Jacob Wiegand is a photojournalist based in St. Louis, Missouri. He is available for freelance assignments when he isn’t covering Catholic life in the Archdiocese of St. Louis for the St. Louis Review newspaper and Catholic St. Louis magazine.
Before his time in St. Louis, he worked as a digital image specialist at Southeast Missouri State University and the photo editor/photographer at the Southeast Missourian newspaper in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
Wiegand has also worked as a visual journalist at The Jonesboro Sun in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and served as the photojournalism intern at The Tennessean, Deseret News, the Dubois County Herald and The Dispatch-Argus.
He has also held various staff and editor roles, including two semesters as photo and multimedia editor, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s student newspaper, the Daily Egyptian.
While taking a moments-based approach to his photography, the SIUC alumnus places a strong emphasis on the importance of feature storytelling believing chronicles of everyday life and regular people are of high value.
Jacob was named Catholic Media Association’s Photographer of the Year for images he took in 2022 covering Catholic life in the Archdiocese of St. Louis for the St. Louis Review.
He was also named the National Press Photographers Association’s 2017 Student Quarterly Clip Contest Photographer of the Year and was the 2016 runner-up for the same contest. His work has earned awards in other photojournalism contests including: the NPPA’s Monthly Clip Contest, College Photographer of the Year and the Indiana News Photographers Association’s Monthly Clip Contest.
