Love in Theory

Photographer

Love in Theory is a multi-award winning wedding and portrait photography studio specializing in modern, nontraditional and editorial style photography. The company was founded in 2011 by Jacq Lew, who was born and raised in San Francisco, then attended UCLA School of Arts and Architecture. She then finished her BFA at School of Visual Arts in New York City with a focus on photography and an excellence in psychology. Upon moving to New York from California, one of the few precious books Jacq brought with her was named “Art in Theory”. In it, it explores intimate statements from artists and theses from prominent figures who so intelligently break down and analyze pieces from photography to paintings to performance art and beyond. The careful analysis, the clever eye, and the willingness to really know and understand others’ emotions and characters inspired Jacq to name her company Love in Theory. Jacq prides herself in being able to capture chic looks and authentic moments by connecting with clients on both a professional and personal level. Read more

    Jacqui's work is amazing, she is incredibly creative and captures every moment, even ones you never realized existed until you get your pictures back! Above all else, she's an incredibly kind person who made us feel like friends every step of the way. Wait till you see the pretty little package your photos come in, just one more fantastic detail!

    I can't stress enough how awesome, talented, generous, sincere and caring Jacq is.She is such a dedicated person; despite being under the weather, she photographed our wedding with full gumption. ... It's so important to be comfortable around your photographer during the wedding, since you are letting them into your personal space, with Jacq it was really easy and enjoyable. She felt like part of the family. As for the pictures, her portfolio speaks for itself. Her lighting, angles, composition and her style are all amazing and unique. Her love and talent for photography shines through all her pictures. We love you Jacq and we can't thank you enough. ...

    ... LoveinTheory was not only an AMAZINGLY TALENTED photographer but she turned out to be my Maid of Honor!! ... Jacq is a wonderful artist and human being, she is kindhearted, funny, relaxed, and smart. Both my fiancé and I felt like she was our life-long friend from the first coffee she had with us! We felt completely comfortable throughout the entire photoshoot and saw a great sneak peek at the end of the day!! ... Gui, her super-talented Brazilian associate, was a pleasant surprise! We couldn't even imagine that we would be so lucky to have a SECOND photographer capturing fashion-style memories of our big day. ...
