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

Mid-Cities Wedding at Northeast Wedding Chapel - Jim Rode Photographer











Casey and Jordan got married in a beautiful ceremony at a Mid-Cities chapel. Friends and family witnessed an evening filled with love, family and faith. I've been thinking about it for quite some time. Casey and Jordan leave me feeling like my heart is filled with the grace of God.

They are avid sports fans, and I loved their engagement safari...but I have been really touched by how much they are in love. I remember them laying on the Texas Rangers emblem outside the Ballpark in Arlington as I circled grabbing cool images. They kept looking into each others eyes. They are bound to each other! I think they make my life closer to God when I see people in love like this. This is what makes the world a better place. I hope this doesn't sound too deep...but I predict this couple will grow old together in a relationship that we all want to have.

Attended lunch at Artspace 111 with the Professional Wedding Guild in Fort Worth last week. Wonderful service, fantastic speaker. Todd Fiscus is the owner of todd. events. creative services. He is a mind-blowing wedding designer who can handle the largest events in the area.

On the hand, Artspace 111 is a boutique art gallery that offers its space for weddings and events. I really enjoyed the space and art. Intimate weddings will fit here, and I think very nicely! Beautiful grounds complete an interesting gallery space where the couple can retire for a reception. The nice thing about a wedding at Artspace 111, is the walls are already decorated. This can save bucks and decision making hours when it comes to wedding decor.
