Meet Jaimie - Your California Documentary-Style Photographer

I love finding the spark in ordinary moments and places and showing you the love and magic that you radiate without even realizing it.

Your love + a little adventure

The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful than the pure joy, excitement, and comfort of two people getting ready to start one of the greatest adventures of life: marriage.

There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or a perfect location to capture the perfect memory. It’s about a snapshot in time - and delivering you a gallery full of photos you can feel.

YOU MIGHT NOT NOTICE

I'm an St. Louis native whose soul is at home in Joshua Tree. My daughter is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Hiking clears my brain and heart. I will never stop fighting for the rights of marginalized people. I believe that Love is Love and Black Lives Matter. Fuck the Patriarchy and Diet Culture.

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.

(And Gigi!)

06. I have a ton of food allergies and basically the only candy I can eat anymore is Smarties and SweetTarts. I consume so many Smarties it's not funny ya'll.

05. I love going to thrift stores because you never know what you'll find. It's always a treasure hunt. Thrifting with my mom & grandma since I was a baby, it's a beloved activity for me. I try to check out a thrift store in each new place I go.

04. I'm a reader. I always have like, 4-5 books going at a time. i don't watch tv, i read. that is how i have time for books... which are on my kindle app, on my phone. I've tried the kindle reader and I just don't like it.

03. i taught myself to crochet. it takes me forever to finish anything because my cats "help" so much. Each blanket also contains lots of cat fur finely woven into it because cats.

02. I'm a cat person, but hanging with new dogs makes me the happiest person ever. Chihuahua at Home Depot... eh. As part of a wedding? Day. Fucking. Made.

01. As a kid, I always thought it would be cool to meet a President and take their picture. I accomplished that when I got to be Joe Biden's personal photographer on an STL stop on tour.

Fun

Our photos are all beautiful and look more like art than two very awkward people. She takes candid shots that perfectly capture all of the emotions of the day, but is also a rock star at corralling your family to get those important portrait shots in, too. Jaimie was so helpful in choosing locations to shoot, she was a Godsend when it came to figuring out the wedding day timeline, and she was more than willing to jump in & help with wardrobe and flower fiascos. Thanks for everything, Jaimie!"

"Jaimie is absolutely wonderful to work with! We are so glad we chose her. We knew right away that she was right for us. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and I just LOVE the amazing candid shots she captures. Her photos capture real moments, and she still even fits in those classic posed photos to that the grandparents want. We were running so behind schedule at our wedding and Jaimie and her assistant handled it with pure ease and worked so well with us. You cannot go wrong with choosing Jaimie as your wedding photographer. Her images will capture the emotions and laughter so you can continue to relive it all and she is incredibly sweet and down to earth!"
