About Desert Paintbrush Photography
Desert Paintbrush Photography
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!

Jaymie did a phenomenal job and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made our dreams come true for our engagement. She worked very well with me on a thorough plan, mapped out the spot and timing, and was very professional throughout the entire process. She was well priced for her incredible job that she does. Our photos came out perfectly and many of the we are in love with! All in all, the engagement with Jaymie’s help came out perfectly and I made the soon to be wife very happy. Starting off right with a happy wife for life. I would recommend Jaymie to everyone who needs a fantastic photographer

Jaymie was amazing to work with! I usually don’t like getting my picture taken but she made me feel so comfortable like having a friend around. I highly recommend hiring Jaymie. She exceeded my expectations with how my pictures came out for my wedding!

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!
