Iowa is more than a fly over state, if you're from here you know. We are super proud friendly humans (for the most part anyway 😝) and there is more than barns in the middle of the corn field to use for your wedding venue. Let's dive into the resources of Iowa (or all around the midwest) weddings so we can find your favorite place, figure out your timeline, and then give you a really awesome experience with your photographer.
(Hint: it's me, I'm your photographer!!)
It's NOT too good to be true...
What's your vibe.. romance? vineyard? clean lines?
There are so many gorgeous venues around Iowa and we could truly turn it into anything you want it to be with the right vendor team.

"My fiancé and I had never taken any type of professional photos before so we were a little unsure of the "process" but trusted Jamie 100 percent. Not only does she communicate from the first second you reach out but she basically holds your hand through the entire process."
Seriously, just book Jamie already!
Chrissha + Duane
"From emails about how to style yourself to execute certain visions to the day of where she makes you feel so comfortable and more importantly she makes you feel like you. My fiancé was so impressed as well. As far as our pictures amazing would be an understatement."
She captured exactly how I wanted to look and feel at such a special time in our lives..
Alex + Jon
"Jamie is super fun to work with. She's really funny and just a total joy. As far as weddings go, Jamie will help you with bits of the timelines and planning, too, if you need it."
It always felt like Jamie was more than a photographer to my husband and I; she felt like a friend.

I am always thinking about you, your ideas, and what we could do to make sure your gallery is a full story telling, documentary, and a mix of grip+grins sort of thing. From the moment you reach out, to me designing your wedding album after -- you're not alone when you have me on your side.
With Joy too of course 😜 but I'm a triple-hybrid photographer who uses 35mm film, digital, and iPhone formats to give you a little bit of everything that feels like a 90's childhood mixed with all of our human emotions.
Personally, that isn't enough. You need someone who lives + breathes helping her clients. Sure we will write your timeline together, but I'm also going to get the permits, point you where you need to go, and then keep in constant communication so we're always on the same page.
i'm your best choice ;)

Not just posed moments, but the in-betweens the moment where you can't get the cork off the wine bottle and ended up tripping over air... yep I gotchuu
Vendors, Timeline, travel times, decor resources, food all of it -- I can help
What if we started your morning slow with coffee? Maybe hit a golf game? Or .. what's your thing?

"If you want to break traditions and do your own thing for your wedding.."
– Carly
"..and want someone to capture it authentically, she’s your girl!"
– Jen C
"We are so grateful for Jamie! First and foremost, the images she captures are stunning - actual artwork"
Printing is huge afterwards. Yes I will give you a USB with your digital back up, but I need you to have these images printed because you're a work of art. I'm going to prove it to you!
Personally your wedding isn't just one day. You have the full week of prep, to the night before, dinner, friends coming in to celebrate, and even the day after to adventure around. That's why my couples almost always choose multi day coverage. We want the full story!
My film work is meant to feel lived in, like your 90's childhood nostalgia. I want it to feel a little messy, a little chaos because as humans that's who we are -- we're not meant to be perfect. We're meant to find connection with each other.
Your gallery is going to be a full story of different kinds of images. With me I love being a fly on the wall, but I also will take control at times to direct you. I read the room though, don't worry.
Story telling is second nature to me and is very fore front in my wedding photography. I want you to feel like you can be a fly on the wall when you look through your wedding album reliving every moment from your entire wedding events.
Bonus! BONUS! BONUS!
I want you to feel taken care of, like the mama I am I need you to feel loved on because with me I actually give a shit about YOU. From the moment you reach out to me, to even years after your wedding day once your in my family, you are always a part of JTP.
When you reach out, I will give you a detailed timeline of booking your consult call to signing your contract. After that is taken care of we dive into what we need to plan or secure to get you to your dream wedding / elopement. With me it's always one invoice, and never any surprise fees.
