old digital cameras and one day hopes to come photograph weddings too. He’s always asking: “When’s the next wedding, mama?”
Zeke
The one who’s actually in charge and our very own pandemic baby. He tagged along for our entire 2021 wedding season, including traveling across the country for a Minnesota wedding!
The Wedding Experience
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Weddings make most of us giddy with excitement; it’s such a big decision to marry the one you love! Whether it’s your first or third wedding, there’s still something special about creating a day that blends your unique personalities to showcase your couple personality. Our goal is to get to know our couples on a personal level and for every couple to enter their wedding day being comfortable and relaxed in front of our cameras.
Tell us about your wedding
We start with an appointment to go over your vision for both your engagement session and your wedding day, discuss how you dream of showcasing your memories and make a plan to execute the best way of memorializing this exciting time in your life!
Engagement Session + All the Planning
Once you’ve chosen us as your wedding photographers, we start the planning process for your engagement where you’ll get snuggle time with your love and end up with gorgeous images to use in Save the Dates and at your wedding.
We also spend time making sure we have the best plan of action for your wedding day, including knowing your VIP list, day of timeline and other vendors!
Time to Party
On your wedding day and honeymoon, you get to relax knowing your memories are in good hands! No phones in front of you, just a lot of beautiful memories to look back on! We’ll do the heavy lifting and showcase your day in the most beautiful way possible from start to finish.

* We frequently get asked if removing the engagement session will lower the price of the wedding package. The short answer is no. Your engagement session is a VITAL part of the wedding experience. During your engagement session, you’ll get a chance to know us, experience how we work and spend time getting comfortable in front of our cameras.
** It’s important to note that your online gallery CAN be shared with friends and family. They TOO may download images from your gallery for their personal use at no additional charge.
Wedding Videography Package
Highlight + Ceremony Video
Introducing our Highlight Video Package—the perfect way to relive your wedding day’s most unforgettable moments in cinematic style. This package includes a stunning 2-3 minute highlight reel that captures the essence of your celebration, from the quiet emotional moments to the wild dance floor fun, all set to music that reflects your vibe.
You’ll also receive a full, stationary video of your ceremony, so you can hear every vow, every laugh, and every happy tear as if you’re standing there again. Plus, we provide a high-quality mic to capture crystal-clear audio of your vows and the officiant during the ceremony—because your words are as important as the images.
With our Highlight Video Package, you’ll have both the emotion-packed highlights and the timeless ceremony footage to treasure forever.
