Utah Wedding Photographer

Wedding Photography With Intention

Capturing your moments with enthusiasm & intention, I interpret your wedding day with a focus on authenticity and introspection. With a style that is true-to-tone with a punch of contrast and vibrance, I aim to create images that will be cherished forever.

Based in Utah, available for weddings everywhere.

Everyone is always welcome here 🏳️‍🌈

Fun, Sincere, & Interactive Weddings

When choosing your wedding photographer, above all else you need to know WHO you’re selecting.

I am not a fly on the wall during your wedding day. There are photographers who employ a hands-off approach towards a wedding day which is totally fine. But that’s not me.

So who am I? 

I’m a wedding photographer who actually wants to capture the PERSONALITY of your day. Your family is going to love me during family formals, your guests are going to walk away with their next profile photo, and you’re going to be able to reminisce on how much fun your wedding was with an extensive gallery that tells your story.

They are two of the most caring, kind people and will be your biggest cheerleader when you need it the most (ie butterflies jumping out of your stomach before you walk down the aisle). Take one look through their blogs and photos and you'll see- they go above and beyond your wildest dreams to create the most beautiful, authentic, and timeless memories to help you relive your fondest moments. As I look back through my photos I think "How were Jordan and Kelli EVERYWHERE?".

Hi! I’m Jordan!

Originally from Athens, GA but currently based in Salt Lake City, Utah, I travel nationwide to capture weddings and elopements. My wife (2nd shooter) and I love to travel and as a result have structured my wedding and elopement packages with that desire to hit the road in mind. We especially love heading home to the East Coast to capture weddings in Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina as well as venturing all over the West Coast and Southwestern US.

“Jordan is AMAZING!! He was so helpful with our entire event, he offered to help us with a timeline & scheduling, & he is so professional. We did our engagements, rehearsal dinner and full wedding day and I could not wish for a better team for our events. We love Jordan and Kelli and would hire them again in a heartbeat!”

“I can’t recommend working with Jordan enough! He and Kelli shot our engagement photos last year, and they did our wedding photos just recently. They are both so easy to work with and made us feel at ease in front of the camera. Jordan did a phenomenal job at our wedding. Everyone at our reception talked about how you could tell he truly loved his job. We are so happy we chose Jordan to shoot our wedding!”
