I simply cannot sing enough praises for Emily Jordan. When my partner and I decided to elope in Seward, we embarked on a quest to find the perfect photographer, and fate led us to Emily through Google. Right from our initial correspondence, I had a feeling she was going to be exceptional. Little did I know, she would surpass our expectations in every conceivable manner. Emily took the time to engage with us, both over the phone and through email, prior to our big day. Her warmth and professionalism reassured us that we were in capable hands. But it was on the day of the wedding that she truly shone. Emily's dedication and attention to detail went above and beyond, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. We recently received our "first look" photos, and if these initial glimpses are anything to go by, I am utterly spellbound. Emily's talent is palpable in every frame, capturing moments of sheer magic that transport us back to that unforgettable day. I find myself utterly captivated, repeatedly revisiting these images, each time discovering new layers of beauty and emotion. In short, if you're searching for a photographer who not only captures moments but also creates timeless works of art, look no further than Emily Jordan. Trust me when I say, you won't regret it.

Was able to fly out to our cruise stop to take scenic alaska pics. Made us feel so comfortable (we're dorks). The photos came out so amazing!

4/04/2024 • Kylie M

We asked Emily to photograph an intimate Alaskan vow ceremony, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! The photos turned out beautifully - she made us both look our best, and she captured the true essence of our day. Emily was super communicative from the start and helped us plan out our schedule so we could fit in everything we wanted to capture on camera in our ~3 hours together. She was so easygoing, friendly, and fun to work with - I always hate taking photos and feel awkward doing so, but she made it so much easier! She was also incredibly accommodating to our requests - a family member in attendance passed away shortly after our ceremony, and she made sure I had photos from the ceremony to share at his memorial. We’re so glad she was able to work with us - our photos were the biggest investment in the day, but they were worth every penny. We would work with Emily again in a heartbeat!!!

Any questions?

Emily is incredible and we will choose her to document our life events again and again. As someone who had to plan a wedding without ever having been to one, Emily was a huge asset not only as a photographer but also assisting with timeline preparation down to what time sunset and high tide was to plan our perfect day. She is ever-patient with timelines not going completely as planned (do they ever?) and improvised to get candid shots that we weren't expecting but absolutely loved. When we got our photos, we cried from the way she perfectly captured our day, but also laughed ourselves to tears from the absolute debauchery of our wedding day and our true personalities showing through that was somehow beautiful and pure and HILARIOUS! Thank you Emily, we can't wait to work with you again!

If you are looking for a photographer for your engagement and wedding photos you will not be disappointed with Emily! My husband and I got to know Emily prior to our wedding completing an engagement shoot. This was a great way for all of us to get to know each other prior to our big day! I highly recommend an engagement shoot if your able! Emily worked closely with us with multiple phone calls prior to our wedding. This gave us the ability to have all the details / schedule figured out prior to our wedding day. On our wedding day Emily was professional, fun and felt like a friend. On a day when emotions are high and your photographer is there for so many intimate moments, Emily was perfect. She drove to our remote wedding location in the mountains and spent over 9 hours pouring her soul into capturing our love story. When we received our full gallery it brought me to tears. My husband and I could re-live our day through the photos. Her photos will capture your candid expressions and those of your loved ones and guests. Capturing candid expressions was so important to me and I was so happy with our finished gallery. Emily captures all the small details too. She is wonderful with kids, keeping them smiling and full of patience. I can not recommend her enough! You will not be disappointed! :) I will be using Emily for future milestones!

Emily did some family photos for us while we were in Alaska and she was easy to schedule with, communicative, and the pictures turned out wonderful!

10/05/2023 • Amanda M

I found Emily purely by chance, but from our first meeting over the phone I knew she would be amazing to work with for our wedding! She is one of the sweetest and pure hearted people you could meet. She helped us every step of the way with planning our Seward wedding all the way from Ohio. Then the wedding day arrived and she helped make it the most magical day ever. Never once did we feel awkward (I’m an odd ball about getting my photos taken) and she fit right in with our group. Emily is an amazing photographer who has an eye for her clients. She was able to truly capture the love and the goofiness my husband and I have. I’m still crying over how beautiful our pictures are. If you want the best photo experience in Alaska, I beyond recommend Emily. She’s become a true friend to me and I can’t thank her enough!

9/29/2023 • Maribeth D

There are no words that I can use to accurately describe how much of an AMAZING photographer Emily is. She captured our elopement - start to finish - including all of the important details that helped make our families feel as though they were present. Looking at our photographs - every emotion, feeling, and memory from our special day gets sparked. I had so many concerns with eloping but Emily was able to help put all of those to rest. I cannot rave about Emily’s work enough. HIGHLY recommend!

9/05/2023 • Sara R

Emily is a bundle of joy and positive energy on your wedding day. She is such a great adventure buddy and it’s easy to see she truly loves what she does. Even on a misty day in Seward, she made the wet and the chill truly a blast to be in by capturing some epic shots that really capture the beauty of the day.

9/03/2023 • Alex P

Emily did an incredible job capturing our day, and it was genuinely a joy to have her energy at our wedding. Looking back through the gallery was like experiencing the full day all over -- and we got to see some joyous moments between guests that we didn't see day of. She made the process of planning easy, and got all the family and friend photos done before the ceremony so once we got started we could just enjoy our party and be present. Cannot recommend Emily highly enough.

8/10/2023 • Kristin A

She was an absolutely delightful human and did a fantastic job on our photos!

7/17/2023 • Karen P

I can’t recommend Emily enough!!! She is absolutely AMAZING!! Story time… We live in Georgia. Annabelle, Tucker and his parents were vacationing in Alaska this summer. Alaska is Annabelle’s favorite place to visit so when Tucker made the monumental decision to ask Annabelle to be his wife he knew he wanted to ask her while they were there. After many phone calls, emails, and hours spent looking at websites we found Emily Jordan!! She helped Tucker plan a surprise engagement from 4500 miles away!! With plans in place a time and a location set. I headed to Alaska to join in on the surprise. However, in true Alaska fashion the weather is always unpredictable and bad weather moved in and plans had to be changed. With rain in the forecast for the original date Tucker turned the RV towards Seward to beat the high wind advisory. At 9 pm they “decided” to go see Exit Glacier. They pulled over on the side of the road with mountains all around them and a glacier river running in front of them and there Tucker asked Annabelle to marry him. Emily, after already shooting a wedding that evening met us out at Exit Glacier to capture these precious moments for Annabelle and Tucker. As Annabelle’s mom I am so very thankful for all Emily did to help make my girls dream come true!

6/30/2023 • Samantha C

Emily did our engagement shoot last year and finally our wedding last week. She is absolutely amazing! She is so kind and easy to work with, and is really dedicated in making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos are beautiful. I can't recommend her enough!

11/26/2022 • Sonya S

Emily was absolutey amazing! She guided us and our party (& guests!) in poses and where/how to stand for the best photos, and it really shows in the product! On top of that, she was amazingly complimentary and we all had such a great time taking pictures with her!

9/15/2022 • Addie B

Emily was a great find! We didn't know the area at all and she picked several beautiful locations that we could not have found on our own. I asked for big beautiful landscape shots with our wedding photos and she definitely delivered! Emily made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the shots. She directed us in some great poses and I absolutely LOVE how the photos turned out. Emily communicated promptly and always answered emails from us. I would highly recommend her for your elopement photos!

8/18/2022 • Miranda D

She was so sweet! I absolutely loved her energy she brought to the wedding day!

6/18/2022 • Sara N

Emily was the best photographer a bride could ask for. She was so clued into the details and really fought for what we wanted. She was also spot on with the impromptu shots. If she suggests doing something (even if it isn’t on the schedule) run with it! Those were our favorite photos! The turnaround on the pictures were very timely. Emily has an eye for the gorgeous shots and also has a personality that makes you feel comfortable and confident. She is fun, adventurous, and a calming presence in the midst of a crazy and chaotic day. Cannot recommend Emily enough! She is AMAZING!

4/22/2022 • Allie H

Emily was an awesome photographer to work with! She fit right in and made the whole wedding experience enjoyable and memorable. We didn't get to meet her until the day of our wedding but she instantly fit right in. Our whole family couldn't stop talking about how awesome and personable she was to be around. We appreciated all the extra work she did to get us all our pictures and her work didn't go unnoticed. We absolutely loved having her there and she fit right in. She was so much fun to be around and made all the pictures feel so easy and effortless, just like we wanted. I can't even imagine our wedding day being any more perfect for us and part of that was because of Emily! All of our pictures turned out amazing and the photos she provided for us will be cherished for a lifetime!

4/22/2022 • Raleigh S

Emily was an absolute DREAM to work with, she's incredibly friendly, outgoing and professional. She's so easy to get along with and when we met it was almost like we had been friends for years getting together to catch up. She was very thorough and detailed and was happy to answer any questions I had throughout the entire process of planning, shooting and everything afterwards. I would 100% recommend hiring her, she is the ONE! She far exceeded my expectations and the entire experience was smooth and seamless.

Response from the Vendor on 05/03/2022

Reading this melts my heart!!! Thank you, lovely!!! Your session + you two were a dream! So glad we got you & Caleb a little slice of alaska to take home with you & hang on to forever.

3/19/2022 • Jessica D

While worrying about so many other wedding details, the photographer was not one! Emily exceeded our expectations, from start to finish! We booked her for both our engagement pictures and wedding day. She is truly a joy to work with, so kind and easy to talk to. She was great for helping talk through wedding planning and stresses. She works with your style and how you like to be captured, whether posed or more candid. If it were not for the photo proof, I almost would have forgotten she was there! I mean that in the best way possible as she was great at blending in and not disrupting the flow of the day. One of my favorite aspect was how she captured the seemingly little details and moments that I'm sure would begin to fade with time (like how we ended up signing our marriage license on my father-in-law's back). I felt like we not only had a wedding photographer but a friend; someone who truly seemed to take deep care and consideration to capturing our day perfectly. We are so thankful we chose Emily to be our photographer, and we will be sure to choose her again for any other big life moments.

Response from the Vendor on 05/03/2022

Oh my GOSH, Jess! What a freaking honor to get a review like this! *insert happy dance* Capturing a love like yours in Seward was special beyond words. The people you brought, weather, doggos, RAINBOW, details and reception just seemed to all a...

lign so perfectly. I am so happy you chose me for this magical day & cant wait to capture your next chapter whenever it happens. Thank you for taking the time to write this. You’re an absolute angel.

3/16/2022 • Tim C

Emily was delightful in every aspect! So friendly and wonderful to work with! Her photos were absolutely amazing! Very flexible and accommodating and made our wedding day and our add-on day after session so wonderful! I can't recommend her enough!

10/26/2021 • Sami M

Emily was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, and the photos are STUNNING. I received 650+ edited photos, and it was so fun to look through them and see all the little moments she captured, both hilarious and heartwarming. We received all of the classic wedding photos, with the addition of beautifully captured candid shots that we would have missed out on. She even helped us tap our keg! Emily was so fun to work with and I highly recommend working with her!

Response from the Vendor on 01/28/2022

ts were a BLAST. Thank you for letting me capture you two at such a dreamy location & getting to get a sneak peek into the amazing love in your life!

8/03/2021 • JENNIFER B

Our Photographer Emily was a SUPER HUMAN Photographer! She made every part of our special day better in so many ways. From just being a calming presence to our children in the helicopter to providing us with gorgeous and magical wedding pictures- there just are no words to express how phenomenal our experience was with Emily. Any couple would be beyond lucky to work with her- she is superb on every level!

1/26/2021 • Supaluck F

Emily were amazing that's all I can say. We were putting ourself in a kind of rush when it comes to wedding. We made the wedding happened in 2 weeks and we found Emily just a week before our important day. Emily manage to squeeze us in her tight schedule. We've got many useful idea about the wedding and from her, not to mention about wonderful ideas of how to have beautiful wedding photos. The photos turnover time is reasonable and she was so punctual. Working with Emily was amazing. She's sweet, professional, flexible and everything you could ask for from a professional photographer. Highly recommended.

Response from the Vendor on 01/28/2021

Supaluck - thank you so much! Your day, even though rushed, was incredible. The perfect coffee shop wedding with all the amazing touches and treats you put in yourself made it extra lovely. I’m so happy you found me last minute & allowed me som...

1/14/2021 • Megan O

My husband and I got married in Seward in 2015. I first contacted Emily about doing an anniversary photo shoot and going to the same places we went for photos on our wedding day. Emily was professional and patient when our plans had to shift to a maternity photo shoot. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time, which wasn’t easy. We explored Lowell Point, the forest, fireweed fields, bridges, streams, and even hiked up to Exit Glacier. It was an all around amazing day thanks to Emily and we have fantastic photos to remember such an exciting time in our lives. We can’t wait to go back and have her take pictures of our newest addition!

Response from the Vendor on 01/17/2021

I loved that I got to capture such a fleeting & special time for you guys in the place you got married! From our first phone call I knew it was meeting and capturing you two was going to be so much fun, even with the changed plans. You both wer...

e incredible to work with & I can't wait for you to bring your little one with for some family photos. I'm so grateful for your incredible words, Megan!

9/17/2020 • Corrine R

Emily is truly passionate about photography and it shows in her work. Emily captured my wedding day and I couldn't have asked better quality. Through tough times she was always there for me if I needed anything. She was punctual and polite and courteous to my family and that mattered the most. All my guests still say how kind she was. Her work is beyond compare! I wish I could just share all my photos in this review section. Emily is someone I will never forget.

Response from the Vendor on 09/18/2020

Corrine, THANK YOU. The day & experience you provided for your guests was so special. The effort you put in & the way you handled the extra obstacles of 2020 was beyond impressive. I'm so grateful to have helped you through the process. I'm so ...

happy with how it turned out & that I got to capture the most beautiful moments for you!

9/16/2020 • Rhiannon B

AMAZING!! The only word I can use to describe Emily and her work. She shot our engagement photos in Seward and our wedding in Wasilla and the photos are just stunning. She captured real moments in such a beautiful way. I would hire her again in an instant!

Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2020

Thank you for your beautiful words, Rhiannon! Your backyard wedding, the details you paid attention to for your day & all the in between moments were so special. Congrats on the new home & can’t wait to see where life takes you two!

6/23/2020 • Donna S

Emily was epic! Easy to work with, affordable and oh so talented!! The pictures she took of my husband and I were priceless! I honestly can’t say enough great things about this talented young woman!

Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2020

Thank you so much sweet lady! I had the best time capturing your love! 😍❤️

First, Emily and family made our photo shoot an amazing experience. It's a long story to a winter wonderland wedding. Tomas and I spontaneously decided to elope for New Years in Alaska; both had never been to, always wanted to visit, and we love the snow. Of course, last minute planning was difficult. We both contacted multiple photographers. Not only does Emily's web portfolio speak for itself but she was the most personable from email, text, to phone consultation. To us that was a very important quality in developing trust. I say that because it's an important event, we were from out of state, and we didn't know anyone. She was also flexible with our preferred dates. She was always open to questions and was prompt with responses. The photoshoot was adventurous. Emily provided a positive energy. Aaron helped out with the props. Truman was a joy. Naturally it was chilly and then it started snowing during the shoot (a pleasant surprise). Hand warmers discrete as possible and snow boots under my dress. In the end, everything came together. It was the wedding shoot that we wished for and more. They were welcoming and fun. We feel blessed to have new friends and we are all overjoyed with the results! =)

Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2020

Oh my gosh! You’re review gives me all the feels! Thank you for finding me and deciding to elope to Alaska in the chilliest month. I can’t wait to see you guys again! The snow, frozen backdrop & your love were the dreamiest to capture. Definite...

ly grateful for meeting you & I know we’ll be seeing more of you & your happy family in the future! Thank you again so much lovely.

Emily is doing a great job! She is talented and detail-oriented. I had with her my first photo-shooting in my life and working with her is an unforgettable experience and also even If you don't know what to do, how to pose - She will tell you everything. I've received a great photos in a short time from her and I can't stop to looking on them.

Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2020

Oh gosh, Barbara! I love that this was your first shoot! The photos turned out amazing & I hope something you will always have reflecting your time here in Alaska from Slovakia. Thank you so much!

12/29/2019 • Holly R

My husband and I don't take a lot of pictures together and aren't super photogenic, but doing our engagement photos with Emily turned out to be a great experience! She had all the spots picked out on where to take the pictures and did a really good job making the poses seem natural, so we didn't have to think about a thing. And the photos turned out so amazing. We were very happy with her work and would definitely use her in the future.

Response from the Vendor on 12/29/2019

Thank you for such sweet words, Holly! Our photoshoot together was such an amazing afternoon. The sunset that day was unforgettable, as well as the love you two have for each other. That kind of connection is my favorite to photograph. Thank yo...

12/19/2019 • Kendra C

Emily didn’t shoot my wedding my did my first family photos with my new daughter. I’ve worked with a lot of photographers and I’ve never met someone like Emily. She was so on top of everything and took the extra time to get to know us before! Along with juggling the animals and my grandpas funny little comments, she delivered the best photos. Captures the light happy mood!

Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2019

Thank you for your kind words, Kendra! I loved getting to know your family & shooting at your family’s gorgeous property was an amazing treat! The love you all share for each other was overwhelming & so special to capture. Thank you again for l...

12/19/2019 • Mary M

Emily is the best! She did my family pictures last year and they turned out amazing. She is so fun and the easiest ever to work with, most importantly she made everyone feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured all of our personalities so perfectly in her work. I would (and plan to) continue to work with her over and over for every event in my life I want to remember. She has an amazing creative eye and along with her incredible attention to detail, you are sure to end up with the most beautiful and high quality images you will treasure forever. Can't recommend highly enough!!

Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2019

Oh my goodness, Mary! Your words are so beautiful. Thank you for your upbeat & positive attitude even when our shoot was in the cold. I loved our morning together photographing you all, especially all the pups. I can’t wait to shoot more magic...

al moments together in the future. I appreciate you so much! Thanks again.

12/19/2019 • Tylyn N

Emily was great to work with for family photos! She was early, full of ideas, and super patient while working with 12 people spanning 4 generations, all while the wind was blowing like 40 miles an hour.

Response from the Vendor on 12/29/2019

Tylyn! Thank you so much for your words. I loved being able to capture your entire family, from 1 to 80, in one photo together that I hope you all can look back at & cherish for years to come! Thanks again for your business.

12/18/2019 • Josey C

Emily is amazing to work with! She has an amazing energy about her and she loves spoiling her clients!

12/18/2019 • Gabrielle P

We had so much fun working with Emily! We met with her beforehand and she asked us questions to really get to know us and customize our shoot. She was so open to hearing about things and ideas we had liked and she brought her own ideas that made our shoot seamless, inspirational and fun. I loved our photos! Book with her! You won’t regret it!

Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2019

Gabi, you are an absolute angel! The amount of laughter you guys brought to the shoot was incredible. From popping champagne next to the ocean to the bare feet in the sand, this session will always be one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing...

Hello lovely! I'm a Montana cowgirl turned Alaska minimalist. Capturing love through family, engagement and wedding photography with the epic Alaska backdrop is my favorite challenge. I come from a big-loud ranching family, but now spend my days pursuing pure photos and positivity, enjoying life on top of a mountain with my fiancé and dog. I have a degree in journalism & after I left to travel the world with my camera. These experiences have made me an expert at communication, keeping my calm in chaos and paying attention to all the details. I can't wait to document the moments of your day!
