Talented, Hardworking, Flexible!

Kimie is an incredibly talented and hard-working photographer. We chose Kimie because in her portfolio, we saw a variety and flexibility in styles, catered to the client. After our engagement shoots, we were more than sold. She perfectly captured what was important to us and kept the style we’d tried to convey to her (natural light, limited filtering, etc.). The flexibility in style and ability to capture the uniqueness of a relationship is what makes her such a skilled photographer, but what sets her apart is how hard she works. The day after our wedding, one of the first reflections we shared was “man Kimie works hard”. She was tireless, always willing to go the extra mile (by foot) to get another shot or capture another moment, and our gallery reflects that. Weddings happen fast, and I did not appreciate beforehand how important that energy and drive would be.
We have and will continue to recommend Kimie to our friends and family.

Kimie truly captured the magic of our day

Having the best photographer we could find was the biggest need for our wedding. With us putting so much love, time and effort into making our wedding day the best it could be, we knew we had to invest in someone who could not only see it, but capture it perfectly. Kimie sees what the untrained eye does not and brings it to life in her work. Each picture she takes is a pure work of art and we were truly blown away by her on our wedding day. As someone who usually runs away from the camera and has no idea what to do in front of them (except for being goofy!), Kimie directed us all in a way that was soft and encouraging, but also direct to keep us moving. She made sure she captured each shot we requested, and the impromptu shots were so precious. Thus far we have our sneak peek, and I cry with joy each time I look at them. I feel the love and joy in each picture. Kimie is a rare gem. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is also one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her joy and enthusiasm is infectious- I cannot recommend her enough.

Perfect photographer for a perfect day

Kimie James. Best. Ever. Not only does she put her heart into her work - as demonstrated by our wedding photos - but she was a remarkable human being and support system for this bride.

The pandemic made it necessary for my husband and I to change everything about our ceremony. These changes meant I did not have my wedding entourage to assist with pre-wedding preparation. Kimie went above and beyond being a photographer by jumping right in to help me be in the moment and enjoy one of the most special days of my life - all while capturing beautiful photos.

Her professionalism, optimism, and keen attention to detail and all things wedding made my husband and my day perfect! I smile looking at our photos not only because the day was special, but Kimie captured every single moment as though the day were her own. We will definitely be using her in the future.

As a wedding planner I am frequently asked who I would recommend and Kimie is always at the top of my list. She is a great photographer but she is also a vey kind lady who genuinely cares about your big day and creating photos you are proud to your friends and family.

Historic Leafwood Historic Leafwood Historic Weddings

IYQ Photography provides outstanding work. We asked owner, Kimmie James, to set up two styled shoots for Leafwood before we opened, and was not disappointed! The photographs were amazing, and captured our venue perfectly! In fact we used the photos in all of our marketing, and both shoots will be featured in Virginia Bride Magazine. She went above and beyond to make sure were received the photos we needed to showcase our venue. If you are looking for an exceptional wedding photographer that can think outside of the box, you will be thrilled with IYQ.

Working with Kimie is always a beautiful experience!! From start to finish she made sure my family and I felt comfortable and were able to bond so that our pictures truly captured the moment we were in. I love how sweet and gentle she was with our two year old son! He literally cannot stop talking about her and it blesses our hearts to know our entire family connects so well with her. And our photos always come out so beautifully!! We will continue to recommend her to all of our family, friends and clients!
