Hi, I’m Jeremy. Welcome to my blog where I share photos I take.
I have been taking photos for the love of it since I was in high school, and haven't looked back. Capturing beauty is my joy and passion.
Outside of photography I'm a full time graphic designer at a non-profit called City Kidz. I also like to bike around, write about things, and eat ice cream.
This summer I was able to shoot the wedding of my friends and co-workers, Sarah and Dustin from City Kidz. It was great, and really special – so many faces of people I knew and loved were there. It was great, and I was so happy to be a part of their big day – these guys are in L-O-V-E !
This next pair of photos are some of my favourite photos of the whole day. I just loooove em! I just happened to be walking by as this happened, and it was just beautiful.
I have borrowed a book called Drive from Todd, my boss at City Kidz. It’s about motivation and passion, especially in the realm of creative work, and how the issues of external rewards and punishment actually demotivate people in areas of creativity. So recently I have been thinking a lot about what motivates me, and how I motivate my self. I have been re-aligning my pursuits to fall in line with my passions, and thinking about how to feed into what I already love to do, and use it to get better and produce better work. It’s actually been a great time of growth, realization and productivity. I haven’t slept very well, but I’m excited where my life is going. I was looking for a video to share with you, and remembered a long time ago I was strangely attracted to this video by the guys at Eepybird. If you don’t remember, they are the guys who did the Mentos in Diet Coke fountains. They also did a fun video using sticky notes in some unexpected ways.
I’m excited by this video because it makes me think about how these guys look at the world. They have taken average everyday products and have don’t something different, surprising and wonderful with them. They must look at the world with child like wonderment, seeing that anything is possible. I hope that as I explore what I love, photography, and the other things I’m passionate about that I won’t be afraid to look past the status quo, the established, and see beyond. I hope that my work can start to fall outside of the boundaries and become something truly wonderful, something unexpected. I hope you do too, enjoy the video.
I was going through the weddings from the summer and was reminded I had assisted Claire early in the summer at Brenda and Josh’s wedding, I thought I would share some of the shots I got. What a beautiful couple. There were a number of sweet sequences I got too! Let me know what you guys think by leaving comments here on the blog. (And if you wouldn’t mind, please sign up for my newsletter!)
I love love love Brenda’s facial expressions in this next series, you can tell she’s so excited!
Last night I had the privilege of shooting my first headshot session. As a bonus, it was with the lovely and talented Sarah Chapman in Toronto, Ontario. I had a blast, and took so many pictures I’m having a hard time picking a favourite. These are just a few I pulled out and hastily edited. Can’t wait to edit the whole set! Thanks a bunch Sarah!
