Jodi and Amanda are two of the most talented and sweetest people ever! I knew during our pre booking phone call that they were the photographers for us. During the wedding both Jodi and Amanda kept us on schedule and captured so many beautiful moments. We’re forever grateful that we have these memories. YOU GUYS ROCK!
Amanda was our engagement session and wedding photographer. I absolutely loved how our wedding photos turned out, they were just what I was looking for, and I can't wait to hang a few up in my home. Amanda was so cool, and easy going, I felt like a friend was photographing us. I hope to use Southern Kindred again in the future, and highly recommend Amanda and Jodi both. Thank you!
There is not enough words to describe Jodi, she is absolutely amazing at her craft. She did our engagement photos, and our wedding photos. She has the best personality you could as for in a photographer. She’s very personable, funny, sweet, just absolutely everything. We just
Got married and already deemed her as our family photographer for years to come for absolutely every occasion . 😅 if you need a photographer for a special event, don’t think twice, just book them . You will not be disappointed.
Jodi was SOOO GOOD! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She caught some amazing moments for us. When we received our galory, it was like re-living the whole day. Thank you so much to SK for the dream day photos!!
Jodi photographed my wedding on April 2, 2022 and did an outstanding job. We absolutely love the photos and she got them to us so quickly!!! Throughout the whole planning process, Jodi was just a text or call away to answer all my questions and help explain details. She is such a sweet, genuine person and really wants to make your wedding day the best it can be. Book Southern Kindred Studios for your wedding - you won’t regret it!!
Amazing Amazing Amazing. We used Southern Kindred for engagement photos & on our wedding day. My husband and I HATE photos - we never like them and feel awkward in front of the camera. Southern Kindred DELIVERED on wedding day and engagement shoot. On wedding day, they were so professional and clearly very experienced. They care about the details and get the job done. Not only do they make you feel SO comfortable, but they run the show. We would have paid double for the product that we got - worth every penny. We loved our engagement photos - we got a ton of great shots, which we hadn't been able to get with other photographers in the past. I honestly cannot say enough about how much I respect this business and how grateful I am that they captured such a magical day.
Amanda is an amazing photographer and soooo SWEET! She photographed our wedding in June and the pictures turned out AMAZING!!! She takes fun, candid photos, and she even took some quick bridals the day of, since I never got any done. She made me feel comfortable and I trusted her completely and the pictures are perfectly stunning! I highly recommend Amanda Thank you for capturing our perfect day!!!!
I used Amanda for my engagement photos/wedding she was the absolute best! Her personality is amazing! all of our sessions were so fun with her.
When I received my wedding photos I was blown away! Amanda made sure she captured all the important moments at my wedding and I couldn’t thank her enough!! Would definitely recommend southern kindred studios! ❤️
I used Southern Kindred Studios for my wedding this past November and I absolutely loved all of my photos! They worked over the holidays to ensure I had my pictures in time for Christmas so I could give them as gifts! I love my wedding pictures SO MUCH and am so blessed to have these wonderful photos for the rest of my life!
As soon as my now husband and I got engaged I told him we had to hire Amanda, and WOW she did not disappoint one bit! She was super patient with our engagement photos. Even when it came to working our 2 rambunctious kids into the session. As for our wedding pictures they are absolutely amazing! She captured every detail! We can not even pick a favorite because we love so many of them! You will not be disappointed if you pick Southern Kindred for you big day! We have definitely found our forever photographers!
Jodi did an amazing job taking my wedding photos. She is responsive, creative, and caring with her work and her clients. She never once turned down a phone call or text - and I called her a lot! She was willing to work with all suggestions and she gives her professional advice when needed. She was the vendor who kept me calm and on schedule with photos on the day of the wedding! She doesn’t rush her work and you can tell that she cares about every photo she takes. Plus, the photos come out looking BEAUTIFUL.
Jodi is outstanding! She captured our day with such grace and skill, it was almost as if she wasn't even there. When we got our photos back, they blew our freaking minds! She captured us in the most authentic yet beautiful ways which is exactly what I wanted. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is super sweet and down to earth. We had a great time with her on and off the camera. Would hire her again in a heartbeat. <3
They did a fantastic job in my wedding photos! I really can not say enough at how pleased I am with my photos! Thank you!
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Jodi!!! She is so sweet and personable. I loved that our wedding photos aren't all "posed". The photos are all so candid and simply gorgeous. She took all of my ideas and my husbands ideas into account so it really felt like we were a team. I was so comfortable with her all day. My wedding photos put all of my dream Pinterest weddings to shame and that's in large part to Jodi's attention to detail. She also had our ENTIRE gallery to us six days after the big day. She sent us almost 700 fully edited shots in less than a week! Your wedding photos will be there forever so PLEASE invest in Jodi Daniel. You won't regret it.
Jodi did such a great job with our photos! She was very professional, and the photos turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend Jodi for your wedding photographer.
WOW! We loved her work! My fiancé and I booked Jodi for our engagement shoot and we couldn't be happier with her work. We wanted to incorporate our love of motorcycles into the shoot and from the moment I brought it up she was completely down for it. Admitting she hadn't worked with a bike, she was open to anything we wanted to try. She let me send her ideas and even came up with some amazing shots off the top of her head. On top of the fact that she's as cute as a button, she genuinely loves what she does. She was punctual (we weren't). She listened to what we wanted and gave us a beautiful backdrop for our photos. Our only regret is that our wedding won't be in Texas because we'd love to have her take those photos as well. Thank you Jodi!
Jodi is a beautiful spirit. She was very responsive, professional, and on time. She is kind and very personable. I can tell that she means what her profile says and she enjoys her job. My husband and I are thankful that we selected her to capture our memories for our 40th anniversary vow renewal ceremony. This ceremony was very special after 40 years because we never had a wedding initially and wanted the perfect Photographer to take photos my children and grandchildren can cherish forever and she did just that. She personalized our love story by capturing beautiful photos that we now have on our walls She communicated with us several times to make sure what photos we would like and she even stayed an extra hour to capture other great photos. Her attention to details were perfect ! She went above and beyond that she even took time to make sure we all looked perfect and was very patient with my grandkids. She was one step ahead of us and made sure the lighting was perfect. Our sunset picture was my favorite. We love her so much and blessed to have met her. It is no surprise she gets great reviews. We will be using her forever for all her photos
Jodi made our “wedding photo dreams” come true!! She was wonderful to work with from beginning to end, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. I love every single photo she took. The editing was beautiful, she was helpful with poses, and she made sure to get every picture that we wanted. I had multiple people come up to me at the wedding and after to tell me how kind she was and how on top of things she was. I have also had people reach out since I posted the pics on social media to ask who took the photos. Wedding photos were one of my top priorities, and she far exceeded my expectations!
Mrs. Daniel and her team provide world class professional photography service! You absolutely pay for what you get, legitimately. So if you want a cheap fly by night photographer for your special day then that’s your choice. Just remember to keep in mind, as we realized that your photos are pretty much all you have left when it is over. But if your anything like my husband and I and you expect pure and unique quality matching any culture and any style along with a fun and humorous experience then you need a expert behind the flash. Jodi Daniel photography will leave you relieved knowing you have chosen the “award winning” best wedding photographer in the southern United States!
Jodi is hands down the the cutest, funniest, sweetest, most amazing person you’ll ever meet! To a bride, photos are usually one of the more important details so we have something look back and remember our wedding days. I couldn’t have been happier with Jodi’s services and picking her to capture my wedding was the smartest decision I ever made. Jodi was a delight to work with and the ideas she had captured some beautiful photos. I would 100% recommend her to any of my future bridal friends!!
When it was time to take our engagement photos, I did extensive research about San Antonio photographers, and Jodi stood out among as one of the best. And I was completely right!
She took her time at both of our locations for photos making sure we were happy with the shots she was taking. Our engagement photos are some of the best photos of my Fiance and me. We used her photos for our wedding website and our Save the Date.
I would recommend anyone to Jodi who needs to capture monumental moments in their lives.
Jodi was absolutely amazing! When we went to take our portrait photos, Matthew and I felt like we were with one of our best friends and felt totally comfortable. When taking our pictures, she did a phenomenal job of genuinely capturing our relationship on camera. We would definitely recommend her to any friend getting married in the future!
Jodi is an amazing photographer and soooo sweet! She photographed our wedding in June and the pictures turned out amazing! She takes fun, candid photos, and she even took some quick bridals the day of, since I never got any done. She made me feel comfortable and I trusted her completely and the pictures are perfect!! She is very sincere and communicated with me while I was waiting to view the gallery of photos. I highly recommend Jodi! Thank you for capturing our perfect day!!!
Jodi is amazing! She is the sweetest human in the world and I’m so glad I chose her to capture my day! She and her assistant went above and beyond not only making sure that my day was captured beautifully but that it looked beautiful as well. She helped my mom with the banner for the dessert bar and her assistant, Sarah helped fix a swag that the florist put on the wrong sign. I haven’t received my photos back yet but I can’t wait to because I know they’re going to be beautiful! Thanks Jodi for being a part of my day!
Yes! Yes! Yes! A million times over YES to Jodi!!! From the beginning she made me feel like her only wedding (even though I knew that wasn’t the case & she was actually very busy). She was by far my FAVORITE VENDOR to work with. I don’t know how many times I had to tell my wedding planner my brothers names but JODI on the other hand, she genuinely cared, she would remember some of the smallest details & would always be so excited about our wedding every time I talked to her. I was having a hard time finding a photographer within our budget but with the quality we wanted & then I found Jodi!!! The words for my wedding- moody,
Romantic, elegant... & her style was everything! I feel in love instantly. Honestly, I feel like I found a hidden gem & locked her in before everyone else finds out & she gets too big (when you get real famous, don’t forget about the little people like me, Jodi)! :) The day of my wedding I actually got sick with one of my migraines... we lost about 2.5 hours of shooting time with her while I slept trying to shake it off. I didn’t even know what pics she took during that time so I was relieved to know from my bridesmaids that she kept busy & got most of the photos we had talked about. She made the best out of a tough situation & her pictures are everything to me. I willed myself out of bed that day but was still really out of it the rest of the night- I had a hard time the following weeks about what had happened. Jodi’s pictures helped me relive the day & come to peace with the fact that I got sick. Here’s a link to her blog (a preview from my wedding)- https://www.jodidanielphotography.com/thejournal/swsaoctoberwedding
JODI FOR THE WIN!
Jodi did an unbelievable job, I had no idea what a professional wedding photographer did. From organizing everyone and making sure that all of the families was involved. It was the best investment ever
Jodi Daniel Photography was there when my baby got married and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!! Jodi is unbelievably amazing, sooo personable and lovable!!! She made us feel so at ease from the moment contact was made.
My daughter loved working with her so much, and was made to feel so at ease! We had a bridal session as well as the the Wedding and the quality of the work never varied... perfection every time!!! I have and will continue to recommend Jodi Daniel Photography to everyone looking for someone amazing to make their memories stay alive!!!
Jodi, well let's just say she's my spirit animal. From our first email to now, we have been connected souls who knows our interests, our personalities and our vision for how we want to remember our special day. She was quick to communicate with and made the booking process extremely simple and straightforward. From the start, Jodi was always on the same page as us, an attentive professional and a genuine human being.
The Bridals: I booked Jodi to do my bridals a few months before the wedding. She was very open to helping me find the perfect spots in San Antonio for my bridals to capture my artsy and unique vision for my portraits. She even entertained a spontaneous photoshoot in front of a cactus-lined art gallery we drove past and HAD to stop at. She communicated clearly and directed me during the entire shoot and made it feel comfortable and fabulous all the same time! The bridals reflected me - wholeheartedly ME. They were flirty, modern, dramatic, eclectic and fabulous. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and even better photos from that day.
The Wedding: For months, we would have regular conversations about timeline, details and vision for our wedding photos. Although, the weather was not cooperative on our day, Jodi was very quick on her feet to go with the flow. Jodi is extremely hardworking, attentive to both planned and spontaneous moments and always went above and beyond the job at hand. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to capture their special day. Jodi, thank you for going on this adventure with us. We are so thankful we found you and could not be happier as Mr. and Mrs. Clark!
Omg jodi is such a wonderful person and excellent photographer!!! I feel as though she was not just my wedding photographer but now I can also call her a friend!! It’s like she can hear your heart and souls desires... We did a bridal session and she asked me before the session what o had in mind, I had no idea how to put in words what I had pictured in my head by when I received my bridals back Jodi had captured such beautiful pictures and moments it was more than I could have ever hoped or dreamed. My wedding was Saturday and even in the stressful moments like when one of my groomsmen showed up 2 hours late! Jodi was there to calm me down because I was so upset that pre-wedding pictures were going to have to be postponed, she assured me it was ok and everything would work out and it did. I would highly recommend Jodi. She is caring, loving, and very professional. She gets the job done and does it all with a smile on her face. I can’t tgank her enough for all she did to make my day so special!! I can’t wait to get my photos back!!
Where could I possibly start when reviewing how spectacular it was to work with Jodi?! My wife and I hired her from out of state and by the time we actually were able to meet her, she felt like family. Jodi stayed in constant communication with us and answered all of our questions (even when we asked her the same ones more than once). One the day of the wedding, she showed up on time, professional dressed, and completely prepared.
Her passion shines through her work and her attention to detail is incredible. Jodi was hands down the best vendor we worked with during wedding planning. If you don't book with her, you are doing yourself a disservice.
We worked with Jodi for our wedding and she is such a joy to work with! So professional yet so friendly and really made us all feel so comfortable during the day! Our initial meeting was great, too, as we discussed our visions for the wedding and she definitely delivered! I loved working with Jodi and we’ll definitely want to work with her the next time we need any photography of sorts! :)
Jodi was amazing to work with. When looking for my photographer, I knew I wanted someone who made us comfortable and Jodi was exactly that. She didn’t feel like our photographer but someone we have known for many years. She brought so much joy to the day and helped me feel at ease when I was overwhelmed. She was such an important part of my day and I couldn’t imagine it being the same without her. Not only did she capture the major moments of my day but she captured so many small, special moments that I’ll cherish forever. She made everybody so relaxed while shooting and truly captured our personalities in every picture. If you want someone to photograph your wedding who is more than just a photographer but feels like family, Jodi is the absolute best choice!
Every part of our experience with Jodi from booking through receiving our wedding photos was extraordinary. Our engagement pictures were phenomenal even with the mist and rain we had that day and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera which we were really nervous about. Our wedding pictures were everything we could have asked for and more and everyone loved her sweet personality! She is amazing at capturing those tiny moments that aren’t staged, but are so pure and honest, which was exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
I highly recommend booking Jodi for your upcoming wedding. She photographed my wedding in April this year and the images came out perfect. We had a lot of issues on the day, with the weather and the power going out in the main hall for the reception, but this did not at all affect Jodi. She still managed to get spectacular photos of all the guests.
My favorite part of the wedding was when the bridal party and groomsmen were waiting for everything to settle down and Jodi took such great photos of us having fun and laughing. It was so great to have her there, more as another friend, rather than a non-participating photographer. Those are the memories I will cherish the most and I was so lucky to have Jodi as our photographer because she is able to get along with everyone, while also paying such close attention to these intimate moments.
My husband and I aren't people who are comfortable in photos but Jodi put us right at ease by making us laugh and letting us be ourselves but giving us just the right amount of direction so it looked like we knew what we were doing.
Honestly, she made look and feel like the most beautiful bride. Despite all the hick-ups of the day Jodi captured all of the beautiful and intimate parts and made the hick-ups look like a lot of fun. This in the end really is what made everything ok, her calm and positive attitude, cannot be replicated by anyone else.
Jodi is spectacular and I cannot wait to work with her again!
Simply put shebis amazing and you won’t be disappointed
Loved working with Jodi!! She is truly the best!
I’m gonna start this off by saying Jodi is AMAZING. She’s so patient, kind and wonderful to work with. Her photos are absolutely stunning and she works with you to capture your wedding in a way that’s near and dear to your heart. She literally got us through our wedding day and I’m so thankful that I chose her to capture this special part of my life!
We are thankful to Jodi, for her attention to detail and for helping make this day so "us". Kyler and I knew right away that we trusted Jodi to capture our commitment to each other and our celebration amongst loved ones. We both teared up once we saw the photos.
My best friend hired Jodi to do a photoshoot for my 30th bday. The day I met with Jodi to talk about location, ideas etc my husband and I fell in love with her and her work in that moment that we immediately booked her as our wedding photographer! We hadn't even booked our venue yet but we knew we had to have Jodi to capture our special moment. She did my 30th bday photoshoot, our engagement session, my bridal session and our wedding day. Jodi is full of energy, dedicated and with so many great ideas. Her work is just completely amazing and breathtaking. If you are looking for someone to capture what you have always dreamed of and at the same time make each photoshoot a fun, memorable experience, then Jodi is the perfect person for you!
I picked Jodi out while living up in Washington. I knew right away she was the one. I searched through tons and tons of local photogs in Texas and when I saw her work I knew she was the one!
Jodi is our wedding photographer. From day 1 when I saw her work I knew I had to book her! I am a huge fan of her photography, it’s is stunning! She has been my rock in guiding my wedding planning. She’s the person I can turn to for advice on the big things. She’s knowledgeable, has great energy, is so incredibly kind. She worked with us to make our dream come true. Totally recommend!!
My wife and I met Jodi back in February and we were immediately impressed with her demeanor and attitude towards her job. We love that she focuses on the customer and their likes and dislikes. This made us fee more than welcome to suggest any changes that we may have wanted or needed at the time. Thank you Jodi we really appreciate it.
Jodi is amazing! We booked her for our engagement, bridal, and wedding pictures and I was so happy with how they turned out I cried (tears of joy)! She did such a wonderful job capturing the emotions of everybody and they are simply beautiful. My husband and I have never had professional pictures done before and we were nervous and awkward in the beginning, but Jodi is so personable and funny that we opened up and had a lot of fun! Jodi is respectful and professional, but at the same time it was like she was a part of the family on the wedding day. We have received TONS of compliments on the beautiful pictures and I will never go to any other photographer. Thank you Jodi!
My words won’t give justice to the absolute beauty of Jodi’s work. We loved her photography, friendliness and professionalism! I felt beautiful in my wedding dress, but after seeing the photos that Jodi took, I felt like the most beautiful bride ever! Jodi B Photography is my number one recommendation for any couple tying the knot.
We loved Jodi! She was professional and courteous, always asked what we wanted, and gave us her all with everything we requested. She was honest enough to give of her opinion and even was comfortable enough to suggest things we could do. She was kind, yet stern is requesting poses for us and also listened to ur requests. Whatever we envisioned, she brought to life and then some. She was an absolute joy!
Jodi is a great photographer! She was my wedding photographer and did a fantastic job capturing every moment between our family and friends.
We ADORE Jodi! We originally found her when helping my sister plan her wedding. She did my sister’s engagement photos and her bridal portraits. My fiancé and I booked her for our engagement photos around the same time, and we have gotten so many compliments on the beauty and quality of the shots! When my sister’s wedding rolled around, Jodi was cheerful, engaging, and energetic during the ceremony and reception. The photos turned out gorgeous, of course. Our family couldn’t be happier! Her pricing is competitive and I like that you have access to all the photos to review and order. On a personal level, Jodi is sweet, attentive, honest, and fun! I already booked her for my own wedding next year. Thank you, Jodi!
Jodi was my wedding photographer and she also did a boudoir shoot for my husband. Her personality is very fun and comforting. At every shoot I felt so at ease and very comfortable in my skin. MShe is very very talented and pays attention to every detail to make every shot special. When I received my wedding photos they were better than I could have imagined! I loved working with her and will continue to hire her services. I would recommend her to anyone!
