ABOUT
Our Story
Rivers Photo & Video began as a shared passion, fueled by creativity and a love for helping people see the beauty within themselves. Jackie has been in love with photography since high school, where she first started snapping photos for friends. She loved using her camera to reveal the beauty she saw in others and knew she’d found something special. This deep-rooted love for capturing genuine, heartfelt moments led her to wedding photography, where every emotion and fleeting glance held the potential for art.
Chris joined Jackie as her trusted assistant at weddings, keeping gear in check and helping her stay organized. Soon enough, though, his natural talent for videography became undeniable. With a background in capturing his own adventures—whether on a fishing trip or skimboarding on the coast—Chris was already a storyteller. Jackie encouraged him to try filming weddings, and it was a perfect fit. His knack for capturing those genuine moments and weaving them into a couple’s story made him a natural.
Weddings felt like second nature for both of us. We both love observing people and getting to witness some of the most personal, beautiful moments in their lives. After juggling Jackie’s 9-to-5 job and countless wedding weekends, we realized it was time to take the leap and pursue our dream together full-time.

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!"
