hi, i’m Jacob Prather …
— filmmaker, photographer, and the person who will probably tear up behind the camera because I know how nice this shot will look in post.
I started in film because I’ve always believed moments deserve to be remembered the way they felt — not just the way they looked. I built JP Visuals around one simple goal: create films that feel honest, timeless, and deeply personal.
I’ve filmed intimate backyard ceremonies, elegant black-tie weddings, and emotional elopements in places that feel like they were pulled from a movie. No matter the setting, my focus is the same — capturing connection, movement, and the in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
When I’m not filming weddings, I work full-time in multimedia and technology at Auburn University, where I teach and manage production systems. That background keeps my workflow organized, reliable, and calm — especially on high-energy wedding days.
If you care about storytelling, music that gives you chills, and reliving your wedding day in a way that feels cinematic but still completely you — we’ll get along perfectly.
Let’s make something that lasts.
