Jodee Debes Photography

Wedding, travel and lifestyle photographer based in California and always eager to travel. I take on a photojournalistic approach with my photography hoping to capture those real moments of tears, awe and wacky dance moves. I love making real connections with my couples and bringing out their personalities in my portraits. My goal is always to create unique images that tell the story of their wedding day in the best way possible and deliver images that have a feeling of genuine emotion and movement. As I travel the world recording memories, you'll often see me with a silly grin on my face. My passion for photography is second only to my passion for people, which is why I get to work with some of the greatest couples, families, and individuals in the world. My life's purpose is to capture genuine moments of laughter, tears, and astonishment, thus I enjoy candid photography and always try to adopt a photojournalistic approach to my work. It's an honor to be invited to capture the special moments and travels of extraordinary people, and I appreciate you allowing me to do what I love. Being a photographer has given me the opportunity to meet and interact with a diverse range of people, cultures, and friends. I've been able to grow my business into a lucrative machine thanks to my mentors, many fortunate occurrences, and a lot of hard work. And I'm always eager to pay it forward by assisting others in finding their dream job. “Oh-my-god - how on earth could I ever begin to explain how phenomenal Jodee is. Two words - HIRE HER! Not only are her photos absolutely stunning, she is the sweetest and so funny. She really makes you feel comfortable getting your photo taken (and we know sometimes that's awkward), and everyone instantly loves her spirit and friendly demeanor. She's great with everyone - from the flower girl to the grandparents. If you like bright, lively and fun photos that are really full of life, this is your girl. My fiance and I are so so happy with our photos - we feel like they truly captured the spirit of the day. Couldn't be happier.” -Tania & Carl
