Rodney Bailey Photography bio picture

Let Our Passion Tell Your Story!

Rodney Bailey of Wedding Photojournalism by Rodney Bailey (www.RodneyBailey.com) is a photojournalist in the purest sense.  He does not manipulate his surroundings, orchestrate his subjects or distract the moments he is capturing.  He has documented weddings for twenty years in this unobtrusive (and now, trendy) approach and is one of the most sought after wedding photographers in Washington DC.  He has also worked in destinations such as Bermuda, Paris and Rome. Rodney’s work has been featured in many of today’s top bridal magazines including Modern Bride, The Knot, “I Do” for Brides, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Engaged, Elegant Bride and Wedding Dresses.  Rodney is also commissioned for corporate, fashion and commercial photography projects, though weddings still remain his passion.

 

He has captured images for the Library of Congress, Vogue and Disney, as well as Oprah Winfrey and O Magazine. Rodney has been voted the “Top Photojournalist” in the Washingtonian Magazine for ten consecutive years and is featured in Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine as one of the top five photographers in Washington DC. And, Rodney Bailey has not slowed down yet! In the first half of 2008, Rodney was featured on ABC Nightline’s “Sign of the Times” as a leading trendsetter in wedding photography and was a Platform Speaker at the annual WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographer International) conference in Las Vegas. He was also spotlighted in the March 2008 issue of Rangefinder Magazine in a five-page article highlighting his work, unique style and his 18 year career. Most recently, Rodney inspired and mentored many aspiring photographers as he traveled to Korea and Japan on a week-long speaking tour in July.
