YOUR STORY

Natural, True-To-Life Wedding Photos For All Bodies In Love

Image by Ailbhe Flynn
Jaime Weinfeld Zeltzer headshot, owner of JW Designs, luxury wedding planner and photographer

The rest of your life starts today. 

​

The quiet glances. The happy tears. The smiling-so-hard-your-face-hurts. The big and little kisses. The sniffles in your audience. Your partner’s pinky wrapped around yours. 

​

These are the moments that mean the most. These moments are so infused with love and longing that the whole room tingles. And yet, these are the moments that get passed over so quickly in the
rush of your wedding celebration.

​

This is why it’s so important to have a wedding photographer who values the little things. Someone who can capture those moments before they run away. This way, once the music stops and the lights come on, you can remember how you felt as you
took your first steps as spouses. 

​

My commitment as a wedding photographer is to capture exactly who you are. The belly laughs and teary eyes. The bright colors or monochromes. Whatever it is that makes you feel like you! 

​

Your wedding should not be spent trying to please anyone else. You should not pretend to be someone other than yourself. This is YOUR day! This is a day to celebrate your love and commitment. 

​

This is why my priority is to embrace the unique vision
of each of my clients

​

What makes you feel special? Is it a bright pink dress and roller skates? I’ll be there to capture you rolling down the aisle! Is it a private first dance to your favorite artist's oldest album? You won't even notice as I document this precious moment. 

​

You are my highest priority. From the moment we connect online, to meeting in person for your engagement shoot, and - finally! - to your wedding day - I will listen and embrace your craziest wedding ideas. I’ll be there cheering you on with a camera in my hands! 

You are in the right place.

“Absolutely fantastic photos…”


“We showed the pictures to a bunch of people and everyone is raving about how beautiful and creative they are. Thank you for your attention in capturing
(and designing) our special day!”

Untraditional Wedding Photography

for Creative Couples  

If you love to break tradition, embrace unorthodoxy, and get creative,
we’ll get along great.


I work best with couples with a strong creative vision who aren't afraid to take risks. I love working with people who think outside the box and aren’t held back by the latest Instagram trend. 


This is your day. Your life. And your love. 


And I want to capture it exactly as it is!


I believe that love is love, and you shouldn’t have to change or apologize for the way you feel. I will be in your corner from engagement to vows, walking you through this incredible season. Your photographer should make you feel excited and embraced - for exactly who you are! 


It is my greatest honor to capture your love. Your wedding photos will far outlast memories. They will be something for you to cherish and share. They will last for generations, showing everyone that true love really does exist.

Wedding Photography Collections

My favorite part of being a wedding photographer is meeting such unique people.
I love seeing how each wedding reflects the personality of the couple! 

​

Over my twenty years in the wedding industry, I've developed three photography collections.

They each include different hours of coverage so everyone can find a good fit.  

Though the hours are different, the quality and level of attention
are the exact same! 

​

With each wedding photography collection I offer, you will receive:

​

 

An online gallery of wedding photos professionally edited by yours truly

​

High-resolution digital images with a print release - meaning that they are yours to do whatever you want!

​

One wedding photographer with over two decades of experience (That's me!)

​

A private online gallery for viewing, sharing, downloading, and printing

​

An optional flush-mount wedding photo album for an additional $800+, which can be added anytime before your wedding or up to six months after!

FAQS

01

DO YOU DO ENGAGMENT SESSIONS?

YES! Engagement Sessions are the best way for us to get to know each other and for you to practice being in front of a camera in a relaxed and low-pressure setting. No one wants to be camera-shy on there wedding day. 

02

WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU OFFER?

All my collections include a high-resolution digital gallery and print rights. Luxury Wedding or Engagement Albums can be added at an additional fee, depending on the size and finishes. 

03

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?

YES! I love to travel!  Historic small towns are my favortie, but I will take a sunnny beach anyday too. If you can dream it, I can be there! Depending on the location, travel, and hotel accommodations might need to be added to your collection.

04

HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHING OUR DAY?

All my collections include 1 photographer. Additional photographers can be added at a rate of $150/hour with a 3-hour minimum. 

05

CAN YOU PLAN MY WEDDING AND PHOTOGRAPH IT TOO?

YES! When I am your planner and photographer, I automatically bring in an assistant planner to execute the planning moments that as your photographer I cannot do. Primarily this applies to your ceremony since I can't photograph you walking down the aisle and tell you to walk down the aisle at the same time.

It’s your wedding day! You focus on getting married. I take care of herding family members and capturing the magic.

“Jaime I Am Speechless…”

 

“Jaime was gracious, got our personalities immediately, and was a joy to work with. While no words I could use will do Jaime justice, I had to share our most perfect day when we finally became man and wife after two previous failed attempts due to COVID-19. Jaime, I am speechless.

I need to process each picture and thus far

you have captured us perfectly!”

FAQS

WILL YOU PHOTOGRAPHY MY WEDDING IF YOU ARE ALSO PLANNING IT?

Yes! I love photographing weddings that I’m also planning. It gives me an inside look into what’s most important to you on your day. Plus, if I’m planning your wedding, I know exactly what your timeline looks like. 

02
DOES PHOTOGRAPHING MY WEDDING GET IN THE WAY OF PLANNING IT AND VICE VERSA?

Not at all! When I plan and photograph a wedding, I bring in an experienced planning assistant. The assistant will lead you through the details of your wedding day. I'll capture each moment as it unfolds. 

03
HOW DO YOU POSE COUPLES?

I provide natural posing instructions that feel comfortable and realistic. They're little suggestions, like moving your hand or looking in a specific direction. My goal is to make my couples feel confident and natural in front of the camera. I’ll never ask you to do anything formal, stiff, or physically demanding. 

And don’t worry, I’ll always fix your hair, adjust any loose straps, and make sure there’s no lipstick on your teeth!

WHAT IS THE TURN AROUND TIME FOR A FULL GALLERY?

I edit each image myself and return the full wedding photo gallery to you in six to eight weeks!

07

Yes! A two-hour engagement session is included with each of my collections. An engagement session is a great way to get to know each other and introduce you to my photography style. Plus, engagement photos look great on save-the-dates and wedding invitations!

DO YOU OFFER WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY?

I do not, but I am closely connected to several videographers! Schedule a call and we can chat about videographer recommendations.
