Beautifully unpolished storytelling
For the whimsical, heartfelt, and a little bit wild
Does the idea of wedding feel more like a performance? Or a day packed with expectations that make your shoulders tense just thinking about them?
Because, same.
You're not planning a production. You're creating moments that matter.
Now that you have that part all figured out, you're probably wondering:
Where do we start?
Here’s the truth you’ve been whispering to each other for months: the traditional wedding blueprint doesn’t fit. It never has. Every time you picture the spreadsheets, the guest list negotiations, the timelines stacked with things you don’t even care about… something in you goes quiet.
Maybe you love your people, but you just don’t need a huge crowd of people watching your every move. Or maybe your family drives you crazy and you want it to be just you two.
You want connection and meaning. A day that feels intentional, like an intimate pocket of time carved out just for the two of you, without all the bulls*it. Because that endless marathon of traditions and lending yourself to people all day never actually resonated.
Maybe when you think about your wedding, you imagine something slower. Maybe it’s surrounded by trees, maybe it’s on a coastline, maybe it’s in a place that already feels like a chapter in your story.
You’re not avoiding a big wedding because you “don’t care enough.”
You’re choosing an elopement because you care deeply.
You're not expected to know it all. That's what I help untangle.
"We used Jordan for our elopement in Olympic National Park and we had a great experience! The photos turned out beautifully, and Jordan is super easy and fun to work with. We don’t live in Washington, so she recommended vendors and really helped us through the planning process. She also asked us for a mood board before the day, and captured the vibe we wanted perfectly. Jordan does a great job of making the pictures feel natural, we didn’t feel like we were posing for anything. We would highly recommend her to anybody who wants super unique and personalized photos for their elopement or any other special occasion!!"

I’m Jordan, your film + digital Washington Elopement photographer. When I’m not helping you map out the dreamiest, low-stress wedding day or guiding you into poses that feel like you, you can usually find me curled up with a book, soaking in a too-hot bath, or cooking some deeply cozy soup. If my spaniel mix, Artie, isn’t asking for attention, I’m usually wandering the Frye Art Museum in Seattle with a coffee in hand. You’ll find music is always playing in the background. Anything from Beyoncé to LCD Soundsystem. Whatever fits the mood. I like to keep life flexible, easygoing, and full of little joys. Which is exactly how I approach your elopement day.
I’m your photographer, timeline-translator, vendor-connector, calm-in-the-chaos presence, rolling with whatever the day brings. I’m here for the real stuff. The quiet glances, the weird jokes, the shoulder-relaxing moments where you forget the camera is even there.

"Jordan is truly one of those people who make you feel comfortable in their presence immediately. She was so attentive and made sure we got every shot that we had wanted and her communication throughout the entire process was just fantastic. She is so talented and we’re both incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her on the most important day of our lives!"

Working with me is all about keeping things organic and letting moments unfold in their own time. I’m not here to force poses or make you “perform.” I guide when you need it, step back when you don’t, and help you settle into a rhythm that feels natural and easy for both of you.
Quiet or playful, structured or go-with-the-flow.I read the energy of the moment and move with it. The small glances, the soft pauses, the unexpected bits of humor… those are the moments that shape your day, and those are the moments I’m drawn to.
I’m with you through every part of it, whether it’s planning a timeline or helping the day feel grounded so you can focus on what actually matters: being present, feeling your feelings, sharing snacks, taking breathers, and just being yourselves without the pressure of a camera in your face.
This isn’t just about photos.
It’s about creating space for you to live your day fully and honestly.
So let’s make room for the real stuff. Together.

"We absolutely loved working with Jordan! She made what could have been a very awkward day of posing for intimate photos feel so fun and natural. My partner and I love the different locations she took us to and the result is some of our favorite photos as a couple!"
