Real moments.
Raw documentation.
Capturing the best day of your life for you to relive over and over again truly lights me up.
That feeling, along with sharing a respect and appreciation for our natural world with others, is why I am so passionate about wedding and elopement photography.
I’m inspired by the little details and moments that contribute to the bigger story- the way leaves rustle in the wind, light dancing on the surface of water, the look on someone’s face as they admire someone they love. My photography style has a focus on candid, emotive storytelling and the natural connection between you, your partner, and the landscape around you.
hi, I'm Jordan
"We hired Jordan for our wedding at the Black Diamond Lodge in Durango this past October, and she was incredible. From the early planning stages to the final delivery of our gallery, she was a total professional and a joy to work with. The vibes: immaculate. She goes far beyond the typical wedding photographer checklist; she kept everything feeling flexible and relaxed, which made for more genuine moments rather than just stiff poses.
We decided to add on a couple of rolls of 35mm film, and I’m so glad we did. Those photos have such a warm, nostalgic feel that you just can't fake. The sneak peeks she sent right after the wedding were stunning, and the final gallery website is beautifully designed- it’s been so easy to order prints directly from it. If you are looking for someone with a true artistic eye who can capture the real feeling of your day, Jordan is your person."

"I truly cannot say enough good things about Jordan! From our very first conversation, she was incredibly responsive and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond by helping us plan details for our mountain elopement, which meant the world to us as we navigated putting together our special day.
On the day of our wedding, she was absolutely wonderful to be around. She made us and our families feel so comfortable that we genuinely enjoyed spending time with her, so much so that our families invited her to join us after the ceremony! It felt less like having a photographer there and more like having a friend capture our day.

She helped give us guidance for our shots and made sure to capture every special moment with authenticity and artistry. And the photos? Absolutely beautiful. She captured exactly what we envisioned and gave us images we'll treasure forever. Jordan played such a huge role in making our day one we will remember forever.
If you're looking for a talented, nay, THE BEST photographer who is professional, personable, and truly passionate about her work, look no further! Jordan will go above and beyond for you and deliver on whatever your vision is. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work together!"

"Jordan is an absolute rockstar photographer! She was so easy to work with and blended seamlessly into our wedding. She gave us great cues and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She brought a calming presence to our wedding day, which was much needed after our originally planned ceremony was stormed out. The weather didn’t deter Jordan and she took the best photos of our guests and ceremony site as rain and hail descended.
Jordan was so thoughtful in her photography from the beginning and the photos she delivered were better than we could have hoped for. She captured so many beautiful moments and memories. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a genuine, kind, talented, and thoughtful photographer!"

"Jordan is an absolute gem! We hired Ponderosa Portraits (Jordan) for our elopement in Telluride and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Not only did she capture the day perfectly, she also made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera (something we typically cannot say).
My husband and I did not have anything specific we wanted photos of, so we asked Jordan to take artistic liberties and just do her thing, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome- all of the photos are absolutely STUNNING and we cannot stop looking at them!
Jordan was so easy to work with leading up to and throughout our elopement- she was very professional, accommodating, and all around enjoyable to work with. I would 100% recommend Ponderosa Portraits to anyone looking to capture their big day or engagement."

"We absolutely adored having Jordan of Ponderosa Portraits capture our wedding. My wife and I reside in Florida and were planning our wedding far off in Telluride, Colorado. As you can imagine, it's a little tricky planning an event of such importance so far away with hardly any access (besides online communications) to the location. We couldn't find a good match for a photographer in the Telluride area, so we widened our circle and we are so thankful we did. We fell in love with Jordan's work on her website and were able to set up a video call pretty quickly. We were confident after the call that Jordan was the photographer for us. We loved how seamless she made it and how great her communications were throughout the process.

On our wedding day we actually met Jordan in person for the first time, and she immediately got to work. She was capturing moments we weren't even realizing, and all while making everyone there still feel comfortable. Our bridal party loved her, our wedding guests loved her, and we were overjoyed that we had her as our photographer. The Monday after our Friday wedding Jordan sent us our sneak peeks. The sneak peeks alone were incredible and we got so many! A few weeks later we got the entire album and Jordan had way overdelivered. Both the quantity and the quality of the photos is exceptional. We cannot recommend Ponderosa Portraits enough."
