Amy + Chris Santa Ynez California Wedding

Jeremy — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:40:36 +0000

I don’t get to photograph weddings like this very often. Amy and Chris had nine of their close family gather for a wedding in the wine country of Santa Ynez, California. I enjoyed the experience of such an intimate setting. Amy and I have been friends for a long time and I am so happy for her, Chris and their sons.
I would like to dedicate this to the memory of Amy’s dad, Terry. He was unable to attend the wedding and then passed away last year. He was very much in the thoughts of everyone in attendance. Your daughter was beautiful on her wedding day.

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.

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!
