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 welcome here 🏳️‍🌈

Fun, Sincere, & Interactive Weddings

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

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.

“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!”

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.

“Our elopement photos are absolutely breathtaking and both Kelli and Jordan are beyond talented. We’re forever grateful for them and the amazing work they did! Jordan deserves more than a 5 star review and you’d be lucky if you end up booking with him.”
