Korie was so amazing and really accomadating throughout our entire wedding experience especially considering the reschedules we had due to the pandemic. The photos turned out gorgeous and captured the essence of our love and our friends and family so well

This was mine and my Husbands first experience hiring a photographer and having our pictures taken professionally. We were both nervous being in front of the camera and how the process would go, Korie did such a wonderful job calming our nerves and directing us the perfect amount so the photos still felt candid. We were also having weather troubles the day of the wedding and Korie was kind enough to offer other options so we were able to get the photos of our dreams.

The joy it will bring us both to have these photos for the rest of our lives and be able to look back on such an incredible day is something we will never be able to say thank you enough for.

My husband and I were looking for a photographer to shoot maternity photos for us and we came across Desert Dweller Photography. Her wedding and engagement photos were absolutely stunning, so we asked if she could do maternity photos, and Korie, the photographer, was more than happy to capture this amazing time in our lives. During the shoot, she made us feel very comfortable and at ease when posing, and was very personable and fun! Additionally, she listened to what we were looking for in regards to location and poses. She is definitely a gifted photographer and I would recommend Desert Dweller Photography to capture all of your special life events. We are so happy with how our pictures turned out!

Korie was amazing. Not only on just the day of our wedding but so helpful and great in our whole journey of planning, boudoir photoshoot, and even offering support and help planning! Korie's edits on our beautiful photos brought us right back to our special day as we teared up looking at them! Overall, she is supportive, fun, so nice and a great photographer.

Korie was phenomenal. She was such a joy at our wedding and all events leading up to our big day. She was organized and professional but you could tell she genuinely wanted to be a part of telling our story. When we got our pictures back we couldn’t help but cry, they captured the emotion of the day perfectly. Her laid back and warm personality made both me and James comfortable and that meant we could just be ourselves. I give Korie my highest recommendation.

I am absolutely blown away by the images from our wedding day and the service Korie provided to us. Not only did she help us with our wedding day timeline, but she answered questions we didn't even know we had! Korie’s attention to detail and love for her job was portrayed in every single image of our wedding gallery. From inquiring with her to delivery of our images, we knew she took her role in our wedding very seriously. Her approach to her work made us feel at ease when in front of the camera, which was so important to preserve our wedding day memories. She was truly one of the best investments we made on our wedding day!

We cannot say enough about Korie and her work! From day one, she was so easy to work with, Kind, and personable. She traveled from Arizona to California to photograph our engagement session and wedding and we are so fortunate to have had her for our special day. She made us feel comfortable and not awkward at all. I was nervous about planning my wedding because I was absolutely clueless on how things went but Korie knew exactly what to do throughout the night. She helped keep things moving and allowed me to fully be present in the moment. We loved how our photos turned out and got them back in a VERY timely manner, which was a huge bonus. We wholeheartedly recommend Desert Dweller Photography!

Korie did our boudiour and wedding photos and we cherish them! She was wonderful, comfortable, and fun to work with. She was willing to meet us in a different city and made the process easy and stress free. She made the whole experience really special for us and if we ever need any pictures she'll be the first one we call.

Korie was our wedding photographer on 11.11.22. She was beyond helpful through the entire process and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our guests still talk about how sweet and amazing she was that day. Her photos were of great quality and her editing was consistent! She has an eye for detail, was patient, and creative, and was so much fun! I normally am very shy in front of a camera (especially with all the nerves of such a big day), but she made me feel so comfortable. The entire experience was just magical. Truly an unforgettable day! thanks to her because we have amazing photos for proof, haha! All laughs, hugs, kisses, kids, and every moment in between were captured beautifully, and my Husband and I were holding back tears, reminiscing what an amazing day we had. Thank you Korie for being our photographer and for your flexibility and beautiful work!

Korie did an amazing job for my wedding. She is super kind and went the extra mile to help my day amazing. We had all of our pictures in great time and most of all our photos where flawless. She definitely captured our day perfectly.

Korie was amazing! My husband does photography as a hobby and consistently has said we got $5k photos for less than half the price. He was really impressed with both the photos from our engagement shoot and our wedding. I am also in love with them! She was incredibly easy to work with, very flexible, punctual and communicative. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer!

Korie is an extremely personable individual with an artistic eye. Korie was the photographer for our intimate destination wedding. The stress of a destination wedding was enough to handle, but Korie helped ease the stress every step of the way. Her thoughtfulness throughout the day will always stick with me. When you think of your wedding, you want pictures that capture the beautiful moments for a lifetime. Korie not only did that but more. She captured the raw emotions, the moments of pure bliss, plus all the magic in between. The weight was lifted off our shoulders and she managed everything while keeping our vision in mind. Korie made the whole experience seem effortless and the end results were more than I expected. Having such a calming and truly beautiful human as Korie present on my big day made a world of difference. She made me feel beautiful and made the photos not only enjoyable but easy. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience. Korie went above and beyond as our photographer. I am so grateful for the beautiful memories and pictures to cherish and look back on forever!

From the very beginning, Korie was nothing but professional and extremely attentive to our needs and wants. She was very responsive and truly captured every moment! We couldn’t be more pleased and thankful for everything Korie did for us. The pictures were absolutely stunning. But furthermore, she listened to everything we wanted and captured our moments so we can cherish them forever. Meanwhile, making it all fun. Her positive energy and down-to-earth personality is contagious and helped put me at ease!

My wedding photos turned out amazing!! I would highly recommend using Korie as your photographer for any event in your life. I'm 56 years old and on my 4th marriage, but I finally have some wedding photos I can be proud of.

My cousin recommended Korie for our wedding photos and I have to say she was awesome! We've had photo shoots done before but nobodies been able to provide the personal touch and effort that Korie put in to make our special day perfect!!!

Thank you so much Korie! My sisters and I wanted to do a photoshoot in the dessert wearing long dresses and cowboy boots. Korie knew the perfect spot and time of day to get the most beautiful photos. She really made us feel like models for the day! It was such a fun experience. I couldn't believe how the tangerine sky and cacti in the background complimented our mauve dresses. We found some poses from TikTok and Instagram, but I have to say my favorite photos of all are the ones she got of us laughing and goofing off. They really reflect the love we have for each other and the happiness we were feeling in the moment. This will be one of my fondest memories with my sisters, and unlike most happy memories I have these amazing photos to remember the day. If you're thinking of having some photos taken with family, i highly recommend it! Especially if you have Korie behind the camera!!

It’s important to hire professional and knowledgeable vendors for your wedding so that they relieve some of the stress of planning this huge event in your life. Korie did just that! I told her some ideas that I had for my wedding photos and she was not only able to deliver just what I had in mind, but with her experience and expertise she was able to come up with some truly phenomenal ideas that felt personal and unique to me. I am not a photogenic person, but she helped with posing and was able to get some truly stunning images. Not only that, but the candies she took of our friends and family enjoying the night are still frame worthy images that I will forever cherish. She was punctual and had an amazing, positive attitude. I could not be happier!

Korie Jecius is an incredible photographer! She was so helpful from the time we found her to delivering our wedding images. She helped us find other vendors for our wedding, create a timeline, AND delivered the most beautiful images from our day! Korie invested so much time in getting to know us that taking photos with her felt effortless. When you meet her you can feel the passion she has for photography and her work. We are beyond excited to relive the magic of our day over and over again through the photos. We truly feel blessed to have worked with Korie and recommend her for all your photography needs!

Korie is amazing! She captured our wedding day and was so caring and down to earth. She worked so well with our videographer which was a major plus. I love how she took the time to look through my pinterest board and recreate my favorite looks. Our photos turned out beautiful!

Being cute/sexy/having fun in front of the camera doesn't always come naturally. Korie took some individual photos of me at White Sands National Park for my PR/marketing business, and I absolutely LOVE them. I told her what I was looking for and it was her idea to go to White Sands, and she gave me perfect ideas of what types of outfits to pick - even looked at pics I sent her to help me choose! I wanted to get a different mix of professional photos and for my brand on social media in this scenery, and she made me feel so comfortable it was like doing a photo shoot with my best friend!! Korie caught me in my moments when I was being goofy about being sexy/cute/comfortable and those photos came out looking like I was pulling these suave and beautiful poses on purpose! I seriously love them and have received responses like "WOW."; "DANG."; "Ohmygosh, can she take some of me??" from those who have seen them. Korie even caught shots of my Jeep!! I adore the adventures that vehicle and grace allow me to go on; since she knows this, she made sure to catch some killer shots of my 4x4 in the white sands. Thankfully, we never got stuck!! I look forward to more shoots with Korie, whether they're more individuals or engagement/wedding/day after/family (if I ever get to those milestones lol)! I wish I knew of her photography when I was graduating college, because she would have taken amazing senior shots. I love the outdoors, and her passion for it shines in her images. Korie Jecius is 100% recommended by me. P.S. If you've never been to White Sands National Park or don't have an idea of what it looks like, Google it. It's gorgeous and perfect for a shoot - amazing choice by Korie.

Korie is a wonderful photographer. She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple before the shoot so that she has a genuine understanding of what you want. She is open to exploring new places, and makes the experience exciting and fun. Her style of photography is modern and moody, making her photos beautiful and unique. I would call Korie to photograph any occasion without hesitation!

Korie was phenomenal. She was such a joy at our wedding and all events leading up to our big day. She was organized and professional but you could tell she genuinely wanted to be apart of telling our story. When we got our pictures back we couldn’t help but cry, they captured the emotion of the day perfectly. Her laid back and warm personality made both me and David comfortable and that meant we could just be ourselves. I give Korie my highest recommendation
