We cannot recommend Katie and Mitchel enough!! From the moment we met Katie at our engagement session, she put us at ease and just felt like an old friend! She was flexible with timing trying to find the one small window of good weather in the one weekend we could come to SC for photos! She had a preview with sooo many photos back to us in no time and the full gallery not long after that. Her style of bright and true to color was exactly what I was looking for and we were obsessed with every single photo. We also felt like she captured our personalities and relationship in each photo. Leading up to the wedding, she was communicative and helpful in making a schedule for the day based on our requests and so easy to work with! Having Mitchel with her on wedding day was just icing on the cake! They have this down to a science and work as a well-oiled machine and made the day flow smoothly without making it feel stressful at all. Both are such joys to work with!!! Our people were so complementary about them as well. Again, our previews were back so quickly and the full gallery only a month after our wedding! They captured every inch and the most special moments of our day. We are so grateful and would 10/10 choose them again!!
Katie and Mitchell photographed our wedding this past summer and they were a dream to work with!! They made the whole day so easy and seamless and the pictures turned out amazing. We could not have imagined having anyone else be a part of our day.
I don't have enough great things to say about Katie Jaynes Photography! Katie is a true professional - she is so kind, thoughtful, and great to work with. Her and Mitchel captured our wedding day perfectly with no detail left undone. I have had numerous people tell me that our wedding photos are the prettiest they have ever seen! I would recommend Katie Jaynes to any bride who is still searching for their wedding photographer!
Katie and Mitchel were one of the highlights of our wedding weekend. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Not only are their photographs are absolutely beautiful, they are so wonderful to work with. They made my family and me feel so calm and comfortable the morning of my wedding. They made things run smoothly and made sure I didn't have to worry about anything. Katie even helped me plan and organize my timeline leading up to the wedding.
They are such a joy to work with and when I think back on my wedding, working with them was one of the best parts. I will definitely use Katie the next time I need photographs taken and I highly recommend her to all of my family and friends. She is so wonderful.
Thank you, Katie and Mitchel, for making our wedding so special and for taking the most beautiful photographs of our special day.
Katie and her husband Mitchel were the absolute best to work with. From our engagement pictures, emailing before the wedding and the actual wedding day- they made it so so simple. I am so happy we chose them for our wedding day. They are so easy to get along with and laughed with us throughout the entire day AND took the most amazing pictures ever!! We cannot get over how perfect our pictures turned out. Hands down the best photographers in the Greenville area!
Katie and Mitchel were an absolute joy to work with. Katie was always available for questions during my wedding planning process, she was so fun to work with at our engagement session, and then they blew us away on our wedding day with how they captured everything! They really brought our vision of our day to life with their photos. Katie and Mitchel were able to make my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera, and they managed our big families and crying babies super well for family portraits too! Photography for your wedding day is such a significant investment and Katie and Mitchel went above and beyond what we were expecting! We are so excited to get to display our wedding photos and treasure the moments they captured for years to come in our marriage. I would highly recommend any couple looking for classic, beautiful photography to book Katie Jaynes Photography!!
We are a husband and wife Wedding Videography team and have had the pleasure of working with Katie Jaynes Photography multiple times. Katie and Mitchel do a fantastic job of forming a relationship with their couples, are extremely organized and prepared, and produce outstanding photos you'll cherish forever! We are grateful to get to work with Katie Jaynes Photography, and are excited to continue to work together in the future!
Katie and Mitchel are an AMAZING team! We were given our photos back in record time (one day for bridals and three weeks for full wedding album). They even had a slideshow at our reception of ceremony photos they edited on their drive TO THE RECEPTION! (all photos without water marks I might add). They are the sweetest and sent gift packages leading up to the wedding. Everyone commented about how great the photos were. Truly worth the money, you are missing out if you don’t pick Katie and Mitchel for your photos.
Katie was the PERFECT photographer for us!! We loved the photos she took and she has beautiful, classy style. She is SO sweet and easy to work with! We loved having Katie there for our special day! :)
Katie did a wonderful job at our daughter's wedding. She took so many beautiful pictures! She was kind, professional, and very organized. I highly recommend her and plan to use her for future events!
Katie is by far one of the biggest blessings that came about during my wedding season. Her and her husband, Mitchell, and not only extremely professional, but they truly love getting to build personal relationships with their clients. I am so honored to be able to call them my friends. The AMAZING wedding photos don't hurt so bad either ;) From family portraits, engagement photos, and wedding photos, they have done nothing short of amaze me with their skills and love of what they do!
Katie and Mitchell do amazing, beautiful work and are great to work with. Always so responsive to questions and concerns (especially important with a wedding in 2020!). They are also very organized and helped me plan how to set up family photos and have a timeline for the day of my wedding which was very helpful. Finally, they are so easygoing and sweet that you felt super comfortable around them and I think the pictures turned out more natural because of that. I’m also thankful they never asked us to do any awkward poses. They helped take stress off of my plate which made my wedding so much more fun. Would recommend 100x over to anyone!
Katie Jaynes Photography is the picture of professionalism. Mitchel and Katie were so accommodating and easy to work with, for sure. They made certain poses or ideas I had come to life, even making sure a groomsman who lived in England have a picture made with our Rolls Royce going away car. Being in the midst of covid , there were tons of precautions in place but they did everything they could capturing the wedding from start to finish, with all the details that were important to me. Some of my husbands favorite pictures are after the ceremony with the going away Rolls Royce. The bride/groom sunset pictures are so dreamy. Pre ceremony, Katie even had to pin boutonnières on the groomsmen, groom, as well as become a calligrapher to write out ‘let love glow’ for the going away exit. Actually speaking of, my husband’s groomsmen and friends decorated the car we left in from the reception. They even captured that, which is very rare these days. If you are a couple looking for wedding photographers, I recommend Katie and Mitchel! Also, do the bridal portraits. I love mine so much, so I had a hard time deciding which one for a portrait! Our wedding was made all the brighter from the flash of their photography.
Katie Jaynes was the absolute best wedding photographer we could ever ask for! She got the best pictures with so many different poses. I felt that every single moment of our ceremony and reception was captured perfectly. One of my favorite parts was that Katie had some great photos ready to show us during the reception! My family loved seeing them as well. Katie & Mitchell were also rockstars when it came to coronavirus stress. They were very flexible with setting another date and were super comforting throughout the whole process. Luckily, we didn’t have to change our date but did have to change a lot of the family portraits. They did a great job taking portraits of family that was there and made it seem as no family was missing at all!
My husband and I are so thankful that we chose Katie to capture our wedding and would recommend her to anyone!
Katie and Mitch are the best photographers! Not only is their light, airy and beautiful style of photography perfect for how you want your wedding pictures to look, their service and personalization to each couple is unmatched. So many of my friends and co-workers have asked me about the wedding photos, just from the sneak peek! They are stunning!! Katie and Mitch make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and will help you with anything you need. I highly recommend them for your photography needs.
Katie is AMAZING! I seriously can’t say enough great things about her or her work. On day one she sent a super sweet introduction video of herself and that made her seem so personable. Lukas is not one to “enjoy” having his picture taken but our engagement session was so fun for both of us and the pictures turned out perfect. On the day of my bridal portrait session, it rained and we had to reschedule. The day that we rescheduled for was not available for my venue, so Katie had a backup plan and those pictures turned out amazing too! The turnaround for pictures is unreal, by the way, she gets them back to you so quickly. She is so kind and truly cares about her brides! She sends sweet emails and she calls to check on her customers all the time. She worked with us through all of the craziness of the coronavirus which ended up in THREE venue changes and she is so flexible. Seriously, the venue changes didn’t phase her at all. She was determined to be at our wedding no matter what and that was so special to us. She’s down to earth, caring, patient, and is so passionate about her job. I would recommend Katie a million times over! We have grown so close to her and her husband, Mitchel, and they’ve become good friends now - we just love them!💕
Katie Jaynes and Mitchell Jaynes were the ABSOLUTE best photographer team for our wedding. I met with her early on and she exceeded my expectations for the process of working with a photographer. She is an excellent communicator during the engagement period with any and all questions we had and even after our wedding was done. What I really appreciated is that she recognized that there are a lot of expenses involved in a wedding and that first and foremost the most important thing is focusing on the married couple and their future lifelong marriage. She was so kind and she is the kind of person you would be good friends with!! This is important since they will be with you the whole day!
Looking back at all the WONDERFUL photos she and Mitchell took I realized the huge benefit of having two photographers. They were able to capture amazing moments that my husband and I will never forget. I also loved the style of photos she took- the light and airy photos. Looking back my husband and I were able to relive the wedding day with her ability of capturing the story line of the wedding day. Paul and I loved her and I have been recommending her to all my friends and random people I come in contact with! 100% look no further for a wedding photographer. You will not be disappointed with Katie Jaynes Photography.

What a fantastic photographer duo. Katie and Mitchell completely exceeded my expectations! Any picture I had ever imagined, they made real life. They were so pleasant to work with and every person in my bridal party loved them. They were quick and efficient yet the pictures are incredible and show all the emotions of my wedding day. As if all this isn't enough, I got the full wedding gallery within TWO WEEKS after the wedding. You guys rock. Thank you both so much for capturing my day!
Katie and Mitch were wonderful at capturing my wedding day. They are both so sweet and so caring. The pictures are beautiful and I am so grateful for everything they did for us! We got an album and a flash drive with thousands of pictures from our special day that I will look at forever!
Katie and Mitchel are the sweetest couple and their photography is phenomenal! The quality of our engagement and wedding photos are wonderful and I am so glad we chose Katie Jaynes photography for our special day. We now have so many memories to look back on thanks to them. They really captured every part of our day! Katie is also great at getting back to us in a timely manner with answers to any questions or concerns we had! I 100% recommend Katie and Mitchel for all your photography needs! I will be using them in the future :)
Katie and her husband, Mitchel, made our whole wedding photography experience seamless from start to finish. Katie is very prompt and professional with her responses, and she is also very thorough and organized which I very much appreciated as I was planning the wedding without a hired planner. She takes the time to survey your preferences before the wedding and get to know you. On the day of, she really was what kept us on schedule and made sure we got all of the photographs that were important to us. I have a huge family and Katie was very patient! Since the wedding, we got our edited photos back VERY fast (with a sneak peek of a few pictures on the day of the wedding). We have received a jump drive, online gallery, and a fantastic, quality heirloom album (worth any additional cost).
I also would like to mention that my husband and I are not frequent picture takers and Katie posed us quickly and naturally all day. We felt like they were our friends with how comfortable it all was even though we met them day of! I highly recommend Katie Jaynes Photography!!!
Katie and her husband Mitchell are the kind of vendors you hope you find - talented, flexible, reasonably priced, and efficient. I had a small wedding and booked Katie’s elopement package which was only for 3 hours. She was willing and able to stay some extra time at last minutes notice. We do appreciated her flexibility on that front. Their talent is without question - she can shoot you wonderful scenery photos, portraits with fabulous background blur and compressed background shots. And they are all shots that you’d want to blow up and display in your home. Katie’s and Mitchell’s energy is also a wonderful addition for a wedding photographer. They know how to make you laugh but also how to wrangle a room and get everyone into place without ruffling the most sensitive of feathers. On their efficiency what more can I say than that Katie gives you preview shots during your wedding reception!!!! 🤯 I just cannot say enough about the nice photos that Katie produces and the wonderful attitude that she brings to the event.
Katie and Mitchell are more than a husband and wife photo team, they are a dynamic duo or fun and joy that truly enhanced all the beautiful things about our special day. From engagements, to bridals, to shooting the wedding, Katie was always kind, excited, and willing to be more than a photographer, but a huge supporter and friend! I can of recommend them enough. There is no one in the world to match the blessing they truly are!
Katie and her husband were everything we could ask for and more out of a photographer. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. She always had a plan and stayed on top of everything which is something a bride needs on her big day. I highly recommend her for any of your photography needs! Her photos are outstanding!
Katie did an incredible job with our engagement photos, bridal session, and wedding photos. Her style is light and airy and gives such a beautiful touch to all of the photos. She is the utmost professional, timely, and extremely organized. She kept to the timeline during the entire wedding day and my family was so impressed with how smoothly things went while getting family shots. Her photos mean the world to us and the passion she has for her work is so evident in everything she does. We absolutely love Katie and Mitch and would recommend them time and time again!
Katie and Mitchel came all the way to Charleston to photograph our wedding! Out of all of our vendors Katie was by far the most organized, personable and delivered above and beyond. We had over 1,000 images and have beautiful photos of every detail. Plot twist..they even had photos edited and complete during our reception...50 images while we were on our honeymoon and all images less than a month later!They even sent us a goody basket a month before our wedding (which was perfect timing)! Choosing Katie and Mitchel was the best decision I ever made..next to choosing to marry my groom �.
Katie photographed my engagement and she did an amazing job on pictures! I love that they were the light and airy style of photos which are my favorite. Beyond that, Katie is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and made the shoot so much fun. I would recommend her to anyone!!
Katie did a PHENOMINAL job when it came to our engagement/wedding pictures. Her photos are so colorful and crisp, and bring so much joy as you look at them! Her and her husband are so sweet and really take the time to get to know you as a couple. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture this sweet season!
