Welcome, and congrats! I know how overwhelming wedding planning can be. I'm here to enhance your wedding experience. I’ll document the details, the venue, and the environment, but most importantly, I will be there to photograph the emotions felt during that whirlwind of a day. My life goal is to collect memories and not things, so I’ll be present… your memory collector on one of the most intimate days of your life! I'm based in Western Maryland but travel all over for big weddings and small.
Give it to me raw. I want you to be real with me so I can convey your relationship dynamic through portraits. I look for weddings that are intimate and couples that are full of personality. I have a knack for making my couples feel comfortable enough to just let go and be themselves. For me, photography is all about capturing connections and authentic moments that happen between loved ones.
Sound intimidating? It’s not! That’s my job. Feel awkward in front of the camera? I've got you. I will take you by the hand and show you what I mean.
I’m a wedding professional who cares about your wedding experience, so not only do you have a wedding photographer on hand, you’re also hiring someone who knows weddings. I'm not afraid to jump in if you need it and back off to let the day unfold. My main focus is telling the story and being an observer of your day, so you can relive those moments again and again.
You want to remember this magical day and all the elements that made this day special. My style is documentary overall but directive where needed. We'll discuss what's most important to you to tailor to your vision.
I'm a straight shooter and like to make this simple. These are sample wedding collections. You're not square, so I won't put you in a box. You're able to create a custom package and all will include a planning consult, an online gallery, and unlimited downloads of your images. Add ons include an engagement session, a second photographer, or an album.
Any package can be customized with extra time, an additional photographer, and a curated selection of albums and printed images.
Photography has been my full time job for 8 years. Prior to
I taught Chem + Bio. Kind of a science nerd over here.
You don't NEED anything but air, water, shelter... but seriously, this is like a practice run. If you're nearby, let's do it. If you're not feeling it, that's okay too. I want you to be happy.
I live outside Cumberland, Maryland and Deep Creek Lake.
I love to travel anywhere and everywhere. Just ask!
I'll send a quote once we chat so you can see all your options.
Talk it over and figure out what you need. Then, we sign an agreement. Typical deposit for a full wedding is $1000. We can also discuss payment plans. Easy peasy!

“Jacqie is so talented and definitely the photographer you want for your wedding! My sister hired her for her wedding in Deep Creek MD and to say she is incredible is an understatement. She was professional, funny, creative, and prepared for anything and everything.

“Wow. I cannot say enough about Jacqie. She showed up to my wedding , and I felt like I knew her my whole life. She was so easy to get along with. Jacqie followed me around all night helping bustle my dress that kept coming undone and came to the rescue with a bridesmaid dress malfunction. BOOK HER RIGHT NOW!”

“Jacqie is the best, hands down! She got my never smiles for a picture husband to be extremely comfortable around the camera. Jacqie captures the best in the moment photos that mean so much more than a cheesy smile or pose. My husband kept saying 'I just love Jacqie'. We recommend her 1000 times over. ”
