Jaimie is everything you are looking for and more

Jaimie is an absolute legend and incredible photographer who made me (someone who was SUPER anxious about looking okay in the photos and being on the other side of the camera) feel completely at ease and like I could just relax and enjoy my day and be present in the moment. Jaimie is very thorough, responsive, kind, and incredibly talented. She has a way of making you feel completely at ease in front of the camera while paying attention to and fixing any details to make your photos absolutely stunning. I could sing her praises for pages and pages but seriously, if you are looking for a photographer who will help you through the wedding process, work to understand the vision you want for your day, make the day fun and full of joy, be flexible and eager to help, Jam is the only way to go. We had forgotten a wedding party member's cloak for photos and Jaimie had parked near our car in the ramp and offered to get the cloak for us when she went to go meet us at the first location. She knew the best spots to go take photos and I cannot wait to see our full gallery. The sneak peek we got had me so damn excited to see everything. Thank you Jam for everything and just being the calm in the storm and guiding us through that crazy day. Much love to you 💙

From the bride

I hired Jaimie to photograph my microwedding in Ellicottville on 9/27/25 after seeing her portfolio on Instagram. My wedding was almost totally DIY, and I had 30 guests. Jaimie and I spoke several times over the course of my wedding planning, and not only did she help me plan photo locations/shotlists, but she truly acted as my unofficial wedding coordinator of her own volition. I cannot stress enough that I couldn't have pulled off such a perfect wedding without Jaimie having been a part of it.

Jaimie just sent me sneak peek photos of my day, and I was floored. My father called her extremely talented, my best friends told me they couldn't have imagined better photos in their heads, and my husband says she alleviated all of his concerns on the day by taking charge and helping us to pose for the most romantic shots I've ever seen.

Every guest loved her, and I couldn't ask for a more professional and spectacular photographer for capturing the best day of my life. I am 100% going to be hiring her for all of my future professional photoshoots. Thank you Jaimie for going above and beyond to ensure my day was so special.

Amazingly talented and funny!

Jaimie was our photographer for our engagement shoot and editor of our October wedding at the Botanical Gardens. Upon meeting her, Jaimie was excited about our wedding due to her personal experience with her wedding at the gardens and mutual interests. She maintained great communication and worked with us to personalize her wedding package to meet our needs and budget. She was fantastic and answered all the questions and concerns we had.

For our engagement shoot, Jaimie made sure we were comfortable in front of the camera and remained engaged in conversation. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend. The photos were edited and sent to us quickly and were beyond our expectations.

Jaimie, unfortunately, could no longer work the day of our wedding as a close friend/family member scheduled their wedding for the same day as ours. These things happen and though I was disappointed, she was quick to communicate this and discussed several options we could take. We were so pleased with her up to that point that we decided to continue working with her as the editor and she ensured that we were both comfortable in our decision to continue working with her and her top choice of photographer.

She introduced us to Marlee, another photographer that often works together with her as her second shooter. Marlee was really sweet and listened to our wants and needs for the wedding, and everyone who came across her at the wedding had nothing but good things to say. Marlee had an excellent eye for candid shots (which were important to us) and did an amazing job of capturing the whole event!

Jaimie followed-up with us within a day or two after the wedding to comment on how beautiful it looked and also gave us a preview of our photos. Again, we were stunned and waited with anticipation for our full wedding album. The photos were edited amazingly quickly and were wonderful.

Throughout the entire process, we felt like both Jaimie and Marlee had a good sense of us as people and understood our humor, and were able to capture these aspects in the photographs. So all this is to say that Jaimie and Marlee were an absolute pleasure to work with and exceeded our expectations in the best ways. I would love the opportunity to work with them again and have been recommending them to anyone who will listen.

10/10 recommend

Jaimie made our wedding day so special. During the planning process she made everything easy, coming up with a schedule for photos and even telling us what to bring. She’s a true professional and if anything went wrong during the day she didn’t let it show. We felt so comfortable with her after our engagement photos and wouldn’t want anyone else to capture our wedding day. The sneak peaks are absolutely stunning and we can’t wait for the whole album. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Truly can’t say enough good things.

Organized, upbeat and artistic.

Working with Jaimie was smooth sailing from the initial meet. She was great with communication leading up to the big day, sending us timelines/tips and checking in with us over a long engagement. In our final meeting she got an idea of what we were looking for photo wise and delivered! The wedding day flew by but Jaimie made sure to check everything and every photo off our list, all while making it a fun, casual atmosphere. The pictures were back in a shorter timeframe than promised and were absolutely beautiful. You can't go wrong working with Jaimie!

Second easiest YES!

Jaimie has been such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. Her communication was consistent throughout the whole 2+ years we had been working together. She took the time to learn about our style, listen to our requests and offer suggestions along the way. Frequent check-ins and timely answers to any question. Galleries for all photography (engagement and wedding) were delivered very timely manner which caught us by surprise! Each moment of our day was captured beautifully and choosing the Zion photography package was perfect for us! We really enjoyed having both shooters and all of the add ons it came with (engagement session, photo book) and it provided the option to add on time but we felt 8 hours was enough! We are truly grateful to have been blessed with Jaimie's talent and that we have these photos for the rest of our lives to reminisce on our special day. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody!

The best around

When I was looking for a wedding photographer, I spoke to a lot of different vendors, and I just didn't click with them at all. However, Jaimie was super kind, and got back to me super quick. She genuinely cared about what I wanted and needed from her. She was there for every question and every step of the wedding. She showed up on time, and even stayed a little late to get the perfect photos. The photos that she took were indeed perfect, they captured our happiness and our feels in the moments. They will forever be one of my favorite thing about the wedding.

Would Choose Over and Over Again

We hired Jaimie after meeting with a few different local photographers, and we liked her vibe from the first meeting we had with her. We loved her artistic style and her focus on the candid, little moments throughout the day. She has this way about her of including little touches that really stand out — in her photography, in her consultations, even in her emails. It really makes you feel valued as a client. From day one, it was important to us that our photographer specialized primarily in wedding photography, so that we would know for sure we were in good hands. While we definitely spent the most money on photography out of everything in our very small-budget, mostly DIY wedding, it was well worth it to us. Photography was highest on our list of priorities because we will have the photos forever, even as our memories of everything else fade. After spending our engagement and wedding sessions with Jaimie, our opinion did not change and we would make the same choice again. We got to feel really comfortable around her (especially since I also hired her for a boudoir shoot to surprise my husband as a wedding gift), and even though neither of us love having our photo taken, we truly feel like she helped us look and feel our best. I have previously dealt with an eating disorder and am still in recovery from that — which I let Jaimie know about before our boudoir shoot — but I left each of our sessions feeling so happy and confident. Whether she realized it or not, I also noticed that Jaimie swiftly shut down a negative comment from a family member during my wedding, which was so kind and meant so much to me. Girls, you can trust Jaimie with your life, seriously. EVERYONE has complimented our photos, even my photographer dad who has really strong opinions, and my frugal mom who advised us not to hire a photographer at all. Anyone who knows my parents will know that getting their stamp of approval from a vendor means that they did a FANTASTIC job. I would be remiss not to mention how satisfied we were with the turnaround times and excellent communication with Jaimie. She provided timely updates during the months leading up to our wedding, including things that we should be preparing, ideas we should be considering, etc. so that everything ran smoothly on the day of. On the morning after our wedding day, she had already sent us several preview photos, which were so fun to look through while we were still in our giddy wedding mood. Her time estimates for delivering our engagement and wedding photos were closely adhered to and usually even surpassed, even when I completely forgot to press “send” on the email regarding our wedding album… smh. She also sent us the most thoughtful and sweet Christmas gift with our wedding photos! With Jaimie you really get the feeling that your wedding, and even your relationship with your spouse in general, is important to her. I would recommend Jaimie to EVERYONE. She is so trustworthy, talented, professional, and kind. In no small part because of her, I wish I could go back and relive my wedding day over and over again.

Wedding photography review

Hiring Jaimie as our wedding photographer was the best decision! She made the planning process so much easier by helping us to organize our timeline and vision for our photos. She also put us at ease and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and on the big day. Our photos turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. I highly recommend Jaimie to capture your big day.

Incredible!

Jaimie was a literal dream to work with. From the second we had our initial meeting I knew that she was the one to capture our special moments on our big day. She worked with us from the start picking out unique locations and ideas for the engagement shoot and was so fun the day of. The pictures of course came out incredible and we could not wait to have her with us at our wedding. The day of the wedding she was organized and kept things moving and her second shooter was able to capture the candid moments that I really wanted. They posted and sent sneak peaks within two days and were super quick in the turnaround time. Every single picture is amazing and it fits our style and vibe perfectly. I really enjoyed all of the candid pictures that were taken and can't wait to give the pictures to our family and friends.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
