OUR BRAND-IFESTO
Jones & Co. was built on the belief that you shouldn't have to choose between a business that works and work that means something.
We believe that you not only can, but should show up fully, honestly, and without apology. That you should choose the real moment over the 'perfect' one every single time. That a photograph should make your chest hurt a little, in the best possible way.
We're here because photography matters. Not for the facebook updates or IG dumps; for the scrapbooks and for the tangible memories that last longer than the algorithm. We live for the way joy -- real, unscripted, inconvenient joy -- looks when it catches you completely off guard, and those are the moments that lay the foundation for what we do.
The humans who find us, get us. They know connection is everything - in art, in life, in relationships and want to be fully present on their day, without the pressure to perform for the camera, or constant fear of going off schedule. They know and trust that we already have it handled, so they can focus on what really matters.
Our work is emotionally alive. It's lush, it's a little bit extra, and most importantly, it's real-freakin'-life.
Because comfort zones are boring. And we've never been very good at staying in them.
"She truly is a one in a million & i hope that every couple reading this books her to feel the magic she brings on your big day."

The non-negotiables
Authenticity over everything
We're not interested in the curated version of your day. We want the truth of it all. The way it actually felt, the moments nobody planned for, the version you'll want to revisit twenty years from now when everything else about that day has faded.
Show up full or not at all
This means editing every single photo by hand. Mailing the polaroids. Answering the texts. Showing up to your wedding day as the most prepared, most invested person in the room. It's the bare minimum we expect of ourselves -- and it always will be.
Build something worth keeping
In a world that moves fast and forgets faster, we are deliberate about what we create and how we create it. We shoot film. We print things. We send thank you cards. The things made with intention are the things that last -- and that's exactly the kind of work we're here to do.
we believe that
photos should make you feel something
Growth is non-negotiable
All love deserves to be celebrated
connection is everything
we fight against
inauthenticity in all it's forms
the idea that motherhood makes you less
shrinking to make others comfortable
the idea that success and soul are mutually exclusive
