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.

Jaimi did our engagement and wedding pictures this June out of state in Washington and we adored her. We are obsessed with our pictures and are so thankful for the outstanding job she did. We were nervous for our wedding but she provided us with so much direction, laughter, and wisdom that the day turned out beyond special. Her sense of humor put us at ease and made our pictures look natural and unposed.

Jaimi did our engagement pictures for us last month and they turned out better than I could have ever imagined! She made the whole experience so much fun, and had us laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole time. We have her booked for our Wedding next June as well. She is traveling all the way to Washington State for us and I could not be more excited. It is such a reassuring feeling to know you have the best photographer ready to capture the biggest day of your life. I know the pictures she will take on that day will be nothing short of perfect, and I am so excited to have someone there with us who can make us enjoy ourselves the entire time pictures are being taken. With all of the stress that comes along with wedding planning, it is so nice to know that you have a photographer who is ready to go above and beyond to make sure you get the perfect pictures. I would definitely recommend her to everyone who is looking for a photographer!

I was referred to Jaimi and she is a phenomenal photographer! She did our wedding at the Sirata Beach Resort and she did just a stunning, amazing job. The photos are not only beautiful, but extremely creative. Jaimi was funny, professional, patient and just a true artist. She responded to all my questions right away. She provided suggestions and even created a timeline for me for the day of. Also she had sent us our online gallery within 4 weeks!!! I was so shocked that they were done so quickly and they are amazing! We were so blessed to have met Jaimi and will continue to recommend her & use her for other photography needs.

We had Jaimi and Lucy photograph our beach wedding and they were spectacular! Jaimi had previously shot our engagement photos and they were beautiful. She has a way of making you feel 100% comfortable and at ease. She is a true artist and you can see that by just looking at her photos. This isn't just a job to her, it's a passion and you can tell she enjoys every minute of it. I could not be happier with how beautiful our wedding photos are turning out. Jaimi, you're amazing and I will forever be grateful for everything you've done. Thank you!

Essentia Photography was the best choice we made with our wedding day. We decided to elope. We ran away to the beach for the weekend, without any kids. She met us at our room that we had booked at a resort. We did a session of 'before' pictures as a couple, around the resort, with some of the natural settings there. She caught some amazing shots, we all laughed and had a great time doing the photos, she really surpassed my expectations! We then went down to the beach where we had our private ceremony, and again, she caught some awesome pictures, that will last us a lifetime. I will never forget one of the best days of my life, thanks to her!! I have recommended several family members and friends to her, and have used her since our wedding day to capture more important memories for our family!

We were so fortunate to be able to have Essentia Photography to photograph our wedding. While Jaimi wasn't able to be our photographer for the day, she assured me that two of her assistants would go a great job. I was a little uneasy at first since I hadn't seen any of there work, but I took a chance and booked them anyways. Jaimi walked me through every step (including things I never though about) leading up to the wedding day and helped me feel comfortable with everything we were planning. My husband, family, and I were very pleased with how professional Lucy and Marilyn were throughout the evening. They were so pleasant and were attentive to their work during the event. Jaimi did a wonderful job with the final photos and was able to give them that special feeling I was hoping they would have.

I remember contacting Jaimi with Essentia like it was yesterday. My wife and I knew that there may already be a hard time finding a photographer since I completely forgot until 2 weeks before our wedding, and because it was an LGBT ceremony. Weddings were not actually a specialty of hers but she was interested. We had a very small ceremony and somehow I was able to convince her enough to take a chance and to challenge herself. She did an absolutely amazing job. My wife and I will celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary this coming June and still get rave reviews on our Wedding Day photography. Jaimi has done exceptionally well as a photographer over the years. She is willing to do the photography for any couple out there. And trust me, she will do absolutely amazing job!

Jaimi and her team at Essentia Special Moments Photography were hands down the best vendor at our wedding. Their professionalism, time management and genuine interest in our wedding and what we wanted was incredible. She made our special day easy and stress free. They were an absolutely pleasure to work with and I would recommend Jaimi to anyone.

I wish I could give Essentia Photography more than 5 stars! They have given us the ability to relive our wedding day, time and time again, through our incredible pictures. Our photos are displayed all over our home and in our families homes. I am so thankful for Jaimi- not only for her beautiful work, but for meeting a wonderful friend. Jaimi was more than just our photographer. She went above and beyond her "job description" and was there for me everyday to guide me through the wedding planning process. She is kind, loyal, honest, and a truly talented professional! She was recommended to one of my bridesmaids, who also hired Jaimi and had an incredible experience. We will certainly use her in the future for any of our photography needs!

Wow! where do I start ? Just to be brief, Jaimi was absolutely amazing and very professional. I knew from the start I wanted her for my special day just by her work alone. When It came to my wedding day she made me feel at ease and stress free. She has such a great personality and willing to do all she can to keep her bride from worrying. When me and my husband saw our pictures, words couldn't even express how happy we were with them. She captured all of our great moments from beginning to the end. If you are looking for someone who is hard working and is willing to cater to your needs and ideas for your special day, I highly recommend Jaimi ! I wouldn't have went with anyone else.

Jaimi did an amazing job photographing my wedding! She caught so many special moments, and we can't thank her enough. The pictures all look wonderful, and she's not afraid to take charge and critique the way you're standing/sitting/smiling to make sure the picture is perfect. She had a lot of different ideas and was very reasonably priced. Not many photographer that I know of release all copyrights to you and she does! I would definitely choose her again for taking our photos!

Jaimi at Essentia Special moments is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! I was recommended to Jaimi by a friend in the Tampa area. Jaimi made my wedding experience so special. She worked with me on a daily basis during the planning part of my wedding, kept in close contact with the other vendors and made sure all my needs were met. Jaimi's services are very affordable and she does such an AMAZING JOB!!! Jaimi shot our engagement session and wedding day and we are so happy with the pictures. Jaimi brought two photographers with her to make sure she got every picture we requested during the day at the Don Cesar. She kept the the day running smoothly, keeping all the vendors in the loop and making sure everything was done and set for me, it made the day so stress free!!!! Jaimi even went to the Don Cesar a week or so before the wedding to get an idea for picture spots. Jaimi made my wedding day so special. She captured every special part of the day and more - I highly recommend her services.

Jaimi, is beyond amazing! She was a confident with all my crazy bride moments during planning, photographed our engagement pictures, and captured our wedding day. Not only did we love her and our pictures BUT our guests made comments about how amazing she presented herself at our ceremony and reception making them feel comfortable and at ease. She was welcoming and made me feel like a friend was photographing me while still maintaining complete professionalism.

Jaimi is amazing! From the moment I met her I knew I had chosen the right person to capture our special day. She's got such a great personality. We all laughed, joked and made me feel at ease. Our wedding was a small intimate wedding on the beach. Her eye for photography is such a gift. I didn't have to tell her what I was wanting as far as my portraits, she knew and they are GORGEOUS! I would totally recommend Jaimi!
