GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER
I think the sum of a damn good life is equal parts family, friends, and the experiences we share with them. For me, this is why weddings are so cool - they celebrate the formation of your new family unit with your closest circle. Through it all, you and your fiancé found your way to each other in this crazy, rapid world and now you’re in it together. The possibilities for building a rich life together are endless. And how awesome that I get to photograph those very first moments as a family?
Beyond that, my photography style is deeply rooted in my film school past. I live for visual drama and, when possible, shoot directly into golden, magic hour light. Whether I’m capturing a portrait, family formal, or a candid snap, my style guides me to look for gestures, moments and reactions, and pockets of stunning light. I approach the day from start to finish with a sharp eye for both posed photos and capturing the vibrant, unpredicted moments we all love at weddings. I’m a people person and make it my mission to capture images you can fall in love with for years to come while making you crack a smile, or making your parents laugh. I want you to fall in love not only with your photos, but also with your experience.
In my down time, you can find me kickboxing, killing it in a Zumba class, or taking weekend trips up the Hudson Valley. I'm genuinely excited for all my couples and capture the day laughing and smiling with them and I hope we can do the same!
"My husband and I were able to enjoy every moment of our day, and Jamerlyn was able to capture it all - always helpful, looking out for what we wanted, and constantly displaying tact and grace. When we look back on all those moments from the day, we can't help but tear up from the love we feel emanating from every photo, of us as a couple, and from our family and friends there."
- Olivia & Will
"Jamerlyn was an absolutely ideal photographer for our special day...I fell in love with her work the first time I saw it and loved how she captured such intimate moments organically and with so much warmth...All of our family and friends commented on how much they loved working with her and being around her at the wedding - and now they won't stop commenting on how beautiful the photos are!"
- Kayla & Charles
"Jamie was wonderful. She was extremely responsive and answered all our questions...On the day of I didn’t have to worry about poses. Jamie guided my husband and I naturally and with helpful tips. Our photos came out beautifully and we are so glad we picked Jamie for our wedding day."
- Jenna & Michael
"Jamerlyn was the best person we possibly could have had for our wedding. She was clear about her expectations of us and met all of our expectations of her. She wasn't fazed by wedding-day hiccups and helped to keep our timeline on track. The photos she delivered are beautiful and are a cherished keepsake of a pretty awesome day."
- Wendy & Chris

engagement sessions
Engagement sessions are wonderful opportunities for you and your spouse-to-be to have your first professional portraits captured!
The romance of being engaged. The anticipation of committing yourselves to one another in the near future. The intimacy of just the two of you strolling and stopping for photos with no one else around. All of these things make engagement sessions an incredibly unique experience.
Whether you're planning on displaying these images at your wedding, in your home, or preserving them with an engagement album, engagement sessions capture a very special time in your life before you say "I do." As a Connecticut-based wedding and engagement photographer, I'm always thrilled to work with couples to find the right location for their session. Low-key and casual? I have a recommendation for that! Luxurious and glamorous? Fantastic! Romantic and beachy? Amazing! I make sure I provide suggestions based on my experience on what to wear, what time of the day is best, and recommendations for various locations throughout Connecticut, New York City, and beyond.
We love your work! How do we book you for our date?
Amazing! I can't wait to work together! As soon as you decide, email me so I can check if I have the date available. We'll work together to select the best package for your day and I'll send a quote for your review. A signed agreement and retainer must be returned to lock in your date.

When will we get our photos?
I'm thrilled to deliver all final, edited wedding images within 8-12 weeks! Engagement sessions are ready for viewing within 2-3 weeks.
faq
Do you work with a second shooter?
It depends! When we talk about your timeline for the day and coverage, we'll discuss whether a second shooter is really necessary for your needs. I've shot extraordinary coverage as a solo shooter and I've worked with incredible second shooters. Each wedding is unique and it really depends on timeline and coverage.
faq
Do you bring an assistant to your weddings?
Yes! Bringing an assistant allows me to be 100% focused on capturing images my couples will love. My assistant does not shoot during the day and does not come at an additional cost.
