When Jeremy and Emma approached me about including a Story Art piece as part of their wedding day coverage I was initially hesitant. My composites often takes hours of pre planning, not to mention the time that would need to be allocated to the shoot itself, on the wedding day. I love to take a challenge and run with it though, so it wasn’t long (10 minutes?) before I was dreaming up ideas for their custom wedding Story Art piece.

Jeremy Sebastian is a Pro Boxer. When Jeremy and Emma gave me their lists of interests, I struggled to try and come up with a concept that fit both of them within one Story Art piece. Emma enjoys romantic comedies, classic architecture, old fashioned class and charm.

Emma – Bride
“I am into architecture and design, things that are a little different or quirky, old fashioned class and charm. Champagne, fashion and details, girly tv & movies (think gossip girl, crazy stupid love or my best friends wedding) I’m a sucker for a rom com!! The closest thing I do to a sport is yoga and even then I find myself making up excuses to skip class.”

With a massive bridal party of 14 (16 including Page Boy Hudson and Flower Girl Indi) coming up with an all in one composite was proving challenging. Jeremy’s interests were also polar opposites to his fiance’s, preferring action and adventure over classic romance.

I pondered on the perfect image for some time until one night, after being woken up by my daughter at 3am and not being able to get back to sleep, I formulated the plan for two separate images. One telling the story of the Bride getting ready and one telling the story of the Groom getting ready. By breaking them up into two separate artworks I was able to bring into focus each of their interests (and also create a more manageable piece with less people to fit in each image).

Knowing that Boxing was close to Jeremy’s heart, I came up with the idea you see here to tell the story of his day, one last ‘hurrah’ before the ceremony.
Jeremy is of course the one doing the punching… Can’t have the pro boxer groom being knocked out by his brother!

Jeremy Sebastian – Groom
“It’s just something so different… You don’t really see that, especially for things like Wedding Photography. It incorporates something that I love and it’s just really cool!”

We captured something amazing. We were able to create two unique artworks for our couple that break open the confines of traditional wedding photography. Artworks that tell their stories in such a unique way, in a never before seen format.
