We’re Jacobo and Macky Laya.
We’re a husband-and-wife photography team based in Fredericksburg, VA. For more than 17 years, we’ve had the honor of photographing weddings, portraits, quinceañeras, events, and family milestones across Virginia, the DMV, and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region.
After 26 years of marriage, we understand how meaningful it is to preserve the people, emotions, and once-in-a-lifetime moments that become part of your story.
We don’t believe photography is just about taking beautiful pictures. It’s about helping you remember how the moment felt.
Why Clients Choose Jac&Mac
Choosing a photographer is personal. You’re trusting someone with memories you can’t recreate, so the experience matters just as much as the final images.
A husband-and-wife team
We bring both professional experience and personal understanding to every wedding, portrait session, and celebration we photograph.
Story-driven photography
Our focus is on real emotion, meaningful details, and the in-between moments that make your photos feel like your story.
Prepared and personal
We take time to get to know you, talk through the details, and show up ready to capture what matters most.
Trusted by real clients
With 17+ years of experience and 169+ five-star reviews, we’ve built lasting relationships with clients who return for weddings, anniversaries, family portraits, and milestones.

More Than Just Photographers
We don’t just show up, take photos, and leave. We walk with you through the process, help you feel comfortable, and pay attention to the details so you can stay present in the moment.
Whether we’re photographing your wedding day, your family, your quinceañera, your business, or your next big celebration, our goal is always the same: to create images that feel honest, meaningful, and worth returning to for years.
