What is “Dreadko”?

So before I introduce myself, I have to explain what “Dreadko” exactly is.

It’s actually fairly simple: Until a couple years ago, I had DREADlocks and my last name is RudKO.

DREADlocks + RudKO = DREADKO.


In reality, Dreadko, is just an idea…

It’s a character I created. It’s what all the best parts of me were. It’s what we all see as the ideal. It’s what everyday dreams are made of. It turned into what we all want: a smile.

Every single team member and couple that is tied to Dreadko IS what Dreadko is. We all make it a little more awesome, a little more inclusive, a little more fun, a little more unique. There’s nothing about this that you don’t have a part of.

I think it’s important to point that the primary focus of Dreadko is you; the couple. Other companies work for their paychecks. They work for status. I do this because I love what I do, love my couples, and I’m just crazy a artist living this thing called life.

Every party I capture is personal. Every couple becomes Fam to me. I’m not there just to only take photos, but to add to your special day as much as I can.


I, Jeremy, am a Jersey boy who loves the shore, takes pride in everything I do, and believe that laughter truly is the best medicine.

I have an amazing wife, and two beautiful children. I live in South Jersey (for now…), and am passionate about EVERYTHING that matters to me. I absolutely LOVE people, and daily aim to grow at showing love to everyone I meet. Weddings are some of the most fun I can imagine having, and have focused my efforts on creating an experience for all of our couples.
