As Seen in

(Hint: Reach out, we do this together)

The best wedding is one where you and your human are at the center of everything—surrounded by the people you love the most, doing the things you love the most. It’s a day (or days!) that encourages all of your quirks, ideas, and must-haves without an ounce of guilt, shame, or performance. 

Your day—in its entirety—should reflect the best of who you two are together. And the photos of your day should do the same.

Oh, and one more thing! You deserve a photographer who takes the time to understand your dynamic, sees you for who you are, and captures it all on camera in a timeless, one-of-a-kind way. If you’re still deciding on season, location, or expectations, I’ve shared helpful planning guides below.

No seriously, get selfish!

Cool! You’re my kind of couple.

You want a photographer who celebrates your queerness


You want images that will live seamlessly on your walls (and in your heart) forever


Getting married in nature sounds
like a dream come true


You want to say “I do” without all the rules


Does Any Of This Ring True?

Elisa & Vic

Our photos surpassed our greatest expectations, and the little moments that she captured without us noticing have brought many tears to our eyes. Whenever Jamie walked into a room so did a feeling of relief. She knew all of the tricks, the right things to say, and somehow still managed to hold my phone/tissues/lipstick in the process. 

We would get married all over again just to pick her twice."

Jamie gave me so much ease on my day - when I was freaking out about centerpieces or running late, she assured me everything was perfect and rearranged everything to include all the details I wanted while alleviating any stress. And the photos? Absolutely gorgeous. She captured every moment we could have ever wanted and more, even ones she probably didn't need to.

Her quirky personality made working with her an absolute delight."

She took the time to understand our vision + story and provided guidance to bring our day together. We felt completely comfortable and are so thankful to have had Jamie capture our engagement and wedding; we will cherish our photographs for a lifetime.

Not only does she capture moments beautifully, she is genuinely an amazing person."

Or maybe it’s something entirely different. Whatever it is, if it’s a reflection of your love, I can’t wait to capture it.

Sharing your first kiss as an officially married couple on the edge of a cliff while the sun slips below the horizon before running off for some fresh clam chowder

Gathering your closest family and friends for an intimate backyard ceremony followed by a classic picnic and an early bedtime 

Going on a winery tour and slowly sipping your way through reds, whites, and rosés (and probably a few cheese boards)

Climbing up a mountain with hiking boots on your feet and your fancy attire packed away until you reach the peak

Saying “I do” in an old converted post office while the ghosts of decades-old love letters swirl around you

Maybe it’s…

Fun fact: Your elopement can be anything you want it to be. So please, erase any preconceived ideas about what you “should do,” and let’s figure out what feels most like you two.

Because that’s what we’re doing

What Feels Like You?

Here’s What Working Together Looks Like

Because a Smooth Experience Matters Just as Much as the Photos

A couple sitting on a rock close together about to kiss
A bottle of champagne, rings, and wedding invitations laid out together
A person helping someone button up their wedding dress

Awkward posing and forced affection for the sake of a photo

Inviting people to be part of your wedding party out of obligation (that shit gets awko taco real quick)

Traditional church weddings (sorry not sorry)

Big weddings where you don’t have time to pause and enjoy your day because you’re too busy saying “hi” to people you barely know

Pressure to perform, invite, and entertain all for the sake of someone else’s feelings

What I’m Not About

Documenting your day in a genuine way with minimal interjection, while ensuring you and your people look incredible

Intentionally choosing the people you share your day with and not feeling guilty about who you don’t invite 

Ditching tradition and opting for a unique celebration—whether that’s on a mountainside, in your backyard, or inside of a historic building (PS: I love a themed wedding—think, 1920s dark & moody)

Small, intimate gatherings where you’re surrounded by your favorite people and no one else

Weddings where the focus is on you and your forever BFF having the time of your lives and celebrating this life you’ve built together

ps: There is no need to worry, your queerness is very loudly celebrated here. Come on in!

From moving across the country, meeting my partner from a post it note, and now chasing our toddlers.. it’s been a wild ride

A straight-shooter who some affectionately refer to as weird, quirky, and incredibly energetic. I’m *not surprisingly* a smiley, short little human who loves nothing more than spending hours upon hours exploring the outdoors solo, with my couples, or with my husband Mark + kids Mercer & Jetson.

Speaking of Mark—I met him while traveling to New England and immediately fell in love with both his Boston accent and the region he called home.

I know how overwhelming it can feel inviting a stranger to your intimate day and attempting to act “normal” while they photograph the whole thing. But one promise I’m completely unafraid to make is this—3 minutes into your session you’ll forget we haven’t been friends for life because you’ll be too busy laughing your ass off.  

And if you happen to care, I’m agnostic, a die-hard fan of LoTR, carbs, and staying in sans pants.

I believe acts of kindness can change your life, & it did mine.

I’m Jamie
