“Where do I start? She, of course, is an amazing photographer but that doesn’t even scratch the surface! She will become your number one cheerleader, the best helper in all things wedding, and become one of your greatest and truest friends. We did all things with her from engagement shoot (I sent her inspo pics and she captured our love), to a boudoir shoot (she hyped me up, and helped me get the best poses for my body type), to bridals and first looks (came all the way to our neck of the woods and exceeded all expectations) and lastly with our wedding (which she did ABOVE AND BEYOND EVERYTHING). She is the best photographer for her photos but I can’t stress this enough that I met her during our engagements and she is the purest most genuine human out there. She will do everything and anything you ask for, help rein crazy uncles, jump in the water for the perfect photo, take shots with you, celebrate you, laugh with you, cry with you, and take THE BEST PHOTOS FOR YOU!!!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”

“We hired Jayde to be our wedding photographer and it was honestly a dream come true. I have been following Jayde’s work basically since she started and have always been obsessed. When my husband and I got engaged in 2020 we set our wedding date for 2022 and I thought it would be long shot to hire Jayde for our day because we were getting married In Flathead Lake, Montana. Jayde lives about 6 hours away from Flathead but I knew I wanted to at least try. I reached out to her THE DAY I locked down our venue and date and she responded “OMG YES!!!! I WILL LITERALLY TRAVEL ANYWHERE!!! Let’s do it!!!!!!” The genuine enthusiasm made me know I instantly made the right decision of someone to capture our day. We had a very long engagement and throughout it I would send Jayde updates on details, timeline, and dress photos. I constantly got hit with that same level of infectious enthusiasm. On our wedding day Jayde made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. The absolute biggest hype man and someone I don’t think I could have done my day without not just for her talent but the constant reassurance and easing of day of anxiety. We are so absolutely in love with all our photos. I don’t know how to explain it but she somehow was able to capture our love and personality they way we feel it towards each other our family, and our friends . You can see the joy and love as if we are reliving the moment in real-time . When I say we love these photos I don’t think that accurately describes it. We couldn’t love them more and be more thankful Jayde was the one who photographed the best day of our lives. If you are looking for not only a photographer but a lifelong hype woman that is just the best type of soul JAYDE is your girl! I would chose Jayde a million times over!!”

Fun facts

What do you consider your style to be?

My style is true-to-tone and slightly retro with a film like vibe that really emphasizes nostalgic feelings and story telling.

What are your favorite kinds of couples to work with?

I love laid back, easy going couples who are beautifully in love with each other! I am VERY MUCH an inclusive photographer. I love un-traditional couples with a sweet spot for cussing, drinking, and tattoos!

Do you travel for clients? If so, where?

Yes yes and uh YES! I travel worldwide for my clients and I've recently shot in Mexico, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, and any national park you can think of!

What is your favorite part about a wedding?

I love being involved in my couples love story, even if that means dancing our booties off together or just chillin in a boat on a lake. I really become besties with my clients, and their wedding is just as much a party for me as it is for them!
