Dezerae Jobe Photography

l am a Wedding, Elopement and Adventure Photographer who believes in
providing the absolutely best client services that I can. Talking to my clients whenever they have questions or helping with vendor recommendations is important to me. Since 2013 my goal has been to keep client relationships personal, ideas fresh and the products I offer timeless. I have a weak spot for natural light and there is something about the dreaminess you can achieve with the warm haziness the sun casts down on us through the clouds and trees.

I am a storyteller, and photographs are some of the very few tangible pieces we have to hold onto these precious moments. The way your story is captured matters—because my perspective will shape how you remember one of the most meaningful times in your life.

I strive to document every detail, big and small, in a way that feels beautiful, intentional, and artful. My approach is candid, raw, and real—driven by passion, connection, and a genuine love for what I do.

WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Wedding and elopement photographs are more than images—they are the story of your day as it unfolds. From quiet, intimate moments to joyful celebrations, having your day documented by a professional photographer who lives to capture emotion, connection, and meaning allows you to stay fully present while every important detail is preserved.

As time passes, memories may fade, but your images will hold the feeling of your day forever. They become a visual legacy—something you’ll one day share with children, grandchildren, and loved ones who will see the love, the laughter, and the beginning of your story together. These photographs are a time capsule of a powerful moment in your lives—the start of a new chapter, a new family, and a new future.

Printed images—albums and wall art—are made to last a lifetime. While digital files are invaluable, technology changes quickly, and physical prints ensure your memories are preserved for generations to come.

My couples mean everything to me. I live and breathe weddings and elopements, and I’m truly honored when you choose me to document one of the most meaningful days of your life. Please take time to review the contract (attached with your online booking fee), explore my portfolio, and share any ideas or visions you have for your day.

I’m here to answer your questions, help guide the process, and dream this with you—let’s create something unforgettable together. ✨

What is Next? ...................

BRIDAL ADVENTURE SESSIONS:

YOU ONLY DO THIS ONCE!

A bridal adventure session is more than just photos—it’s an experience created just for you. It’s a chance to slow down, step into your dress again, and be fully present in a beautiful, meaningful location without the pressure of a wedding-day timeline.

These sessions allow us to work together in a relaxed, natural way, giving you the freedom to move, explore, and simply be. I’ll gently guide you while focusing on authentic connection, natural movement, and the quiet moments that often get rushed on a wedding day. There’s no need to perform or pose—this time is about capturing you in a way that feels effortless and true.

A bridal adventure session also creates space for creativity and storytelling. Whether it’s wind in your hair on a cliffside, bare feet in the sand, or wandering through a forest at golden hour, these images are intentionally crafted to feel cinematic, emotional, and timeless.

Many couples choose to use their bridal adventure images for wall art, albums, anniversary prints, or simply as a way to relive the feeling of their wedding in a calmer, more intimate setting. It’s an opportunity to create heirloom-worthy photographs that celebrate not just how you looked, but how it felt to be married.

ADD A BRIDAL ADVENTURE TO YOUR WEDDING DAY

ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS:

More Than Just Photos

An engagement session is more than a photo shoot—it’s a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to feel completely comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding or elopement day. This time together helps build trust, ease nerves, and create a natural flow so that when your wedding day arrives, everything feels familiar and effortless.

During your engagement session, you’ll get a feel for how I guide you, how I work with natural movement and connection, and how it feels to be photographed in a relaxed, pressure-free environment. There’s no expectation to perform—just space to be yourselves. By the time your wedding day comes around, you’ll already know what to expect, allowing you to be fully present and confident.

Engagement photos are also incredibly versatile. Many couples use these images for save-the-date cards, wedding invitations, wedding websites, guest books, and announcements. They’re a beautiful way to share your story with friends and family while setting the tone for your wedding day.\

DAY-AFTER WEDDING SESSIONS

The Quiet Moments After “I Do”

The day after your wedding is often slower, softer, and deeply intimate. The pressure is gone, the celebration has settled, and what’s left is just the two of you—married, present, and finally able to breathe. A day-after session is about documenting those quiet moments that often go unseen.

These sessions are intentionally unstructured and lifestyle-focused. Whether you’re cooking a meal together, making coffee, sharing leftovers, or simply moving through the space you’re waking up in, this time allows your story to continue naturally—without timelines, guests, or expectations.

A day-after session is also a beautiful way for us to work together in a more relaxed environment. You’re no longer thinking about schedules or details, which allows for incredibly honest, emotional imagery that feels timeless and deeply personal.

Booking Your Day-After Session
Day-after sessions are available as an add-on to wedding or elopement packages and are subject to availability. A signed contract and retainer are required to reserve your session.

Planning Your Session
We’ll talk through the flow of your morning, the location, and any simple activities you’d like documented. Nothing needs to be staged—these sessions are about authenticity and presence.

Session Day
This time is slow and gentle. I’ll document moments as they unfold—bare feet on the floor, quiet laughter, shared glances, hands brushing as you move through the space together.

How do I capture a wedding day?

I approach a wedding day through emotion and vision first. Every wedding is different, and the way it feels matters just as much as how it looks. I’m always paying attention to energy—quiet moments, deep connection, laughter, nerves, and the in-between interactions that often go unnoticed. Those emotions guide my creativity and shape the way your story is told.

Having enough time is one of the most important elements in creating beautiful, meaningful images. When we allow space in the timeline, creativity can unfold naturally. It gives us room to slow down, follow the light, and capture moments as they happen—rather than rushing from one thing to the next. Some of the most powerful images come from unplanned moments that only happen when there’s breathing room.

I focus on creating an environment where you feel relaxed and present. The more comfortable you are, the more authentic your images become. Whether that means stepping away for a quiet moment together, adjusting plans to chase better light, or simply allowing time to explore and create, everything I do is intentional and centered around getting the best images possible.

My goal is to capture your wedding day in a way that feels honest, cinematic, and timeless—images that reflect not just how your day looked, but how it felt to live it.

LETS CHAT TIMELINES............
