Jordan Katz

t session, Jordan took her time to ensure we were comfortable and captured us in our genuine state. Her photos are not overly staged, authentic, and truly reflect the moment and emotion. For our wedding, she went above and beyond. She was nearly invisible throughout the day and was VERY conscious of everyone’s time and worked quickly with great direction while not being overly directive. We had multiple guests comment on this and how much they appreciated it. We love how she captured close ups of our guests throughout the night as well as all the details of the venue and day— both things we weren’t fully able to enjoy in the chaos of the day. Her presence is friendly yet very professional and calming. Her communication and preparedness was 10/10 the whole year before our wedding which as someone who planned her own wedding, was a BIG help and relief. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Jordan to anyone getting married!

ng with the best in the business. I had the pleasure of working with National Geographic Assignment Division. So I know what qualifies for great photography. Jordan Katz did an outstanding job capturing every aspect of our sons wedding- from getting ready, first look, the wedding and vows, the reception, the details at the reception, family and guest having a great time, a series of the couple after the vows to the details of all those special items that make the wedding personally unique. My husband said “I can’t believe they captured so much!!” And each image was so beautifully captured. Truly some of the best wedding photography I have ever seen. Here are my thoughts on why hiring a photographer for your wedding is so important: The dress will never be worn by the bride again. The flowers wilt and were thrown out. The meal was eaten and the drinks were poured. The cake is gone. The guests have left. But you have the best photos of your special day. You will always cherish the photos of a beloved relative capture of the happiest day of seeing a grandchild or loved one on this magical day. The only thing you have from your special day are the photos to cherish. And Jordan delivered that and more. I highly recommend her if you want your special day to be even more special.

was flawless, from beginning to end. The initial questionnaire was organized and thorough, the day of was seamless, and the photos were delivered in a timely manner on a user-friendly website. She was experienced, flexible, and organized. She kept us on track throughout the day, which was so helpful and made us all feel comfortable taking portraits (which doesn’t necessarily come naturally to us). She did a stunning job capturing all the little moments and lots of laughs in between. She is extremely talented and we feel so fortunate to have had the privilege to work with her! Could not be more thrilled with the entire process. Jordan was fantastic and we would highly recommend her!

great planning questionairre, asking all the right questions and bringing up things we hadn't even considered, and she flexible with how we want to be directed - portraits vs capturing things as they came - all of which we really liked. When we saw the photographs after the big day, 1) they looked great, 2) they captured all the special moments and smiles in between, and 3) I realized she was a magician because she moved around the ceremony and reception with such grace that my husband and I realized we hadn't really noticed her and yet she captured it all. To me that's a sign of an amazing photographer. We were so grateful to have her as part of our team for the Big Day.

the day which was so helpful. She did it all! We would absolutely recommend using her expertise for any occasion!

helped our day run smoothly and easily. She impressed everyone on-site, including our families, wedding party, and planner. But the best part of all are the final photographs, which are absolutely stunning. She delivered exactly what we wanted in terms of aesthetic and feel, managing to capture to joy and exuberance of the day while also giving us romantic and cinema driven portraits as well. We couldn’t recommend working with her highly enough.

d us feel really comfortable taking portraits before the wedding, which did not come naturally to us. We just got the photos back and they are amazing! Her photo sharing website is great too, we're working now on ordering prints and an album. Can't recommend Jordan highly enough!

ng process she provides questionnaires, sample timelines, and is quick to address any questions via email. But the real magic begins when she starts capturing the day. She was incredibly enthusiastic and made us instantly feel comfortable in front of the camera. She strikes the perfect balance between directing you in order to capture the shot, and manages to catch all of the natural moments in-between. She was the solo photographer at our wedding, yet multiple guests swore that there were two of her! She scouted out many locations within our venue that she wanted to use, and the results are wonderful. She is simply the best!!

2021. Throughout all of the changes and uncertainly, Jordan was flexible, understanding and tremendously accommodating. On the wedding day we both found Jordan so easy to work with and she was the perfect amount of hands-on when the situation called for it, and yet gave us space for natural moments. We were both camera shy and quite nervous - Jordans simple instructions gave us just the right amount of structure to allow for natural moments of intimacy to emerge. We asked Jordan for "documentary-style" wedding photography and we were so delighted and impressed by how much of the evening she captured. It was so meaningful to be able to re-live the magic of the evening through her carefully captured shots and beautifully precise timing. She is clearly so skilled in her craft and you can expect photographs that are not only meaningful, but also beautiful works of art you will want to have in your home.

ad I chose Jordan! She was an absolute delight to work with on the wedding day, and we were completely blown away by the photos! I mean wow! She captured the day perfectly and we have brilliant timeless photos that we will cherish forever. Very professional and friendly and we will be highly recommending her to our friends!

ly nice person overall and both her and her second shooter were a positive presence on the wedding day.

h. We hired her in the before times and she was super accommodating when we had to postpone the wedding and change venues. My now wife did some modeling in her past (humblebrag?) and knows her way around a camera. I do not, but Jordan did a great job of making me feel at ease with the camera and showering me/us in compliments as she was taking the pictures. Who doesn't enjoy being told they're beautiful and that their pictures look amazing? Jordan also did a great job at keeping the wedding party on schedule. We were able to get all the pictures we wanted and we never felt like we were being rushed. I very much recommend Jordan for your wedding. She'll do a great job , you'll like her, and you'll be filled with self-confidence from all her compliments.

was professional, kind, and very thorough in all her shots. Jordan captured some of the most special moments we have ever had, and we will cherish them for a life-time. We could not recommend her enough!

eel at ease with her down-to-earth demeanor. Several people from the wedding remarked to us that they knew our pictures would be great because Jordan was EVERYWHERE: kneeling down for the perfect angle, running to catch the action shots, moving around for the best light. The final pictures are amazing and we are so grateful that we invested in high quality photography with Jordan; it is worth every penny. She is a true artist and we couldn’t recommend her more!

as she reimagined the shoot to capture such a special day despite the pandemic and social distancing. Much of our family could not attend in person so having beautiful pictures and video to capture this special day was extra important. Jordan understood that and did a masterful job. And she did it all with a smile and a can-do attitude.

ken professional photos before, but even though we felt a little awkward at first, she helped us relax and have fun. The best part is she truly captured the sweet chemistry and dynamics of our relationship, and we’ll have these photos to remember for a lifetime. Can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding!

grapher that made him comfortable was a top priority. Within 15 minutes of walking around San Francisco during our engagement shoot my husband was laughing and chatting away. He had a great time and the photos showed it! Jordan was wonderful the day of the wedding. She was on time, great at capturing candid moments, and wrangled family members (including quite a few children) into group photos with ease all while making sure certain details like stray hairs, attire, and boutonnieres were perfectly in place. She captured all the shots and memories we were hoping for, plus so many more, and really captured the love, excitement, and energy of the day. We even got to see a few highlight photos of the day to send to family members before hopping on a plane for our Honeymoon! Jordan is a true professional and is great at connecting with her clients and making them feel at ease in front of a camera. She made the whole day so much easier and stress free knowing that we didn't have to worry about whether a memory was being captured, we could just enjoy the day. Thank you so much Jordan!

ow they turned out. She has great artistic vision and was able to capture so much love and emotion through her photography. To top it off, Jordan was professional, responsive, fun to work with and had a quick turn around time with the photos. Overall, she was everything we could ask for. We can't stop looking at our photos and reliving the special day through the creative and beautiful pictures she took!

he worked throughout the day and how beautiful the photos came out, we reached out to her to see if she would photograph our wedding in Los Angeles. I am so happy she photographed our wedding. It was probably the easiest decision of the entire wedding planning process, and Jordan is a dream to work with. The photos are beautiful (we also got them 6 weeks after the wedding date), and we feel really lucky to have them. Moreover, Jordan is so easy to work with, very responsive, and professional and accommodating. Jordan worked with our wedding coordinator on the timeline, sought our input on images during the lead up to the wedding, and captured amazing photographs (both candid and posed). 100% recommend!

Jordan to photograph our wedding was truly a phenomenal stroke of luck. She was creative, professional, a joy to work with, AND WE LOVE OUR PICTURES!!! Thank you Jordan!!!

only with online questionnaires to start to get to know us better, but also met us in person to get a true feel for our vibe as a couple (which totally showed up in our images!) and what we envisioned for our wedding day. Based on our projected schedules and desired shot list, she made clear suggestions as to the timing of our pictures, though spent so much extra time on her own to scout the venue and prep for the day. The day of, Jordan was ON IT! Early to every venue, scheduled but not hurried, and knew exactly what needed to happen at every moment. However, and perhaps the most mind blowing detail of them all — most everyone didn’t even notice her! We specifically asked for a lot of candids, and Jordan completely delivered, giving us of the best wedding images we’ve ever seen while in total stealth mode. My new Mother in Law couldn’t stop commenting on how Jordan was everywhere at once! 😂 She was behind the lens the entire night, and captured the evening perfectly. After our event, Jordan immediately sent us an online gallery of highlights and favorite shots to keep us satiated before all of them were ready. She offered clear and concise directions on how to download our photos, and ways to order framed prints or bound books from her if needed. OH - and I almost forgot the best part! As a thank you for booking with her, Jordan gifted us with a gorgeous leather notebook debossed with our names. I was so blown away by Jordan’s thoughtfulness, and because the style was right up our alley, we ended up using it as our guestbook. ❤️ Such a treasured keepsake! All in all, I couldn’t recommend booking Jordan enough. She heard us, understood us, and was the last thing we needed to worry or think about on our big day (which is stressful enough!) We have so many of her beautiful images framed in our home, and can’t wait to contact her again in the future for any of our special events. :)

, and so, so talented. We wanted a photographer that would capture the candid essence of our love, and also create a beautiful documentation of our wedding. With Jordan, we got both and then some! From the start, Jordan was professional, organized, and efficient--all while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. She's just so easy to get along with! This made it easy for us to have her there during the emotional moments leading up to the wedding. We felt fine with her there because we trusted her skills and trusted her. (Plus she's a Gaucho, Ole!) During the preparation process for our engagement shoot, Jordan was very responsive and helpful when we were choosing a location and our outfits. She invited us to collaborate on Pinterest for ideas and we chatted easily about different options. When the time came for our sunrise photos, we knew we had chosen the right person. Jordan had a mixed style where she gave us directions that were easy to follow, but when necessary, she would also just shoot us in our natural state and make beautiful photos! We hiked around for 2 hours and it felt like a half hour. We had so much fun! She delivered save the date options within a week and our final engagement photos in less than a month! They were beautifully edited and we will love them forever. In the months leading up to the wedding, Jordan sent thoughtful notes, trinkets, and reminders. We felt cared for and special even though we know she was busy with other projects. She still made us a priority, and that really helped. In the lead up to a wedding, things can get stressful and, at times, it's easy to get lost in it. Jordan's little reminders and gifts helped us pause and feel excited. Something else that decreased our stress was the fact that she was easily available by phone or email for any questions! We worked on the timeline to make it perfect and she was so flexible with our needs. Leading up to the wedding, she had initiative in getting the numbers of our coordinator and videography. On the day of, she was there on time, new the schedule, and never had to rely on us for direction. This, is, amazing! Seriously, you want this kind of person working at your wedding. During the wedding, Jordan was a dream. She was there and working hard but not in our way or taking away from moments. She was organized enough to make sure we got what we wanted, but flexible enough to let moments happen as they do (off schedule!). She worked super well with our videographer who she had never met before and they were a perfect team. She seriously worked her butt off that day and captured everything. She was everywhere!!! It was incredible. The proof is in the photos. She sent us THE PERFECT sneak peek the next day, and then delivered our highlights less than 3 weeks after the wedding. We couldn't believe they were just the highlights. She had captured so many moments and had done so beautifully. We were further impressed when she delivered our full album of wedding photos less than a month after the wedding! Obviously, we really liked having her as our photographer and can't overstate how helpful she is. We give our highest recommendation and hope everyone chooses her. Cheers!

e wedding - it was all so seamless and well-thought out. She even has created super informative guides to advise you through the wedding weekend from the lens of her experience and expertise in the industry. She got our vision right away, was truly inspired off of it and and came up with ideas for shoots and scenes that would make our vision come to life. She truly was the only vendor we felt we didn't have to hold their hand through it. We fully trusted her, her skills, her professionalism and her decision-making. During the day of, she was efficient and displayed great leadership skills with our large groups of family and friends to be pictured, yet still made everyone feel loved and joyful. And guess what? All this and we didn't even meet her in person until the night before our wedding! We are still so blown away by how easy she made it despite being located in a different state at the time. And the photos? Well, they were perfection, delivered on time and so easy to access. Thank you, Jordan, for making our wedding free from any extra stress! It was truly a wonderful gift that we'll always cherish.

all of the other 5 star reviews, she's just as wonderful as they say she is. From the start, Jordan was one of the easiest and most responsive vendors we worked with. She made the photo taking experience completely stress-free and even fun for my husband, who hates having his photo taken. Even he was thrilled with how his photos turned out, even though he normally hates how he looks. In addition, I think her true gift is the candids she is able to produce. Looking at her candids is like reliving each special moment of our wedding day over again. We've been staring at our highlights gallery for days straight now, completely blown away. Each photo is one we know we'll cherish for years to come....and we haven't even received our finals gallery yet! I don't want to drag this review out any longer. Plain and simple -- hire this lady! You won't regret it!

personality alone. We booked her 2 weeks before the elopement/wedding and she easily managed to work with our last-minute-surprisingly-tight schedule. We did a 2hr shoot of the city hall ceremony and returned for an hour shoot for dinner. She was very personable and created a package that suited our needs. We just viewed the pictures and are enamoured with them. The emotions of the day are vibrant in each shot and she encouraged our silliness. She was also very knowledgeable about the venue and knew where & when to get the best lighting! All in all we'd highly recommend Jordan! If not for a professional wedding photographer, but also a wonderful human being :D

not met her. However Jordan exceeded my expectations! She arrived early to set up for the event and was nonstop taking as many photos as she could. She was very accommodating if we requested a specific type of photo for her to shoot as well. Not to mention all the photos came out beautifully! Everyone looked so glam in the pics! I would definitely recommend Jordan. She’s awesome!

. She has impeccable taste, versatility and style to spare, and was frankly a wonderful guest at our wedding! From our first meet and greet (with her dog as well!), to the soul-searching questionnaire, she covered all of the bases with aplomb. No detail was missed, and she made our day so much better. Jordan put the whole day right over the top - we put a lot on her as a single shooter on a big ranch, and she rocked it! She is also kind of a photography ninja - I do not know how she had the time to get all of these amazing pictures, and so many stunning privileged angles. The ceremony photos still make us tear up, and the action shots from the dance floor have already become legendary in our family. It was truly a privilege to work with her, and hopefully she will be available again for the anniversary party!

as so seamless and pleasant, more than I had ever expected. She puts so much attention and detail into everything she does and is super organized - I didn't have to worry about anything. Everything is considered. From the way you make online payments, to how she cares about your needs, takes notes about your preferences, is creative in how she shoots details and frames images, tonality of the imagery, she even helped schedule my day! Not to mention the final online gallery, I noticed her 'highlights' of 100 images managed to incorporate every guest of the wedding, with a nice balance of the different environments and events we had throughout the day/night. The gallery is super organized in how you view the images (arranged in folders), and I was able to automatically download them away in multiple sizes for multiple usages. Oh yes and she had no qualms about driving 2-3 hours to our venue. And is great with communication, gets back to you asap! Planning a wedding in a different state was slightly stressful, but I'm so glad I found Jordan because she was lovely to deal with and a true professional. Kept her cool, and even helped keep me calm when I was stressed! I'm usually a bit uptight in front of the camera, but with Jordan it all felt so comfortable, almost as if she wasn't there! The final images were magical, desaturated in tone yet warm and inviting, very tasteful. We didn't get a videographer, so she was the only means of preserving our memories and I'm so glad she did! All the best in the future, thank you!!
