"My favorite photographer. I would recommend Orange County Photographer, Mark Jordan to anyone looking for an absolutely beautiful portrait of their family. Mark is not only unbelievably talented in his creativity he also is a master of the technical skills needed to create a masterpiece image. You won't find better customer service or higher quality work from any other photographer."
The Peterman Family - Mission Viejo

"Priceless. I have known Orange County Photographer, Mark Jordan for 30 years now. He has captured some of the most important times in my life and turned them into priceless memories. Mark has such a gift of creativity and passion that flows through everything he touches. His gentle ways and compassionate heart make you feel right at home in his studio. I would not recommend him to just anyone, as I think so highly of him and his work... I would recommend him to those individuals that care about creativity, quality, artistry and perfection."
Erica Walker - Irvine

"Mark Jordan's portraits are breathtaking and timeless. I have known Mark for 20 years. He is a master of lighting, portraits, and freezing moments in a magical and timeless manner. In fact, we have worked together on photo-shoots capturing images of children, animals (both VERY HARD to do), still life, cars, teenagers (harder than kids or pups!), landscapes... Mark is a perfectionist with his craft, yet is a humble gentleman and treats everyone with class and patience. Perhaps this is the reason why his images are breathtakingly fabulous. His talent is a blessing... he is a visual master who has the talent to capture moments where most other photographers miss. This is a skill which cannot be taught. He just is an amazing artist."

"Hi Mark - Just a note to let you know how much we are enjoying the lovely senior portraits you created for us. They are so beautiful hanging on the walls. The people who have seen them have been extremely complimentary of your portraits. Thank you so much for all you did for us and we look forward to our next photo session with you. Thank you again!"
"p.s. Kara absolutely loves her senior portraits!!"
The Kapnas Family - Irvine

"Mark Jordan is an amazing professional photographer. He captured our family beautifully in two amazing portraits at Laguna Beach while the sun was setting; and notably, he did this with our 2 young girls (3 & 5) who were more interested in playing than taking pictures. Any photographer will tell you it's "really" difficult to do a sunset shoot because of the small window of time to shoot. Add kids to the mix and it's usually spells disaster. Mark (and his wife, Kari) were both very kind and patient, yet completely in control through the entire process. We were completely in love with our raw photos when we reviewed them initially, then Mark finished each portrait with some very tasteful photo-editing that transformed our family portraits into pure art. They're now the centerpieces to our home and our friends and family all love them. I've recommended him to others and will use him again when our girls are a bit older. Thank you Mark for lasting memories! "
The Lee Family - Irvine

"Mark Jordan did a masterful job of helping me with new headshots for the release of my solo CD "The Secret of Movin On." Mark Jordan is truly is an artist in every sense of the word, a magnificent photographer with a heart of gold! I am greatly indebted to him for his generosity and talents. We are also brothers of Saddleback Church here in Orange County. Thank you Mark!"
David Pack - Musician-Singer-Songwriter-Producer - Ladera Ranch

"Mark Jordan is by far one of the best professional photographers around! He is a true artist, has an eye for capturing reality in it's most authentic and honest moments. His photography shows the beauty of life and nature. I would highly recommend him as a true Master Craftsman!"
The Nachtrieb Family - Mission Viejo

"I was hesitant in spending money on hiring a professional photographer. After all, I now had a 8 megapixel camera to take my own quality shots. After taking a few snapshots of myself I decided to see what a professional would cost to possibly take a better picture. The difference between the snapshots I took and the ones Mark Jordan took were night and day. The fee for his service was reasonable and well worth the expertise Mark had in making me look as professional as possible. If you're looking for a knowledgeable professional photographer who makes you look good, Mark Jordan Photography is the place."

"Can't go wrong with Mark Jordan's work!"
The Reed Family - Coto de Caza

"Our first family portrait with Mark Jordan was a creative rendition of our original family - but I presented him with a daunting challenge: I desired to have a traditional studio portrait in formal attire, but the boys wanted a casual portrait session at the beach. It was Mark who did not flinch and suggested we could have both! Today, our beautiful piece of art portrays us on the beach with me sitting comfortably at a linen draped table, dressed in a flowing gown, holding a flute of champagne, while my “beach boys” are standing next to me at the water’s edge, alongside their surfboards, clad in wetsuits! Everyone has commented that our family portrait is the most unusual beach portrait they have ever seen - we have loved it for years!

Several years later came our wonderful daughter, who was conspicuously left out of our first family portrait. It was time to again rely on Mark. However, I was unaware that he had moved to Rancho Santa Margarita - I literally had to hunt him down. I am here to tell you, Mark was worth the hunt!

We decided once again on a beach portrait, but this time with a harmonious, casual theme. Still, I still presented Mark with another challenge: the window of opportunity where the whole family was together was extremely tight. Yet Mark pulled everything off with patience and good cheer! Our new family portrait is stunning, replete with crashing waves, seagulls flying by, and all awash in the gorgeous setting sunlight! Thank you Mark for a lifetime of memories and blessings!"
The Waidley Family - Irvine

"Mark Jordan made us feel special. Our kids loved him and even my husband commented that it was the most "painless" portrait he had ever taken. His portrait photography is so beautiful that I asked him if we could see his photographs along with all the paintings - what I didn't know is that these WERE his photographs! They are that stunning. Though I spent more than I had planned, his prices were fair and we got way more than we expected. Also, he does framing at cost which saved us big time. His wife, Kari, is also a great help and made even our 13 year old son enjoy the portrait session. Mark has many awards, is in the Photographers Hall of Fame, and yet he is humble and caring. We have found our new family photographer."

Lia Segerblom - Owner, Lia Portrait Design - Dana Point

"Mark is the only one we trusted with photographing all seven seven siblings at the same time for the first and only time in our family history. He picked the setting and coached us on wardrobe and put everybody at ease with his calm and confident style. The bottom line is we all looked good. If you were to meet us you would realize what an incredible feat that is. I am past president of Professional Photographer of California and have had the opportunities to work with many Photographic Masters but Mark was our first choice and he should be yours too."

The Goolsby Family - Riverside

"Mark Jordan is not only a talented professional photographer, his skills in Photoshop helped all of us look our best but still recognizably "us" instead of a model version of us. His technique and easygoing style made our family park portrait very relaxed and enjoyable--he even captured a wonderfully natural smile from our 3 month old baby and 7 year old son who is notorious for forced looking grins! Would recommend him highly."

He tries to meet the vision of the clients while at the same time providing good suggestions that works best with the subject. Not only is Mark good what he does, but he makes you feel at ease during the process. When making a big decision like selecting someone to take your family portrait that will be with the family for years, you are best to trust the person who has your best interest at heart."
