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

Little Chapel in the Woods wedding with Jim Rode Photographer




Ashley and Brandon were married August 10 at the Little Chapel in the Woods on the campus of TWU in Denton. Totally cool wedding. The bride wore a beautiful gown. The guys were dashing -even struck up a Captain Morgan pose before the ceremony for laughs! Karen Foster provide great music from the chapel organ. The couple rehearsed the ceremony and Ashley picked the music from the bridal room! Karen said "I'll start playing different pieces and you let me know which you like." Then she played different wedding marchs -from memory-until Ashley heard the one she wanted! A big advantage to have a pro!

The ceremony was great (Reverent Paul -www.revpaul.com) was, as always, a great officiant. The video has a great pic of him with Ashley. It is a moment before the ceremony. He knows how to keep everyone calm. -Enjoy the moment.

The reception was at Hannah's on the square. We snuck off on the way to the reception for 10 minutes at the tracks. Great fun!

The week of the wedding, Sylvia and I watched the great Helen Keller movie The Miracle Worker. The Little Chapel in the Woods has stained glass windows made by the students in 1939. Helen Keller was of huge interest to people in the 30's and beyond. She was both deaf and blind, and her inspiring story is represented in one of the windows. I've been to the chapel many times, but did not make the connection until this week.
