Highly recommend!

Jaimi and her husband are an incredible team! Planning a wedding during COVID was less than ideal, but she worked with us every step of the way. Her ability to provide direction for my husband and I while having loads of fun helped make our photos turn out incredible. Jaimi went above and beyond leading up to our wedding day, especially the day of. I highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!

Where to begin! Jaimi is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with! She is truly a beautiful and kind soul who creates wonderful connections with her clients. This allows her to capture the true essence of who her clients are on camera. She makes you feel so comfortable and is always extremely professional, but also knows how to have fun!

Our personal experience with Jaimi was for our wedding, however I know she brings the same talent and passion into her recently launched portrait photography brand! I can't tell you how much she means to us for helping to make the most exciting day of our lives so special.

Picking a photographer for our wedding was one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish. This is because we were specifically seeking someone who was warm, compassionate, and cared about the happiness of our big day as much as we did. The moment we talked to her - we knew she was the one we had been looking for! She told us that her job was to capture the love and excitement that was naturally unfolding between us, not to turn our wedding day into a posed photoshoot. She wanted to capture who we truly are and the exciting experiences that we were having.

Our wedding day went better than we could have ever expected, and we attribute a huge part of this success to Jaimi. I let my nerves get the best of me leading up to the ceremony, and Jaimi was right there to calm me down and comfort me. That personal touch will always mean so much to me. During the wedding she was the perfect mix of timely, direct, upbeat, and fun. So many of our family and friends kept telling us how awesome she was!

When we received our pictures back, they took our breath away. She captured all of the moments that mean the most to us so that we can re live this amazing day any time we want. We are forever grateful to her for beautifully capturing these most special moments of our life.

There should be a 10 star rating! She is a true gem. She was there from day one of us booking her helping me with ANYTHING she could while also taking the most AMAZING pictures.
She made our wedding timeline and everything couldn't have gone smoother and stress free. Just the few teasers she has sent me have been PERFECT and I can't wait to see the rest! She is a fabulous photographer and an even better person and I can't wait to have her take more pictures in the future!

Jaimi was not only an AMAZING photographer for us, she was absolutely integral to making our wedding such a successful, smooth and memorable event . We connected with Jaimi through a friend who had used her for a wedding a few months prior. From our first meeting we loved her enthusiasm and booked her right away to capture our wedding and engagement photos. I could go on and on about how INCREDIBLE our photos came out -- we actually look like we are right out of a bridal magazine. Jaimi captured so many beautiful moments in such a magical way -- we cannot wait to put everything together in albums! I could also go on and on about how much fun Jaimi is to work with and how professional she is -- quick response time, incredibly organized, always one step ahead of us. We worked with many vendors that exceeded our expectations for the wedding, but none quite as much as Jaimi and her team did. She helped to plan our timeline in a way that not only captured everything we wanted in the day, but worked around things we hadn't considered (like that the sun set in the middle of when we wanted to do outdoor formals). She provided emotional support in meetings and correspondences leading up to the wedding but mostly on the day of when I was an emotionally excited trainwreck. Jaimi kept the wedding day on time, captured all the photos we asked her to (even difficult group family photos), made sure we took time to ourselves to soak in the day (and eat our dinner!), helped provide support when my mom and aunt were struggling with my bustle, and even went out of her way to show us how to cut the cake (who knew there was a special way to do it!). Even though I have a background in large-scale event planning, I truly believe we could not have had such a seamless wedding without Jaimi's input. Seriously, this lady know her wedding stuff!! Even more than that, Jaimi has become a great friend. We can't wait to use her services in the future for family portraits. We highly recommend her!!

Essentia Photography.....where do I begin?! From start to finish Jaimi went above and beyond all of our expectations. Planning a wedding can get stressful at times and Jaimi helped out tremendously. She recommended some wonderful vendors, she made the engagement session so much fun and gave us gorgeous pictures, and she created a timeline for the day of so we wouldn't have to worry about a thing. Our wedding day couldn't have been captured more beautifully. Jaimi and her team did such a wonderful job. We absolutely LOVE our photos and will cherish them forever. Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have had Jaimi and her team photograph our special day. I highly recommend Essentia Photography!

Jaimi was great. She helped the whole time with all my questions while I was planning the wedding. She did an itinerary for the wedding day to make sure we stay focused while shooting our pictures. I received my pictures back in a timely manner after the wedding. She was the best. She made a stressful day, less stressful.

Jaimi is amazing! She photographed my wedding for my husband and me. The entire process was so easy with her. We figured out a payment plan and she was so flexible with our needs. She was more than helpful with more than just photgraphy. Her personality is a breath of fresh air. She's always positive and happy and just makes you feel good. She is always fast on her responses back to you. During the wedding she made sure everyone kept the stress and problems away from me and made sure the day went the day and schedule I wanted. She became a friend that day and so much more than our photographer. Our pictures came out beautiful!! Couldn't have chosen a better photographer for our special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
