Meet Your Wedding & Elopement Photographer

Welcome to my little home on the internet! I'm Jeremy Sasser, and I'm stoked that you've found your way here. No really, I'm genuinely stoked! I'm going to be your wedding photographer. I live in Asheville, North Carolina but I'm basically a travel expert at this point.

Anywhere You Go...

That's my motto. I've found that the couples that vibe the best with me are the ones that follow their gut and create their own path forward. I call them, the Trailblazers. Their weddings may look a little different than what everyone else does, because their relationship looks different than others. These are the people that fill my soul.

I'm Down

From bungee jumping to offroading, from South Korea to New Zealand, travel and adventure runs through my veins. Adrenaline junkie, that's me. Military child, so traveling started in the womb. What does that mean for you, though? It means that I'm your guy for travel experience, coordination, recommendations, navigation, and a one-stop shop for adventure. Whatever your plan is, it helps to have someone that can get down with the good times.

How it works

Dream Wildly

Imagine what your wedding or elopement would look like if there were no rules. What would the perfect day with your partner look and feel like? Would you spend the day together doing something that you both love? Would you spend it exploring a new place? What about doing something that gives you both a rush of adrenaline?

Plan Accordingly

After we've gotten to know each other and I've gotten an idea of what your vision is for your wedding or elopement, I'll help make that vision a reality! I'm not just a photographer. I help you to plan out the logistics of your elopement. That's including location scouting, timeline preparation, vendor recommendations, and helping you fill the day with meaningful activities!

Marry Freely

You get to enjoy your unique wedding or elopement experience and feel what it's like to be completely free from all expectations! It will be an experience free from the stress of traditional weddings. You two will be able to focus solely on going on the adventure of your lives!

Reviews and Testimonials

"These photographs were absolutely stunning and it was all because Jeremy got us to be our genuine selves and used his surroundings to his advantage in every scenario. We consistently get asked how we got Getty Images to cover our wedding and we beam every time knowing we got Jeremy as our wedding photographer before he made it to the big-time."

- Zach and Savannah

"I was so surprised at how easy everything felt. On the day of our wedding, I was feeling so stressed and overwhelmed; the last thing I wanted was my picture taken. But once we got started, all of that anxiety about how I looked and the venue looked and etc,  just melted away because Jeremy was there which meant it would all be fine. He would take care of it.... With Jeremy as our wedding photographer I felt like our pictures were of us and not just the best, most dressed-up versions of ourselves."

- Andrea and Justin

"Jeremy is the nicest guy. His laid back attitude was exactly what I wanted to incorporate into these photos and boy did he deliver as our photographer. It was so easy to be ourselves, relaxed and having fun and there was absolutely no pressure. Jeremy knew exactly the right angles and back drops and totally got into my mind to bring my vision to life!"
