Before the wedding, Jasmine Baetzel herself stated and emailed me about the importance of having a second photographer given the size of our guest list. She assured me that another...
photographer would be present to capture all the significant moments, and I trusted her professional expertise.
Unfortunately, on the day of the wedding, I was deeply disappointed to discover that a second photographer was not present. Because of her oversight, I was cheated out of beautiful memories that could have been treasured for a lifetime.
Jasmine Baetzel failed to deliver on her promises and was ill-prepared to handle the demands of my wedding. She was unable to direct the amount of people who were in my wedding party. She had also previously asked for a list of “musts” and she did not capture all of those either and later told me she didn’t have enough time!!! The first time I met her for my engagement shoot I thought she was so sweet and professional, but that was apparently only for when two people are being photographed.
To add insult to injury, Jasmine later admitted her mistake through a series of emails, promising to reimburse me for the lack of the second photographer. Yet, despite these assurances, it has been a YEAR, and I still have not received any refund.
I texted her last week ONCE…tried to follow up today and she blocked my phone number!! How a business owner think that is appropriate is beyond me.
To anyone considering hiring Jasmine Baetzel (I Dream of Weddings), I strongly advise against it. My experience highlights a lack of professionalism and reliability that is simply unacceptable for such an important occasion. She has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
This entire experience has tainted my memories of our wedding day, and I sincerely hope that other clients do not have to face similar disappointments.
I thought this was a great idea when I launched my wedding magazine in 2005 titled I DREAM OF WEDDINGS MAGAZINE. I too provide a unique narrative to my love stories by blending doc...
umentary and portrait photography using a photo journalistic approach through the art & science of storytelling. I wish Jasmine well on her photography journey.

AMAZING! My husband and I have never gotten professional photographs done before so we were really nervous. She made us both feel so comfortable and was able to capture beautiful m...
oments. I knew from day 1 when I saw her portfolio she was the perfect match to photograph our wedding. I love the fact that she is not about the truly poised pictures (Yes, we did have some of those, because you kind of have too), but the candids are what I love the most. I can't wait to be 80 years old and look back at these beautiful pictures. We did get married during COVID so every week I was messaging Jasmine about questions and she was so supportive and sweet. Her pictures are amazing and she as a person is also amazing. If we have any other events that we need pictures for I will for sure be going back to her!
I’m not sure that anything I can write can even convey how AMAZING and majestic Jasmine is, but I’ll give it a shot. First, her work is to die for. It is emotional, heartfelt, and ...
full of character. She doesn’t just capture a beautiful photo, she captures a special moment in time with elegance. She naturally has an eye for this, hence, the amazing results she is able to deliver. You get thousands of photos in a beautifully delivered gallery, with options for prints and more. Now, on a personal level - Jasmine is the sweetest, most kind hearted person. She makes you so comfortable while shooting , and is able to guide and pose you without making you feel like a complete rookie. She gives a great combo of posed and candid shots (let’s face it, we all need some posing). Jasmine did our engagement shoot, wedding, and she did my boudoir shoot. We plan on going back for a couples boudoir on our one year anniversary. I looked through maybe over 50 photographers - and I am so thrilled we went with her. I have friends who have paid double and TRIPLE the money for the weddings and weren’t provided with the type of top notch, top quality experience Jasmine provides you with. Don’t waste your time looking further. Seriously.
We had a small COVID ceremony with just our family, instead of the 150+ guest wedding we had originally planned. Jasmine did an amazing job of capturing our special day! She guided...
us through group shots and took amazing candids, and we had a ton of fun working with her throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and I can't wait to have her capture the ceremony we originally planned for our vow renewal next year!
Jasmine is the best wedding photographer in the universe. I felt as though we had been friends for years and everything was super fun, natural and organic when it came to her captu...
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!
Jasmine is SENSATIONAL. Even as I write this, I am unsure if that word truly embodies how wonderful and talented a human she truly is. Let me preface the rest of of this review by ...
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.
Jasmine shot both our engagement photos and our wedding photos this year. She is so talented! When trying to find a photographer I scoured the internet, looking for photographers w...
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!
SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS TO SAY! Jasmine was THE best photographer & has been such a joy to work with. Her shots are truly stunning. The number of compliments I have received about...
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.
Jasmine was an absolute dream to work with both for our engagement photos and wedding photos! She’s very personal and down to earth. My husband has a tendency to get nervous in fro...
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!!!
I am blown away by my entire wedding gallery. I would recommend Jasmine 110%.
Jasmine shot my husband and I’s wedding in Clearwater at The Sandpearl 6/2019 and completely exceeded...
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.

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!
I picked Jasmine to do our photography for our wedding because I wanted a photographer to capture the emotion. To say she just did that would not be enough. We got our wedding phot...
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.
Before you keep reading, BOOK JASMINE. Let me just say, my now husband and I do not love taking photos but Jasmine made us feel so comfortable. She was everything you want from a w...
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!

Jasmine was the first photographer we met when starting our wedding vendor search and definitely set the standard, there was no way we would book anyone else. She explained everyth...
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!
Gorgeous pictures, we're so happy with them!
I don't even know where to begin with Jasmine - hands down the absolute greatest person and photographer to ever work with. We have become really good friends over the last year of...
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.
Jasmine is the best! We are super happy with our photos and she made the photography process fun! She is the only wedding photographer I would recommend, thank you again, Jasmine!!

I'm a guy so I'm not usually into this kind of thing, but this time I feel I have to. My wife and I renewed our vows and decided on a destination wedding in Florida. I am telling y...
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.
Jasmine is a true Gem! She has an Amazing eye and personality! I would hire her a million times! Will definitely hire her for all of our family events moving forward.
I’d categorize myself as super picky when it comes to photo and video. It’s all I’ll have to show for all the work I put into making my day perfect! So I’ve literally scrolled thro...
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!!!
My husband and I can’t begin to expressed how much we enjoyed having Jasmine and her assistant as our photographer! From beginning to end they were outstanding ! The follow up pre...
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 !
Our wedding photos that Jasmine took were stunning, so much that they were featured on the front cover of VIP New Tampa Magazine, that speaks for itself. Aside from that Jasmine is...
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!
Best photographer any couple could ask for! I don’t usually write reviews but Jasmine more than deserves it. My husband and I were struggling to find a photographer as we didn’t li...
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.
We could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. Jasmine was great to work with and easily available by email or phone to talk. On the day of our wedding it rained a...
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!
Jasmine was a DREAM COME TRUE!!! Everyone advised "make sure you get a good photographer for your wedding whatever you do!!"....Well we found an EXCEPTIONAL one in Jasmine. She was...
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!!!!
We were so excited when we found Jasmine. My fiance and I wanted moments, not staged pictures and that is exactly what we got! Our engagement photos are AMAZING and we cannot wait...
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!
She was very nice and sweet. All of our guests loved her. Her photos were excellent... she's gifted. I highly recommend this photographer.
We had a very small wedding last week and we already got our photos! We loved having Jasmine as our photographer, we recommend her to anyone who is looking for the perfect wedding ...
album.
OMG! Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that my wedding could be captured so beautifully! So, I am on a budget. And even though I know photographs of the most importa...
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!
I think of myself as a laid back, chill kind if girl but when it came to my wedding photos all bets were off. The thought of finding a photographer that could truly capture the ess...
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
We found Jasmine on Craigslist 6 months ago when she was expanding her portfolio and with our low budget we weren't expecting a 5 star photographer. We were really relying on our g...

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!
Jasmine photographed for our wedding on 9/9/2017. All I can say is that she is amazing!! Great photos and a great photographer. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Other than our Minister who officiated our ceremony, I cannot think of another person more important to us on the most important day of our lives than Jasmine Baetzel, (apologies, ...
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.
My fiance and I were looking for a wedding photographer with a bit of an edge behind the art of photography. We wanted a professional, polite, and appropriate, photographer who was...
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.
