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

HDR Morning After Session and Bridal - from Jim Rode Dallas wedding photographer










Amy and Lyall got married! I have hundreds of images from the wedding to enhance, but the morning after session was 1/4 the size - so I did them first! Fun morning- their first morning as "Mister and Misses!" The temperature Sunday morning was in the upper thirties, but Amy is gorgeous in her beautiful gown from Afred Angelo and warmed by a soft mink stole (and a handsome husband).

We had a lot of fun walking around getting wonderful images. Thank you Rick for loaning the vette! Wedding images coming soon.

Little Chapel in the Woods, in Denton Tx on the campus of Texas Woman's University.

Oh my! What a lot of love floating around in Denton tonight! Tara and John were married at the Little Chapel in the Woods. Family, fun, smiles, love brought a tear out here and there. Tara and John are a great couple. I always think of the groom as a hero stepping up before the crowd...to marry his princess. Oh my goodness...John was about to marry a gorgeous woman. How did he keep his knees from shaking? Lucky guy. I'll post the webcast here in a day or so. In the meantime...check out Tara and her beautiful gown and flowers.

Homecoming wedding walk through the floats - Jim Rode Photographer Dallas









After the wedding at the Little Chapel in the Woods, Lene and David headed for Homecoming at UNT. We had a great time cruising by the floats with a favorite friend. Afterwards, dining with close friends. Memories are made of this.

Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is Wedding Ready.

Lindasy Egan and the staff of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History hosted the Professional Wedding Guild to a Mad Scientist Party Tuesday night. A crazy time was had by all!

The museum is a beautiful location for a wedding or event. I can't wait. I was also surprised at the variety and depth of exhibits. I loved the scenic atrium garden and waterfall. This museum ought to be put on your list of must see visits.

Lene and David at the Little Chapel in the Woods.

The beautiful Lene said "Yes" to the handsome David and the wedding day was meant to be.

Lene was a gorgeous bride walking the aisle at the Little Chapel of the Woods. David watched and waited, a knight standing tall. When Lene reached the sanctuary steps, she handed her flowers to her maid of honor and stood with David to make a vow. I thought it was so cool to see David place his arm around her waist as they stood together.

In only minutes, they were married...their hearts bound together, forever.

Here is a sneak peek at Lene and David's after-the-wedding pictures. Lene had a friend with a Pyrenees dog (which you'll see later) and that was enough to entice me into shooting pictures at the homecoming parade. When we first arrived, there stood a unit of ROTC waiting to lead the parade. "Do you mind if we walk by?" "Please do, we'll come to attention." After this beautiful couple passed, the cadets applauded. Is this a great country or what!? Thank you everyone.
