Some wedding days just stick with you, and this one at The Barn on The Ridge in Burlington, Iowa, was definitely one of them. Watching these two celebrate their love surrounded by their favorite people was such a joy. Between the sweet little glances, genuine laughter, and all those in-between moments, I loved getting to capture a day that felt so perfectly them.
Capturing the love, laughter, and little moments that mean everything, so you can hold onto them for a lifetime
Your day will fly by. Your photographs should bring you right back every time.
Your wedding day is filled with moments you’ll wish you could hold onto forever—the anticipation, nervous excitement, happy tears, quiet glances, and laughter shared with the people who matter most. So much happens within a single day, and every piece becomes part of your story.
My job is to preserve those moments honestly and beautifully, from unforgettable milestones to the little moments happening in between. Long after the flowers fade and celebration ends, your photographs will bring you back to how it felt.

We used Jamie Christensen Photography for both our April engagement session and our November wedding, and we truly couldn’t be happier. Not only were our photos stunning, but their patience, creativity, and willingness to help in every way made the entire experience exceptional. Jamie was wonderful to work with - she offered great ideas for different shots throughout the day and made everything feel effortless. She even delivered a sneak peek within 24 hours, and the photos were incredible! On our wedding day, Jamie and Zach went above and beyond. With how well they kept track of our timeline and helped gather our wedding party, they practically felt like our coordinators. They made sure everyone was where they needed to be and helped the whole day run smoothly. We would HIGHLY recommend Jamie Christensen Photography to anyone looking for a talented, caring, and truly dedicated photography team!

Jamie is an absolute gem to work with and I cannot reccomend her enough! Not only is she an amazing person who is fun to work with but her work is absolutely stunning! She has done several shoots for my family and she does a wonderful job at making us feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens. She gives guidance and ideas but without the awkwardness. Instead, she had us laughing the entire time. Jamie was never rushed and always down try new things or specific shots I desired. She made the process so easy from scheduling to showing up on time and her turnaround time is always as stated or earlier. She goes above and beyond to make it an exceptional experience and to give you photos you will cherish forever. I will be using Family Tree Photography forever!
