About JPP Studios
I’m Jacob Poehls, the photographer behind JPP Studios, specializing in documentary wedding photography here in Chicago. My focus is on capturing the authentic moments of your celebration: the real, unscripted emotions that make your day uniquely yours. Whether it’s an intimate glance, a spontaneous laugh, or something completely unexpected - the human experience, ultimately - these moments define who we are, and photography’s greatest gift is preserving them.
I believe in a philosophy of “timeless, not trendy.”
Real life is beautiful just as it is, and my approach embraces its quirks, humor, and raw emotion. I want you to feel free to be yourselves, fully present in your day, while I document the story as it naturally unfolds.
