As visual artists, Jake and Jodie have the rare ability to find breathtaking images in moments that are entirely unposed and uncontrived. They have an eye for creating simple, timeless iconic photographs.
I hope you will look back on these timeless photographs and cherish those moments forever. The first looks from the groom, the first kiss, and the hugs.
Living and shooting weddings in New York for 5 years was a definite highlight. Now based in Avalon Beach, we still enjoy travelling anywhere for a good story. I always shoot some film throughout the wedding for the love of that old Hollywood glow.
“Beauty is found in things imperfect”. Sometimes the emotion of a shot makes it shine with atmosphere. Weddings are the perfect puzzle of all the elements. People looking their best, immaculate details and heartfelt moments.
Jodie and Jake have a calm confidence and over 10 years experience shooting weddings, they love bringing out incredible beauty.
You will find their work in Vogue Brides, The Knot Magazine NY, Martha Stewart Weddings, Italian Vogue, Real Weddings Magazine, Cosmo Brides, Style Me Pretty and many more.
WHAT THEY SAY..
APRIL 2022
Jodie is incredibly skilled at what she does. Working with her is like working with a best friend. She was helpful and easy to talk to, and gave us a run sheet so we wouldn't have to worry about what photos were being taken on the day. She knows absolutely everything about wedding photography and all the do's and don'ts. Her photos told our story in the most beautiful, timeless, cinematic way - she made us look like something out of a magazine shoot - an incredible gift to look back on forever! Her expertise and unique flair is second to none and it's clear she loves what she does. Going above and beyond comes so naturally to her. Thank you Jodie, for being such a dream for us to have stumbled upon! We were so lucky to have found you! We couldn't recommend Jodie and McBride studios more.
McBride Studio
Wow Emma, Thanks so much for the beautiful review, I was so grateful to be there capturing your stunning day as well as all of your other family members weddings too! What an honour, I feel like royalty, thanks again, Jodie

Absolutely stunning photos and incredible experience with Jodie. She photographed my wedding on a ranch in Texas when they were based in New York, it was a pretty crazy weekend and had a lot of moving parts and she was such a calming presence. She took the most incredible photos, everyone loved her. She has such a beautiful eye, I love how natural all the photos look - nothing is forced or cheesy. Super timeless. I can't recommend her enough, she's the best.
McBride Studio
Wow thanks Ellie, I will never forget getting to shoot and video you riding in on a horse in Texas, what beautiful imagery I was lucky enough to get to shoot. Thank you so much for your kind words.
