Designing Intentional,
Bespoke Weddings for
Unorthodox Lovers


Meet Jaime
Hello, friends!
Welcome to JW Designs, home of Michigan’s most intentional, personalized wedding planning and photography.
​
Here, there is no such thing as cookie-cutter weddings. I am all about you - your story, your love, and your vision for your wedding. Everything I do is individually crafted and specifically tailored to you and your partner.
​
My name is Jaime. I’m a luxury wedding planner and photographer, a huge fan of all things creative, an absolute theatre nerd, and a fierce advocate for creating safe spaces to celebrate love.
​
I grew up in the wedding industry. Literally. My parents owned a banquet hall for 17 years and strongly believed in the “all hands on deck” approach to life. So at six years old, I was helping brides get dressed the morning of their wedding. By the time I was ten, I was fully coordinating weddings, from the morning brunch to the reception.
​
So, when I say the wedding industry is my whole life, I mean my whole life.
​
This is good news for you! There is very little I have not seen happen at a wedding. For example, I have seen:
-
Torrential downpours in the middle of a ceremony
-
A Bride’s dress split down front and back (good thing I know how to sew!)
-
Centerpieces missing from random reception tables
But do you know what else I’ve seen?
​
I’ve seen the absolute magic that permeates a room when lovers lock eyes from down the aisle. I’ve seen irrepressible joy on the faces of the people present. I’ve seen happy tears and heard the most tender vows.
​
When I design, plan, and photograph a wedding, I do all the work beforehand so you and your love can be fully present. My main objective is to eliminate stress, frustration, and distractions so you can spend each moment soaking in the celebration of your love.
“You allowed us to fully relax
and enjoy every moment…
Jaime! Wow! I can’t sing you enough praises. Your coordination made the day. We are so grateful to have had you there. You allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment.
It was perfect!

It’s Not Just “One Day.”
It’s the Most Exciting Season of Your Life.
Everyone asks me if hiring a wedding planner is necessary. Honestly, no. You do not need a wedding planner or coordinator. You absolutely can design, plan, and coordinate your own wedding. You can spend this precious season of engagement stressed by timelines, deadlines, and in-laws' expectations.
​
But if that's the experience you wanted for your wedding day, you wouldn’t be reading this.
The truth is, you don’t want to stress about your wedding. You don’t want to stress about anything - especially not the most important day of your life! Your wedding should be full of joy and laughter, not frustration.
​
Maybe you’re scared that if you let someone else get involved, you won’t have the wedding of your dreams. Maybe you’ve been planning this day since you were a child, and you’ve dreamt of every detail.
I promise you, this is your day.
​
And you will never find someone more dedicated than I to crafting each unique detail to match your vision.



MY VALUES
01
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE
A luxury wedding is about more than a price tag. It’s about the experience and the way you feel. I treat all of my couples with the utmost respect and listen closely to their desires, needs, and fears.
​
This is your wedding day. I’m simply honored to be a part of it. Through each step of the wedding planning process, I promise to communicate clearly, effectively, and respectfully. I deliver only high-quality products and recommend vendors whom I know and trust.
02
AUTHENTICITY
Your wedding is designed to celebrate you, your love, and what makes it so special. This is the time to express your deepest joy and celebrate in a way that makes you feel good. Wear clothes that make you feel like your truest self! Include colors that make you happy! No request is too big or small if it will help you feel like your most authentic self.
03
CREATIVITY
Traditions and trends shouldn’t dictate what you want for your wedding. Be creative! You are not limited by what people have done before you or what you see on social media.
​
This goes for every single aspect of your big day. Your wedding dress doesn’t need to be white. It doesn’t even have to be a dress! Your venue doesn’t need to be a hotel or church. You don’t need to cut a cake.
​
Do what you love, no matter how far out of the box it feels.
04
PERSONALIZATION
Bespoke. Made-to-measure. One-of-a-kind. Intentional. Individual.
These words describe my approach to wedding design, planning, and photography. Everything - from the wax seal on your invitations to the song you walk down the aisle to - represents your love.
05
TRANSPARENCY
I don’t keep secrets. Everything I offer, from the initial investment to the planning process, is shared openly and freely. This is your wedding day. To create an experience you love, you need to be transparent with me. You need to share your biggest dreams and greatest fears. It is only fair that I am transparent with you, too! Nothing I do is hidden.
