Our Story
We’re Jackie and Chris, a husband and wife photo and video team documenting weddings across South Florida.
We’re not here to turn your wedding into a production.
We’re here for the way your people look at you when you walk down the aisle. The hand squeezes. The shaky laughs. The grandma hugs. The dance floor chaos. The quiet little seconds you didn’t even realize were happening.
Rivers Photo & Video started with one simple belief.
REAL MOMENTS MATTER.
Jackie fell in love with photography because of what it gives back to people. Not perfection. Not posing. Proof. Proof that you were loved, held, celebrated, and fully in it.
Chris found his lane in video, where the emotion gets to move. The vows, the voices, the music, the feeling of the room. The parts you don’t just want to see again, but hear again.
Together, we document weddings in a way that feels calm, connected, and true to you.
-
We’re married. We’re parents. We know how fast life moves and how much the little in-between moments end up meaning later.
That’s why we care so much about the real stuff.
The wind messing up your hair. Your best friend crying before the ceremony. Your dad trying to keep it together. Your people absolutely losing it on the dance floor.
Those are the images and films that become family history.
-
Our work is warm, candid, and documentary-inspired. We’ll guide you when you need it, especially for portraits and family photos, but we’re never trying to force your day into something it’s not.
We want your gallery and film to feel like your memory.
Cozy. Emotional. Honest. Alive.
-
We’re calm when things feel busy.
We’re organized without making your day feel rigid.
We’ll help when you need direction and step back when the moment is already happening.Our goal is simple.
to help you stay present while we preserve what it felt like.
Want your wedding remembered this way?
If you’re looking for photo and video that feels honest, warm, and true to the people you love most, we’d love to hear what you’re planning.

Associate & Primary Second Shooter
"Jackie and her husband, Chris, did the photography and videography for our wedding. They did a FANTASTIC job! They are both super personal and easy to get along with. We had a couple of calls prior to our wedding date to go over the details and make sure we were all on the same page. On the day of our wedding Jackie and Chris showed up onsite before I even expected them! I did not have to advise them at all, they both bounced back and forth between the bride and groom suites capturing every moment leading up to our ceremony. They captured beautiful candid pictures of our ceremony, gorgeous portraits and fun shots of our reception. They took a world of stress off my shoulders because I knew I had two professionals who knew what they were doing!"
