YOUR STORY, ARTFULLY TOLD
FASHION FOCUSED AND CONTEMPORARY ART DIRECTION
Images are so much more than a pretty picture. They are filled with nostalgia and emotions that you can cherish forever. They are captured stolen glances and human connection. They are bringing to light the abundance of starry-eyed happiness, and tearful vows. My studio values intentionality and community. I thrive in focusing on the small and artful details that bring your story to life. A creative soul with a love for romance, my philosophy is this: Life isn't perfect; I desire to capture how it felt, and evoke feeling in a moment.

"SHE HAS A RARE GIFT AND ABILITY TO CAPTURE EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL"
Jaymi is creative, a phenomenal communicator and director, and she knew exactly when to step in and when to let moments unfold naturally. The emotion, joy, and love on our wedding day came through in every single image. Some of them literally look like paintings! I’ve never seen myself in this light before and looking at these photos, I felt so incredibly beautiful I could cry. Hiring her was hands-down the best decision I made during wedding planning (besides marrying my husband, of course!). If you want timeless, emotional, and breathtaking wedding photography, Jaymi is your person.

"She is genuine, thoughtful, and industrious, flexible, and deeply passionate about her business, which is reflected in her work.."
Her talent is undeniable — every photo she shot captures the emotions and beauty of our wedding journey, and truly represents who we are. She has an incredible eye for detail and an innate ability to find the right light, making each picture a total work of art. Jaymi has agency and presence. Not only was she incredibly collaborative with the rest of our vendors, she brought a calm energy to the day that enabled us to be present in the moment. She captured genuine, heartwarming, joyful moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We truly can’t express the deep respect and gratitude we have for Jaymi’s talent — she knocked it out of the park! Brides, run don’t walk!

"I simply could not recommend Jaymi more - to Indian and non-Indian brides alike. She is just the best."
Jaymi is a truly amazing wedding photographer, business woman and person all around. I could not recommend her MORE to all brides - and Indian brides who are reading, Jaymi is simply amazing at capturing the beauty of Indian weddings. During the events, Jaymi was very mindful of what types of photos I was wanting, which ones I didn't want to take and how to manage our families pulling her in many directions. She stayed very calm throughout while also being firm on doing what the bride/groom wanted. I appreciated that so much. She captured the vibrancy, colors, and culture so beautifully while still giving us the elegant, upscale, chic and effortless photos we were looking for. I simply could not recommend Jaymi more - to Indian and non-Indian brides alike. She is just the best.

"we should have known that rain or shine, she was going to deliver the most dreamy photos."
Bringing Jaymi on as our wedding photographer was no doubt the best decision we made in the planning process. She is an artist and talented does not begin to cover it.
When she delivered our timeless photos from our Chicago engagement shoot, we knew we wanted to fly her out to New Jersey to photograph our wedding day.
It ended up raining on our wedding day but she quickly got on board with the last minute change of plans. We were nervous about how it would impact our pictures, but knowing how talented she is, we should have known that rain or shine, she was going to deliver the most dreamy photos. Highly recommend Jaymi for anyone seeking a photographer who combines skill, kindness, and a touch of magic.
