My Vision
Finding inspiration through visual storytelling
About Me
My name is Jordyn and this is my space for all things creative, beautiful, and inspiring. I'm a South Carolina native and a graduate of Clemson University, with a degree in Communication and Brand Creation. Those that know me know that I am a dreamer. Some of my loves include traveling, meeting people, watching movies, reading books, trying new foods, going to concerts, buying flowers- & of course documenting it all with photographs. I started photography at a young age and continued to learn and grow in this art throughout high school and college. I love working with people & I've always had a dreaming, creative, and visual side to my personality and skill sets. So, here I am now, taking people in love's pictures full time for a living and I couldn't be happier or more blessed. Obviously if you’re reading this, you know I love taking pictures of people in love, but the reason why is because I’m obsessed with stories.
Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always loved stories. I’d classify myself as a great lover of books, movies, music & people. I now know that it’s because my dreaming heart longs to be a part of the stories of people’s lives. My hope is that I get to participate in the story telling through this business of mine (which doesn’t ever feel like work if I’m being honest), and that my photographs share the stories of the the people I’m meeting, the things I’m learning, and the wonderful places that are asking to be explored in this beautiful world.
I'm so excited to continue my journey in photography through the years and cannot wait to meet the people who's stories I get to share, the love I get to capture, and the relationships I get to build through this platform. Although taking pictures is my ultimate love, that's not my only priority within this little business of mine - I want to make meaningful relationships with the people I get to work with. I want to cheer you on, love you, and get to know you genuinely, so that I can tell your story true to who you are. Authenticity is one of the highest values in my life, so I want to be myself and serve you with the gift of photography in a way that captures who you truly are, what you love, and what you value, while giving us each a new & lasting friendship for the years to come.
I fully grasp that it's an absolute privilege to be the photographer to take pictures of the special moments in your life, and I'm absolutely honored every single time someone trusts me with those moments - big & small. With this being said, If you value these same things that I do, then I would love to talk to you about working together. Click the button to submit a contact form & slide into my inbox!

Q & A
Question
Answer
How would you describe your photography style?
I try to keep my pictures pretty similar to what I see in real life. So that means if it's bright and colorful where I'm shooting or if it's overcast with darker colors it's all pretty much going to come through in the way I take my pictures and the way I edit them. I love my pictures to have a richness and a creaminess to them that is a little bit more than what meets the eye in reality, but ultimately captures the moment true to real life.
Are you willing to travel for photography?
Heck yes I am! I am willing to travel just about anywhere because I love exploring new places and getting out of my comfort zone. About half of my weddings are in the Greenville area and half are out of state or international. If you live in an area far away from Greenville, no worries at all! We can talk through what it will look like for me to travel to you for your wedding or session and figure out all those details. So don't be scared to fill out a contact form!
What is your favorite thing to shoot on a wedding day?
I actually love shooting candid moments the most. Besides that, my other favorite pictures to shoot are bride and groom portraits and I love group bridal party pictures because I try to make them fun so we can have a good time and see the joy & celebration in the pictures!
Do you recommend doing a first look on a wedding day?
Okay, so I loveeee first looks. I think they are intimate and give brides and grooms time by themselves on the wedding day. But here’s the thing - everyone is different. So my first priority for your wedding day is always to help make your day exactly what you want it to be. So if tradition is super important to you, I’m never going to pressure you to do a first look and your day will still be so special and exactly what you want it to be!
If spending lots of time with your future spouse throughout your wedding day is the most important thing to you and having more time to get pictures together, then I am fully going to recommend doing a first look to give you guys that special time together and to help make your day personal and exactly what you want it to be. There are only certain instances when a first look is necessary in order to get the pictures we need (ex: winter when the sun sets earlier, when the ceremony is long and there is a lot of travel time to get to the reception location, etc.). If you would like to have my full pros/cons list for first looks I would love for you to ask me about it and we can chat.

“I stumbled upon Jordyn on Instagram in my search for a wedding photographer. I was immediately captured by the timeless look of her photos. I inquired and booked her and the rest is history. Jordyn is such a gem in every way. We met for the first time in Nashville for our engagement photos. Cody and I both felt like we had known her forever. She put us at ease and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera despite the 12 degree temps. We got dinner after and quickly realized we were gaining a friend in Jordyn not just a wedding photographer. Our engagement photos were stunning and it was nearly impossible to pick just one photo to use for our save the date. Fast forward to our wedding, she sent us a beautiful guidebook ahead of time to create a plan and help us be on the same page with what to expect. I had always worried I was going to feel like I was jumping from photo to photo and miss being present on the actual day...not the case at all.
Jordyn is organized and so speedy. She was patient and kind with our crew and quickly captured photos so that we could really live in the moments of our day. She fit right in with our friends and family and I got a million comments after the fact about how wonderful our photographer was. I can’t put into words just how thankful we are for the connection we shared with her. Jordyn is incredibly talented and detail oriented which comes through in every single image she produces. When we received our wedding photos I spent hours scrolling through them re-living our day. I will treasure these images forever. She absolutely nailed EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. There are a lot of great photographers out there, but Jordyn’s kind heart, talent, and love for her work is absolutely unmatched. STOP LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER: BOOK JORDYN NOW!” - Kaylee
