Kimie James is Fantastic
Kimie James is not only a talented photographer but a true artist. She captured the feeling and experience of the day of our wedding. She has an eye for translating the emotions of the day onto film. She was a breeze to work with and highly professional. I would and have recommended her to anyone looking for a photographer!Kimie James is not only a talented photographer but a true artist.

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.Having the best photographer we could find was the biggest need for our wedding.

Fantastic Videography
We used Kimmie for our wedding turned microwedding this past June (thank you corona) We were initially on the fence about wedding videography. However, having already been familiar with with her work due to my own research, I was further convinced when wedding planner also recommended her. I'm glad we took the plunge and she was very flexible and easy to work with and her videography turned out just as beautiful as her photography. I would highly recommend her and her team if you are looking for videography.We used Kimmie for our wedding turned microwedding this past June (thank you corona) We were initially on the fence about wedding videography.

When your photographer becomes the maid of honor
Kimie is a great photographer that specializes in capturing the magic of the moment. Beside her great eye, she makes you feel like you are royalty on your special day. We had a small wedding due to COVID and she made my Bride feel that she had a photographer and a maid of honor all in one 😀.Kimie is a great photographer that specializes in capturing the magic of the moment.

IYQ, we love you!
We feel blessed that we found Kimie at a wedding show. After meeting her we didn’t look for any other photographer. We didn’t need to. Neither my partner or I enjoy having our picture taken, but we knew we would want our magical day captured. Kimie had great wedding advice in general to offer us and when it comes to photography she exceeded our expectations. We felt entirely comfortable with her from day one. We were going to skip an engagement shoot but Kimie said it would give us all a chance to get familiar with working together and she was right. It also got us really excited for the big day. She says all the right things to help you relax, moves quickly and will find the perfect moments to capture. She made us look great but captured all the emotions of the big day!!! She was an absolute professional, knows the business and is a blast to be around. We adore her, as a great student person and a photographer. Every photographer she brought on to help was a delight to work with as well. Hands down, the best — and everyone who sees our wedding photos says it too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️We feel blessed that we found Kimie at a wedding show.

Amazing photographer
Kimie was the most amazing photographer we could have hired for our day. Everyone felt comfortable with Kimie, especially those of us who are unused to being in front of the camera. She is wonderful to work with, has an amazing energy, and we could not have asked for a better experience. The photos both for our engagement shoot and for our wedding were spectacular. We had trouble choosing favorites to print because they were all so gorgeous.Kimie was the most amazing photographer we could have hired for our day.

Breathtaking photos that last a lifetime!
Kimie was phenomenal to work with. We had planned our wedding in under a month and were lucky enough to have her as our photographer through Waters Edge RVA. She made me feel gorgeous and comfortable in my own skin. The photos she took were magical and captured the sweetest moments with our closest friends and family. I never could have imagined them any more beautiful. She went above and beyond to ensure we had flattering yet romantic memories to look back on. My entire family couldn’t stop raving about how she made everyone feel included by capturing candids of them. She also helped make my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. There wasn’t a single moment she missed out on. She had previews available for us the next day, and gosh were they beautiful. We’re so incredibly grateful for having her capture our most precious day! We couldn’t recommend her enough!Kimie was phenomenal to work with.

The Best and Easiest Wedding Decision I Made!
Kimie is an absolute dream to work with. She made my husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and gave us perfect guidance so that our photos turned out amazing!
Not only was her photography incredible, but she was also fun to hang out with on our wedding day! You spend your entire wedding day with your photographer so it's really important that it's someone that you enjoy being around on the most important day of your life.
Kimie captured such special moments. Moments that I didn't even notice during the wedding, like my best friend wiping happy tears from my daughter's eyes and the expression on my mother-in-laws face after we were married.
Kimie was also VERY quick to get photos to us. The day after our wedding she sent me a handful of photos that I used to share the news of our marriage on social media. It was really nice to have professional photos to share. It was followed by a preview gallery and our full wedding gallery just a few weeks after our wedding.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Kimie. She is a wedding photography goddess!Kimie is an absolute dream to work with. She made my husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and gave us perfect guidance so that our photos turned out amazing!

Kimie of IYQ Photography was an absolute gem to work with. She got every shot we could think of and we never felt like she was hindering what we were doing while we enjoyed our wedding day. She was incredibly responsive and helpful pre-wedding and on the day of. I did not ever get around to filling out the "shots wanted" list, and she still managed to get every shot. Looking back over the last 4 years since our wedding, I am still in love with so many of her photos, the gorgeous shots she got, and especially now, getting to see my late grandmother's smiling face as she embraced my mom on my wedding day. There were photos that she captured that I'm fairly certain she was hanging from the rafters to get. I never once felt that she was pressed for time. The whole day with her felt relaxed, like I had an old friend close by to document the whole day. I have and will continue to recommend Kimie to everyone I know getting married, or even those that want life shoots like maternity, engagement, family photos, and even doggie portraits. You'll kick yourself later if you don't book Kimie for your next event.Kimie of IYQ Photography was an absolute gem to work with.

Finding IYQ was music to our ears. My husband and I like most couples on a budget were looking for great quality at a price that would not leave us hurting. Weddings can be very expensive however capturing the moments to me are the most important part!!
Our wedding was in NY. Kimmie commuted from Virgina to NY the day before and found all the picture perfect locations. She was soooo friendly and professional to us and our family. I can truley say I am a picky detail oriented person and I feel like every moment of our special day was captured from beginning to end and all the special caught off guard moments in between.
Our requests were listened to and I appreciate that so much. We asked to have a lot of bride and groom candids even if we had to literally be pulled away. And that's just what was done. At a moment during the reception we snuck away and took so many beautiful mushy moments as husband and wife!!
Ok I feel like I'm running on and on but she's honestly that great!!
Finally the pictures themselves. We were given sneak peaks via social network (we were asked for approval befor doing so). We received our pictures within a few weeks!! We have been married 2 and a half years and we are still recieving compliments on our gorgeous pictures!!!

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.

An absolute joy to work with!!
Kimie is truly the best! As a camera shy bride she made me feel beautiful and at ease. We had a small wedding and she did an amazing job of capturing the love, joy, and close relationships that we had with our guests. We had so much fun working with her and were also so impressed on how quickly she made a preview available. We could not recommend her enough!Kimie is truly the best!

We have seen the work that IYQ does in the past, and we knew we were in for a treat, but even that didn't do full Justice to how truly amazing she is! From the professionalism, to making everyone so absolutely comfortable. She brought out the joy, happiness, and everything inbetween on pur special day, which she is definitely the reason we will never forget 08/21/2021. IYQ Photography is the best and there is nobody better!!!

Amazing last minute photographer!
Kimmie was our photographer for our tiny wedding that was planned super fast after the new COVID restrictions. I had not even talked with her or met her before my wedding day, and she made it feel like she had been planning to be our photographer since the beginning! I was set on having a 4pm winter wedding (hello sunset!!!) but did not even think about how fast the sun would set. Kimmie made sure that we had all of our portraits done with just enough light and then got some AMAZING sunset photos of just me and my new husband! We are not very photogenic people.....at all.... and definitely thought we would be so uncomfortable and not look right.. but Kimmie made us look like a magazine! She also got our photos back to us in less than a week which was mind blowing to me. She blended into our reception and got some great candids. My favorites were the dances, as she was able to capture the feelings we had with each other and with our parents. I would recommend her to anyone!Kimmie was our photographer for our tiny wedding that was planned super fast after the new COVID restrictions.

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.Kimie James.

Perfect in every way! Jaw-dropping photos we'll cherish forever
Kimie, in a word, is AMAZING. We don’t think we could have fathomed having such incredible photos from our wedding day. Kimie’s ability to capture the beauty in every person, scene and lighting is unparalleled. We spent a long time looking for just the right photographer. Our wedding started outside and ended inside so lighting was particularly important to us; we didn’t want the night shots to be washed out and we’d seen that a lot in other portfolios. But Kimie is truly skilled here. We had a highly diverse group of guests, and every single one was captured so beautifully in varied lighting! We don’t know how she caught so many priceless moments and expressions — it really is unbelievable!!
Kimie’s editing is also fantastic. One of our favorite photos evidently had a truck in the background, and you’d never know it!
Our engagement shoot was a great way to get to know one another - and those photos were a great way to get our guests excited about the big day.
On wedding day, Kimie is patient and focused — she’s determined to make sure she captures the shots she knows you really want.
We really appreciated Kimie’s attention to detail, and communication day-of, especially with so many people at our wedding. Our photos are jaw-dropping and make us so proud. Hire Kimie right away — she is a true artist and professional….you will be so grateful!!Kimie, in a word, is AMAZING. We don’t think we could have fathomed having such incredible photos from our wedding day. Kimie’s ability to capture the beauty in every person, scene and lighting is unparalleled. We spent a long time looking for just the right photographer. Our wedding started outside and ended inside so lighting was particularly important to us; we didn’t want the night shots to be washed out and we’d seen that a lot in other portfolios.

Absolutely Amazing!
Kimie is a goddess. I want to get married all over just so she can take more pictures! Having her as a member of our wedding dream team was simply that—a dream. She has an eye for beautiful shots, and a passion for (literally) capturing the moments that would otherwise be fleeting. She made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of her camera, and showed great skill in capturing both candid shots (for my husband) and portrait shots (for me), working with natural light and shooting at night. She was incredibly accommodating and responsive throughout the entire planning process and was super helpful in helping us map out the pictures we wanted before the wedding, during the ceremony, and throughout the reception.
When the bouquets and boutonnieres were delivered to the wedding venue and not the getting-ready suites, she quietly contacted our florist to resolve the situation before we even knew there was an issue. And despite running late on hair and makeup, she tweaked the photography schedule so I could still get the pictures I wanted without feeling flustered or rushed. This is her gift: providing professional service with the personal touch. It’s like getting pictures taken by a really awesome, super talented friend.
There is no debate: Kimie is a master in the industry, a Richmond icon, and an absolute gem to work with. She is a brilliant photographer and a wonderful human being. She embedded and invested herself in every aspect of our special day and produced the most beautiful photos—photos as loving, fun, and magical as the day itself.

Highlight Video Heaven
One of our closest friends got married about 4 months before we did and mentioned how much they regret not getting video footage of the ceremony, speeches and dancing. My husband and I were about our budget since we were paying for two weddings (one traditional and one normal) but really wanted to remember our special day. We met Kimie through our photographer and she listened to our concerns, worked with us and helped us with a timeline. I have seen some highlight videos in the past but the one she put together for us bought together all the highlights from our day, things we missed and even bought some emotion to my husband. It was beautiful and funny at the same time. This was the best money we spent to relive our wedding day. It is amazing how short of a time we spent with Kimie but she was able to pick up on a ll the things we felt were important. If we had to do it all over again, she'd be one of our first calls to book!One of our closest friends got married about 4 months before we did and mentioned how much they regret not getting video footage of the ceremony, speeches and dancing.

Kimmie James was amazing! My husband planned a surprise wedding ceremony for me since we were married originally in a Justice of the Peace ceremony 9 years ago. Imagine my surprise when my blindfold was removed and I am staring at Kimmie taking pictures of me, then see the entire wedding party standing at the altar as my husband runs up the aisle! Kimmie managed to capture every magical part of that evening...including the shock and awe on my face as I realized what was happening. I can't come close to describing how much her beautiful photos bring that moment back every time I see the photos she took...many when we weren't even aware she was there! She captured my husband and I, as well as our family, in the intimate moments where we were celebrating and sharing our love. If you want beautiful photos of any live event, Kimmie is the person you call!Kimmie James was amazing!

Kimie James did my wedding videography, and boy was she amazing! I was married Saturday June 2 and have already gotten my video! I have watched it probably 20 times already and cry each time. She captured the day perfectly and included all of the special touches and moments I requested. During the day I was a ball of nerves, but Kimie was calm as a cucumber and made me feel at ease. She is seriously worth every penny, and I cannot thank her enough!Kimie James did my wedding videography, and boy was she amazing! I was married Saturday June 2 and have already gotten my video!

Kimie is an amazing photographer. At the beginning of wedding planning, it was difficult to sell my husband on the idea of budgeting for an amazing photographer like Kimie. However, after seeing the photos from our engagement shoot, my husband had completely changed his opinion and absolutely loved them! Kimie was incredibly easy to work with from beginning to end. She is very easy-going, and she walked us through each shoot to make sure we ended up with stunning photos. All our pictures from the engagement shoot and the wedding came back very quickly. Kimie even gave us a (HUGE) preview of our wedding photos within a few days after the wedding, which the guests especially loved since we had an unplugged ceremony. Our final wedding photos were absolutely beautiful! I cannot say enough about Kimie and her work, and we hope to work with her again in the future! Definitely book IYQ Photography!
