I Dream of Weddings

res. We had a blast on our tour around the block with her, being photographed in our backyard and natural environment of our shop’s alleyways was such a treat. It didn’t feel staged but just like we were all on a fun stroll together sprinkled with some extra love in the air. I truly adore her artistic family shots of us in our record shop as well. I know our friendship will be a forever one and I am so thankful that our paths crossed. Not only do we get to enjoy her wonderful artwork for the rest of our lives but I am so excited for the many collaborations in our future. She is a photo genius and true gem of a human being. Don’t look anywhere else, she is exceptional. Arrived early, super professional, had so many beautiful ideas and listened to ours as well. I can’t speak more highly of her talents and great personality. It was a dream having her capture our family. If you want incredibly stunning photos she is the best in the biz!

saying my now husband and I have never *in our 7-year relationship* taken a single professional photo together. And here we were, attempting two professional photoshoots in one weekend - a cozy at home shoot, and our wedding day (undoubtedly one of the most significant days in one’s life). As you can imagine, we were not entirely comfortable in front of the camera. Cue Jasmine. Jasmine arrived with the biggest smile on her face (at 8 AM, mind you), offered to get us coffee on her way over (what photographer does that), and did everything in her power to make us comfortable. She breezed around the house capturing our cozy, intimate morning coffee date. She provided the perfect amount of direction and jokes, and slid our sweet pup across the floor effortlessly to capture the perfect photo. The outcome...A beautiful encapsulation of my two favorite beings - my husband, and our sweet furbaby Grace. The final photos are simply stunning. Twelve hours later, Jasmine was set to record one of the most meaningful days of our lives - our wedding. Now, I just received our sneak peaks from this day about 3 hours ago, and all I can say is that we (myself, my husband, our entire family, and all of my friends) are SMITTEN. We held a 50 person intimate COVID destination wedding two weeks ago, and looking at these photos took us straight back to that memorable day. I think my MOH said it best after looking at the sneaks I shared. “That’s exactly how I remember it,” she said. “Genuine.” I think that word best describes Jasmine and her work. Genuine. Jasmine genuinely cares. She genuinely cares about you. She genuinely cares about her work. She genuinely cares about capturing your day, no matter the event, exactly how you remember it. Book Jasmine - I Dream of Weddings. You won’t regret it.

ith portfolios that had the “look” I was going for, and as soon as I found her portfolio I knew she had to shoot our wedding. Our engagement photos were absolutely flawless and she humored me and let me drag her to about 7 different locations on Boca Grande for photos! Our wedding was just a few weeks ago so we haven’t received our full gallery yet, but the sneak peeks are amazing. Can’t wait to see the rest!

my wedding photos has been endless. No wonder VOGUE is showcasing her work! Thank you for providing us with a lifetime of jaw dropping memories.

nt of cameras but she made us both feel very relaxed and natural. The pictures we received from Jasmine were nothing short of breathtaking! Because of COVID, we were able to get our pictures back 5 days after our wedding!! The best part of the deal (other than the affordability) is the fact that you come out of a business interaction with someone who feels and treats you like family. I will recommend Jasmine to anyone and everyone that will listen. Oh and she traveled up to Georgia for our engagement photos and then Charleston, SC for our wedding!! Nothing but praise for I Dream of Weddings!!!

our expectations. It’s a little overwhelming on your wedding day because you want these photos to be perfect - and with Jasmine’s help/instruction, she captured the most beautiful moments. Not once did anything feel forced - she moved us naturally and with that the photos turned out drool worthy. She has an amazing eye - and love her confidence in what she does. She is an expert in catching beautiful sunsets which was a bonus as we had a later afternoon wedding. And on top of it all, she is as sweet as can be! I feel I also gained a friend in Jasmine.

-free because she always shows up right where she needs to be, clearly a seasoned professional!

y are just perfect. There is really no need to look any further because Jasmine is the best you'll find!

nal, flexible, and creative. I was worried that staged photos would take up too much of the day and I wanted to enjoy our party. Jasmine perfectly (and quickly) got us the photos we needed with beautiful artistry. My husband and I are not photo people and very often take super weird and awkward pictures. Jasmine was able to get us some really beautiful portraits as well as capturing our ceremony in a way that kept it true to our personalities. For our reception she was able to get some great candid photos of our guests having a fun time. I did not have a videographer but Jasmine's photos will always remind me of the fun time that was had. On a personal level, Jasmine was so sweet and nice and answered any questions I had without hesitation. She took pride in editing our gallery and really made sure to give it a personal touch. I am forever grateful that she was the one to capture our wedding!

os back yesterday and the wait was absolutely worth it. The energy radiating off of the photos was so intense and beautiful. She was so much fun to work with and exceeded any & all expectations we had. There are no words to describe how happy and overjoyed I am with our photos. If you're looking for someone to capture the energy, raw emotion and give you beautiful portraits, she is the one! Anyone can take a portrait these days, but it takes a special kind of talent to capture emotion and energy. Thank you Jasmine for your hard work.

edding photographer. She is a true artist who thinks outside of the box. Her composition and the way she envisions the photo before she takes it, is something truly special. She CARES so much and as a bride that's how you deserve to feel. She did our engagement session which ended up being beyond beautiful even after having to relocate. She trekked around to find the perfect spots for us to take our photos which end up making for the most unique album. Our wedding day was perfect, she captured all the shots we asked for, helped me with an outline for the day around makeup & hair. She took gorgeous beach shots and made me feel beautiful. She already sent a sneak peak and I am overwhelmed with how stunning they are. Can't wait for our full album. Thank you Jasmine!

uch more difficult. Highly recommended.

ing to us (because lets be honest its not everyday you hire a photographer for your wedding), answered all of our questions, and was just super sweet during the entire process. The day of the wedding she was on top of everything! She got all the shots I wanted and more in a short time frame. Would definitely recommend Jasmine to all bride-to be's. She was absolutely wonderful!

her photo shooting my engagement and wedding. I wouldn't trade her for any other photographer! Jasmine has a personality of gold and such a warm heart. I would hire her for ANY PHOTOSHOOT! The greatest to ever do it.

pictures are beautiful. I'm so happy.

ou everything in Florida is different from home. Everything. Jasmine immediately took care of everything and put us at ease. Every shot was captured at precisely the right moment with precision, vision and a kind of comfortable knowing that seemed to capture what we wanted without us even saying a word. Impressive. And when we ventured outside into the heat, we looked even better as Jasmine used nature and the natural beauty around us to make us look like movie stars. We love all of our candid shots too, so fun, natural and spontaneous. We can't imagine what our day would have looked like without a Jasmine in charge and in command. Just had to share.

ugh SO MANY photographers. Jasmine’s work immediately stood out to me so I thought I’d talk to her and feel her out. Oh my gosh, you’ll LOVE her! She’s super sweet and she knows what she’s doing. You can trust that your photos will be amazing! I go to her for everything now. Engagement? Wedding? Lifestyle? Maternity? Whatever it is, she’s got it covered. You’re gonna want to put those photos on billboards everywhere... or at least cover a wall with them. Thank you Jasmine for being so easy to work with, sweet, flexible, and so darn good at what you do!!!

wedding was great, and the day of wedding they didn’t miss a beat! I would highly recommend Jasmine Baetzel Photography and we looked forward to seeing our wedding pictures !

top notch, very professional and polite and has an edge that’s hard to find with wedding photography. I had to find a photographer last minute when my original had overbooked. Jasmine came through, was very easy to book and put me at ease. The cherry on top is that Jasmine is very reasonably priced and you get true quality wedding photos that paint a perfect picture of your big day!

ve in Saint Pete and didn’t know much about the area but then we found Jasmine on the knot. The prices were exactly what we were looking for and after checking her website we fell in love with her portfolio. If you’re looking for sth unique and innovative then she is exactly what you’re looking for. She is not only a great photographer but she a sweetheart. We waited a month impatiently for the pictures but it was definitely worth it. The shots and edits were beyond perfect. We can’t thank her enough for capturing our big day.

nd Jasmine didn't miss a beat with coming up with ideas of where to take our photos inside and then going back outside once the rain lightened up. She has a great eye for photography and created such quality pictures that we are thrilled to have for the rest of our lives. Thanks Jasmine!

super chill and easy to work with and was able to capture "us" and our wedding vision effortlessly. After spending the day with her, she was quickly upgraded to "family" status... and then the photos exceeded all expectations!!! She made us look like movie stars!!!! I cannot thank her enough for capturing these incredibly talented photographs and then going above and beyond to make them compatible for a technology-handicapped person like myself.. She was/is simply THE BEST!!!!

to have her all day at our wedding. She is professional, responds quickly to any emails or phone calls and has an amazing eye behind the lens. All of our friends and family keep complimenting our photos! We feel so lucky to have booked her and can't wait for our wedding! Thank you, Jasmine! You are wonderful!

album.

nt day of my life are the only thing I will have to remember this day, I was still on a budget. Wow! All I can say is wow! Jasmine delivered like an angel of heaven. I got a champagne package on a beer budget. I know that's not going to last. So, if you're looking for an amazing, undiscovered, talented visionary, hop on board before that train leaves town! I love you, Jasmine! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

ence of my vision gave me nothing but angst, fear and loathing I had never known. Let me tell you, when I talked with Jasmine, she not only put my worst fears to rest, she listened. She listened carefully. Once she had an idea of my vision, an understanding of my quirky personality and out if the box thinking she ran with it. Jasmine discussed additional venues, unique but elegant settings and ideas that I wouldn't have dreamed of. But it wasn't just that, it was Jasmine's pure talent and ability to capture what others do not even see that made my wedding the most unforgettable day of my life. With a grace that is hard to put into words, her photographs captured the very best of my husband, my wedding, my family, my friends & me. But, afterall the pictures tell the story. Everytime I look at them, they take my breath away. For a lifetime, I will be thankful. Simply, brilliant

uests who had cameras to capture most of our ceremony. Jasmine blew our expectations out of the water, we were so impressed when we received our album. We highly recommend Jasmine, a great photographer with a great personality!

ent beyond our requests with so many exceptional candid moments for my husband & myself to enjoy in our albulm for the rest of our lives! We were so appreciative of her communication with us through out the process of setting up our gallery.Her rates are excellent & Her interaction with all of our guests was luminous.Thank you for doing such a wonderful job! We are so happy with our albulm! We will definitely recommend her to friends & family in the future!

. We are so happy with our photos, thank you!

mom, dad, and everyone else - we love you). Jasmine captured the very essence of what was most important to us, the nuance, ambiance and magic moments of a day we wished for & hoped to capture in photos. Jasmine not only did this, but did so brilliantly. You see, you can put a camera in anybody's hands, but without vision, the product is mediocre at best. Jasmine spent time with us, most importantly, she listened to us. She "got" us. Jasmine did not get into a typical, "now we take pictures of the bride & groom" mode (although we love the formal shots, of course), she captured precious moments that somehow seemed like a wedding made in heaven movie set ... beautiful candid moments, unstaged natural shots, stunning, happy friends & family, unrehearsed magic moments - as for me - she made me look more amazing than I could have ever imagined (my husband looks rather dashing too). There are many wedding photographers, to be sure. But, a wedding photographer that has vision is rare. Jasmine's ability to capture moments, when others can only capture an image is absolutely brilliant. Unconventional beauty, just what we wanted. I am thrilled we have these beautiful images to treasure and share for a lifetime, we could not be happier. Thank you, Ms. Baetzel for going above, beyond and back again to make our day spectacular.

edgy at the same time. We did not want a typical wedding photographer who pushed the standard posed photos everyone associates with wedding photography. We wanted someone with a keen eye for beauty in the natural interactions between my fiance’ and I, and between us and our family and friends. We live in Ohio, so it was a challenge to find a the kind of photographer we were looking for. In desperation we posted an ad on Craiglist and hoped for the best. We found a gem in Jasmine. We looked at her portfolio and new immediately that she was the one who would capture our day. Before heading down to Florida for our wedding, I spoke with Jasmine and explained to her exactly what we did and did not want. She was excited for the possibilities this would give her as an artist. She spent 6 hours with us and covered every corner of Sarasota. I truly could not be happier with our wedding photos. She was able to turn them around before we had even flown home! We HIGHLY recommend Jasmine for whatever photography needs you may have. She has a unique eye, she is a risk taker, and she is doesn’t produce the same ol’ wedding pictures. She was everything we wanted in our wedding photographer and we are proud to have her photography hanging in our home.
