ABOUT ME
I’m a travel wedding photographer based in North Carolina, serving couples throughout North Carolina and beyond. From the mountains to the coast, I’m always down to pack my bags, chase beautiful light, and document your love story wherever it takes you.
I specialize in colorful, meaningful imagery with a timeless feel, focusing on the little moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. I’m all about the belly laughs, happy tears, windblown veils, stolen glances, wild dance-floor moments, and everything in between. My goal is to create photographs that don’t just show you what your wedding looked like—they bring you right back to how it felt.
I’m a huge believer in candid, authentic storytelling. While I’ll absolutely help guide you when needed, I want your photos to feel like you—not overly posed or forced. I want you to be fully present, soak in every moment, and actually enjoy your wedding day while I document it as it naturally unfolds.
Because your wedding day should be about more than just taking photos. I want to create an experience where you feel comfortable, celebrated, and completely taken care of. From our first conversation to the last dance, I’m here to make your wedding day feel effortless, fun, and unforgettable.
Whether you're planning a coastal celebration in Wilmington or the Outer Banks, a romantic wedding in Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill, a classic celebration in Charlotte or Greensboro, or a mountain wedding in Asheville or Boone, I’m ready to follow your story wherever it leads.
Your love story deserves more than a gallery of pretty pictures. It deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt.
So let's make some magic—and make your wedding an experience, not just a photoshoot

" I cannot say enough wonderful things about J&D Photography! We recently worked together at a wedding in beautiful Beaufort NC, and he was an absolute DREAM to work alongside. Professional, personable, organized, creative, and incredibly easy to collaborate with- exactly the kind of photographer a wedding planner hopes to have on a vendor team. He kept things moving smoothly while still making sure the couple was able to enjoy their day, and his attention to detail was fantastic. As a wedding planner and officiant, I work with many photographers, and the ability to work well together makes such a difference on a wedding day. J&D Photography absolutely delivered. I would happily work alongside him again and would confidently recommend J&D Photography to couples looking for someone who brings both professionalism and great energy to the wedding day. Five stars all around!
