Jamie was absolutely amazing from day one. She did an incredible job with our engagement shoot and was supportive, professional, and kind throughout the entire process. I love her ...
photography style and the way she helped us pose and feel comfortable in front of a camera. I cannot recommend her enough!
Jamie shot our wedding and engagement photos, and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. I’ll start with the engagement photos - she met us in Bloomington, IN where my husband a...
nd I first met. My husband and I are both a bit shy in front of the camera, and she had certain poses to make the whole process feel natural. I absolutely loved the way she captured our love and laughs.
We got married during the pandemic (#coronabride), which caused additional worries, stress, and change of plans. One certainty we had throughout the entire planning period was Jamie, and we are so thankful for that. She told us she would be there for us that day no matter what, and she truly was.
She helps plan out your entire day, and ensures aspects are captured and accounted for that you may not have remembered. She helps you stick to a schedule without feeling rushed or stressed. She captures all the necessary, staged photos you want from your wedding while also capturing those special moments. Looking back through our photos, I couldn’t believe all the laughs, smiles, “cheers”, and tears she caught. Your wedding photos are so important to have, because it reminds you of those special moments you might have forgotten throughout the day! And, Jamie did so beautifully.
I feel like we got so much more than a wedding photographer with Jamie. We got someone who truly wanted the best for us, made sure our day was perfect while capturing everything. Your wedding photographer is there with you during one of the best days of your life! You have to make sure you pick the right person, and I can guarantee that is Jamie.

We could not have been happier with Jamie for our wedding photography! She took wonderful unique shots that really captured the feel of our day- the weather on our wedding day was ...
drearier than we expected and one reason I chose Jamie is her versatility in all kinds of weather and light- her photos always look good! She was also wonderful to work with, keeping us on track time wise, calming me down when I briefly misplaced our wedding bands, and even transporting me from our Airbnb to the venue because she had room for my dress! From getting ready to reception we get to look back on each special moment thanks to Jamie! Highly recommend!
If you are getting married in Indiana and you are able to book Jamie as your photographer, you are one lucky couple. Jamie was able to capture every moment so beautifully, and her...
ability to find the light or create light to tell our story, separates her as a top tier photographer. Her and her husband are an awesome team, and made us feel so comfortable and easy.
I had heard many stories from friends about how they felt they didn't have enough photos from their wedding, or they wish their photographer would have captured certain things that were missed. Jamie delivered above and beyond my expectations. She not only captured my husband and I every step of the way, but she captured our family and friends and the pure joy of the ENTIRE day. I could not believe that out that many photos, that I fell in love with them ALL.
I feel like we get to relive the day forever with our photos, and I couldn't be happier that we found Jamie to shoot our wedding. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Jamie was an absolute pleasure to work with! And our photos turned out better than we could have imagined! We would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

ugh her photos were good the direction and organization was nothing compared to working with Jamie. I'm not the most comfortable getting my picture taken, but Jamie will guide you for every photo to make sure they turn out great. I highly recommend her for your wedding.

Jamie was very professional but also friendly throughout the entire planning process, even despite the huge personal loss of her husband.
She remained very organized. Her pictures...
are GORGEOUS and even brought me to tears at times. She was very respectful of our wishes and worked with our large wedding party very well.

fessional and organized. I completely trusted her to do a wonderful job and she went above and beyond. I did not have to worry about a thing when it came to the photography. Jamie is a true artist and was able to capture unique shots, knowing how to make us look our best. All of our friends and family raved over our photos and said they were absolutely gorgeous. We loved our experience with Jamie and look forward to working with her in the future. We highly recommend her to any of our friends or family.
Jamie is a wonderful photographer and artist. She made us feel relaxed and we have gorgeous shots from our wedding and engagement sessions.
Jamie was perfect to work with and really listened to everything we wanted. I admit that I'm a bit of a control freak thanks to my job, but Jamie took everything in stride and mad...
e both our engagement session and our wedding day so enjoyable. She was never pushy or bossy and didn't make us feel guilty for being a tad bit late as I've seen with other photographers. Her vision is awesome and I love how we get the full DVD of photos to do with what we want. I'd recommend Jamie to anyone and can't wait to use her in the future for family photos.
Love Jamie. Very friendly and works with you to see your vision for the day. We did our engagement photos and wedding photos with her. I suggest having them done by the same person...
to get to know them and their style so if you want to make adjustments before the wedding you can. She's very friendly and always there to help work with you!

dable price was challenging. I searched and searched until I found Jamie. She was just right at our price range. I am SO glad that we found Jamie!! She had the right style we were looking for and she has such a great eye! She was super helpful with suggestions on the timeline and the photos to take. Jamie was so easy to work with and I felt comfortable having her with us - she was truly the best!
Jamie was the photographer for our January wedding and was both professional and fun to work with. She captured everything about our day in beautiful photographs. Jamie was great a...
bout answering all of our questions and getting pictures up for us to see right away. I only wish I knew more people in the area who are looking for a photographer so I could recommend her more!
While we REALLY wanted Jamie to photograph our wedding, she was already booked and I had to "settle" for Boudoir photos. I couldn't be happier that I had her do them! I'm a shy per...
son and didn't think I would be able to be photographed in that way. She made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and proud of my body. Jamie seems to be a perfectionist that takes pride in her work and wants every picture to be perfect. She takes her time, has great ideas, and takes any ideas you might have and makes them happen. She was attentive to my shyness and gave me privacy in preparing for each photo. My photos were classy, tasteful, and my fiance LOVED them! She is enthusiastic, professional, and awesome at her job. I would highly recommend her for ALL of your photography needs.
Jamie was our wedding photographer on 12/17/12. Your wedding day goes by so fast and at times can be very stressful. Jamie had a step by step timeline on where everybody needed t...
o be, which was perfect! She was there from the very beginning to the end! The picture quality is amazing. The angles she captured were perfect! She truly is spectacular! We are even going to hire her for our maternity pictures! We could not have picked a better photographer!
Jamie was my wedding photographer on 11/5, and she did an amazing job! My mom commented on how she managed to be positioned to get the best pics, like during the cake cutting, fir...
st dance, etc, without getting in the way of other guests watching. She is very willing to take your ideas for pictures, and the turn-around time was incredible! She had 70 of our pictures up on facebook the next weekend, I couldn't believe it! One other thing I think is awesome is that you always get the copyrights, so you can make pictures at target or books on shutterfly, etc, without having to pay the photographer each time, something to definitely watch out for when looking into wedding photographers! You'd hate to have to pay $10 every time someone sees one of your professional pics they want a 4x6 of.
As amazing as your wedding day is, it's over before you know it and the pictures are all that's left to commemorate the months of planning and prepping. Thus, pictures are pretty d...
arn important. Jamie didn't let us down. Neither my husband or I are very photogenic so we were nervous to have pictures snapped of us all day. Jamie shocked us with how great everything looks. On top of that, she's very budget friendly. No other photographers compared in cost. Jamie also dealt well with crazy curve balls thrown at us when our wedding timeline changed without anyone's knowledge and threw everything off! Great photographer!
Jason and I consider ourselves very blessed to have been able to have Jamie as our engagement and wedding photographer. Not only was she our photographer, but she also designed a ...
custom monogram that was used for several aspects including our aisle runner that is now framed in our bedroom as a forever keepsake. Her creativity and professionalism cannot be spoken of enough. Her photos showcase her talent, but cannot fully envelope who she is as a person and businesswoman, which is truly remarkable.
Jason and Jamie Taylor
We hired Jamie Vester to do our wedding on July 17th. Everything turned out amazing. She took a TON of pictures and made some a couple amazing photo books for us to remember the ...
day. She is very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married.
