Get to know Vancouver Island wedding officiant Jordan Shaw.
Vancouver Island, BC
Being born and raised on Vancouver Island, I know this island pretty well and I’m excited to share it with you on your wedding day! Whether it’s an elopement in Tofino, a decadent to-do in James Bay, or a backyard wedding in Saanich, I am incredibly excited to be a part of your celebration!
Most of all, I want your day to be memorable, unique, and something that you will look back on with fond memories. When my wife and I were married, we created exactly the kind of ceremony we wanted – outdoors, with family involved, officiated by the same person who married my parents, and in one of our favourite places on the planet.
What I experienced with my own wedding is the same thing I have witnessed at many other weddings – those that are truly memorable are ones where the couple has exerted their combined personalities upon the event. I want to encourage you to share the best parts of yourselves throughout the main event of your wedding day.
Stories are powerful – and more to the point, your story is powerful. I’m so excited to work with you to craft a page in your story, as you close one chapter and begin a new one. Let’s work together to create a day that will be talked about for years to come!
Jordan's Story
I first got my start in weddings as a part-time wedding photographer in college, and have watched my mother officiate weddings for over a decade.
As an officiant, I hope that whatever I bring to the table accentuates the unique perspectives and quirks of you as a couple. I want to help you realize the best version of your special day, whatever that looks like to you.
Aside from officiating weddings, I also work with and support Victoria’s street community – including many with substance use disorders and mental health concerns. I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and each story deserves unique recognition.
Whether I’m on a beach with a soon-to-be-married couple or in the back of a shelter with someone going through a crisis, my goal in everything I do is to bring life to the stories that make people unique.
