About Desert Paintbrush Photography

Desert Paintbrush Photography

Photographer & Local Wedding Teammate

I help couples create and document unforgettable wedding experiences in some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the West. With years of experience photographing elopements and weddings in the Sierra and the Southwest, I know these places like the back of my hand. Whether you're drawn to the alpine lakes and rugged peaks of Mammoth or the towering red rock cliffs of Zion, I’ll help you navigate every detail—finding the perfect ceremony spot, timing your day for the best light, and even pivoting plans if Mother Nature throws us a curveball.

My approach is all about keeping things stress-free and meaningful. I don’t just show up with a camera—I’m here to guide you through the process, from location scouting and permit advice to creating a wedding timeline that actually lets you enjoy your day. No stiff posing, no rigid shot lists—just real, candid moments that capture the essence of your love and the adventure you’re on together. If you want a photographer who’s as excited about your wedding day as you are—and who will go the extra mile (sometimes literally) to make it all feel effortless—let’s chat.

    Amazing experience with Jaymie!

    Desert Paintbrush Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was efficient, caring, and invested from start to finish. The quality of their work was simply beautiful, capturing the natural moments in a personalized way. Jaymie and Jr made us feel so comfortable and we had a blast with them at our wedding - they were authentic, fun, and engaging throughout the entire process. We will cherish the photos they provided forever, as they added so much to our special day.

    You'll want to book Jaymie ASAP!

    I've had the pleasure of being photographed by Jaymie and working alongside her as an assistant photographer. As a couple, my husband and I were super comfortable in front of her camera. She made us feel at ease despite the freezing temperatures. As a fellow wedding vendor, I've seen first hand the care she brings to her work. She is kind and energetic with her clients, well-organized on otherwise chaotic wedding days, extremely knowledgeable of the Eastern Sierra, and an amazing photographer!

    This is our third time having the fortune of Jaymie taking our family photos in June Lake. Jaymie is a photography angel - incredibly talented, efficient (which is appreciated with young children!), and fun. She makes the whole process, from start to finish, easy (communication, helps pick beautiful locations, easy website for printing photos). She is wonderful with our kids, and has a lighthearted, approachable nature that keeps the shoot comfortable and low pressure. We are so grateful for Jaymie and will continue to work with her for years to come!

    We chose Jaymie as a photographer for our wedding since we admired her ability to capture both incredible nature and people. She delivered! Our favorite pictures from that day balance us, the people we care about, and the beauty of the Eastern Sierras. We particularly enjoyed our sunset pictures, but she also went above and beyond to capture memorable pictures across the entire day. On top of being a great photographer, she was super fun to work with! Neither of us feels comfortable in front of a camera, but Jamie’s guidance, peppy personality, and perspective helped take that stress off! If we could go back in time and replan our wedding day, we would choose Jaymie again 100%!

    Jaymie was so much fun to work with and really helped make our day so special. She was super easy to feel comfortable around and helped direct us for photos as well, especially since we don’t usually like being the center of attention. I would easily recommend her to anyone he needs a fun photographer!
