About

A photograph is a celebration of the moment. It’s like holding your breath at the decisive moment, and somehow cheating time.

Your wedding day is a celebration of love, a collection of moments that, once passed, are gone forever. It all seems too elusive...the telling glances, the soft smiles, the laughter, the tears. My goal is to witness these moments and immortalize them...not just capture or preserve them, but celebrate them...forever.

The camera is my journal. I work unobtrusively, without posing or giving direction, allowing you to experience the day as it comes, unforced and free. We’ll set aside some time for a few family photos, but otherwise, you’ll hardly know I’m there. The result is a collection of images that tell real stories about real people.

Be yourself. Be unforgettable.

Great to work with. Very calm and friendly. Helped me be at ease the day of. Puts together great photo books. Good selection of services offered in packages. Very flexible about adding and subtracting items to get the perfect set of services.

I chose Jody because he had a good choice of packages at good prices, which included an image CD at no extra cost (this is rare). Although he was not prompt in responding to our emails/phone calls when we were asking to see our photos (he should change the "2 weeks" in the contract to "2 months" to be realistic), I do feel overall like he was a good choice for us. He has a quiet personality and blends in well with the guests, suggested poses and arrangements, and chose good spots and angles around our chapel to shoot from. We got great candid shots of all the important moments, including sweet ones like Auntie pinching a toddler's cheeks, and quality photos of the wedding party. If you have a pretty location, hair and makeup done, and value candid and classic shots, Jody will get you some wonderful photographs of your wedding!

FIRST OFF: DO NOT USE THIS MAN.

I received a Groupon from my sister-in-law as a gift for J. Herndon Photography. I looked up his reviews and they weren't good... but it was a gift, so I contacted him. I mentioned that his reviews left much to be desired and he chalked it up to bridezillas and a lot on his plate, but assured me that he was fine now. There was some confusion about the time and place, but we quickly worked that out. We met up at the designated time and place and he was very personable.

He told me that he'd have my pictures on a disc within a week and if I didn't hear from him, I should call him. I called and called and called. It was two weeks later and he hadn't put the pictures on a disc. He told me to call him back in a few days. I told him to call me when it was finished. After another week of calling and getting no answer (and not being able to leave a voicemail), I emailed Groupon.

Groupon stepped in. They told me I should hear back from in within three business days. I did not. I called and called until he picked up. He said that he though he called me and that my photos had been finished. I asked him to mail them to me. He told me to save postage, he'd just drop them off. That was a week ago. We are less than six blocks away.

It's been almost two months and no pictures.
