About The Narrative Weddings (Photo + Video)

The Narrative Weddings (Photo + Video)

Photographer

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

​I exist to create romantic images that will allow you to relive your favorite moments over and over again. I serve couples who: - enjoy or create art - have a vision for the wedding - are having intimate or non-traditional celebrations - care deeply about their wedding photos - love passionately

    Make sure your wedding date revolves around Jarrod and Taylor’s availability. Booking The Narrative was easily one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding. We had initially sought them out for their mix of digital and film photography and what we got. They didn’t just capture our day, they became a meaningful part of our story. From the very first interaction, Jarrod and Taylor made us feel like we were working with friends who also happen to be absolute professionals. We had the privilege of working with them for both our engagement photos and wedding day, and every step of the way they came fully prepared. They had researched locations, brainstormed creative ideas, and scouted perfect backdrops, but they were never rigid. They made thoughtful suggestions and adapted seamlessly to what felt most natural and comfortable for us, creating a fun, relaxed environment that allowed us to just be ourselves. We were originally drawn to Jarrod and Taylor because of their beautiful blend of digital and film photography, but what we got was so much more than just stunning images. We found two people who cared deeply about telling our story and making sure every moment felt effortless, authentic, and full of joy. Their gift lies in capturing candid, emotional, genuine moments. We never once felt forced into poses that didn’t feel like us. They kept the mood light and stress-free, allowing the real emotions and authentic moments to unfold naturally. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will capture the essence of your love story, the real emotions, the in-between moments, the happy tears, and the belly laughs, Jarrod and Taylor are it. Of course, they thoughtfully cover the important family portraits and all the classic moments that matter to every couple and family, but what makes them truly exceptional is how they capture the real heart of the day. The joy, the love, the energy - it’s all there in the candid moments they freeze in time, exactly how we want to remember it. There is a real reason their business is called The Narrative. Jarrod and Taylor don’t just take pictures; they tell the full story of your wedding day through their lens. The way they anticipate moments, capture emotions, and preserve fleeting glances and tiny details is pure artistry. Their presence, warmth, humor, and talent made our wedding experience even richer. They are photographers, artists, and friends all rolled into one. What truly sets them apart is how effortlessly they make you feel at ease in front of the camera. They never make you feel staged or posed, and somehow manage to be everywhere without ever being intrusive. And there’s something extra special about being photographed by a husband and wife team who are so clearly in love and completely at ease with one another. Their playful, affectionate dynamic naturally fills the air with a sense of joy and lightness that makes you feel even more giddy, happy, and in love yourself. That energy seeps into every moment they capture. When we look back on our photos, we don’t just see images of the day. We feel the emotions, we hear the laughter, we relive each moment - and we think of Jarrod and Taylor. They left a lasting mark on one of the most important days of our lives, and us. If you want your wedding day to be captured with heart, intention, and pure artistry, do not hesitate. You’ll regret it if you don’t book them.

    People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens. With love and a lifetime of gratitude, Mike & Ali

    We are absolutely blown away by the wedding album Jarrod and Taylor created for us—every photo is more beautiful than the last. Their work didn’t just capture the details and emotions of our day, but truly the heart and soul of it all. We feel incredibly grateful to have had them as our photographers. From our very first meeting with Jarrod at the park for our engagement shoot, we instantly felt like we were hanging out with old friends—and that feeling only grew stronger throughout the process. By the time our wedding day arrived, they didn’t feel like vendors at all; they felt like cherished friends and part of the celebration. Taylor was incredible throughout the entire day—so attentive, kind, and supportive that many guests remarked she was basically my bridal attendant. Her warm, joyful, and calming energy helped us stay relaxed and fully present during the whole experience, and that made all the difference. Jarrod and Taylor were the first vendors we booked—less than a week after we got engaged—and it was absolutely the best decision we made. They’ve given us stunning memories to treasure forever. Now we’re faced with the wonderful challenge of choosing which photos to print and frame—there are so many amazing shots! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime and will always be cheering for Jarrod and Taylor and The Narrative Weddings. If you want photographers who capture not just images but the genuine story and spirit of your day, you can’t go wrong with Jarrod and Taylor.

    Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!
