EXPERIENCE
With an artful fusion of both style and heartfelt emotion, I can guarantee that the photos we create will transcend fleeting, cookie-cutter trends. Each image will tell a compelling story, capturing the essence of your moment in a way that is timeless, evocative, and uniquely your own.
an opulent experience
TAILORED JUST
FOR YOU
I wholeheartedly dedicate myself to each and every couple, ensuring that their journey with me is an undeniably exceptional one, extending from the initial planning stages to the day you receive your gallery. Every detail of your special day holds as much significance for me as it does for you. My commitment to you is to transform your unique vision into tangible, timeless moments, all while providing an unparalleled experience that you'll never forget.
what you can expect
From the very first moment we connect, you'll experience unwavering support, top-tier priority, and a profound sense of empowerment. I meticulously assist in planning every intricate detail of your photography needs in the lead-up to your special event. This thorough and dedicated approach ensures that we capture every cherished moment, preserving your memories in a way that reflects the essence of your unique occasion, stylishly.
Nothing inspires me more than unique scenery and cultures. I have been privileged to capture weddings all across the globe, including Bolivia, Mexico and more. I typically take on a select number of destination projects and most of my work is based in Chicago. Don't be afraid to inquire if you're dreaming of having me a part of your festivities and we can talk about your vision.
I primarily shoot digital with two cameras, but every now and then I bring a point and shoot for some extra flair. This is just for creativity, and you can expect a few rolls in the final gallery.
As many photos as it takes to completely tell your story. If it's a beautiful photo, and not a repeat, expect it to be there. That said, you'll typically end up with 75-100 photos per hour of coverage, but it really depends on how packed your day is with events. A wedding with more happening throughout the day will naturally end up with more photos in a final gallery compared to a more simplistic timeline.
A JNV couple can expect to spend between $7,000-$15k depending on their wedding weekend needs. I believe each wedding or project is just as unique as the couple. Each of my clients receives three collections to choose from that best align with their wedding weekend needs or project. I'd love to get to know you, hear about what you're looking for in your photo experience, and see if we'd be a great fit.
Destination weddings start from $12,000
Definitely! My booking process prioritizes your needs and choosing a wedding photographer for your big day can be daunting. I would love to hop on a call to see if we would be a good fit for each other.
My calendar fills up quickly, and I do my absolute best to provide my couples an experience completely unique and catered to them. In order to do this, I take on a limited number of weddings per year, capping at 20. Rest assured, my goal is to make sure every JNV couple feels well taken care of, and that is a standard that I will never waver from.
"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.
