Tori R. Sent on 10/10/2022AMAZING and Worth Every Penny!
We just got married on 10/7/22 and Jamie and Bob made everything perfect!! When we met them during our engagement photo shoot I knew we were in for a treat! The photos were absolutely amazing it made me even more excited for our wedding day! They make the whole process a breeze, they even made a day of timeline! This made the day so much easier and took off some stress. From the moment we got to the venue on the wedding day Jamie and Bob took charge to make sure we got all of the photos and more that we could have dreamed of! All of our guests were raving about how professional and great they were, they even made a same day photo display on their iPad for guests to see during the reception!!! We will always recommend Northern Lights Photography whenever we can!! They made our fairytale come to life and we cannot wait to get back the rest of our photos!! Can’t thank you guys enough!! -

Amazing, Professional Photographers!
Working with Jamie, Bob, and Susan was such an amazing experience on our wedding day! All of them were extremely kind and professional and made sure our day ran smoothly. Each of them helped ensure that our day was as stress free as possible so we could truly be in the moment. The pictures they took were beautiful and they even had a slideshow set out on a table during our reception of what they were able to capture that day! They went above and beyond and my husband and I are looking forward to working with them in the future to capture more of our special moments! -

Cecile J. Sent on 07/25/2021Amazing people. Beautiful Photos!
My husband and I were extremely impressed with Jamie and her team! After one look at their expansive and beautiful online portfolio, I knew we needed to reach out to see if they were available for our wedding date. During our initial correspondence via email and after meeting Jamie and Bob for the first time (pre-pandemic) at a local coffee shop, I canceled every other meeting we had scheduled with other photographers. Her email response time was unlike any vendor I had encountered during my wedding planning process. And they came prepared to our meeting with a Wedding Photography Guide (that Jamie designed herself), sample portfolio albums, and the right answers to any question I could possibly think of!
During our engagement session, Jamie and Bob treated us like close friends as they walked us through the different poses and never became frustrated even though it was miserably hot. She provided sneak peaks of our shoot almost instantly and had our gallery ready within a week or so.
I used her Wedding Photography Guide religiously as I thought through our wedding day activities. Even though we were months out from our wedding, she quickly answered and provided much needed insight. A few weeks before the wedding we filled out her survey online with our must-have photos and all the details for our day. Soon after, she replied with a wedding timeline that tracked our movements down to the minute! Being detail-oriented myself, I was extremely pleased with her attention to each part of the day and that she had considered things I hadn't even thought of myself.
The day of our wedding, Jamie, Bob and their new assistant Susan arrived on time and jumped into action to keep us on schedule. We opted not to do a first look, but my husband and I still managed to get a ton of really great shots together throughout the day. The team even managed to coordinate photographs ahead of the ceremony on the same property without my husband or I seeing each other (even around corners from each other). They captured a ton of precious memories at our ceremony, our decorations, our guests throughout the night, and the "must-have" moments like our first dance, parent dances, and cake cutting. They weren't afraid to go off-road to capture perfect shots near swampy ponds or through the fields.
We received sneak peaks that night, a few additional posts on instagram a few days later, a full blog post about our wedding during our honeymoon, and our gallery (almost 1000 photos) to review while we waited to board our plane home! THEY WERE THAT FAST! A few weeks later we received a beautifully etched USB drive of our files in the mail. The quality blew my mind. They think of everything! I am currently still working with Jamie to design our wedding album, but I can't wait to see what she comes up with.
10/10!!! Amazing people to work with and so happy with the final product. We've been showing our photos off to friends and family for weeks!Northern Lights Photography by Jamie Howarth's reply:

Awesome Photographer and person!!!
Jamie and her husband Bob did an amazing job with everything! I can’t say enough nice things. I can’t imagine our day without them. They were so easy to work with and communicate with. They made us feel so comfortable and we now have tons and tons of beautiful pictures from our day. They captured all the moments we wanted and even more. I make sure to recommend them to anyone even reconsidering a photographer. You will not be disappoint! -

Sarah Sent on 05/29/2019MAGNIFICENT IN EVERY WAY! Just meet them once! You won't regret it!
What's in a name......... The Northern Lights are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere. Variations in color are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. Seen from the ground, it is truly a peaceful rendition of a violent storm.
The reason I wanted to start with this statement is because it is truly what happens (maybe not the gas part) but a collision of such energy, passion, and enthusiasm I truly cannot describe! The vision and colors are truly magical and the pictures speak for them self. I was truly in awe of how beautiful the pictures made me feel and to see my handsome husband in such a different light. They made our "storm" of what could have been a stressful and hectic wedding day just that much more peaceful!
Now to start from the beginning........
Bride here, was searching on Wedding Wire for a photographer, scrolled thru several but the story of their name Northern Lights and of Jamie's dad really caught my attention. We got married in Annapolis, MD and Jamie and Bob are from Pasadena so I gave it a shot. Jamie and I met in Annapolis at a Starbucks. We talked about wedding visions, colors, venue, etc. We learned that our favorite color, including my husband, is purple. We had an instant connection on many levels! She was a BOSS, much like myself, when it comes to the industry we are both in. We chatted some more and then she handed me the magazine and my mind was blown!!!! I had absolutely NO idea that all of those details, planning, timing, and preparing went into taking pictures at a wedding. But I am here to tell you they do SO MUCH more that just take pictures! Jamie and Bob are your right hand to guide you thru your day and make everything just that much easier. I can pretty much tell you after that I was SOLD! So we signed the dotted line chatted some more and then came the engagement photo shoot. This is when we collided on a whole different level. Donny, aka the husband, met Jamie and Bob for the first time and I am pretty sure he was just as mesmerized as I was with them. They truly are amazing people! The photo shoot was smooth and easy. They both have a way of giving you direction to achieve the perfect picture and they depend on each other for different things. Bob allows Jamie to take the lead but he is always there for a quick fix, to back her up, or to make sure you don't get stuck in the train tracks in your heels. He is the best! So the photo shoot was over and the hubby and I planned to have dinner after so we asked if Jamie and Bob would join us. And that is where it all began!
So to make a long story short we hit it off! And we were totally blessed to have found them and have them be with us during such an amazing time in our life.
So now comes the wedding day........ we had a brunch style wedding so the day started early. They were right on time if not a little early. Jamie and Bob took detail shots while I finished getting my hair and makeup done. We took twirling dress shots, MOB, and FOB first look shots, etc. They all captured every ounce of emotion of every moment of the day. Brides let me tell you, these pictures will be your memory! You will be in such a cloud of emotion and the day goes by so fast you will be forever grateful for the people that capture these moments for you! Jamie and Bob can do just that and more!
Now onto the venue........ whoops my Mom took the keys with her! MOB accidentally took the keys! EEK! So the BRIDE and FOB hopped into Jamie's White (fitting) Jeep and Bob got us to the church on time :) Yeah Bob!
So here comes the main event..... I will tell you that I don't think I really saw either one of them until after the ceremony. They blend in and are not in your face in any way shape or form, they are just there capturing every second, every person, every detail, and most importantly the joy and happiness of your special day.
We had a simple ceremony and then a reception with seated brunch after. All the pictures were perfect and I truly wouldn't change a thing. Jamie and I were on the same level of what pictures we wanted and where.
After the reception we went to the USNA Garden for some newly married shots with some greenery in the back ground. We twirled in my Cinderella dress with my shoes off in the grass and I just loved letting loose. Jamie makes you smile and laugh and you feel so comfortable with them.
The day ended and we said our goodbyes but I know that we will have many more adventures with our new found friends.
I will end my review by saying that if you are fortunate enough to have Jamie and Bob be your photographers for the most important day in your life you will NOT regret it! If I could give every Bride and Groom a gift it would be Jamie and Bob!
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! And here's to our next great adventure!

The best photographers!!!
I would recommend these two to anyone that needs a photographer. From the time we booked them to the day of the wedding they did everything to help us make our wedding fantastic. They set up a timeline for our wedding day helped us decide on pictures and also even helped us to get ready. They did everything they could to make our day go smooth. -

Ashley Sent on 03/20/2018Jamie was super quick at responding to my messages, she was most helpful to me the day of my wedding for anything at all I needed, she was very creative and focused, she remembered every detail from our conversations, and she was prompt with getting us our digital photos! We love all of our photos and can't choose a favorite! I would definitely use Jamie again for other events, and I highly recommend you use her for your wedding!

Sherri Sent on 12/29/2017I find Northern Lights Photography through a friend that held Northern Lights in high regards and they were right!
She responded immediately, even kinda helped me plan the wedding by ensuring I got the right permits for photos (I had no idea I needed to). She was very friendly and extremely flexible. I was doing this last minute so most communication was via email as I preferred and she was completely fine with that. I met her the day of the wedding and she was already taking photos and just completely on it. Oh did I mentioned very well priced! I wanted a small wedding and to not spend more on photos then my dress and that seemed hard until I found her. She was fairly priced and delivered more then I expected.
After the wedding I received the photos a few (or less I don't remember exactly) days later. Very fast turn around. Wrote a very sweet summary on her site that held the photos. Truely more then I expected.
She captured the pictures so well for a day I want to remember forever. This was one of the best purchases for my wedding as the photos help hold the memories.Northern Lights Photography by Jamie Howarth's reply:
You had so much love at your wedding and it was perfect! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture those special moments for you and your family! -
