Portrait of Jordan Kelm with a forest double exposure

The person behind the photographs

Hello,
I’m Jordan.

An award-winning wedding and portrait photographer serving Richland, Kennewick and Pasco in the Tri-Cities, Washington. My work has taken me across the Pacific Northwest and far beyond, from Hawaii to Mexico and Spain.

A little about me

In their words

Love notes.

A few favorite words from the people in front of my lens.

Comfortable and seen

“Jordan instantly made them feel so comfortable and seen. There was no pressure and she was just hanging out with them like the fun loving boys they are. Our family had the best night capturing all the memories of our normal day to day summer nights.”

A photographer worth traveling for!

“Fast forward to this year, 2026 & we travelled an hour and a half (3 hours round trip) to get family photos (now as a family of 4!!!!) … She is so kind & patient with kids too. I really can’t recommend Jordan enough.”
Read the full review

Travel back in time with me to 2017 when my fiancé and I needed engagement photos. We had never had professional photos taken & were young, nervous & had no idea who to go to. I went on a website called Thumbtack & found a photographer named Jordan. I didn’t know much but the company had good reviews & we’re in our budget so we booked! The funniest part is I originally thought she was a male because I had never met a girl named Jordan.

On the day of the shoot, we got out of the car & were greeted by a vibrant, friendly, fun girl with pink lipstick!!! I’ll never forget it because I loved her immediately. The shoot was freezing but she made it so easy, walked us through exactly how to pose & it was so great. Our photos were incredible. You’d never know it was windy & cold or our first time getting pictures. Jordan was booked for our wedding date or else we would’ve hired her for that too!

Then, in 2022 when we were pregnant with our first baby, it was a no brainer to reach out to Jordan for our maternity photos. Again, she absolutely blew us away with the quality, the amount of photos she delivered & the multiple locations/ outfit changes.

Fast forward to this year, 2026 & we travelled an hour and a half (3 hours round trip) to get family photos (now as a family of 4!!!!) She went above and beyond with the time she spent on our family & got photos to us within less than 48 hours!!!!

And as if what I’ve already mentioned wasn’t enough to convey what an absolute gem Jordan is, I want to add what a comfortable, fun & kind presence she adds during your session. She is so kind & patient with kids too. I really can’t recommend Jordan enough.

Best Photographer EVER

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Jordan! From the moment we first connected, she made us feel like we were more than just another couple on her calendar. Throughout the entire process, we felt genuinely important, cared for, and celebrated.

Read the full review

On our wedding day, she brought such a calm, positive presence that immediately put us at ease. She guided us every step of the way with confidence and kindness, helping us know exactly what to do while still allowing every moment to feel natural and authentic. We never felt awkward or rushed—instead, we felt supported, relaxed, and completely present with each other.

What stood out most was how loved and valued she made us feel. She took the time to get to know us, understand what was important to us, and ensure our day was captured in a way that reflected who we are. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine passion for her work were evident in every interaction.

When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. She captured not only the big moments but also the emotions, the connections, and the little details that made our day so special. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the best day of our lives all over again.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will make you feel cared for, guide you with expertise, and deliver breathtaking memories you’ll treasure forever, look no further. We will be forever grateful for the beautiful gift Jordan gave us.

Capturing priceless moments spent at home 🤍

“Oh Jordan!!! We can’t say enough good things about our family session with her! She was so fun, personable, and made our entire family feel comfortable throughout the session. Jordan captured the chaos, the laughter, and most importantly, the love that makes our family ours. These are memories we will cherish forever, and we are so thankful she was the one who got to capture these moments for us! Thank you so much, Jordan, for being so easy going & giving us photos we will treasure forever! We would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. ❣️”

Comfort in front of the camera

“I honestly have never felt so comfortable with a photographer in my life! Jordan was so professional and kind.”
Read the full review

I honestly have never felt so comfortable with a photographer in my life! Jordan was so professional and kind. The questionnaires she provided before each session, not only helped her but helped us get the feel for what was to come, which I loved.

Also!....My husband is a very shy person and not once did she seemed bothered by this. Jordan was kind, respectful, and made us feel like we could trust her. She immediately noticed my husbands vibes and patiently guided us to comfort.

I honestly believe she’s worth every cent and then some! The experience, personality and art is definitely worth it!

A day that feels effortless

“Jordan helped our entire wedding day run smoothly and feel genuinely stress-free for us. I can honestly say that we wouldn't have had such a perfect celebration if it weren't for her help and support.”

Jordan is a talented photographer and wonderful human - HIRE HER!!

It was really important for us to hire vendors for our wedding that felt like friends - professionals we could trust, while also reflecting the welcoming, fun, and loving energy we wanted to convey. Jordan is all that and more! She is VERY organized. Her attention to detail and planning timeline helped us prepare all of our wedding events and day-of calendar. She is super responsive and always happy to answer our questions.

2022 was an absurdly busy wedding season, and Jordan still managed to make time for us whenever we needed or were stressing about anything. Her energy is awesome, and we left every conversation feeling more excited about the wedding day.

Jordan helped our entire wedding day run smoothly and feel genuinely stress-free for us. I can honestly say that we wouldn't have had such a perfect celebration if it weren't for her help and support. She was calm, organized, efficient, energetic, and professional throughout the event. And on top of ALL of that, the pictures are AMAZING.

My wife and I are pretty awkward when it comes to photos, and Jordan was awesome about giving us direction and making the whole process a lot of fun.

We feel very fortunate that we got to work with Jordan, who we know absolutely consider our friend. She's the best!

Photographs to keep forever

Book with Jordan ASAP.

As I was searching for a wedding photographer I came across Jordan Kelm and instantly fell in love with her work. After reaching out to her, she FaceTimed with us for an initial meet and greet which probably should’ve been a quick 30 min, but lasted almost 2 hours. That’s how above and beyond Jordan will go for you. She answered all my millions of questions and by the end of the meeting, I was 100% assured that she was the right pick for my wedding!

The day of my wedding, Jordan and her team made me feel so comfortable... like you’re working with family! Jordan’s warm personality puts you at ease and she’s there right alongside you to help keep your day moving smoothly.

Shortly after our wedding, we got a sneak peek of some photos and we couldn’t be happier! Jordan captured our special day with stunning, timeless photos that we will cherish forever. Trust me...you won’t be disappointed!

Jordan went above and beyond every step of the way. She made sure that our engagement photos and wedding photos were everything we had hoped for and more.

Jordan was on time to every step on the wedding day. She was calm and flexible making sure both Kyle and I were having a stress free day while also making sure she could capture the big ticket items from our shot list.

The photos she got of our day BLEW US AWAY. I couldn’t believe that was really us. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice in photographer! 10/10 Jordan Kelm Photography!

Your real moments

Jordan is not only the most phenomenal photographer she is also the missing piece to your wedding guest list! She made the entire photographing process so much fun and captured our real moments. She does amazing work with lighting, coloring, and finds all the best spots for photos. She was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding ❤️

A little encouragement

“Jordan was both a mentor and our own personal hype girl through our entire engagement shoot! The happiness and love that she was able to capture so effortlessly was exactly what we were looking for!”
Read the full review

Literally cannot recommend Jordan enough! We had so much fun shooting with her and it reflects in every picture she took. When we were searching for a photographer we wanted someone who could help us feel comfortable in front of the camera since we despise talking pictures of ourselves.

Jordan was both a mentor and our own personal hype girl through our entire engagement shoot! The happiness and love that she was able to capture so effortlessly was exactly what we were looking for!

Not to mention she had thought and prepared for everything.. Even took off her own coat for me to wear in between pictures and let me borrow a pair of boots so I didn’t get my heels dirty.

10/10 would recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer. Not only do you get amazing photos but you get to know such a kind hearted human in the process!

Planning from afar

“I planned my wedding while I was 1800 miles from her and the location and she made every part of my day come to life that we had talked about over emails and texts.”
Read the full review

If you’re looking for a photographer that will do it all, this is your girl. Don’t look any further, you’re in the best hands with her! I look back at my wedding and I see Jordan helping me in every part of my special day! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and person to be right with me through the entire day.

I planned my wedding while I was 1800 miles from her and the location and she made every part of my day come to life that we had talked about over emails and texts.

I can’t ever thank her enough for capturing all the small and big parts that we will now get to one day show our kids, and have for the rest of time. Thank you Jordan, you’re absolutely amazing and made our day so special ❤️

Space to be yourselves

“They made us feel so relaxed that he and I were able to be our complete and honest selves. We did not pose even once but they both were able to capture beautiful portraits and intimate moments that he and I will cherish forever.”
Read the full review

For the past 9 months, there has not been day that has gone by without me thinking about how amazing my elopement was. And honestly, it was because of Jordan and Evan! My husband and I eloped, just us two (our officiant, photographer, and videographer), on March 16th, 2021, and Jordan and Evan made us feel as if we were amongst our best of friends.

They were so down to earth, willing to help in any way they could, and made us feel so comfortable that we did not even realize there was a camera pointed at us.

We asked for candid photos because my husband and I are not photogenic whatsoever, but the photos Jordan and Evan got were literally the most perfect shots!

They made us feel so relaxed that he and I were able to be our complete and honest selves. We did not pose even once but they both were able to capture beautiful portraits and intimate moments that he and I will cherish forever.

Not only is their talent exceptional but their genuineness for making your day as special as it can be, is extraordinary! I am beyond grateful to them for making our elopement more beautiful than I ever expected!!

Worth the adventure

“My husband and I had so much fun shooting with Jordan in Oahu, Hawaii and the photos turned out INCREDIBLE!!”
Read the full review

My husband and I had so much fun shooting with Jordan in Oahu, Hawaii and the photos turned out INCREDIBLE!!

We wanted some romantic waterfall pics while we were there so we picked Waimano Falls Trail. We hiked a total of 6 miles to get the shot we wanted and those pictures were SOOO worth the sweat getting there!

Jordan killed it packing in and out of there with all her gear and she was able to take pictures during the hike so we could have multiple different backgrounds.

She made sure my hair smooth and my outfit was perfectly adjusted and it was those little things that made all the difference in our pictures!

Jordan was absolutely amazing and I’m so thankful she was the one to capture our special day. She has a very kind and genuine energy about her and was so easy to work with. She made the entire wedding party and family feel relaxed, comfortable, and beautiful.

She is very organized and was awesome about communicating with me when I was trying to figure out my day of timeline. She was always moving, looking for different ways to capture each moment perfectly, and really took our ideas/wants into consideration to make them come to life.

I would 100% recommend Jordan and hope to use her for special events in the future!

Someone on your team

“It felt like she was as invested in me and my day as anyone else and cared about my family and my friends like they were hers also. It felt like we were a team.”
Read the full review

I hired Jordan on the spot to do my wedding after only meeting two other photographers before her. She explained her process and her take on how she goes about the wedding day, but what was different for me was feeling like she was a friend just there to help me plan, and like what was important to me is what was important to her.

It felt like she was as invested in me and my day as anyone else and cared about my family and my friends like they were hers also. It felt like we were a team.

It felt like she was one of my oldest friends and I’m fairly certain I’ve ugly cried in her presence more than anyone else and cried again when I got my wedding gallery.
