"I cannot say enough about Jordyn!"

Her professionalism, her craft, her energy. Everything she brings to the table is beyond perfect. There were several moments of our wedding day that we were feeling overwhelmed and Jordyn snapped us right back in and made things so easy. She is a real girls' girl, but her photography and editing skills take the cake!

"I wanted someone I could fully trust to capture and preserve every moment."

Right from the start she was patient, responsive, and always willing to meet or talk through anything I needed. On the wedding day she was truly a rockstar. She kept us calm when we were running behind, helped with little things like my train, and wrangled our wild group with ease. We never felt awkward or uncomfortable; she helped us feel like ourselves. Nick and I are absolutely in love with our photos, and we're so grateful we chose her to capture such meaningful memories that we'll cherish forever.

"Jordyn is amazing and captures everything beautifully!"

She was able to capture my wedding day so well and the emotions that were displayed in the pictures were epic! Highly recommend her for any moment that you want captured!
