Documentary wedding photography · New York & beyond

Let’s talk

The approach

Be here.
Be yourselves.

A wedding isn’t a photo shoot. It’s a gathering of your people, with familiar faces and moments you couldn’t have planned.

I offer a little direction when portraits need it, then leave room for the day to unfold. You get to be part of it.

“Jack captured the essence of our wedding perfectly. From the couple shots to the party, we are over the moon with our pictures and couldn’t recommend him enough!”
Digital + film

A different
kind of feeling.

I photograph with digital cameras and film, including 35mm and medium format. We’ll talk about the balance that makes sense for your celebration.

Behind the camera

Hi, I’m Jack.

I’m a photographer based in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. I’ve been making photographs for publications, brands and couples for about 15 years.

Weddings bring together what I’m drawn to most: people, place, and the feeling of a moment. I work intuitively, offer thoughtful guidance, and pay attention to what’s happening around me.

My mom, Lauren Rutten, photographed weddings for 30 years. That’s where my relationship to this work started, as a toddler holding her light meter. I got to absorb a lifetime of her experience, and I still learn from her.

I’m married. My own wedding, and the weddings of my friends and family, have been some of the most important days of my life. Being the person with the camera at someone else’s is an honor. I take it seriously, and with a big heart.

If you’re curious what I do when I’m not photographing weddings: I shoot for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times and TIME, work with commercial brands, make short films about contemporary dance, and keep up a few personal projects. All of that lives at jacksorokin.com.
