ABOUT
Our Story
Rivers Photo & Video started as our shared love for creating and capturing real moments. Jackie fell for photography back in high school, taking photos of friends and realizing how powerful it was to show people their own beauty. That passion grew into wedding photography—where every smile, tear, and glance tells a story.
Chris started out helping at weddings but quickly found his own spark in videography. With a love for storytelling and a knack for catching candid moments, filming weddings just clicked.
Now, documenting love stories together feels like second nature. After balancing 9-to-5 jobs and weekend weddings, we took the leap—turning our passion into the dream we live every day.

01 . Get in Touch
02. Planning & Engagement Session
After securing your date, we’ll plan an engagement session—a fun, relaxed way for us to get to know you and for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. These photos are perfect for save-the-dates, guest books, or home decor!
As your day approaches, we’ll send a detailed questionnaire to gather all the important information: timelines, family photo lists, vendor contacts, and special details. This helps us coordinate smoothly and lets you focus on enjoying the day.
03. Wedding Preparation
On the big day, we’ll be there from the start, capturing every moment as it unfolds. Our approach is to blend in, ensuring a natural flow and capturing every little detail, from getting ready to the sunset portraits and everything in between.
04. Your Wedding Day
We know you’ll be excited to see your photos! Within a week, we’ll share a sneak peek so you can relive the day right away. Your full gallery and films will be ready within 8-10 weeks, meticulously curated to meet our high standards.
05. Sneak Peeks & Final Delivery
After your gallery is delivered, we can work together to create a wedding album. It’s a beautiful, timeless way to preserve your favorite moments, letting you relive your day for years to come.
06. Optional Wedding Album Creation
Our Style
From the beginning, we were drawn to a documentary-style approach, focusing on real, candid moments. We want our couples to look back at their photos and film and feel like they’re reliving each second. Those memories become priceless, tangible keepsakes of one of the best days of their lives.
Today, our greatest joy is capturing love stories together, building a lifestyle that lets us spend time together while scratching that creative itch. Every wedding and session renews our passion and keeps us excited for what’s next!
Our Why
“Capturing weddings isn't just about documenting love stories; it's about building a foundation for our family's dreams. Each wedding we photograph isn't just a job; it's a testament to the values we hold dear and the legacy we strive to leave behind. We shoot weddings not just to create tangible memories for you, but to inspire, showing our son that he can achieve his dreams by following his heart.”
"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!"
