Behind The Lens
EMP Media Services is all about creating a time capsule for one of the biggest days in your whole life! Capturing all the moments, even the ones in between is what I strive for with every client. From grand ball weddings to backyard get togethers, I want to make sure you have a fantastic time and I’m capturing every minute of it.
“I’m Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite photographer / videographer on the Citadel”
– Commander Shepard (probably)
Hi! My name is Jeremy Hannaford.
To be quick to the point, I love history, I love Scotland and I’ve watched Lord of the Rings more times than I can count.
I’m an introvert with extroverted tendencies. I enjoy the laughs, the tears, and the cheers as much as I enjoy the soft, quiet and tender moments.
I always want to ensure that my couples are comfortable in front of the camera. I want them to enjoy their days in all their splendor, while giving them some good gestures for giggles!
I always aim to be professional and cordial, but if you have any geeky fascinations or interests, I am all for it!
I love it when couples are truly themselves and bring out aspects of their characters and the relationships that some might find dorky or weird. Your wedding day is about you, not what others think or feel! It’s your day, go wild!
On these days, candid moments are my favorite thing to capture! The raw natural moments that exist for a moment are what I aim for with all of my couples. Giving my clients the chance to relive these once in a lifetime moments is one of the best things in the world!
I can’t express how grateful I am to have this as a career. What started as photo-journalism for a small local newspaper in 100 Mile House, has blossomed into a journey across the country and even continents! I’ve had the extreme honour of working with so many amazing couples over 10+ years and I can’t wait for the next adventure!
Not afraid to have fun
Being comfortable in front of the camera is my #1 goal with all my clients. To get fantastic shots, I want you to enjoy the experience!
Cracking jokes, miming Austin Powers photo shoots or just being plain silly… I would like to submit Avocado Floaty as Exhibit A. I want to give you something you’ll cherish forever, and have a great time while making it.
