capturing life's most wonderful moments

about jodie

I'm a Central Coast based wedding photographer and I've been photographing weddings for over twelve years. That's over 400 couples! I photograph weddings here on the Central Coast, Hunter Valley, Newcastle and Port Stephens and will travel further!

My philosophy is quite simple - beautiful images delivered to each and every client. My images are often backlit with a dreamy glow, soft shadows and a sharp focus. I have one simple package for a traditional style wedding day and options for small or elopement style weddings.

My shooting style is a little direction here and there, but it's the candids I love to shoot. Let me provide you with a gallery you will fall in love with, a combination of the quintessential images along with the spontaneous moments.

Over the moon we chose Jodie to photograph our wedding. She made us feel relaxed and comfortable on the day. The photos she took are absolutely incredible. Beautiful shots we will cherish forever. Jodie goes above and beyond. Thank you for making our day one we will remember forever!

I think finding a photographer is the hardest part of a wedding but from the first moment we met Jodie at a wedding expo we knew she was so right for us.
You want someone who has amazing photos, creativity, an outgoing nature, fun, easy to deal with and just down right beautiful.
Jodie was all of this and so much more!! Jodie's presence just made everyone feel so supported and it was as though we all knew her for years and just wanted her to join us in our celebrations.
Within less than 24 hours we had a large variety of photos provided to us already and they were so much better than we expected.
We are so happy we picked Jodie to capture our special day and we will be recommending her to everyone. We cannot thank her enough.

Where do I start!!

This is something special I offer my couples who book me for a full day of wedding photography.
Many couples are a little hesitant when it comes to being in front of the camera and this is my way of assuring you that there's nothing to worry about. You get to know how I work and just how easy and fun I make it. You also end up with a gallery full of beautiful images to show off.
It's nice to have a chat about the wedding but mainly this is for us to connect and for me to find out a little more about you.
The goal is for me to turn up on your wedding day and we feel like we're old friends!

When we first started looking for a photographer, I was instantly drawn to Jodie’s website from her breathtaking photos and her incredibly personalised blog for each of her couples. When I emailed and booked Jodie, she became my unofficial wedding planner. She recommended the best vendors.
On the day of the wedding was our first time meeting Jode's but it felt like we’d know her forever. She took the time to get to know all 12 of our bridal party’s names. She took absolute charge and made sure we kept to our time schedule to ensure we got all of our special shots but also allowed us to have input into what photos we wanted.
All of guests commented on Jodie, saying how approachable and easy going she was. One guest even asked if we knew each other prior to the wedding.
If the day wasn’t perfect enough she had such a quick turn around on our blog photos which allowed us to share some stunning photos with the social media world not too long after our wedding day.
We wanted a photographer who would obviously capture our day but someone who would join in on the fun and make us feel relaxed - Jodie did this and so much more.
This woman is just so lovely. She is so easy going and I’m finding it hard to accept that we don’t need to email anymore.
You’d be crazy not to have this gem of a lady capture your wedding day. My husband and I cannot recommend Jodie Reardon Photography enough.

First of all if I could give Jodie a million stars out of 5 I would.
My wife and I met Jodie at Mingara in 2019 whilst perusing other vendors on the coast for what was to be our 2020 wedding, however like so many other couples that was a bit of a let down losing out to hosting our event thanks to a worldwide unprecedented event (Yay 2020!...).
What drew us to Jodie as our photographer was not just the amazing photos that she had both in books and on canvas at the stall but her easy to talk to personability and the way in which she spoke not only to us but to all of those who were floating around and visiting her booth and the booths next to and opposite.
Seeing Jodie's work first hand my wife and I just "knew" exactly as it had been on our first date that we had found the person to capture such a special day for us.
With 2020 being the tumultuous year that it was, we still decided to go ahead with our Ceremony and unfortunately due to the restrictions on numbers could not have Jodie present with us. She contacted us and asked if we would like to do a shoot after the fact, which we agreed would be amazing and so began our first photography experience.
If you know my wife you know that she is one of the most photogenic people you can imagine, and Jodie used this to her advantage, capturing so many magical and special moments on that day including our furbabies as well. Fast forward a year and here we are, after celebrating our wedding with our families and friends on Saturday, we began seeing sneak peeks of the amazing photos at 8am on Sunday morning!! If you want a more committed photographer I do not know where you will find them.
Jodie, from both Jess and myself, thank you so much for your efforts, and for making me look semi-decent, a feat that is by no stretch of the imagination easy. I would recommend you to anyone and if you ever need confirmation for a potential client please send them my way. I will 110% sing your praises till the cows (or Bull Kevin, if you're at yarramalong valley farmstay) come home.
I am so proud to say that from a stranger we met on a whim, to a friend photographing our wedding that our Journey with you is not yet over and I cannot wait to call upon your services in the future.
Thank you.

I absolutely love Jodie and I will recommend her to everyone I possibly can! She is truly amazing!
I have used Jodie for both my engagement shoot and my wedding just recently and both times my photos were honestly impeccable and she was so fast and efficient at getting the images back to me, I was never waiting long at all!
Jodie really goes above and beyond for her clients and she is just always so happy and positive and patient throughout everything!
Thank you so much Jodie for being apart of my special day! You truly are an absolute legend!

"Wow! Where to begin? Jodie has an amazing talent! Our wedding photos are everything that we wanted!
During our wedding day Jodie was amazing, during the ceremony we didn't even know she was as there but she caught so many magical moments it was amazing!
After the ceremony Jodie knew exactly where to go and how to stand to capture the sun setting.
Nothing was too hard for Jodie, she was prepared for anything!
We are so thankful that we found Jodie and one hundred percent recommend her to anyone!
Thank you Jodie - you are amazing!!!

Jodie is such a lovely lady, she was a pleasure to have on my special day. When she walked in the room she had a massive smile, and brought a beautiful calming presence with her. It was like we had known her for years, we both felt so comfortable and calm around her. She is very efficient with the turn around of pictures and we had a sneak peak just days after and within a week we had a social media folder + within three weeks we had our USB filled with all our beautiful pictures! Highly Recommend Jodie - she also just won most voted photographer on the central coast"

Amazing photographer with so much patience, imagination and skill! Jodie was amazing on our wedding day, and astonishingly we had edited images the next day, wow! I know personally how long editing can take. Jodie will be the first person I recommend to anyone looking for a special photographer. She's so easy going, made everyone comfortable despite the 44 degree heat! Our wedding photos are perfect
