Jody Atkinson Photography Central California and Bay Area wedding and portrait photographer. Not getting married in California? Message me for special destination wedding pricing!

I am a natural light photographer in Central California specializing in unique relaxed lifestyle type portraiture. If you want super posed formal portraits I am not your girl. I like to capture real moments and real emotion. I approach all my sessions/weddings the same way, striving to capture memories and moments that you will look fondly on for years to come. My photographic style is modern (yet

timeless), fresh and simple. I like to focus on bringing out the natural beauty and personalities in my clients, rather than hiding them behind layers of props and excessive editing. www.jodyatkinson.com

Because we had only a few short minutes for sunset portraits during Alessandra and Louis' wedding Beckie and I worked quickly to get multiple angles and shots. This is just one reason I love having a second photographer with me on a wedding day! We can shoot the same pose and location from different creative perspectives.
Side note:; I am devastated is moving to New Zealand. This was our last wedding together!

Sharing some fun film scans from Sasha & Adam's engagement session today. We were running out of light as I was trying to finish up the roll so my shutter speed was slow, but I love how film handles motion blur!

Spring engagement sessions just hit different. Perfect weather, partly cloudy dreamy light and wild flowers. 🤩

Lazy days spent on these lounge chairs and taking regular dips in the ocean steps away is definitely a favorite memory I have of our travels! Can't wait to visit this beautiful island of Paros again someday!
And of course travel photos always look better on film!

PSA: Your engagement session doesn't have to be outside! Especially during winter and Spring when the weather is unpredictable. This session is one of my favorites. Shot inside of The Darling hotel in all it's art deco perfection! Message me if you are interested in a shoot like this. I would love to photograph at The Darling again!
