Rebecca G. Sent on 11/28/2021Kimie 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. -

Omg you have to hire Kimie.
From the first time I saw Kimie’s work I knew she had to be my photographer for my wedding day!!
She nailed the look Keisha and I were going for. She made sure we got all the pictures we wanted.
She is so personable and makes you feel like a runway model. Did you see our pictures!?!?!!!! They are flawless. Every shot is amazing and captures our wedding day in the very best way. -

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 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! -

M Sent on 11/18/2020Fantastic 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. -

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 😀. -

Imani O. Sent on 10/16/2019Amazing 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. -

Kirsten M. Sent on 10/07/2019Breathtaking 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! -

Andrea Sent on 12/19/2019IYQ, 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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ -
Shana Sent on 07/24/2018Kimmie 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!

Alyssa Sent on 11/21/2017Kimie is absolutely amazing. The thing I wanted most from my wedding was just one or two fantastic pictures. Instead, I have a whole album full. She captured our day beautifully and we are so grateful for her talent and expertise!
