Beautiful! I found you on Twitter and saw that you 'tweeted' about this wedding... you're right... this wedding is just gorgeous!
(03.06.09 @ 10:08 AM)Great photography, J&J The red is beautiful and quite different but it rocks!
(03.06.09 @ 04:25 PM)makes me want to get married and that says ALOT!!! ha ha sooo timeless and beautiful...sigh. Looks like a storybook fairytale! gorgeous work, as predictable!
(03.07.09 @ 05:43 PM)I absolutely adore the shots of her on the stairs! the detail shots are gorgeous too :)
(03.15.09 @ 09:14 PM)With brides being so busy putting their wedding day together, many times a bridal portrait session does not sit at the top of the to-do list. So, when photographer Anna Beckman asked us to photograph her wedding (which we were honored to do) and then asked to do a bridal portrait session we thought it would be fun. Sessions like this are not the norm in the midwest, however in the south it may be more important than the wedding itself. So, we were up for the challenge and looked forward to the shoot. We found the session to be helpful in many ways especially for Anna it was kinda like a "trial run" of sorts. With hair, makeup, and flowers. Which all turned out awesome and, off we went.
Anna threw the traditional "bridal portrait session" out the door and gave us creative freedom. We really enjoyed the session and really enjoyed getting to know some of her close friends (who we recruited to be assistants). Julia and I started the shoot at dusk and pulled out all the stops with creative lighting to create what is one of my favorites shots so far this year.
Ryan and Anna will be united on May 2, 2009 so there will be more coming soon of their beautiful wedding in the Vineyard.
GORGEOUS!!!! And so true!!! Thanks for sharing. Your work is stunning! We miss you guys!

With today being Valentine's day I thought it would be appropriate to show you the premier promo of the ONE Conference. 25 couples came together last year with one thing in mind, to work on their marriage and keep it a priority while trying to run a business together. It made such a difference in all of our lives. If you are looking for the perfect gift for your spouse, the second annual One conference is schedule for September 21st-23rd, 2009. You do not have to be a photographer to attend. If you and your spouse are co-partners in business and in life this is for you. Hope to see you there. Visit the website for more details this years speaker lineup will be announced next week.
Have a happy V-tine day everyone. Thank you Ron Dawson for doing an outstanding job documenting this event for us and being a part.

WoW! This is amazing and what is needed in the industry! As a couple in our own photography business, I hope to be able to attend the next workshop!
(02.15.09 @ 02:26 PM)Sooo loverly peoples! absolutely dazzeling! I can NOT work with my husband! I'd have to invest a small fortune in repititive one conferences to get this chicka molded! What beautiful moments though! Thanks for caring about people guys! Long Live the Woods!! Here Here!
(02.25.09 @ 08:11 PM)Jeff and Julia-
Hey! We really dug the video of the One conference and my wife and I could not agree more that keeping your marriage strong while trying to run a full time photography business is definitely an on going challenge for all of us. We would love to get more info on this if you can point us in the right direction! Thanks a ton!

(05.08.09 @ 08:55 PM)this is fantastic. It brought me to tears, it reached inside my heart. what a fantastic idea for photographers
(06.19.09 @ 06:23 AM)Hello Jeff and Julia, Wow on One! Just saw the video for first time today, and all the memories came flooding back as to how inspiring the conference was. Bill and I had decided we just couldn't afford to go this time. But I am determined with the help of God and a few good promotions to make it there. We won't know till middle August. So we will check if there is any availability left then, and if so we will be there with smiling faces to support and grow from the 2nd annual One Conference. Namaste, Judith Bell

Well its been pretty exciting around here the last week with our clients getting some press not only in premier bridal magazines, but on some of the premier wedding blogs as well.
If you've never checked them out you should definitely do so, as they lend great ideas to brides in the planning process as well as showcase some beautiful real weddings. We are thrilled to be featured in the "who's who" media outlets of the industry, especially because they are by invite only. It makes us proud that the work we love to do and the relationships we are so fortunate to capture have allowed us such wonderful opportunities.

Grace Ormonde is showcasing our newest endeavor called Jeffrey and Julia Woods ~Black Label~. This is something that we are really excited about. We have teamed up with Super 8mm cinematographer Andy Jackson of Portal Films. The three of us mesh so well together and the results are shared from a artistic point of view. By showing an image and then adding a few seconds of film footage you get a more holistic documentation of what happens in those moments.
Julia and I always ask our bride and grooms what drew them to us. Why did you want us to photograph your wedding, when we know you have so many options available to you? We are always overwhelmed with emotion when they say as one bride put it "There is no one else we would rather have photograph our wedding, because you see weddings the way we envision ours."
We just want to say to all of our past bride and grooms - THANK YOU. Thank you for allowing us to be us and to be able to capture your relationship the way we see it. We appreciate the sacrifices that you have made to give us the opportunity to see first hand the love between the two of you. Your LOVE is truly INSPIRING to us. Julia and I work hard at building lasting relationships in our own marriage and with our children, so we know how much your relationships with each other, your family, and your friends mean to you. It's in relationships, that we find our love of photography. If you would like to see more feel free to contact the studio (info@jeffreyandjuliawoods.com).
Congratulations! Such exciting news and such honors. You all should have been in every magazine and on every blog years ago. What took them so long!? ; )
(02.07.09 @ 12:55 AM)if anyone deserved it... It is definately you guys!!! Well... and ME~ JUST KIDDING! The only reason I would deserve it is because I am your blog stalker! Ha Ha~ Number one fans and blog stalkers get at least T-shrts, hats, and autographs!!! See? I don't expect much gang? Little t-shirt and hat love is all! Seriously! Rock on, move on, BE FREE!!
