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

find your soul

It was an absolute pleasure to drop in on David Carr Jr. as he played a coffee house in Addison. No agenda, no spotlights...just simple back-to-the-roots jazz. Going back to the "beginning" can free your soul.

You can see some of the shots I got by clicking "find your soul". (Music by David Carr Jr., Images by Jim Rode Photographer)

All I Need

See the video from Dallas Photographer Jim Rode - All I Need



Had a blast photographing Bod and Michelle in Dallas and the train station.

The first stop was a root beer float at Big State Drug Store. Then it was off to the train station for a few shots in front of the passing trains. Later, we walked the park, then headed for Dallas and its Art's district. We paid homage to Annie Leibovitz with a new take on her portrait of Clint Eastwood. Then we walked the cobblestone streets at the Opera House. As the sun went down, I had a few precious minutes of light to capture Bod and Michelle on the city sidewalks.



I know they will have a ton of pictures from their wedding at Piazza in the Village, but I also think it is important to capture their love for each other in the days before the wedding.
