Jordan Baker – Documentary Style Virginia Wedding Photographer
Jordan Baker is a documentary style wedding photographer based in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. With his wife, Aneila as his second shooter, he specializes in intimate weddings and elopements with a largely “hands-off”, relaxed approach to shooting, and a tasteful, film-inspired, approach to editing, “true to life, slightly enhanced” as he calls it. Jordan and Aneila are available nationw——PLEASE I can’t do it anymore. Writing in third person……it’s so…corporate….and I’m a rogue self employed artist!
I’m Jordan Baker, and it’s me who wrote this. Seriously, I’m at the keyboard right now, typing this sentence. Hunched over the macbook at 2am, thinking of what else to say. Why are you still reading this?
Quality Wedding Photos – without taking away from the true purpose of the day
Let me be honest: I believe photography has jumped the shark. It has hijacked our existence. The things we do, the places we go, the food we eat: it often feels like it’s mostly about getting the perfect photo for likes on an app. The actual enjoyment of the present moment takes a back seat (and sometimes doesn’t get a seat at all). Somehow, I don’t think the dude abides in that.
The true purpose of a wedding day —> marriage, celebration, fellowship, joy, laughs, hugs, finger foods, mishaps, spilled drinks, not watching clocks, weird dancing, smirking at a second cousin across the room because they devoured a cupcake and got icing on their left eyebrow….OK, but that’s too many words. The wedding day is an experience. My mission is to provide the photography without intruding on that experience, documenting things in a way that doesn’t make your day all about the photos…
…rather, the photos are to be all about the day.
“The Best Choice We Made”
“…The day of, Jordan and Aneila quietly entered our space and started shooting. Nothing felt posed or awkward – we truly felt like we were alone with our families. At no point did they add to the stress of the day, and at times I even found them to be a calming presence. After the wedding, my husband and I were pretty awkward because we’ve never done a photo shoot together, but Jordan really brought out the best in us. There is not one photo that I don’t adore….”

“…If you book these two, be ready to have a record of your most meaningful moments. I felt like they were in love with the art and the experience much more than just a “job.” Thanks Jordan and Aneila!” ~ Katherine and Mike, Intimate Wedding at Awbury Arboretum, 2016
