We cannot say enough great things about Jamie! We knew we had made the best choice for our wedding photographer from the initial consultation meeting. Her communication was stellar, and she had tips for every step to help guide us through the process. We had so much fun at our engagement shoot and loved the opportunity to get to know her before spending the long wedding day together. Jamie worked her butt off on our wedding day wrangling our families, keeping the photo timeline on track, and sweating in the August heat without a complaint. Not only is she funny, friendly, and so personable, but she is an ally who celebrates ALL love, which was vital to our day. The photos she took were amazing and will be forever cherished. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!
We found Jamie while searching for queer-affirming wedding photographers. As a gay couple, we knew we needed a professional who is comfortable capturing expressions of love across a broad spectrum. As Jamie’s portfolio proves, she is well practiced at this. Jamie is a committed ally to our community who does her research and ensures that she does business only with venues and vendors who do not discriminate against queer clients. Beyond that, here’s what makes her an excellent photographer: (1) she is warm and deeply kind, which is crucial to putting her clients at ease and eliciting natural displays of love in an inherently unnatural situation (i.e., cuddling and smooching on cue); (2) she gives direction with a great sense of humor—we will never forget some of her hilariously memorable tips (e.g., watch out for “T-Rex arms”); (3) she is willing to take charge, which is necessary for corralling and posing groups of family and friends while sticking to a schedule; and (4) she is an artist with great care for her craft—she captured our space beautifully and absolutely nailed the blended look of modern and traditional we were going for. We will recommend her to everyone we know who needs to commemorate life’s milestones with a professional photographer, and whenever we have another milestone to commemorate, she is the first person we’ll call. In the meantime, we hope to see her again at the finish line of the Houston Marathon!
I cannot even begin to describe how incredible Jamie is. She is so fun to work with and is amazing behind the camera. I couldn’t recommend her more. Her ability to really capture my husband and I was more than I could have asked for.
I can not recommend Jamie enough! She truly brought our vision to life! We were so overwhelmed when picking out photographers and we always had a pull towards Jamie and her beautiful photography. She is always willing to answer any questions you have leading up to your engagement session and day of. She made it a point at our wedding to run around and make sure if she saw a guest taking a picture to make sure to get one too for our keepsakes and that means the world to me. If I’m being honest, hugging, kissing and staring into your significant others eyes while all eyes are on your… is nerve wrecking , but Jamie truly made it me feel incredibly comfortable and on your side through it all! You truly can not go wrong with Jamie!
Jamie did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! Her confidence and professionalism as a photographer brought me a lot of peace and excitement around the day!
Jamie is an amazing photographer and person. She has a great eye for what looks good, but she listens to your wants/vision and couples that with her artistic abilities to create magic. The pics of the wedding ceremony, portraits and family shots are stunning...but the real surprise is how well she captured the atmosphere of the reception party. It is so difficult to get good action shots, but she managed to get 100s of them. I felt every bit of happiness looking at the reception picks as I experienced in real time.
If you are looking for a professional who knows her stuff, but makes it so personal, Jamie is your photographer. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!
Jamie was amazing! She made our wedding day photos go quickly ands they turned out beautiful! I loved that she was always there to catch the special moments but she wasn't intrusive at all. I loved her editing style as well, it totally went with our theme! We had previews very fast (like 24 hours), it was nice to have that before the full album was available.
Absolutely love Jamie! We have used her for 3+ years now! My (now) wife and I fall in love with Jamie more and more every time we use her! Makes you feel comfortable, will tell you funny jokes & stories, and has incredible style!
BONUS: hire her for free advice and relaxation methods before you walk down the aisle!
You will only go wrong if you DONT hire her!
Jamie is amazing! She's so much fun to work with, and the pictures are amazing. She's so creative with her picture-taking.
Jamie was literally the most reliable and most stable aspect of our wedding. My wife and I said many times throughout the wedding day as things weren't going right, "wow I'm so glad we have Jamie, at least we know we will have good pictures." She even could read our emotions and knew we needed a minute alone after being over stimulated with wedding responsibilities.
We decided not to hire a wedding planner and Jamie was able to give us tips and pointers for our wedding day schedule. She also helped us keep time and prepared us for what was coming up next on the schedule.
As a photographer, Jamie makes the photos and posing feel really natural and comfortable, and always takes your wants/needs/thoughts into consideration. She knows how to take action and when to make last minute changes if needed.
Our bridal party photos were outdoors in very rocky and unstable terrain, she was not afraid of the challenge and happily arranged everyone to utilize the most of the land scape. She climbed up and down and around those rocks to make sure she got the perfect shots.
To end this review I wanted to make certain points very clear.
1. Jamie is excellent in the chaos of a busy wedding day and kept us calm.
2. Jamie is excellent in quieter couples photos where it's just her and the couple. We never felt awkward and actually really enjoyed interacting with her.
3. Jamie is an LGBTQ Ally! Never at any point did I feel that Jamie was trying to force stereotypes on us, but fully accepted us as we are. And I'm eternally grateful for that.
Jamie blew me away!!! Jamie took my bridal photos and made me feel so comfortable and made it so fun! She went out of her way to make sure I had everything that I needed for photos and made everything so perfect! I cannot wait until I can share these photos with everyone!!!
Jamie is absolutely the best! We had both our engagement and wedding photos done with her, and they came out fabulous. She has you do some fun movements that you can't help but laugh, and she truly catches some amazing shots during these. We can't wait to work with her again!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jamie. She is patient, understanding, flexible, a go-getter, encouraging, motivating...seriously all things wonderful. From our engagement photos to even AFTER our wedding day, Jamie was there to make sure everything was how we wanted it to be, that the plans were clear, that we were comfortable with the process, and that we were included in her creative process. We are a same-sex couple, and our entire experience with her calmed our nerves and made us feel safe, loved and valued. Jamie is more than a photographer, she is a confidant, an encourager, a confidence builder, and a friend. We would recommend her to absolutely anyone, and will be looking for opportunities to call on her again!!
Jamie is seriously the best. When I say I’m still completely obsessed with my engagement and wedding photos, I mean it. She captured every moment so perfectly and is just a wonderful human to work with!
I followed Jamie for years on Instagram before I was even engaged and I knew she was exactly what I wanted. Jamie nailed it with our wedding photos, my bridals and our engagement pictures. I was shooting for a more moody, darker imagery and she did an amazing job. I am 100% obsessed with how everything turned out. Something she does really well is getting everyone in the photos to look natural, nothing looks forced or faked which I can tell you from experience that not all photographers have that skill. She is well worth the price and you will not regret hiring her. I look at our wedding photos constantly because she captured the moments so well. She also made me look like a total bada** in my bridal photos. I cannot recommend anyone more to capture your big moments.
Working with Jamie was amazing! Jamie took our engagement and wedding day pictures! She made us both feel comfortable since this was the first time taking professional photos for both my husband and I. She was very easy to work with and it felt like we were shooting with a friend it was that chill of an experience. She listened to our ideas and added in her own that complimented what we were looking for. I also appreciated her help with my jewelry and pinning my dress when I was getting ready since my mom was having trouble with her vision at the time. She jumped in to help with more than just taking beautiful pictures of that special day. My husband and I would work with her again for any special occasions/life events that are yet to come. Thank you Jamie for all that you did to capture these special milestones!
Jamie was such a great photographer. She did our engagement and our wedding and the photos couldn't have been better. She was able to capture the aesthetic we were going for perfectly. She even was great with all my family members on the wedding day. She was great at getting their attention and keeping to the schedule for the day, even with all my family wanting to take more and more pictures.
Jamie was amazing. Photos were the most important thing for my husband, myself and our families. She was so professional, personable, and genuine . She made our time with her, both at our engagement shoot and our wedding, feel like it was her #1 priority. She was there day or night to answer my questions, and help talk us through our wedding day. She was easy to talk to and relate to. She got our pictures back to us quickly, and gave us some awesome previous while we waited. The photos were crystal clear and moody, just how we wanted. My husband and I will cherish the photos forever, and they’re truly memories frozen PERFECTLY in time. I hope I never get married again, but if I did, I would book Jamie in a heart beat.
My fiancé and I chose Jamie to be our wedding photographer after seeing and loving her work on Instagram. We did an engagement shoot first and it was so fun and she did a great job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Very professional and efficient but fun and personable! She was just as great for our wedding day. I’m obsessed with all the photos. Highly recommend her for any photos you want or need!!
I absolutely love Jamie. She is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with. She made my wife and I feel so comfortable and special! She was so flexible with us during the pandemic trying to reschedule and cancel our original wedding plans, to ultimately elope at the courthouse! The pictures she took were all so amazing and I love them so much. We adore her so much that we booked her for our maternity shoot coming up, and I can't wait to work with her again!
Jamie was extremely professional and organized. She has an amazing eye for locations. I got married at the same place as someone else I know. Her wedding day it was pouring so she had to take photos inside - the photographer she used took all the couple photos in one location, that was mostly just a white wall background.
My wedding day it was nice out but Jamie still found an amazing location indoors as well as outdoors for unique and amazing different photos.
Her website is also easy to navigate and receive photos through! Whenever a friend of mine gets engaged the first thing I tell them is Jamie is amazing, offers incredible photos for a great price, and she travels!
Jamie is an incredibly talented photographer and just an amazing person in general! She drove half way across the state to be at our wedding, and the pictures are STUNNING! She literally risked getting struck by lightning so we could get amazing west Texas storm pictures. She handled having two 9 year old girls swinging around us during bridals like a champ! It never felt like we had a camera stuck in our face throughout the day. And then to top it all off, she went above and beyond editing all the pictures! There are a lot of good photographers out there that crank out the same pictures as other good photographers. But Jamie is a GREAT photographer! She captured what that day meant for us and sent us amazing, unique, and beautiful moments!
Jamie was hands down the best photgrapher for our wedding! She has such a great eye, command of the room, sense of humor, honesty and knoweldge of her craft. I was so thrilled that Jamie was willing to come to California to shoot our wedding photos and loved both working with her and the beutiful pictures! Thanks for much Jamie, you are amazing! :)
Jamie is the absolute best!! We clicked right from the start and she is so personable yet professional. When I look back at my wedding day, I can't help think of Jamie and her magnificent work she did throughout our special day. I received SO many compliments about her as well, she fit right in with our friends and families! Our wedding pictures exceeded our expectations and we can't stop looking at them.Her amazing pictures allow to us relive our day over and over again. Jamie was a great asset to our wedding day and we are going to recommend her to EVERYONE!!!
I highly recommend Jamie Harding Photography. She was the photographer for our June 7th wedding at the Messina Hoff Winery in Bryan TX. We chose Jamie because she was the most accomodating with price and the time of our event. Jamie was very punctual and took beautiful photos. She was very great to work with and fun. She was punctual and very professional.
Jamie goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding day photographs are everything you want. She’s easy to work with, and her turn around time is the quick.
I knew I would get quality photographs as well as quality service when we hired Jamie for engagement and wedding photos, but my family and I were overly impressed with her professionalism, natural ease behind the camera, and her ability to politely direct members of the wedding party amongst the hecticness of a wedding day without coming across pushy or rude as some photographers do. My husband is not an extrovert by any means, but Jamie's personality and the way she photographs can put the stiffest nerves at ease, and he was extremely anxious about the engagement session! Our photos looked like natural moments just accidentally captured during a normal day in our lives with our dogs and on the farm. Nothing from our engagement or wedding photos looks over-posed. Jamie doesn't over-photoshop and blow out the colors of the photograph as some cheesy photographers do; her compositions and ability to use natural light is considered during the session so that the photos are all naturally gorgeous. I cannot rave about this photographer enough. You CANNOT GO WRONG hiring her!
Jamie was the photographer at my youngest daughter's wedding in May of this year. She is one of the best story tellers, to use her words, that I know. She captured the venue, the bride and groom, and ceremonies and all so perfectly. We are all so very happy with all the pictures. If you need a wedding photographer, you can not go wrong having Jamie tell your story!
Jamie Hardin captured our love for one another and personalities brilliantly through pictures even in the cold, wind, and rain. The amount of effort her team took to make sure we had pictures to last a lifetime was overflowing. We were so excited to get wedding pictures in downtown Greenville despite the weather conditions. My favorite quote from her was “We have to get a reflection shot!” Thank you, Jamie Hardin for being so personable and caring.
