Sound good?
Well then, you're in the right place!
DIY looks something like this
Not knowing if your big investment is worth it
(Will the flowers be photographed with love?)
A gallery delivered electronically with no time, idea, or knowledge of how to get them printed to actually enjoy!
Trusting "uncle Bob" with your most important memories
Having someone just "show up and shoot" with no quality guarantee
Crushing it looks like this
Having someone that is on your team and will capture everything from the flower girl to grandma crying
A complimentary ordering consultation to help choose the display worthy printed images for your walls and/or an album to outlast your annual phone upgrade
Bringing a trusted friend to document the biggest day of your life and the start of your best adventure
Individualized attention and a beautiful experience from engagement to wedding, and beyond
now it's your time to shine.
I will capture...
1. the creative styles and romantic escapades of adventurous souls and wild spirits
2. the raw, organic moments of your love story
3. the joy + beauty in your life for future generations because time is fleeting and memories are what matters most
4. authentic + carefree moments of beautiful relationships in uncommon places.
I start at True North: who you are and who you love.

"Jailyn is literally the best photographer I have ever worked with.... She knows what to say to make you get the best pictures you need. She has great advice when it comes to wardrobe and locations as well. She even has a make up artist. She has done my engagement shoot, my head shots and now we're going to work on more stuff together. I love her so much."
"When it comes to Jailyn’s photography, personality, & skill, one word....... DOPE!! She’s super sweet, very talented, & very knowledgeable about photography. From the very first step until the photo session day Jailyn offered help in every way. I worried about location until the photos session & Jailyn assured me that they would turn out great & my pictures turned out better great & I couldn’t be happier with the final result! Book her!"

"Our homecoming photos are absolutely beautiful. They capture every single emotion that can only be talked about if in person. I am absolutely speechless and in love with every single one of them. In each photo, there is happiness, smiles, and such beautiful angles taken. "

frequently asked questions
* What is an intimate wedding
All of the gorgeous details, delicious food, champagne, fabulous wedding planner, jaw-dropping venue and ALL the love. Smaller guest list, 40 guests or less to witness this truly exceptional union.
Less stress = Care-free and Intentional day
* Will I hurt anyones feelings if I don't include them?
Maybe! I promise to always be honest and kind. The truth is, your great-Aunts best friends daughter may be (for whatever reason) expecting an invitation. It's important to remember that they may get to attend another wedding as a guest. You however, are having a once-in-a-lifetime experience and deserve to have your dream for this day come true.
* Should I just stick with the cheapest or included venue photographer?
Sure, you can roll the dice on who you entrust your greatest investment and memories into. People do it all the time. People also frequently cry (not tears of joy) because the one person that was with them for the entire day was careless, unkind, or just didn't truly care about the magic of the day. With me, you know that I know that it's a life changing kind of day! An epic love story deserves to be honored and treated with all the love and reverence as the commitment you're making.
Details of the rings, flowers, shoes, and every other beautiful detail you chose, all deserve to be documented. Images of you getting ready as well as your chosen details help to tell the story of your day. Not to mention the ceremony, couples portraits, and any celebration afterwards. This takes time. I'm here to tell your whole story, because it's a good one!
* What's included in my photography package?
Ready to book? Yes friend! I'm delighted to be by your side on such an important day! I'll be here for you and provide you with:
- an engagement guide (because you want the whole love story to be told)
- a free consultation to discuss locations, ideas, and how you want your day to feel
- I will even create a coordinate with your wedding planner, reach out to your florist and hair and make-up artist to ensure we work as a team to preserve the story of your day.
All the details
Let’s have some fun.

“I was literally in tears looking at them because we’ve never had anything like this. After we lost everything in the hurricane, it really showed us how important it is to capture moments like these! Jailyn, these are stunning!!!!! I am literally in shock. Thank you so much they couldn’t have been more perfect!!!!! So happy to have these for the rest of our lives!”

"For a second session: Our beach session, I couldn’t stop smiling. Jailyn captured our silly girl in every single photo and I love the candid - ness of everything. It looks natural, happy, and again beautiful lighting/angles. Every single photo, we smiled and giggled looking at our daughter and that is just who she is 24/7. I’m sooo happy jailyn was able to capture her. ❤️”

Jailyn did a fabulous job on our photoshoot! We wanted a low-stress, relaxed experience that would give us great pictures and that’s exactly what Jailyn delivered. She took the time to get to know us and then guided us through the photo session so that it was fun and natural, not awkward. She was punctual, professional, and a warm, kind person. We are thrilled with the beach sunset photos we got! Highly recommend her.
