I can't even describe how great Jamie is. She is such a great photographer. My family has been using her gifted skills for about 5 years now and I aways look forward to see how our photos come out. I've definitely put her to the test by requesting not the norm style sometimes and she always delivers. She is always patient and knows how to get my 9 and 13yr old boys to give a good smile. To anyone in the fence about booking with her .. do it! You wont regret it. The return time with her getting the photos back is pretty quick as well.. with lots to choose from. Jamie Brinkman Photography is the way to go! read more

Jamie is phenomenal! She shot our wedding last week and it was such a wonderful experience! Before the event she took time to meet with and get to know me (since we had already done engagement photos and didn't need an engagement session), and checked in the week prior and ran thru all the details of the day with me. Day of, Jamie is on top of everything! She made the day such a wonderful experience and ran with all the punches, even the inevitable unforeseen hiccups, she was so wonderful to work with, as was her second shooter Shaun. I'm so glad to have worked with her, highly recommend as a wedding photographer!! read more

Not only that, but she got our photos back to us within 2 weeks. I never heard of a photographer getting the pictures back that quickly.

Jamie Brinkman Photography - Here's our 2021 photo shoot in the Los Rios district in San Juan Capistrano - Event Photography Near Me

Book Jamie for your family photo shoot, and you will be so happy you did! She is friendly, reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. She managed to get fantastic photos of all members of my extended family -- 11 in all, including 3 children 3 and under -- in an outside venue. She had suggestions for what we all should wear so we could plan our outfits in advance. She was patient with the children and well-prepared for their waning attention spans or meltdowns with some small toys to distract them. She took photos of every possible combination of family members in multiple poses, so that we now have so many wonderful options for our family album. I would definitely hire Jamie again the next time we need professional photography. read more

Jamie is the best! It was going to rain our original date but she was really flexible and actually reached out suggested waiting a few days for the weather to clear. A few days later jt was sunny and beautiful and we avoided getting soaked. She's really detailed and made us feel we always checked in on us if we're comfortable at certain locations (beach shots over looking the cliffs of Carlsbad). I would definitely use her again for our future family photos! read more

Jamie is the best! Not only is she extremely talented but she is also a wonderful person and made the whole experience so fun. I highly recommend getting your photos taken by her you won't regret it! read more

We could not be more happy with choosing Jamie as our engagement/wedding photographer!!! JAMIE IS AMAZING! We chose to do both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Jamie. I highly recommend doing this because it allows you to get to know her and also she's super talented so you want her to do both photos! Our engagement shoot- Jamie asked lots of questions up front, which was very helpful because she really captured what we wanted. I also liked that Jamie suggested that we walk out into the "wilderness" to get some really cool photos. I highly recommend being open to her suggestions because they will turn out beautiful! Our wedding day - Jamie arrived with her crew and they were all wonderful! I was a bit stressed on the big day but Jamie was the perfect person to have around. One thing I really enjoyed about Jamie is she isn't afraid to give direction. She is very assertive and that is what you need on your wedding day, trying to wrangle family, drunk groomsmen and talkative bridesmaids can be taxing for the bride, but with Jamie, you don't have to worry about this - she will give direction. We just got married on Friday, so I haven't seen all the pictures yet but the ones I have seen are incredible!!! I could rave all day about Jamie, but if I had to sum it all up I would say: Jamie has a true vision and passion for photography, this is HER THING (like she was made for it), she is an extremely talented photographer and you are missing out if you don't hire her for your wedding! read more

My husband and I worked with Jamie on both our engagement and wedding photos and could not have been happier. Jamie is timely, professional, and most important fun! My husband is not big on photos and she was able to get him to loosen up and enjoy the moment. A huge quality that I was looking for when deciding on our wedding vendors were those who were reliable and consistent. Each time Jamie gave me a timeline she kept it and was always communicating with me throughout the planning and editing process. I have friends who have waited 6 months for their wedding photos. We had a sneak peek the next week while on our honeymoon and all of our edited photos within only 8 weeks. They're absolutely gorgeous and I've received so many compliments on them. I seriously can't imagine anyone better to capture our special day. I'm truly impressed by my overall experience with Jamie and will be recommending her to all of my friends. My husband and I definitely plan to continue working with her for maternity and family photos in the future. read more

We all loved all of Jamie's photos and plan to hire her again in the future. read more

Jamie is the best! My husband and I chose to work with her after receiving a glowing referral from one of our good friends. We worked with Jamie for our engagement photos and wedding - she did such an incredible job! Not only is she a very talented photographer, she is an amazing person and now friend. She is extremely accommodating to her clients and always wants to make sure that they get the service that they expect. If something is wrong, she will make it right. If you need help finding other vendors, she will send you recommendations. If you're not sure of what to wear, where to shoot... literally anything, she doesn't hesitate to help. She is always honest, thoughtful and is very open to client feedback. Jamie truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. We will certainly be working with Jamie in the future, and absolutely recommend her! read more

Absolutely love Jamie and her work! We booked her to shoot our engagement photos and immediately felt comfortable with her. She loves to try out different shots and angles. We took photos all around San Clemente and loved it all. We then had her for our wedding, which went so well. She was on time, ready to go and with a second photographer. She helped guide us through the day snapping photos all along (from getting ready, to limo ride, walking down the aisle and reception). She is sweet, caring, funny, professional talented and worth every penny. She puts in the extra effort and details to making you so special. I have her locked down for any of my future photography needs. Love her! read more

Jamie B is an all-around amazing photographer. Not only does she take incredible photos and is great at capturing all the right moments, she's very easy to work with. She's also very responsive, easy to get a hold of, and is accommodating. Maybe most impressive is she did a remarkable job at handling our groomsmen who can be a bit out of control. Jamie is also very efficient. Since she never had shot a wedding at our venue, she did a great job of picking out the various backgrounds for our different shots by arriving early and surveying the entire country club, so that when picture time came for our wedding party, no time was wasted picking out where we were going to take the shots. She also did a great job at planning out the timeline for the day of the wedding based on our ceremony start time. We had the perfect amount of time to get in all the wedding party photos before the ceremony without feeling rushed. Jamie also brought her assistant, also named Jamie, who everyone also loved. She also did an amazing job dealing with our nutjob groomsmen. Jamie also published a sneak peak of the wedding photos less than a week after the wedding, which all our friends and family loved being able to see so quickly after the wedding. Both my husband and I are so happy we chose Jamie B to capture our big day. We highly recommend her for anyone in So Cal getting married! And once we start having kids, we can't wait to have family photo shoots with Jamie! read more

I am SOOOO lucky and happy that I found Jamie! She has done several weddings for my family and friends, as well as family portraits, boudoir, and engagement shoots. Everything I have ever seen has been nothing short of stunning! And now that I'm getting married myself, I've happily and eagerly hired Jamie to handle all of my photography needs! We just got back our Engagement Photos and we couldn't be happier! She found a way to not only make my apprehensive fiance totally comfortable with being photographed but she captured our fun and loving personalities in every picture. She really has a special gift. I've just done my boudoir shoot as well.... Jamie really knows how to make you feel extremely comfortable! She showed me photos throughout the shoot to show me how gorgeous they were turning out. I can't wait to get them all back!! I feel so blessed to have Jamie as my PERMANENT photographer from now on! I can't wait to see how beautiful our wedding pictures turn out! Seriously, you won't find a better photographer than Jamie! read more

As many of the other reviews remarked, Jamie's fun and kind personality made our engagement photo shoot fly by and put us at ease. We have some of the most amazing photos in our engagement album. From the moment we met Jamie, we knew she was the one for us. Jamie went above and beyond getting over 600 photos with 4 different outfits and locations. We look forward to our wedding day for another book full of memories. 5 Star Service Highly recommended read more

Jamie was so wonderful to work with on our wedding, and my wife and I could not be happier with our photographs. She and her assistants were friendly and did a great job making us comfortable, relaxed, and fun. Jamie has a great eye and captured some beautiful photos from our ceremony and reception. I have been particularly pleased with some of the pictures from the dance floor, getting to see all of the happy and laughing faces. On top of that, the cute little basket that Jamie sent afterwards was too perfect. I've got a little fold-out booklet of pictures sitting on my desk at work now. We are thrilled with everything and truly cannot thank Jamie enough. read more

I can't recommend Jamie B. Photography enough! She did an incredible job on our engagement and wedding photos! Jamie is enthusiastic, energetic, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Everybody at our wedding raved about her! I really couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding photographer.

Jamie B. is, hands down, one of the most talented photographers that I have ever seen. Not only does she make everyone feel comfortable, she has a eye unlike anyone else.

Jamie did our family Christmas pictures. She is amazing to work with, and her work is even better! She knows what shots will look great, and as goofy as some may feel, you will be thanking her in the end when you get your CD of images and see how awesome they are! Also, my daughter was 13 months for the pictures, working with children definitely is something she has a knack for, we got smiles in about every picture of her! read more

Jamie was absolutely amazing to work with during our engagement session, wedding planning, wedding and after. Jamie's quality of work was better than we could have imagined. We are so happy with our over 1,300 pictures and got them back within a couple months. She did a great job instructing people to get the shots she needed quickly but also stepping back to capture raw emotion. Jamie was fun to work with and has a great attitude. She was one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning and we will always cherish her work! read more
