Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m a wandering photographer and a hopeless romantic; love stories are my inspiration, and being out in nature gives me life. After 10 years working in graphic design + product development, I’m finally following my heart to full-time photography, and I’m never looking back. With family in the Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest USA, and friends located around the world, I have an outstanding flexibility (and passion) for travel to any destination of your dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shannon photographed my wedding in November 2020. It was Covid (outdoor backyard wedding) and we had to change a lot of timelines and schedules, but she just rolled with it all. She made us feel at ease in front of the camera, and we had a great time overall with photos. Our photos are beautiful and I still show people her work when recommending her to other couples getting married in the area!

For a very long time, I shot as only a hobbyist. I enjoy beautiful images. I enjoy the creative outlet. I enjoy people and their stories. But, when I finally decided to leap into photography professionally, I discovered passion. Capturing your day is truly my passion! When I'm not shooting, I think about shooting and shots I want to try. You deserve someone as passionate about your story as you are for each other.

I needed headshots for my new business and she was so hands on. She assisted in the location based on my vibe and asked questions to really understand what I was looking for. I was impressed by her attention to detail with my outfit choices even down to jewelry. She has a great eye and I love my final result! She’s also just a sweet human who will ease your mind, it’s like a friend taking your photo:) I would recommend 10/10!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Hellen and Rafael were the best wedding photography and videography duo that we could’ve possibly asked for! They were so accommodating and worked around all sorts of obstacles while still making sure to capture so many beautiful moments from our special day. The fact that they also spoke Portuguese was a huge blessing since my wife’s family is from Brazil. We were over the moon with the photos and videos, literally couldn’t be happier. I would recommend Hellen and Rafael to anyone for any of their photography and videography needs!!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

Your wedding photography should feel as unforgettable as the day itself—filled with emotion, depth, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make it yours. My approach blends editorial artistry with real, heartfelt storytelling—so you get the iconic, cinematic shots and the quiet, unscripted moments in between. With a mix of film and digital photography, I create images that feel nostalgic yet modern, timeless yet full of life. Whether you're celebrating in a historic estate, a backyard under the stars, or halfway across the world, I’m here to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the details that matter most.

Skyler has been nothing short of an absolute dream to work with! She shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a boudoir shoot. She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny! I am so grateful that we were able to not only get such great pictures of one of the biggest days for us, but that we got to meet Skyler and her husband in the process :-) I’m already scheming up reasons to have another photoshoot!!

Jessica truly made us feel comfortable and cared for during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. I titled this review friend-tographer because we genuinely felt like working with Jessica was working with someone we’ve known for ages. And aside from her soft skills, her results speak for themselves. I was astonished by the amount of photos, how quickly we received them, and also how beautiful they were. It was important for us to have candid shots and that is exactly what was delivered. Through the eyes and lens of Jessica, my wedding looks exactly how it felt - like a giant party with everyone we love and I’m so glad someone so talented and capable documented it. Love Jessica SO much!!

I pour my heart into every photo I take, blending a classic style with a unique touch. People inspire the stories I tell, and to truly understand a story, you need to know the people behind it. Each person brings a fresh perspective on love and life. Without the wonderful individuals in front of my lens, my photos lose their meaning and authenticity. I’m here to not just capture your story, but to tell it beautifully. That’s why I love photography.

Jordan G Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From the start, her communication was thorough, quick, and reliable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work really stands out amongst the competition - the photos are beautiful, dramatic, and truly memorable. Jordan G Photography took care of both our engagement and wedding photos, and we are thrilled with the results. She did a fantastic job capturing our special day, working with us at our desired locations and guiding us through the poses to get the perfect shots. We couldn't have asked for a more skilled and attentive photographer, and we would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for wedding photos they can cherish for the rest of their lives.

Hey y'all, I'm so happy you are here! I'm Payton. I'm based in Asheville, NC but will travel to wherever your love takes you. When I'm not on a photoshoot I'm either traveling, hiking, or spending time with my family. I have been a photographer for 10 years and photographing weddings for 5. I have a BFA in Photography from RMCAD. I LOVE getting to know you and helping you plan out every minute detail of your wedding day. My passion is capturing the essence of my couple's love, every story is uniquely you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!
