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.

My friend Josh Rodriguez was along with me that day, and we had a great time photographing this beautiful couple.

I love when wedding blogs feature my work, and seeing one of my images in print in a national publication blows my mind! I’m excited to show off my bouquet image printed in the Summer issue of Get Married Magazine. Check out page 45, a pretty pink and white bouquet from Joslyn and Bill’s wedding (that still needs to be blogged!), designed by Joy over at Stanford Designs. Get Married magazine has lots of great ideas, with fun features and images throughout.

Next up, Destination I Do Magazine featured Cathy and Dan’s wedding at Secrets Maroma Beach in Riviera Maya on their blog. You can check out their feature here Destination I Do’s magazine and blog are full of inspirational ideas for your Destination 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.

Ashley + Paul Daugherty Married

Jeremy — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:38:02 +0000

When I got the call from Ashley asking me to photograph her and Paul’s wedding I was both excited and nervous. I have known Paul since he was in elementary school and I was in middle school. I also graduated in the same class with Ashley’s sister. Not only that, but Paul’s parents, Pastors Billy Joe and Sharon Daugherty had been my pastors at Victory Christian Center for 13 years while I lived in Tulsa. And as a graduate of both Victory Christian School and Victory Bible Institute, their family has meant a lot to me.
The wedding was a particularly beautiful and emotional celebration for many reasons. Thousands of people who have watched Paul and Ashley grow up came to support them as they walked down the aisle together. Two weeks prior to the wedding Pastor Billy Joe was diagnosed with Lymphoma, however he was able to be there and perform the ceremony for his son. A little over a month later on November 22nd, Pastor Billy Joe passed away. It was an honor to know Pastor and to be a part of the final time he would address the congregation of Victory as a proud father marrying his son.
Those that know me, already know that I am a softie but I was fighting back tears of my own as the crowd erupted in applause as first Paul walked down the aisle with his mother Sharon, then stood clapping for Ashley as Paul saw her in her dress for the first time and finally as Pastor took the stage to perform the ceremony.
Ashley and Paul, congratulations and thank you for asking me to be a part of this wonderful day. I’m excited for your future together!

Location: Victory Christian Center
Floral and Event Design: Ceremonial Blessings
Big shoutout to Jared Rey for coming to Tulsa with me and doing a fantastic job with Paul and his guys and helping me tell the story.

After the wedding we wrapped up the day in downtown Tulsa to get some photos of Ashley and Paul together.

Prisca + Colin Married in Virginia

Jeremy — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:36:07 +0000

I was thrilled that Prisca and Colin asked me to photograph their wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. My wife Sarah’s family have been life long friends with Prisca’s family, so it was that much more special for us that we could be there and all celebrate together.
We started out with an intimate first look in Charlottesville, Virginia before the wedding. Prisca and Colin both went to the University of Virginia so we grabbed some photos in front of the Rotunda. It is such a beautiful campus.

The wedding was at their church in Charlottesville, surrounded by friends and family. The ceremony was beautifully backlit by huge windows looking out into the trees.

We ended up the day at Barren Ridge Vineyards for their reception. A gorgeous location, I couldn’t have asked for a better place for photos.

Thriller on the dance floor…With BABIES!!

Congratulations Prisca and Colin!

Rachel & Evan’s Hometown North Dallas Wedding

Jeremy — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:01:33 +0000

Rachel and Evan grew up blocks from the Church of Christ in Richardson and came back home to get married. The church was packed with friends excited to be a part of their wedding. There were big smiles all day. What better job could I ask for? Sharing this moment with the community, photographing happy people in love.

Cathy + Dan Married in Riviera Maya

Jeremy — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:27:27 +0000

Destination weddings are so much fun.
#1. I get to go to the beach
#2. The beach is nice
There are many other reasons involving the beach, water, snorkeling, and all-inclusive, to name a few. The best part is that they are just laid back events with the couple’s closest family and friends in an exotic location.
Cathy and Dan were married at Secrets Maroma Beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico. They had a beautiful wedding and everyone had a great time dancing into the night. Thanks to Cathy and Dan for taking me along with you to Mexico!

We also had the opportunity to run around the Secrets resort for a day after session.

Rachel Bride and the Bluebonnets

Jeremy — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:13:00 +0000

I have lived in Texas for six years now and I have never done a session in a Bluebonnet field. This is like being in the Netherlands and not taking pictures of tulips. Kind of. There are bluebonnets in random places throughout Texas, including the sides of Interstates and everywhere that there are bluebonnets, there are parents taking pictures of their kids. Rachel is a Texas girl, so we took pretty pictures with the bluebonnets. We even found a better field than the side of the highway.

Sarah + Ben Married

Jeremy — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:46:55 +0000

It has been such a priveledge and a blessing to photograph Sarah and Ben’s Engagement and Bridal sessions and now their wedding. Thanks to Justin at Legacy Productions for sending them my way. Is it too old fashioned to say they are a neat couple? They love each other so much and everyone they know loves them. They each have a big heart for people and everyone gravitates toward them.
The wedding was at Chappelle des Fleurs in Flower Mound and it was a great party!

Sarah, Ben and their entire wedding party sported Tom’s Shoes which are not only cooler and more comfortable than regular wedding shoes but for every shoe that is bought they give a pair of shoes to a child in need. Buy lots.

Don’t look directly into Ben’s eyes. Sorry ladies…He’s taken.

What could make them more awesome? They chose to see each other before the wedding so we could take most of the portraits and spend less time after the ceremony. Everyone should do this, and it allows for a more intimate first look, the pictures speak.

Like I mentioned on her bridal session post, Sarah was a Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleader the past two years. There are worse jobs than being in the middle of a cheerleader dance party.

Congratulations to Sarah and Ben, thank you so much for inviting me into your lives.
