I’m Jim Lake, the photographer and owner of Jim Lake Photography. I’m a 60-ish family man, who moved to Madison, Alabama in 2008. I’ve been an avid photographer for over 40 years, making pictures of my military and defense department careers.

I enjoy photography, and preserving memories for couples, families, and events,. I count many of the people I’ve photographed as friends.

I think photography can be out of reach for some people because most photographers support themselves in that way. I appreciate that, but I have retired and do not use photography to “pay the rent”.  

Please look at my portfolio and let me preserve some memories for you. I look forward to talking with you.

“I can’t express how much it meant to me for everyone that helped and was part of my ‘happily ever after’. Jim Lake drove a long way to photograph my wedding and did the most amazing job. He is family.”
