Erica + Charles Wedding at the Factory

Jeremy — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 13:30:07 +0000

I have known Erica and her sister Jessica ever since Erica was in middle school and we have always been great friends! So it was exciting and such an honor when I got a message on Facebook asking if I was available to shoot Charles and Erica’s wedding at the Factory in Franklin, Tennessee. It was a gorgeous wedding with a Fall theme and tons of DIY details including ostrich and peacock feathers. It’s so much fun to be a part of weddings and when it is a long time friend, that makes it even better. I’m so happy for Erica and Charles and thankful that I was there to capture the good times at their wedding!

Vanessa + Brenan Wichita Kansas Wedding

Jeremy — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 07:07:54 +0000

Vanessa + Brenan were married last weekend in Wichita Kansas at Botanica, the Wichita Gardens. It was great to see Vanessa and Brenan again and join them for their beautiful outdoor wedding. It was also cool to see Ricky and Reema there! It is an honor when friends of past wedding clients choose me to photograph their wedding and I have the opportunity to document an expanding circle of friends. I enjoyed every bit of the weekend, even if it was HOT! Vanessa and Brenan are totally in love and such a nice couple. It is great to see them together and to see how much they both care for Brenan’s daughter Calyn. Photography was a valued priority to them and they completely let me into their world as I photographed the wedding, celebrated with them at their reception and then a Day After session in Old Town Wichita.

Vanessa + Brenan Oklahoma City Engagement

Jeremy — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 23:18:16 +0000

Vanessa was a bridesmaid for Reema’s wedding last year. She was a lot of fun at the wedding, so I was excited when she contacted me to shoot her wedding in Wichita, Kansas this July. Vanessa and Brenan met me in the middle in Oklahoma City’s Bricktown for their engagement session. I hadn’t shot in Bricktown before, so it was fun to walk around and get to know them as a couple while finding new and cool places to shoot. I’m definitely looking forward to their wedding and day after session this Summer!

Alice + Matt Riviera Maya Destination Wedding

Jeremy — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:09:24 +0000

Alice and Matt’s Riviera Maya, Mexico wedding was originally planned to take place on the beach at the beautiful Iberostar Paraiso Lindo, however it rained the entire time we were there. Despite the rain Alice and Matt were an absolute joy to photograph. A smile never left their faces, and they were thrilled to be marrying each other. As plans changed Alice and Matt, along with their friends and family were a true inspiration of love overcoming everything and having a great time with each other despite whatever circumstances came. The ceremony was moved to a traditional Mexican chapel, and the reception was changed to a hilariously amazing Star Wars themed night club! The day after the wedding as it continued to rain we went out armed with umbrellas determined to get some pool and beach photos, and the Day After session turned into more of a fun Trash the Dress session.

I am pleased to say that this wedding was also featured by Travel to I Do. Travel to I Do is a great resource for couples planning a destination wedding. They feature real destination weddings, inspiration, tips, and contests. I highly recommend that you check it out!

Jina and Mark Riviera Maya Wedding

Jeremy — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 02:34:53 +0000

I am always excited when wedding publications choose to feature my clients’ wedding story along with my photos. I am pleased to say that Destination I Do magazine’s blog featured Jina and Mark’s wedding last week! Make sure that you go and check out the feature.
Jina’s sister Mina had me photograph her wedding in Cancun last year. Jina spoke to me briefly while we were in Cancun saying that she was also planning a destination wedding. Short story, shorter: here are the photos from their beautiful wedding at El Dorado Seaside Suites in Riviera Maya, Mexico! It was such a pleasure to join Mark and Jina along with their closest family and friends on the beach in Mexico to witness their wedding. Jina was radiant in a dress by Aire Barcelona and Mark was dapper in his Prada suit. I can’t recommend enough for future grooms to invest in a tailored suit instead of renting a tux! It rained a bit on the wedding day, but cleared up for the ceremony. We also had gorgeous weather to shoot some day after photos around the beach and the resort.

Love the look on their faces as they see each other for the first time!

Sisters make for a great destination wedding party.

A sweet dance with the father of the bride. Jina and Mark met at a Salsa dance club in Chicago, so it is only fitting that they tore it up performing an Argentine Tango as well as a little Salsa!

Mina and Karmen Cancun Wedding

Jeremy — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 22:26:28 +0000

Mina and Karmen hail from the Boston area and took a break from the cold Massachusetts winter getting married at Dreams Cancun in Mexico. I was excited to join them, returning to Dreams and what is quickly becoming my second home down in Riviera Maya! The wedding day was perfect, their family and friends were so much fun to be around and Mina and Karmen are beautiful together. I must make mention of one the best dance parties ever, with balloons! We also planned a Day After session to get some relaxed images around the resort. Yeah, I think it’s about time to go back!

Sunita and Nate Married in Cancun

Jeremy — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:17:48 +0000

Sunita and Nate were a dream to work with for their destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico. They are from Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. They booked me for their wedding at Dreams Cancun almost a year ahead of time and the hardest part was waiting for their wedding to finally get here. After the intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends they planned nearly an hour and half for photos so we could take full advantage of our surroundings! I am so happy that I had the chance to join Sunita and Nate along with their friends in Cancun for this wedding.

Catherine + Elliot Married Playa Del Carmen

Jeremy — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:56:15 +0000

Four years ago Emily and Barrett were married and I was there to photograph their Dallas wedding. In November Emily’s sister Catherine was getting married to Elliot in Playa Del Carmen and asked me to travel with them to photograph their beach wedding. It is such an honor for a family to consider me their “family photographer”. My wife Sarah and I were happy to go spend the week in Playa del Carmen with Catherine and Elliot and their family and friends. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ida was making her way through the Yucatan channel on the day of the wedding so we had to move the wedding off of the beach. But everyone was in great spirits and having such a good time it was no problem. They had a beautiful wedding and reception at The Royal Playa del Carmen. The day after the wedding the sun came out and we got a chance to take some photos on the beach. Thanks Catherine and Elliot for having Sarah and me along for the ride and including us as part of your family.
