The Artistic Difference

There is an art to photography and my fingerprint will be within every file I edit. No shortcuts. Passion for your work makes all the difference among photographers. I believe your love story can become art and should live forever.

My name is Jim Rode. My team and I create beautiful photography of your engagement and wedding. Each image will be lightly retouched and enhanced. I roam the wedding capturing fabulous moments. Many images are taken to the "darkroom" where the photographs are given my sensational fine-art treatment. My team of photographers and myself serve the greater Dallas and DFW area. I can travel nationwide for destination weddings.

Your wedding, my art. In love and art, you live forever. Jim Rode

Ho Ho! It's Christmas time. What a great season. It's the time when emotions can go up and down with great depth. I admit that I may cry in church...or laugh with friends at a party. Up and down we go. I wouldn't trade it for anything. And the feelings you get when you gift your children and friends...truly repairs the heart!


I caught Nannette and Reg stealing this sleigh. Turns out, they were going to give it to me at Christmas! Okay, in that case, I not calling the cops.


Can photographers ever be serious? I'm just making this up of course. Reggie and Nannette are two weeks from the wedding. (Christmas weddings are tough on me. I stake out the balcony -get the perfect angle -commit to memory the scene I'll turn into a painting -and bam...the minister will hold up the rings and the bride will raise her head to look into his eyes, and I'll realize I'm holding my breath. When you're in the balcony while God is blessing a marriage, you can feel the breeze from angel wings on your cheek.) Anyway, they wanted to have breakfast with Sylvia and me before the wedding. We went to a place I've often taken Syl to. They were decorating for the holidays...and there was the sleigh. Some idiot brought a little point and shoot (Oh wait...that was me. Don't you hate those guys who always seem to have a camera?) and before you know it...a photograph appears!


Making friends is the best gift that God gave to man. If the whole world could make friends...would there be anymore problems? Wouldn't we all care for each other? The four of us think alike. I'm blessed this Christmas.
