I got married!! And changed my last name. Yes, it really is Jodee Friday now!
And if you think the name is good, you should meet my husband who gave it to me because he's even better!
So I decided to rebrand and switch things up because, let's be honest, Jodee Friday is way easier to pronounce and remember than my maiden name of Jodee Debes, which served me well for over 10 years in business!
I'm still the same Jodee. Just with a cool new last name and look. I cannot wait to see what this next chapter brings both personally and in business!
I also added the "& co" to include my associate team that shoots for my studio. Scroll down to learn more!

You can stop searching for a photographer now – just book Jodee! She is absolutely amazing and we are SO grateful we had her as our engagement and wedding photographer. She captured so many special, candid moments and was such a joy to be with on our wedding day.
Her energy is exactly what you want on your big day – effervescent, friendly, positive.. but also assertive and will do what she needs to get the best shot. She was a pro at organizing our families and took control, so we could just enjoy the moment.
We have such wonderful memories from that day, and our photos really bring those memories to life. I love her photojournalism style – even the staged photos felt natural and effortless.
I wish we could get married all over again just so that Jodee could photograph it! Thank you, Jodee!!

I had found Jodee scouring wedding websites right after my husband and I got engaged... From that initial call I knew I had met someone truly spectacular...
Jodee helped make my husband and I both feel at ease on our big day...She caught intimate moments without intruding, had my dad laughing and our families both complimenting what a light she was the entire day. The wedding day is such a whirlwind experience, Jodee was our rock. We have memories to cherish for our lifetime thanks to her.
It is difficult to put into words how special she is. I would recommend Jodee all day everyday - and can confidently say that had Jodee not been our photographer our day would not have been as magical as it was. She is natural friend, intelligent artist and brilliant human. Her attention to detail and ability to put everyone around her at ease can be seen and felt in all the beautiful images she has captured.
I can confidently say that had Jodee not been our photographer our day would not have been as magical as it was.
Simply put, Jodee is amazing! She's not only is an incredibly talented photographer, but her aura and personality make her an absolute must for your wedding and any events surrounding it.
She’s positive and patient, makes sure every detail is well thought and covered, puts everyone she’s photographing (Think grandma to the very last guests) at ease, and the final product is stunning.
When selecting a photographer, we wanted a person who brought a great vibe and energy (You spend a lot of time with this person!), who took the time to capture great portraits, but who also had an eye for candid moments throughout the celebration.
Jodee delivered and then some. It brings us so much joy to look back at the photos – everything is there, from our family shots to the moments we didn’t get to personally witness amid a 100-person celebration. We are so thrilled with everything she did for our wedding that we hope she’ll be available to document many more of our life celebrations and adventures.
Jodee puts everyone she’s photographing at ease, and the final product is stunning.
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.

JODEE IS THE BEST! From start to finish Jodee was professional, classy, and super friendly. Having come highly recommended from a friend, we hired her and she far exceeded any expectations that we had (and we are picky people)....
With her positive and upbeat energy she guided us effortlessly through the day. I was afraid we would run out of poses or not know what we are doing but her creative eye and instruction ensured that never happened. She made my fiancé and I feel comfortable and confident. I CANNOT express how important this is when you're looking for a photographer....
The anticipation of viewing our photos after such an exciting day didn't have to last long because Jodee provided us with a "sneak peek". Let me tell you, we were SPEECHLESS. The photos are breathtaking, my mom cried when she saw them. Yes, that good. We will certainly cherish them forever.

We met Jodee through my planner and she came highly recommended - there is a reason for that!!
She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, takes AMAZING photos, and will make you feel your absolute best leading up to and on the big day.
Her energy is unbelievable and nonstop and she will give you, your partner, and your wedding party, family, and guests the confidence boost you need when photos are being taken all day!
We did both an engagement shoot (in San Francisco) and our wedding day (in Los Angeles) with her and she made both so easy and special. Not to mention how FAST she works - we had sneak peeks (and so many of them!!) within just a few days and we LOVED the emotions and moments she captured.
My husband and his groomsmen also loved the vibe her second shooter brought to their day while getting ready. Cannot recommend working with her and her team enough!
YOU. MUST. HIRE. JODEE!!!
YOU.
MUST.
HIRE.
JODEE!!!
Jodee brought so much creativity and positive energy, she was an absolute joy to work with and generally to be around. Her photography style is very natural so she’ll come up with infinite creative ways to make sure you are comfortable and she is capturing genuine moments. She will read your chemistry and style and feed you prompts to ensure that the intimacy and happiness reflected in the photos is organic, spontaneous, and real.
She’s also efficient and intuitive. She’ll do her homework to make sure she’s checking off all the must have boxes for your event but she’ll also pull you and your partner away when she senses you’re overwhelmed or might want a moment just the two of you.
More than anything, Jodee is just fun to be around. My husband and I found ourselves disappointed when it was time for her to leave, not because we needed more photos, but because she’s just good company and brings great energy to the party...
Jodee is the light your wedding needs...She will make you feel relaxed and beautiful and your experience with her will be
so much fun.
