Going the extra mile for my couples & my spooky content. After all, you didn’t expect me to jump into a body of water just for my ceremonies… did you?
Have a Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 👻

11/01/2024

In October of 2024
Officiant Jimmie posted 13 days of spooky content
around various parts of Oregon
expressing his love for Halloween…
Here’s actual footage of him getting lost on an elopement.

11/01/2024

They were two lovers… standing on the edge of a promise, bound by the thrill of a future yet unwritten. Eloping, they call it—a word that holds the allure of rebellion, the danger of freedom. Their hearts beat as one, synchronized to the hum of the engine that carries them away from the familiar and into the unknown.

But there’s something they can’t quite hear over the rushing wind, something just beyond the veil of darkness. It whispers from the shadows on the roadside, where time stands still and reality folds in on itself. They see a signpost flickering in the moonlight, one they don’t remember passing before. It reads, “You Are Now Leaving Everything You Know.”

What they don’t realize is that their journey isn’t merely a passage through geography, but a crossing into a place where the rules of the world unravel. Where love and fear walk hand in hand, and every decision carries a price. They think they’ve outrun the expectations and disapproving glances left behind. But here, in this twilight space between choices, they’re about to discover that you can’t escape what you carry within you.

They’ll soon find that eloping was just the beginning—a beginning that brings them face to face with the dreams they never dared to speak… and the nightmares they never wanted to know. Because in this place, love isn’t measured by distance traveled or secrets shared, but by the shadows that stretch long behind you.

Yes, they’re eloping, all right. Running toward a future that waits beyond the horizon. But somewhere along the way, they’ve taken a detour. Into the Twilight Zone...

One shot of REDRUM is the perfect way to end a ceremony.

Hello… do you want to play a game?
The choice is yours to hire an officiant who can help you put all the Jigsaw puzzle pieces together to plan your perfect day.

The Unity Candle…
An auspicious tradition on the representation of a fire that burns for another. Two flames becoming one united fire and bringing the power of a “Twin Flame”. The passion for your other burning bright, burning proudly, burning purely. The light you use to guide you, in all where you go. Carry your light with you this weekend my friend. There are spooky things bumping in the night…

11/01/2024

The legend lives on and and the candy is plentiful…
Not to overshare here but- I LOVED THE NEW CANDYMAN! I think the original was great don’t get me wrong, but the new (2021) is genuinely one of my all time favorite horror movies. As a BIPOC man that movie spoke to me in an honestly deeeeeeeep way. Give it a watch and say the name.

Get you an officiant who will help you Purge those unwanted guests.

Me when I’m waiting to hear back from a potential couple.

11/01/2024

Whether the weather is hot,
or whether the weather is cold,
you’ll be TETHERED,
whatever the weather,
whether you like it or not.
Tying The Knot is fun you guys!
These photos was inspired by Jordan Peele’s movie, Us. The last picture is the photo pose I recreated.

What Beetlejuice and Officiant Jimmie have in common:
-Always dressed to the 9’s
-Supportive of couples wants/needs
-Chaotic good (?)
-Unconventional advertisements of their business
-Center of attention
-Unhinged humor
Frankly, it kinda makes sense…
If you’re reading this and feel so inclined to do a Beetlejuice inspired styled shoot next year with models and the whole shebangabang? Say my name 3 times!
(Or shoot me an email, whatever, I’m not picky)

Bundle up everyone, it’s looking like Sweater Weather out there.

Awkward Prom Photos are this guys specialty!

Pure Joy from two perspectives.

Manifesting me meeting couples who are down to take an Awkward Prom photo at their wedding.

Perfection is a lie.
You work out every detail, pour over the plans, and spent meticulous hours to actualize your wedding dreams. But… When it comes to having “a perfect day” there is no such thing.
Perfection is a lie in itself.
It’s something we let society fool us into thinking it’s real or even obtainable. You will never get something “perfect”.
Let the joy of the moment, your big day, let that magic be the thing you focus on. Nothing in this life will ever be perfect- f**k perfection!
Choose to embrace the chaos and the uncertainty. Lean into the incomplete and the “not exact”. Understand that there was billions of improbabilities of what could have been. And despite all of them, we ended up here, in this moment, together living in the now.
Be like Katie & Ed, a couple who don’t strive to be perfect. They choose to be happy, roll with the punches, and love each moment as if it’s the best thing they could have wished for. Their wedding day was absolutely stunning and they couldn’t have been happier with everything as it all happened.
Make those memories, fall in love without apology, embrace the chaos we cannot control, live in the now.
F**k perfection.

Yeah, I Got That S**t On.
You’re probably thinking, “Whoa there! Officiant Jimmie, such vulgarity on a Monday?? Unless that’s what the kids are saying… What does that mean? ELI5?”
Fear not, dear prudent reader, I’ll gladly explain.
It’s a term that not only means wearing an outfit that makes one look “Fly”, but it is exemplary way of thinking. A level of vibes and feeling thyself in such a way that you proudly step out into the world with your head thrown back and your energy is infectious to all those you come in contact with.
Such a Vibe/Mindset is necessary when you’re an officiant like me. Especially for a Sunrise Elopement at illustrious Trillium Lake. Naturally I had to rock the Gold Coat with Sarah & Carlos, their close friends, shot by the incomparable & as this ceremony went down.
I may have felt a little sleepy, I won’t lie. I drove up that morning so I was up by 3 am with about half a dozen alarms set to wake me up and note let me go back to sleep. But by the I got there and dressed, I had more swagger than someone’s drunk mom at a Grateful Dead Concert.
So yeah- I PUT THAT S**T ON! I always do for my couples. 🫶🏾

Black & White photos.
I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. I can’t even tell you how they’re made (selfishly I want to believe that photogs have an old timey camera they whip out for these). But I can tell you the timelessness behind these photos make me an advocate for a few B&W pics in every gallery!
Put the photos to a little tune by ? ooooof…. Fugget About It…
How do you guys feel about B&W photos?

07/26/2024

Even if you may not see me, sometimes you’ll see a set of wedding photos and you’ll just KNOW I was there.
Is it a photo where I happened to be a “bit” taller than the couple getting married?
Is it the photo where the guests were told it’s an Unplugged Ceremony and they were granted 30 seconds to snap a quick selfie of their own?
Is it the ambience of love being felt while all those in attendance feel like they’re on the inside of an inside joke?
Who’s to say… all I know is Amelia & Jade wanted an officiant who would accentuate their love story and remind their community how much they love one another. When I got in contact with them, it’s safe to say we became fast friends and knew that this trio was a perfect fit.
Sometimes you meet people and you just KNOW that there is something here that’s meant to be.
🥰
Also today is the 40th anniversary of the song Careless Whisper. If you’re like me, this fact absolutely devastates you and you’re looking up Life Alert™️ on Amazon. Hope you feel old as I do rn.

“Over The Fireplace Energy”.
As Jade directed Melanie, Jordan, and myself on how to pose for this picture (and when the 4 of us could stop giggling) I had that phrase in mind. “Over The Fire Place Energy”.
This felt like the kind of picture where you could blow it up in a huge print. Frame it in an elegant picture frame. Then display it over the famed spot in the house where the fire crackles and it hits the mood just right.
Did we know this picture would be THIS epic? F**k noooooo. But man were we all so psyched and excited when we saw how it turned out!
Then again, when Melanie & Jordan met that night in downtown PDX on St. Patrick’s Day? I can’t imagine they knew that a night of Green Hair Dye, Bar Top Dancing, and TMNT T-shirts would lead all this.
But that’s love sometimes, isn’t it? It comes to you in the most unexpected and wonderful ways. It brings us people who make us live better, laugh harder, shine brighter. Sometimes through all of its goodness and light, it leads us to an epic adventure.
An adventure so epic that it leads you to getting married with a wedding orchestrated by the uncontested brilliant team of at the world famous shot by the incomparable who takes a picture that’s gorgeous. So gorgeous in fact, it can only be considered an r/accidentalrenaissance type of post.
Now, how do I convince Timberline to hang this up around their lodge…?
🤘🏽🤘🏽

If you’re going to the Redwoods and you’re planning on:
-Getting married
-Smiling bunches
-Signing your marriage license wearing Ring Pops
-Having an officiant with some truly wild socks
-Drink some
&
-Have your picture taken by THE Naomi Levit Photography ?
Then my friends you’re never going to believe this…
Not only is all of this possible? It’s EXTREMELY easy to make happen!
Let these pictures be the burden of proof of what happens when two biologists (by the names of Jenn & Roger) fall in love, travel halfway across the country to elope, with their family in tow.
Lifelong memories that you can’t help but smile when you see them.

Unplugged Ceremonies- A How To/Why. 🤳
You paid how much for this wedding? You paid HOW MUCH for this photographer?!
The last thing you want is that picture perfect photo of you and your SO getting photo bombed by your Aunt Debby because she’s squatting in the aisle to “get the shot” off her iPad.
But what can you do, You don’t want to start a fight! You’re wanting it to be unplugged, that’s not so much to ask? Buuuut you know that’s just gonna start a fight with your soon to be in-laws. You know that they already are calling you “stuck up” because you told them tuxedo t-shirts aren’t formal attire. You also know you can’t let your gallery, that you’re paying top dollar for, be ruined by what can only be described as “electronic gang signs”.
That’s when you ask your officiant to say the following:
Welcome everyone!
Now before we begin, we would like to remind all those in attendance that this is an Unplugged Ceremony. The couple have asked that you be present with them in this moment as their love is documented by the very best in the business. Now with that being said- please pull out your devices and feel free to snap a picture, selfie, anything you’d like before we begin! You got 30 seconds- GO!
It results in a fun little moment where everyone feels like they “got their pic”. It adds an extra flair of fun for the day because everyone got an extra exciting candid! And then the photo/video team can move uninterrupted during the ceremony!
You’re welcome. 💅🏾

In this world it’s important not to lose your authenticity. Don’t hide your emotions; life is short.

When it’s Juneteenth and the groom sends you a pic that perfectly captures the vibe.
HAPPY FREEDOM DAY FAM! 💛❤️🖤💚❤️🖤💛💚

Officiant Dives Into Lake To Avoid Couples First Kiss. . If your Officiant isn’t committed to stepping out of the way for the kiss by yeeting themself into a lake? You might want to talk to the guy who’s got that drip. . That’s right, I dove into TWO different lakes in 2023. Both in a full suit and with zero hesitation! If you’ve worked with me, this comes as no surprise. And if this is “surprising” to you? Believe me, you ain’t seen nothing yet. . Now… how to outdo my exits in 2024… 😏 . . . #wedding #elopement #weddingofficiant #weddinggoals #lakecrescent #pnw #weddingvendor #olympicnps #yearofthemamba #bride #love #pnwweddingguide #officiant #inclusivewedding #oregonweddings #elopeyourlife #weddingceremony #tagtheofficiant #pnwwedding #elopementinspiration #Oregonofficiant #washingtonofficiant #anotherwhiteenvelope #officiantjimmie #2024 #americanmarriageministries #sealitwithashot

When I informed the videographer and photographer I was jumping into Lake Trillium as my exit for getting out of the way of “the kiss”; they laughed! And then I did it. . Special shoutout to this gorgeous Joanne & Kalvin! For being such an amazing couple of human beings who approved of my absolute mad man “Aight Imma Head Out” exit! . P.S. it was 51 degrees this day and I was f**king F R E E Z I N G 🥶 when I came out of the water. That paperwork could not have been signed faster. . . . #wedding #elopement #weddingofficiantuje #weddinggoals #reels #lovestorypnw #weddingvendor #adventurouswedding #peaceout #bride #laketrillium #weddingphotographersociety #adventureelopement #inclusivewedding #oregonweddings #exit #weddingceremony #tagtheofficiant #pnwwedding #elopementinspiration #Oregonofficiant #washingtonofficiant #anotherwhiteenvelope #officiantjimmie #oregonweddingvendor #americanmarriageministries #sealitwithashot
