are you
dreaming of a day
Well then, you're in the right place.
MAGICAL?
I'm a documentary-style photographer based in Joshua Tree, CA + available for travel. I photograph intimate weddings and elopements in non-traditional places and spaces in Southern CA + The Midwest.
that's
Fucking
If the idea of traditional posed photos seems about as comfy as an itchy wool sweater, we should talk.
YOU DON'T WANT
You want to actually have the time of your life in the most picturesque, screensaver, post-card places on earth.
to TAKE SMILING PHOTOS
in pretty places
I'm an elopement photographer with a documentary-style, based in Southern CA + the Midwest. I’m Mama to Gigi. Cat person. Feminist. Houseplant collector. Metal head. Avid life-long thrifter. I dislike pants and Diet Culture. I believe that Love is Love and Black Lives Matter.
I’m an OG weird kid with a pretty good sense of humor. I’ve always been whatever the opposite of cool is, and not in the way that not cool is cool now. But I think when I’m 80 it’ll work in my favor and I’ll be like, super badass.
I really don’t follow trends and I don’t do slang or buzz words. I just say fuck a lot instead. Fuck is timeless. It never goes out of style. Kind of like a good black and white photo.
MEET
JAIMIE
(And Gigi!)
I believe that being open, honest, and vulnerable creates genuine connections — and that’s where trust comes from. Without that trust and vulnerability, there’s no way to truly capture your story in an honest and real way.
Love is Love, Black Lives Matter, Fuck the Patriarchy and Fuck Diet Culture.
I will always fight for the rights of marginalized folks.
is simple
my
philosophy
My approach is all about uncovering those moments and letting them unfold naturally.
I use my emotional intelligence to read the room, knowing when to step back and when to offer gentle guidance.
Intentional planning allows you to be fully present on your wedding day, so your photos won’t just be poses in pretty places — they’ll capture you truly living in the moment, doing what you love, in the most awesome fucking places.
WEDDING DAY
with stories within stories.
every
is layered
-Alexandra + James
My husband and I were nervous to be in front of the camera and Jaimie not only made every moment of photos fun, but she brought out beauty we didn't know existed.
"From day one, she connected with me because she was so laid back. She made this process so easy for us. Jaimie was no stranger; she jumped right in and even helped me with my wedding gown and gave good tips like she was a part of the family! She was so friendly with everyone, which I liked that about her. Once our photos were ready, we were so pleased! Awesome quality and clarity that I am just in awe of it all!"
Jaimie is awesome!
- Dorothea + Vince
- Meg + Alex
"My husband and I are so happy we went with Jaimie as our wedding photographer! She made us feel confident and comfortable in her presence, capturing candid photos of genuine interactions.”
"Jaimie was an absolute dream to work with."
- Jess + Christina
"Jaimie knows exactly how to get people comfortable in front of the camera. She captures the true essence of her clients and how they interact with each other."
