The people behind the lens:
We’re Jo and Mario — your favorite photo-video duo based in Atlanta, always down to travel, and even more down to document your real-life magic
Two perspectives, one shared vision: to tell stories that actually mean something. Jo’s the social butterfly — quick to hug, faster to hype you up, and will try her best to make you laugh mid-shoot. Mario’s the quiet one — observant, intentional, and the steady presence who sees things others miss. For us, it’s all about the good stuff — honest stories, lasting memories, creative expression, and the moments that matter most.
Our style? Pose-free, pressure-free — no fake smiles here! Just the real, raw, beautiful moments that you call your life. We know these moments don’t belong to us and we get the honor of witnessing and documenting them. You letting us in is a real gift to us and we’re just here to celebrate your life as it is.
A little shoutout to Jo’s papaw, who used to say this anytime something was just really, really good. It stuck — and now it’s our way of saying yep, this is the good stuff. It’s a phrase that means a lot to us, and now, hopefully, to you too.
When we’re not behind the camera, you can probably find us taking long walks with our 7lb Maltipoo named Celia (yes, she’s the real boss), chasing down the best gas station tacos, or hunting for a new coffee or matcha spot that makes us feel something. Our playlists bounce from SZA to Deftones, so if it’s too quiet, something’s probably wrong.
We’re Jo + Mario, partners in life and in creating art that feels like home. If you're into effortless vibes, honest storytelling, and a photo experience that feels like hanging out with friends, then you're in the right place.
“To every bride who’s hesitant about booking Made by Jam—this is for you!”
“When I first started looking for a wedding photographer, I’ll be honest—I was panicking. I knew plenty of photographers, but none of their styles really spoke to me. Then my sister sent me Made by Jam’s page, saying she knew them and loved their work. The second I saw the photography, I immediately fell in love! From the very beginning, they was so professional, kind, and easy to talk to. She worked with my budget and even let me mix and match from two packages to create something that truly fit our needs. She sent a thoughtful questionnaire about the style of photos I liked and even asked for inspiration pictures so we could be 100% on the same page. Every conversation with her felt like chatting with a friend I’d known forever.On the wedding day, Jo and Mario completely blew us away! They were so prepared, communicated seamlessly with each other and with us, and made sure nothing was overlooked. Their presence was calm, reassuring, and joyful—the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding day.When we got our photos back, we were in awe. Every single image was stunning—they captured the day perfectly, in a way that felt natural and true to us. I couldn’t have dreamed of better photos or better people to take them.Jo and Mario, we are SO grateful that we found you. Thank you for capturing memories we’ll treasure forever. To every bride reading this: book Made by Jam. You will not regret it.” - Caleb and Bentley
