Jaci Berkopec

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag. But more importantly I am a wedding, brand, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love. I’m a midwest girl at heart and when I was 18, my passion brought me to NYC to attend The School of Visual Arts for 4 years with a major in photography. Throughout my schooling I was working for top companies such as Milk Studios, BlackBook Magazine and Channel 13 at WNET. I have photographed across the world from France to Portugal, London, Italy, Nepal, Thailand, Peru and other dazzling countries. I have been honored to photograph magical events, strong characters, amazing musicians, and powerful landscapes. Now 10 years after my move to NYC I am still hustling in this crazy city as a freelance photographer. Alongside weddings, I also capture portraits, lifestyle and portraits. In all of my work, I strive to capture humans at their happiest, most empowered, genuine selves. I work hard at what I do, I put my heart into my work and don't stop until I truly am proud of what I have created. I am here to document the real, raw moments for you. I want you to look at your photos and scream "Hell yeah!" I avoid the cheesy poses and I want to capture your personality, love, family, and relationship. My favorite part about my job is that I get to meet couples and individuals, learn their stories and participate in their special day. So let's create, chat, Pinterest our little hearts out, have a glass of wine, and get to planning your shoot! This is an LGBTQ friendly space. All shapes, sizes, colors, ethnicities are safe with me. As I continue in my career, my passion for exploration, people, and nature will never stop growing. With a drive for adventure and a camera always at my side, I will continue to photograph this beautiful planet we live in.
