Jamie Stow Photography LLC 
Rating: 4.9 (15 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Hockessin, DE

We're Jamie & Zoey! We met in 2016 in art school when Zoey asked Jamie to be her partner for a project. We quickly became close friends and the rest is history... In the summer of 2023 we joined forces again, working together to capture you and your love story! Jamie's photography journey started back in high school with a love for film photography before heading to art school where she majored in photography. After graduating in 2020, she began photographing weddings for larger studios before starting her own studio. In 2023, Zoey left her 9-5 and joined the studio full-time focusing on both photo and video creation.

“I truly cannot say enough good things about Jamie Stow Photography. We found Jamie at the VERY last minute after my cousin posted in the PhilaQueens Facebook group looking for a photographer for our wedding — which was only about a week away. I reached out to Jamie, explained our unusual timeline and that neither my husband nor I had ever had professional photos taken before, and from the very beginning she was incredibly kind, flexible and helpful. I initially thought we only needed 1–2 hours of coverage because I genuinely had no idea what we needed. Jamie took the time to look over our wedding-day timeline, helped us figure out how to make the most of our time, suggested when to do our first look and family photos, and made sure we had enough coverage so that nothing felt rushed. I was also very upfront that my husband had given me a pretty firm budget to work with, and Jamie was incredibly accommodating and worked with us to come up with something that fit what we needed and what we were comfortable spending. On the wedding day, Jamie was AMAZING. We told her right away that we had absolutely no idea how to pose and were giving her full creative control, and I’m so glad we did. She directed us through everything, found different areas around the property for photos, gave us little instructions that made such a difference, and somehow made two people who aren’t used to being photographed feel completely comfortable. What impressed me even more was how effortlessly they handled our families. Both my husband and I have separated parents with significant others, siblings, a four-month-old daughter, and a whole wedding party that we were constantly moving in and out of photos. Jamie somehow remembered EVERYONE’S names and relationships almost immediately. She was directing people by name, remembering who belonged with which side of the family, swapping parents and siblings in and out, and keeping everything moving without it ever feeling chaotic. I genuinely don’t know how she did it!! And then we got our entire edited gallery only 13 DAYS after our wedding!! The gallery itself was beautifully organized into sections for our first look/couple photos, getting ready, family & wedding party, and ceremony. Most importantly, we absolutely LOVE our pictures. Jamie captured our day so beautifully, and looking through them genuinely brings us right back to it. To think we almost didn’t hire a professional photographer at all and then somehow found Jamie about a week before our wedding feels incredibly lucky. She went above and beyond from the moment I messaged her until the end of our wedding day. I would recommend Jamie without hesitation, and I’m already hoping we can find an excuse to book her again for family or holiday photos. Thank you, Jamie, for giving us these memories forever. We are so grateful we found you!”

Our coordinator was there the entire day and jumped in to help whenever we had questions or needed something adjusted. They also took our dietary restrictions seriously and went out of their way to make sure all our guests with allergies were taken care of.

“Working with these two for our wedding was such a pleasure at every step along the way. From the beginning, they asked us all the right questions to help achieve the vibe we were looking for from pre-ceremony emotional string tunes until the dance floor opened up for the reception. Bryan is an awesome DJ and took our extensive Spotify playlist and turned it into some real dance floor heat for us and our guests. I like to think he had as much fun mixing and we all did dancing (so many of our guests approached us afterwards with comments about how great the music was too)!! And Andrew's professionalism and coordination helped make the day all that much smoother for us. They were both prepared, capable, and excited to be a part of our day! Any time we host another event that calls for a DJ/MC, Andrew and Bryan will be at the top of our list.”

“CT Artistry was a wonderful beauty professional for my wedding day. Communication with them was great - they were down to earth and enjoyable to chat with, always having an answer for my questions. The quality of their work and value was awesome - all my bridesmaids loved the style and application. CT Artistry brought a happy, fun vibe while making us look naturally beautiful. Their talents contributed smiles and confidence as we commemorated the special day.”

“Getting married at the Christiana Hilton was a great decision. We loved the smaller ballroom so we could have an intimate wedding. The ceremony space, ballroom and hotel in general was beautiful. The food was delicious and we keep getting compliments from our guests. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well and that food was awesome as well. It was so convenient to arrive Friday afternoon and not have to leave until Sunday. And Katie made it so much easier than I expected. I did not want a venue where I had to do all the work and Katie made it so I did the bare minimum a bride can do and still got a beautiful and personalized wedding. It was a perfect day and weekend!”
