ABOUT

What makes a Trailblazer?

Backpacks and Bow Ties couples are trailblazers. They crave adventure and to experience something out of the ordinary and unique. They don't settle for the status quo. Trailblazers make their own path in life, and boring isn't in their vocabulary. They've grown tired of people telling them to fall in line and do what has always been done before them. They're searching for something deeper, more meaningful. Are you a trailblazer?

Jeremy Sasser

Lead Photographer, Founder, and Trailblazer

I guess you could consider me a serial traveler. I've spent my life moving from place to place so traveling is more or less in my bones! The world is so big and there's way too many cool places out there to stay in one place just because it's familiar to you. I created this business to find couples who feel the same way that I do and enable them to do something different than what the rest of the world is doing. I believe that everyone is created with unique personalities and their own individuality. So at Backpacks and Bow Ties, our goal is to capture the unique things about you that make you YOU. I've spent months in foreign countries by myself learning the culture and the language. I've spent a year living in a tent, experiencing what it's like to have to start a fire every night to stay warm. Adventure fills my soul, and adrenaline fires me up. So what do you say we do something fun?

"We were nervous and feeling awkward about going into our engagement shoot because it was our first professional photos together, but Jeremy made us comfortable in front of the camera and we had so much fun."
"His ability to keep us comfortable was super appreciated, especially as someone who doesn’t like being photographed."

"Jeremy made us feel SO GREAT. SO HAPPY. SO RELAXED. And he made us laugh a lot, which was such a relief and helped relieve any tension/stress/awkwardness we were feeling."

"The time and care he puts into his work is such a breath of fresh air, and we were absolutely blessed to work with him. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else, and are always thrilled to recommend him to everyone we know."
