Design service tailored to your special event needs
Hi, I'm
Jamey
I love memory making. I’m drawn to the beautiful moments – big and small - that deserve to be memorialized. Sixteen years, marriage, four kids, and 1,000+ weddings and events later, my convictions are stronger than ever. Growing older is a gift. With this privilege come days and moments worth celebrating because they are filled with love and mark our evolution.
Celebrating that which we appreciate records our story and becomes a part of it.
