Maggie + Bryan Firewheel Wedding

Jeremy — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:06:14 +0000

I have had such a great time with Maggie and Bryan, photographing their engagement, bridal and now their wedding at Firewheel Golf Park. Make sure to keep an eye out for Maggie’s gorgeous bridal session which should be featured soon. Maggie and Bryan had a lovely dusk wedding on Friday and they couldn’t have had better weather for an outdoor wedding and reception. They had fall colors for the flowers, details, centerpieces and goldfish! It was a fun party with their family and friends and exciting to see longtime loves tie the knot. Congrats guys!

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!

It’s best to not ask questions about this first picture, just go with it.

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.

Travel Arrangements: Destination Weddings
The Dress: Aire Barcelona
The Shoes: Jimmy Choo
Venue: El Dorado Seaside Suites

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!

Reema and Ricky Plano Wedding

Jeremy — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 20:23:45 +0000

What do fireworks, a horse, ice sculptures, Hummer limos, delicious food, henna tattoos, 10 pounds of jewelry, and a dance party have in common? They all made an appearance at Reema and Ricky’s fun, colorful and beautiful traditional Indian wedding! Ricky is a small business owner himself, so we had an immediate connection and Reema is so sweet. They make one good looking couple. I knew this wedding would be a great experience and it did not disappoint. It was also fun to have my friend and inspiring photographer Kyle Barnes along for the day shooting with me. I am excited to share this wedding with you.
Prashe Decor went above and beyond for the decor and design as they always do.
It was my second time shooting at the venue Marriott at Legacy Town Center and they know how to put on a party.
Fancy Cakes by Lauren provided the fancy cake
Congrats to Reema and Ricky!

The gorgeous bride

Love this series that Kyle photographed of Ricky riding in on the horse

Fireworks to announce the couple…what!?
