Howdy, I’m Jeremy
I’m a wide open heart who recognizes beauty and curiosity and significance everywhere in life. I love adventurous times, quiet moments, laughter, sincerity, silliness, intentional actions, and- yup- love. I show up to all my life with the spirit of connection and the awareness that everyone and everything is connected- like the Blanket, from I ♥ Huckabees! This single important matter inspires my approach to photography.
I’ve always been a noticer, a ‘person of detail’ (favorite descriptor from a friend). Even as a little kid I remember adults nervously telling me “… you’re very observant”. I’m quick to recognize patterns- visual and emotional- and I see people prismatically. I think seeing individuals is one of the greatest ways of honoring them.
Photography was the first art form that opened a personal channel for what I had to say about what I noticed in the world. I have an organic interest in people and stories and connections and immediately I found a natural fit and flow in the delightfully layered, diverse, and momentous environments of weddings and families. I love photographing people as they are, and then showing them how exceptional it feels to be them.
My photo education is in photojournalism, so I’m obsessive about tight compositions, intriguing light, and keen moments. Personally I’m all about authenticity, so my photos feel exceptionally REAL. I’m driven to make compelling and meaningful images. I’m also pretty dorky and goofy, so I’m sure that shows up too!
I enjoy tons of interests and hobbies outside of photography, and if you dig any of these too please mention it when you reach out: fooding, rock climbing, simplifying, wood working, biking over driving, cooking, hugs, writing, dancing, restoring or repurposing old things to new usefulnesses, traveling, reading, camping and backpacking, shared experiences, and dessert. Along with my loves Sarah (human partner) and George (most talkative cat in the galaxy), we live in the most diverse neighborhood of the city, with 14 countries represented by 22 immigrant owned businesses- primarily family run restaurants! I could nearly eat my weight in Ethiopian and Indian food!
I hope you’ll introduce yourself. I’m eager to hear from you, to learn about you, and to document what makes your life and connections uniquely and significantly yours. Here’s how you can reach me:
Additionally…
Wedding photography is perhaps the most important decision (except of course for the partner you choose) toward how you will remember your wedding day and how you will share the stories with those you love. Family photography is equally important, and especially if you create children know that the images and memories will be unimaginably valuable to them when they are your age and older. My hope is that sharing some words from my clients below and more of their photographs will help you feel safe and confident that I will take exceptional care in documenting your wedding experience and family connections.
“Wow… I think you broke our hearts… in the best way. We looked at everything last night and just can’t believe how authentically you documented our wedding. You captured every single moment, feeling, and relationship. We are just stunned by the images and are grateful for your talent. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this lasting gift.” – Nicole + Ryan
“I don’t have words. I cannot thank you enough Jeremy. I will cherish every image forever. The picture of my brother and I literally took my breath away. And there are so many incredible perspectives. I am overwhelmed and filled with gratitude. The pictures give me chills. All of them. My crazy world stops for just a minute and I am transported back to that day. I remember how I felt. I remember how completely undone I became that day because you captured the arc perfectly. We are lucky to know you, and consider ourselves blessed to have had you capture our life changing day. The heart you bring to your work is unmatched. You are truly amazing.” – Melissa + Nathan
“Where to begin? We are beyond grateful for the talents, time, emails, pointers and more. You truly captured our love and friendship better than we could have ever hoped.” – Autumn + Chris
“What an incredible surprise. We are absolutely floored, thank you thank you Jeremy! Wow.” – Deval + Amil
“My dad is a person who really doesn’t like to have his picture taken. He had this to say, ‘I detest having my picture taken but have never been more at ease in front of a camera. You were everywhere yet never intruded on the event itself.’” – Charissa + Jess
“My only complaint is that I have too many amazing pictures of my wedding and it’s making the selection process difficult. I cried more tears of happiness seeing the pictures for the first time than I did on the actual day (which was a lot). Every photograph provokes an emotion. I believe this was the smartest money I spent on the wedding.” – Emily + Brad
