First and foremost, JD is an artist and his collection of work is truly fine art. When I worked in the wedding industry, I would frequently recommend JD to my clients because of his personality and aesthetic. I’d tell my couples that there are many wonderful photographers out there, but choosing a photographer that you vibe with, is kind to your wedding party, and isn’t a diva is IMPORTANT! 6 years later and it’s finally my turn to hire JD for my engagement shoot and our destination wedding in New Orleans, and while I knew he would knock it out of the park, he far exceeded my hopes and dreams.

There are not enough words to describe how great JD is at capturing the day through photos. JD was the photographer at my sister’s wedding and I knew about 1 hour into her wedding day that he would be my photographer- he is just that good. 6 years later, he was my photographer for my wedding and did our engagement photos.

Our wedding day was 3/11/22 and of course Texas decided to throw a weather curve ball at us. It was freezing cold with gusty winds…my first thought was worrying about how outdoor pictures would turn out. I should have known not to worry because JD ended up capturing beautiful moments within the crazy winds and it’s pictures we’ll cherish forever. I didn’t give many specific photo requests, but he captured everything and more than I could have imagined. I loved the reception photos and all of the ones he took of our guests.
