The Story

Hey, I'm Jake

I studied media production at Stark State College and never really left the edit bay. Somewhere along the way I started teaching video editing and videography to the students coming up behind me, and I still think that is the best way to learn a thing: well enough to explain it.

The DJ side started first, under the name Earworm Muzic Services, working parties and school events around Stark and Summit County. The camera came along to those nights, then to a friend's wedding, then to the sideline at Wadsworth varsity games. At some point it stopped being a side thing and became JS Media.

These days I am on the sideline under the lights, in the back of the church during the first look, and behind the booth when the dance floor finally fills up. It is me you talk to, me on the camera, and me cutting the footage at midnight because I want you to see it while it still feels fresh.

Quick turnaround. Straight answers. Footage you will actually want to share.

How I Work

What you are actually getting

A wedding does not get a second take. Neither does a graduation, a fundraiser, or the last game of somebody's senior season. Here is what it means to hand that over to me.

You talk to the person shooting it

No account manager and no handoff. Whoever answers your first message is the one holding the camera on the day.

One person, the whole day

Film, photo and DJ from the same hands. One booking, one point of contact, and no vendors bumping into each other at your event.

Back while it still feels fresh

Edited while the day still matters to you, and delivered in the sizes you actually need, vertical cut included.

A straight answer before you pay anything

You get availability, a plan for how the day gets covered, and the number, all before any money moves.

Trained on it, then taught it

Media production at Stark State College, and enough time in the edit bay to teach video editing to the students coming up behind.

Fifty miles in any direction

Wadsworth based, working Akron, Cleveland, Lorain, Canton, Wooster and everywhere between. Getting there is never the hard part.

Gear and Process

Enough kit to cover the day, not a spec sheet

Full-frame cameras for the stills and the film, a drone for the wide look when the venue allows it, wireless mics so the vows and the toasts come through clean, and a lighting kit so the reception does not turn to mud after sunset.

Everything gets cut in Adobe Premiere, color matched, captioned where it helps, and exported in the sizes you actually use. A landscape film for the TV, a vertical cut for the feed, and photos in a gallery you can download and print from.

  • Two camera bodies on every wedding, so nothing depends on one battery.
  • Backups made before I leave the parking lot. Your footage never lives in one place.
  • Highlights within a week. Full edits in two to three.
  • You approve the cut before it goes anywhere public.

Good To Know

Three things people ask

The short version. Anything else is a quick text away.

What does a videographer do?

A videographer plans the coverage with you, shows up early with cameras, sound, and light, films the day as it happens, and then edits the footage into something you will actually watch and share. With JS Media the same person does all of it, from the first call to the final file.

Do you work alone or with a crew?

Most days it is Jake, so the person you talked to is the one holding the camera. For big weddings and multi-camera events a second shooter comes along, and you will know that before you book.

Can I hire you for just photos or just DJ?

Yes. Every service on the site can be booked on its own. Photo-only days, DJ-only nights, and edit-only projects are all normal. Booking two together on the same day usually costs less than two separate vendors.

What People Say

Word from past clients

Jake went above and beyond to capture our event beautifully. He arrived early, was professional from start to finish, and effortlessly connected with everyone from the DJ to community members. His photography services were top notch, and it was truly a pleasure working with him.

Tamira M.Community event, Lorain The Bash

Jake was amazing!!! He helped with generating ideas and questions for a trivia contest and names for a costume contest. The day of he was prompt and personable. He took requests and was kind to all our guests, including the kids. I would happily recommend him for any of your party needs!

Julie S.Birthday party, North Canton The Bash

True professionals. They visited our venue a week prior to the event to check out the room and sound, and asked about the age of our guests and musical preferences. During the event they helped us with our costume contest. The music played was great for what we were attempting to accomplish. They nailed it!
