Our Story
Meet Jacob and Mim. Local parents, active church members, and partners in photography, here to offer a relaxed, faith-friendly experience built on genuine connection, clear communication, and complete transparency.
Above all else, we are born-again Christians who love serving our local community at Central Mountains Baptist Church in Hazelbrook! When planning our own wedding, we experienced first-hand how frustrating it can be to navigate vague pricing or find out after the big day that photos were locked behind extra fees. Beyond that, we know how important it is to find a photographer who shares and respects your Christian values and respects the sanctity of your occasion; whether it’s a wedding, family session, or couples portraits.
We built Jacob & Mim Photography to offer an effortless experience that genuinely honours your faith, your time, and your budget. We operate with complete transparency: upfront pricing, no hidden costs, and full gallery delivery without any paywalls or watermarks. Most importantly, we bring a respectful, wholesome approach to every shoot, ensuring you feel comfortable, valued, and well cared for. It’s an honour to serve fellow believers with photography that faithfully captures your life’s special moments without compromise!
Jacob
The Photo Guy In Charge
My background is in private school photography, which is basically the ultimate training ground for staying quick on your feet. Over the years, I’ve shot everything from high-production musical theatre and athletics carnivals to polished corporate marketing shoots. Working across such a huge variety of environments taught me how to catch fleeting, split-second moments, keep high-energy crowds relaxed, and genuinely love every single second behind the lens.
I’ve logged over 2,000 board game plays in the last decade alone and placed in the top brackets for the National Australian Catan Championship. I have a deeply enthusiastic appreciation for a well-crafted, color-coded spreadsheet!
Mim
The Editing & Admin Gal (Who's Actually In Charge)
My love of photography started back when I was 15, camera in hand, documenting every moment at Girls Ag Camp. While Jacob is out behind the lens, I’m culling through thousands of raw images, fine-tuning the edits, and bringing out the magic in every single photo. Between managing our post-production and raising our two sweet little girls during the week, my days are full, creative, and endlessly rewarding.
With a background in local government, I also bring a serious set of admin skills, making sure all the gears are turning smoothly. Oh, and I’m also the resident barista keeping our home espresso machine running on high output to power it all!
