White Daisy Photography

Aimee is an amazing photographer. So creative and professional, 2 qualities that don’t usually occur together. Aimee photographed my daughters engagement photos and wedding. Aimee is so organized and did a great job of insuring that all scheduled photos (ceremony, sunset, toasts, garter, cake, etc) were captured. In addition to all of that she was constantly taking candid and posed photos with the wedding guests. I can’t thank Aimee enough, for capturing so beautifully this special day for us. After all at the end of the day all you have are your memories and photographs, and since my memory isn’t as great as it used to be I’m so excited that I’ll always be able to enjoy the day through Aimee’s photos.

Aimee was awesome to work with and also extremely professional. We had booked her to be our photographer for engagement and wedding photos. We live in SF and White Daisy is based in Auburn so we weren’t able to meet face-​to-​face until our e-​session, but Aimee communicated via Skype several types to make sure she captured what we were looking for.
We wanted to have our e-​session done in Napa at a winery she’d never been to and she made all our photos look absolutely stunning. We ended up with 600 – 700 photos just for our e-​session alone and when it came time to make our album, it was very difficult to choose which photos to include because there were so many good shots to choose from. She spent a lot of time with us to make sure we got the photos we wanted (we had taken her to 4 – 5 locations). Aimee spent pretty much all afternoon with us. She gave us a lot of good direction and suggestions on what to do, and where to stand or letting us know if we had flyaway hair or if something looked off.
On our wedding day, Aimee and her 2^nd photographer went above and beyond of what we asked and came into SF the night before in case there was Labor Day weekend traffic because they didn’t want to be late. When our album was put together, and I was looking for certain shots, I found most of them and they did an awesome job getting symmetrical shots (groom’s perspective during ceremony; bride’s perspective) — we never asked for them but realized they had done it while compiling our wedding album and looking for certain photos. All of the photos came out so gorgeous with beautiful colors. Aimee did an awesome job and we ended up with almost 2,000 photos!

I just couldn’t even wait to receive all the thousands of pictures Aimee is editing right now from my wedding to post my review. I have posted a few faves of the ‘teasers’ she posted the day after the wedding.
Now, on to Aimee. [I will let the actual photos speak for themselves because… we’ll you can use your eyes to see the beautiful pictures Aimee captures (classic, fresh, timeless).] After researching, interviewing and meeting with many different photographers, Aimee stood out from the rest.
Why?
(1) Her passion. You know when you hire someone who is passionate about what they do, that they will give you nothing but the best. You will know what I’m talking about the moment you call Aimee or receive a response.
(2) Her package. I interviewed so many photographers who said ‘you’ll get 200 edited photos of your wedding…” I’m sorry…200!?! It may sound like a lot but when you think of it, they take THOUSANDS the night of the wedding… and call me Bridezilla but I WANT TO SEE THEM ALL! (And you will too, trust me.) Aimee edits every since picture she takes and gives them to you– no cap. She believes it should be up to the client to choose his/​her favorite pictures and I would have to agree!
(3) Her knowledge. Aimee is extremely experienced in weddings. This ain’t her first rodeo and you can tell! I was able to talk to Aimee openly and she was able to communicate with my honestly and respectfully about how her product and services differ from other photographers I was considering. She established trust from the get-​go. She had done hundreds of weddings. You pay a little more than your average photographer but you get A LOT MORE.
So, I decided to hire Aimee and I must say, I’m so glad I trusted my instincts because the day of the wedding, she DELIVERED. And not just with the photography (she was literally rolling around in the hay to capture amazing shots of my husband and I, bless her heart) — she acted as the wedding coordinator, 4 bridesmaids, a MOB, and a therapist all in one. Aimee and her assistant bustled my dress when no one else was around. They swapped my veil and placed my hairpiece in. They were cutting threads and fixing my dress. Aimee was literally LIFTING me down the hills so I wouldn’t trip. She even shared personal stories of her own that helped calm me down when drama arose. She was sweet, professional, and went above and beyond what we hired her to do and THANK GOD because the wedding would not have gone as smoothly without her.
[ Aimee– I will NEVER forget what you did for Steve and I last weekend. We cannot stop talking about how you saved the day, and my mom can’t stop saying how sweet you were. (It’s Aimee this and Aimee that ;)) You were simply amazing and I really truly do not know how to thank you enough. I will email you for your address so I can mail your tip. ]

Could not have asked for a better wedding photographer! Not only are both our wedding and engagement photos absolutely stunning, Aimee and her second shooter were beyond helpful throughout our wedding. From bustling my dress, to pinning on the corsages to helping wrangle out less-​than-​stellar DJ, they really went above and beyond. We we’re nervous and thought we would be super awkward taking photos but Aimee managed to make it so easy, natural and fun. She was also incredible organized, helpful and responsive throughout the planning stages. Both my new husband and I agree — she was worth every single penny! We will definitely be recommending her!

Finally getting around to posting a review, even though I should have done it months ago. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Aimee! She photographed out wedding in May and was everything we could have hoped for. From our first meeting with Aimee she made us feel comfortable and we knew we were in good hands. She worked with us to figure out the best options for our budget, and was wonderfully flexible and communicative (we live in Southern California and were getting married in Auburn so all planning was long distance).
Aimee was incredibly organized and thorough, coming to our wedding site in advance to meet with us to scope out picture options and working with us to compile a list of «must have» shots.
On our wedding day, everything ran smoothly because of Aimee. She arrived early and was on top of things from the get-​go. When we arrived at our reception she bustled my dress and was the one that handled communications with our DJ when I needed a break. I don’t know what I would have done without her.
The day after our wedding I was surprised with a taster of few of our wedding photographs already emailed to me, ready to post on Facebook. I was nearly in tears, as they were beautiful and so perfectly captured our day. We received the rest of our photos much more quickly than I had even hoped and we absolutely love them. We were presented with three digital copies of each of our photographs for our convenience for printing and sharing. We received 4“x6″ edits for quick printing, smaller watermarked files for sharing on social media, and full sized files for photo books and larger prints.
I can’t thank Aimee enough for her magnificent work and I wouldn’t at all hesitate to recommend her for wedding photographs!

We are so glad that we choose White Daisy Photography/​Aimee to be our wedding photographer. We have been following her work for several years now and knew without a doubt that when we got married that we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. We even planned our wedding around her schedule because we knew that choosing a great photographer is one of the most important decisions in planning a wedding. Her work on our wedding was so wonderful! Our photographs turned out so beautiful and we have received many compliments on them. She was also great to work with, as well as her second shooter, Heidi. They were both very professional, friendly, organized, timely, and had a great attention to detail. We also appreciate that White Daisy provided us with a great balance of artistic, traditional, and candid photographs from the wedding. I also highly recommend having Aimee take engagement photographs because it gave my husband and I an opportunity to practice taking pictures together and gave us a chance to get to know Aimee and her to get to know us before the big day. We highly recommend White Daisy Photography to anyone looking for a great photographer.

White Daisy Photography/​Aimee was by the best photographer I could’ve asked for. She made the entire process so easy for me especially since I was trying to plan my wedding from out of state. Aimee was easy to work with; she had all the answers for all the questions I didn’t even know I had. On the day of the wedding she went above and beyond to make sure she captured every smile, every laugh and every terrible dance move. That meant the world to me and my family. I appreciate Aimee so very much and would recommend her to anyone.

Aimee photographed our wedding in South Lake Tahoe, CA. She was referred to us through a mutual friend/​photographer since we did not live in the area. We lived in Seattle and did not have a chance to meet prior to the wedding due to our busy schedule. Although we did not meet prior to the big day communicating with her via email and phone I knew she would be able to creatively capture our special day. We meet her hours before the wedding and I instantly felt at ease and excited to work with her. She went above and beyond meeting our expectations. She is warm and wonderful to work with and can delivery beautiful and unique photos. I would highly recommend her to all our family and friends.

Aimee took our engagement and wedding photos. She was very prompt and professional. We really enjoyed the experience and her personality helped make the process relaxing and personal. We would highly recommend her to a friend or family member!!! Thank you!

If I could I would give Aimee 10+ stars! When looking for a wedding photographer I thought it was equally important to love the photographer’s style and to like the photographer. When I met Aimee I immediately knew it was going to be a perfect fit for us. She did both our engagement session and our wedding photos and we couldn’t have been happier with both the pictures and working with her. She was on point, always available, very professional, organized, and more help than just acting as our photographer. She had tons of suggestions, was open to all my ideas, and was a huge help throughout the entire wedding planning process. When I was referred to Aimee by a friend after looking at numerous photographers I knew immediately she was the one for us. Her style is timeless, effortless, and most of all REAL. She captured us in our best moments and nothing ever looked «staged». She has a unique eye for capturing the best photos and had awesome ideas for photo locations. Some of my FAVORITE wedding photos were done in an old cemetery which was Aimee and her assistant shooters’ idea. They were stunning. All of our pictures were for that matter. The additional shooters she had with her were wonderful. They caught every detail I could have ever wanted for our day. I am so pleased and happy with all of our photos. They are memories that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful for Aimee, her talent, and her kindness.

White Daisy photographed my wedding at the Empire Mines in September 2011. She and her assistant photographer were very professional during the entire process including at least two pre-​wedding meetings to ensure she got all the photographs we wanted.
Everyone was impressed with how long the photographers were there and how they seemed to be everywhere at the wedding.
When we got the photographs we were speechless at how wonderful they turned out. She had captured some many beautiful moments it made it very difficult to decide what photos to include in our book.
Her photographs of our guests were so good that many changed their Facebook profile pics to their photos immediately after seeing them.
Great job. If you want to see her wonderful work please contact me

Aimee was so awesome and took so many beautiful pictures at my wedding yesterday. She was my 2^nd shooter and I didn’t get to meet her until the day of my wedding but I felt so comfortable with her instantly — exactly what any bride would hope for in her photographer. The pictures she took were insanely pretty and I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Aimee photographed my sister’s wedding last weekend as well as her engagements. She did an incredible job and was attentive to my sister’s desires and very detail oriented. She was professional and brought with her a sense of calm and trust. It rained (on May 28^th!) and Aimee’s attitude really helped relax my sister and her husband. She was so friendly and just the perfect person to have around on a wedding day. I highly recommend White Daisy Photography. You get a killer deal and a photographer who really cares about your wedding. She also has a fast turn around time. She got my sister’s engagements photos back within a week! Amazing. My family was more than impressed with Aimee.
I should also mention how hard she was working for HOURS! It seemed like she was constantly taking pictures all day. My sister’s wedding «story» won’t be missing a single thing!

I was the minister at a wedding that Aimee photographed. Aimee is my sister, so I had never seen her actually work at a wedding before. I was so impressed with her ability to juggle taking all the different photos in different settings, the schedule, and everything else that photographers have to do at a wedding. She was very clear and communicated well what she wanted each person to do. She was so comfortable and yet incredibly professional. Aimee handled the family of both the bride and groom very well and accommodated everyone. The photos turned out beautiful. I couldn’t have been more proud to see her work, during and after! Aimee is incredibly hard working and passionate about photography. You will not be disappointed with her, in fact, you will be ecstatic!

I was so happy having Aimee photograph our wedding and make beautiful albums for us afterwards! Everybody who sees our photos absolutely loves them. The quality and artistic elements are exceptional!
She is a great listener and cares so much about listening to your personal ideas or vision for your wedding photos (and album too!) and then putting her great talent to work. Aimee was also very accomodating with scheudling times to get together and «practice» with engagement photos. She was creative with helping us loosen up a bit and make things look less stiff and staged, more natural and loving. She was also able to make a personalized price package for us because we had a very small wedding and were also working on a small budget. She was extremeley professional, polite, thoughtful and fun throughout the entire process.
It was a pleasure to just have her at our side during our wedding. I heard of her though a recommendation of a friend of a friend who knew her from high school. I couldn’t have been more thankful for how it all worked out.

Aimee did an absolutely amazing job photographing our wedding at Rancho Soquel in Soquel, CA in August 2010! We originally hired Aimee for two reasons: 1) She uses a Cannon 5D MarkII (top of the line camera) with great lenses (very important to my now husband), and 2) White Daisy’s prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of her work. We looked at a lot of photographers in the Santa Cruz area and beyond, but those with equivalent equipment and quality of work were way beyond our budget. Those within our budget seemed cheesy. Even when including the travel fee from Applegate, CA (near Auburn, CA) where White Daisy Photography is based to Soquel, CA where we were married, she was by far the best value.
From the beginning, we could see Aimee’s passion for photography. We found her on Facebook and through her active posts it was obvious photography is a daily part of her life. She even offered to do a morning after session at Capitola Beach to expand her portfolio. It was freezing, but sooo worth it. Besides her amazing shots and post processing, what I liked the most was her friendly and down to earth personality. It felt like a friend (a very talented friend) shooting our wedding… not too stuffy or in your face. Her husband was her second shooter and did a fine job too. I definitely recommend you check her out! Her facebook page is

Aimee is a wonderful photographer! My husband, Drew, and I are friends with Aimee and her family and we have followed her work online since she started White Daisy Photography. We were thrilled to have her take our wedding photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Aimee’s eye for detail and her sense of each couple’s style make for personalized, special photos that feel unique and professional. We were married in a rural, outdoorsy setting, and we are in love with the pictures that Aimee took because they capture the natural beauty of the location, as well as the wonderful time we and our guests had.
I highly recommend Aimee and White Daisy Photography for any special occasion – your moments will be documented gorgeously and you will be in love!
