I could not recommend Jamie enough ! She shot my wedding earlier this month and from the first call through receiving my wedding photos back, she was kind , professional and responsive! We had a wedding of about a 130 people and she handled the large group with ease. Even my wedding coordinator and family have expressed what a pleasure it was working with her and we all hope to do so in the future. Thank you Jamie , my photos are beautiful ❤️

You will not go wrong with Jamie. Doing your photography for your wedding or any special events. She did my boudoir photos that turned out amazing. And she made you feel so comfortable and then she shot our wedding September 26 was there for 4 hours. Hit every detail possible.Listen to everything we wanted and I received my photos in less than a week.Absolutely amazing and fun to work with that.Half the time, I didn't even know she was around.That's how good she was. I give her a 5 star for the wonderful job.And the beautiful photos I received.

Jamie was absolutely incredible, both as a photographer and as a person. From start to finish, her calm, kind, and easygoing demeanor made everything feel effortless. She made ever...
yone feel completely at ease, and there was zero awkwardness in front of the camera, which is saying a lot with a big group. I gave her almost no direction in advance, and yet she somehow captured every single shot I could have imagined and then some. She worked seamlessly with all of our family and friends, coordinated perfectly with other vendors, and made the whole day feel smooth and fun.
The photos are breathtaking and everything I could have wanted and more. Even friends who had very high-end photographers were blown away by her work. I would choose her again every single time. There is truly nothing more I could have asked for. She is the real deal and worth every penny. I cannot recommend her enough.

It brings our family such joy to look at these precious memories that Jamie was able to capture. I wish I could give her all the stars!
