We’re Jodi and Reggie, a husband-and-wife photography team with a signature approach we call docutorial, an intentional blend of documentary authenticity and editorial sophistication.
For more than a decade, we have photographed weddings and destination celebrations with one guiding belief: the most meaningful images are rooted in real emotion. The laughter, the nervous anticipation, the quiet glances, the energy of the room, and the moments you never realized were unfolding.
Our work is grounded in storytelling. We value beautiful light, thoughtful composition, and timeless portraiture, but never at the expense of honesty. We want your photographs to feel as meaningful as they look.
Our approach moves naturally between gentle direction and quiet observation. We guide when guidance is needed, then step back and allow the day to unfold. This gives you the freedom to remain present while we preserve each moment with intention, clarity, and care.
From the sophistication of a New York City celebration to the romance of a Parisian street, we travel wherever your story takes us. Every wedding is approached with professionalism, creativity, and a genuine respect for the people and relationships at the heart of it. We are not interested in chasing trends or creating photographs that feel like someone else’s wedding. We are drawn to what is real, personal, and unmistakably yours.
Our hope is that when you look through your photographs, you can almost hear the laughter, feel the embrace, and remember exactly what it was like to be there. Because the true value of an image is not simply how beautiful it is. It is the memory, emotion, and meaning it carries long after the day has passed.We capture truth, artfully.
Warmly,
Jodi & Reggie
Hey there! If you’ve gotten this far, you’ve probably already seen these faces. But just in case, we are Jodi + Reggie! We are a DFW-based photographers, but we love taking this team on the road and travel makes us the happiest. We have been shooting weddings for 11 years now and started our Destination Brand Wed Life Media about 5 years ago. So yes! We have 2 brands! We split our time locally and internationally and we absolutely love it. We would describe our photography style as very laid back and natural with a lot of 4-letter words. We are real people shooting real people, so our personalities may be a little different than your average "Wedding Photographer" The little in-between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward prom poses and forced smiles. We want the real shit- the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt! I want to photograph the things that make you who you are, and the things that make your love unique. Because there are only so many angles and poses and pretty locations, and they’ve all been done before - but what makes each photo special is the memories attached to it, and my goal is to make those unique to you! I am a sucker for REAL smiles, and that's why you can "hear" our photos when you look at them.
