Passionate about photography

At Shutter Savant, we are passionate about capturing life’s most cherished moments, especially in weddings and events. Each celebration tells a unique story, filled with emotion and beauty, and we strive to encapsulate these fleeting moments in a way that resonates with everyone present. Our love for photography extends beyond events; we are also deeply inspired by the serene beauty of nature. Whether it’s the golden hour light filtering through trees or a tranquil sunset over the mountains, the natural world fuels our creativity and artistry. In addition to photography, our team includes accomplished writers, allowing us to weave narratives that bring our images to life. Together, these passions create a harmonious blend of visual storytelling that reflects our appreciation for both human connections and the wonders of the world around us.

Owner – Jason Laughlin


Photo of Me

Welcome! My name is Jason Laughlin, and I am the owner and lead photographer at Shutter Savant. After my career as an Army nurse was cut short due to injuries, I discovered a passion for storytelling and poetry in my mid-30s. This led me to pursue a degree in Journalism, as well as a second degree in Anthropology. During my academic journey, I also undertook photography courses and began capturing events for friends and family, quickly recognizing my natural aptitude for the medium. Since then, I have dedicated myself to expanding my expertise in both photography and video production, honing my skills in editing and storytelling. My primary passion, however, resides in nature photography, where I find joy in crafting images that unfold into captivating stories complemented by engaging narration. I am committed to providing professional photography and writing services tailored to meet your needs, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you.
