I'm Destiny!
Hi, Im Destiny.
A Wife, Mama, and photographer based on the Alabama Gulf Coast. I’m so glad you’re here!
THE WEDDING experience
I – Consultation & Custom Proposal
Your wedding photography experience begins with your consultation. We’ll get to know each other and learn about your dreams for your wedding. We will also walk you through your experience with Goodie and Smith Weddings as well as answer any photography questions you may have for us! Once your consultation is over, I will have all the information I need to curate your custom proposal tailored to your wants and needs!
II – Booking & Welcome
To secure your date on our calendar all I need is a signed contract and $1000 retainer. Your balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding and may be paid at any time in any amount via our secure online invoicing. Once we’re official, I love welcoming our new couples with an online announcement and a gift that includes a handwritten thank you note and some delicious cookies from our favorite local baker!
III – Engagement & Bridal Sessions
Once you’ve been welcomed as an official #GandSCouple, the next step is planning for your pre-wedding sessions (if you chose to include any in your collection). When it’s time for your engagement and bridal portraits, I’ll curate a collection of images that reflect who you are as a couple as well as complement your personal style and home decor. I help you prepare for your session with our Engagement Session Guide that walks you through choosing the perfect time, location, outfit and more!
IV – Timelines & Vendors
As a type-a professional, we make sure that your wedding day is ORGANIZED! I’ll touch base throughout the planning process, making your experience effortless! I am happy to serve as a resource for couples, connecting you to the best vendors, providing them with engagement session prep, and more!
8 weeks from the wedding date I’ll begin to discuss the timeline for your day and the family formals list. I make sure that no detail or portrait gets missed. I have these finalized 4 weeks from the wedding day so that you can check it off your list!
V- Your BIG DAY!
This is the easy part! Your job is to enjoy the day.
Our team will be by your side to capture all the moments and memories that you’ll share together as a bride and groom and with your family and friends.
For the couple, the day is such a blur. This is why I approach the wedding with a goal of telling the story of the day. I believe in preserving your love!
VII – Album & Wall Art Delivery
Relive your BEST DAY! Telling your story with your album and wall art in your home is so meaningful! We believe in documenting your wedding authentically and artistically. When you invest in a professional artist your images deserve to be re-lived time and time again!
Our heirloom albums and custom wall art are handcrafted in the United States and built to be timeless!

THEY HAVE THE KINDEST THINGS TO SAY
“I cannot express how happy and pleased that Jessica from Goodie and Smith photographed our wedding in October 2021”
I cannot express how happy and pleased that Jessica from Goodie and Smith photographed our wedding in October 2021 at St. James Episcopal Church followed by reception at The Grand. From the surprise welcome package on our front porch, to the detailed itinerary of the actual wedding day, the professionalism, the kindness, the above-and-beyond coordination of my bridal party and family on the day of, the absolutely stunning photographs and then final wedding book that was perfection… I am positive we have found our family photographers for life! What a blessing the entire team was – thank you Goodie and Smith!

“Stop! Look no further! They are the best in the business and will make YOUR day something far beyond special”
Her attention to detail and flexibility had the entire process so fun and exciting for my wife and myself. One of the most special moments was the First Look.She found the perfect location and arranged everything so when I first saw my wife it was something I will remember for the rest of my life. It was so intimate and unique I didn’t even know Jessica and her assistant where there til I was embracing my soon to be wife and wiping away tears.
