About the Chief Photographer

Passion is my drive, creativity is my tool, and perfection is my goal. From day one, this has been the mission statement of professional photographer, D. Jerome Smedley. Raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Mr. Smedley has a true love and respect for photography. He studied Photography 101 and 102 at John Carroll High School, where he is a graduate, and Fine Art Photography and Development at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He has been professional trained by the best photographers in the areas of portraiture, weddings, and special event coverage. He has managed portrait studios

throughout the Birmingham area including Sears Portraits and the famous Olan Mills Portraits. He has received several recognitions for his color and black and white photographic art. He has worked for several major organizations and corporations including the SCLC, NAACP, Vibe magazine, The City of Birmingham, Alabama, Simply Fashion national campaign, Seagram’s Gin, Crown Royal, and countless others. His vision for his career is global, but his roots are still in the city and community that he loves and holds dear. “I was blessed to discover my dream and my talent at a young age. I have worked on locations and photographed people and things I could have never have dreamed of as a child. I love what I do and could not imagine doing any other profession that gives me the joy that being a photographer does. When you work with me, you are working with someone that has your best interest at heart. I will work diligently to bring your dream to reality. I will provide swift, professional service and always treat you in a courteous and professional manner. Your needs for your portraits, your wedding or your special event are as important to me as if it were my own, and I will not rest until you are happy. It would be my honor to serve you.”

ChoosingWhen you are choosing your photographer for your wedding, make sure they have THREE significant things:

1. Your Photographer wants to tell your story Your photographer has to want to know your love story as well as their own. Knowing your story helps your photographer not only create a memorable engagement session for you, but also know what to capture on your special day and give it that extra personal touch. 2. Your Photographer knows & respect your vision /dream You and your photographer have great communication & understanding of your ideas that you want. Your photographer will be able to capture your wedding the way you want it & create the poses that you had in mind if not better ones. Your photographer must also have the relationship with you that they can tell you if something you envisioned cannot be done exactly how you see it, but will work with you to create something similar if not better. Your photographer respects you too much to give you less than you deserve. 3. Your Photographer is a Seasoned Professional It is very crucial that your photographer has experience in wedding photographer and shooting in any and all lighting situations. You trust your photographer to be courteous, professional, timely and skilled in their craft. If you wanted just photos, you would ask your “family photographer” to do your wedding & not a professional.

IT WOULD BE OUR HONOR TO BE THE PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM FOR YOU!

would  rather  be  of  service  to  a  few  families,  that  we  consider  family,    for  a  life1me  than  to  a  mul1tude  of  strangers  who  don’t  

even  know  us.  Money  cannot  generate  genuine  love.  Only  knowing  and  truly  caring  for  someone  as  much  as  we  care  for  

ourselves,  can  generate  love.  We  wish  you  nothing  but  happiness,  blessings,  overflow,  and  joy  for  the  rest  of  your  lives.    

Be  blessed  and  a  blessing  always!
