Yay for Jeremy!

Jeremy saved our wedding ceremony! Our friends had shown us his photos a few months before our ceremony, but we had already booked another photographer. (Un)fortunately, she cancelled on us 16 days before our ceremony and we reached out to Jeremy. Luckily, he was available. We had an outdoor ceremony in March and Jeremy was incredibly accommodating. He could see how cold I was after a few hours and offered to use our remaining time as an engagement session on a warmer date. We were incredibly grateful to have Jeremy shoot our small wedding ceremony with family. We have received lots of compliments from friends and family about our photos too. Thanks Jeremy!


Nickeisha & Sid

The Absolute Best!

I have nothing but the amazing things to say about Jeremy!

When searching for a wedding photographer, we were looking for someone that was not only talented but also easy to get along with. When we met with Jeremy, we instantly knew we wanted to work with him for our wedding week.

Jeremy was extremely flexible with our needs - we had 6 pre-events (between my husband and I) and a 12 hour wedding day! He was always professional, on time and perfectly captured the essence of each day.

You will not regret working with Jeremy! I would highly recommend him over and over again.


Neha & Shivam

Amazing photographer

We were in a pinch as we needed a photographer for our engagement last minute. Jeremy was incredibly responsive and helpful. He helped us pick a beautiful location, helped with giving us advice on what to wear. We normally aren’t very good with taking pictures and he helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. It just felt like a fun afternoon! We also wanted to incorporate our dog in the pictures and Jeremy did an amazing job including him in the experience. The pictures were absolutely beautiful and felt natural. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better experience with a photographer.


Nancy & Sean

Awesome personality and wonderful photographer!

Since day 1, Jeremy showed us his ability to make anyone comfortable in front of the camera. Not only was he able to do this at our engagement shoot, meeting Jeremy and working with him felt like we’d known him for years! `COVID hit, and we felt so lucky to have already booked a photographer who was more than willing to work with us to accommodate our new date, venue, and location! On our wedding date, it down-poured, and things were chaotic at times, but Jeremy went with the flow, allowed us to do what we needed to, and as a result, the pictures captured more than just moments, but a string of images that tell a story of how the day unfolded. We were initially drawn to Jeremy for his photojournalism style, and throughout this entire experience, his talent of capturing ‘in the moment’ emotions have shown through over and over. We couldn’t be happier with the pictures we received. Highly recommended!


Sayeeda & Bobby

An amazingly efficient photographer!

Hiring Jeremy (YAYLOVE) was one of the best decisions that my husband & I made with our wedding! Due to Covid-19, we had to completely change our plans and we required different things from our photographer than initially needed. Jeremy was so understanding and so accommodating to our requests. His flexibility gave us a lot of peace during that stressful time.
We were also impressed at how professional, quick and efficient he was during the shoot and ceremony. My husband and I felt so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera, as he created an atmosphere where we felt like we could just be us. He also handled our families and their requests with grace and was able to navigate through the different cultural ceremonies.


Racheal & Kitoshi

He’s the best!

We felt so comfortable with Jeremy guiding us for posing shots and he captured so many candid moments that we will treasure. He’s the real deal and is a passionate photographer that loves his work. You can see it with his skill in both taking and editing photos. We used him for both engagement and wedding photos and were thrilled at how well they all turned out!


Tooba & Sohrab

Wonderful!

We had our wedding during the pandemic so there were a lot of uncertainties in the planning process. Because of this, we didn’t book a photographer a week until our wedding. We had a videographer already but wanted a photographer who could capture the beauty of the Aga khan museum well - I had done some research and came across Jeremy’s work and I still am sooooo happy that I did! Because I couldn’t have been happier with his work! He was an absolute pleasure to work with - professional and friendly. We ended up doing an hour of photography with him at the Aga Khan Museum and the pictures came out beautiful (wish we did a longer shoot though because time flies when you’re having fun!). He guided my husband and I with poses, he made us feel comfortable and he didn’t rush us during the process. I can confidently say that his pictures are the only ones I got framed and the ones I show people!! He captured some beautiful shoots that are so natural and timeless. His photos made our wedding album and video exactly how I envisioned it. Book him! You won’t be disappointed.


Shirleen & Gowtham

If there is one word to describe our experience with Jeremy it would be trust– and lots of it.

Gowtham and I were so, so lucky to be Jeremy’s first Indian/Tamil wedding, of course being a first of anything requires a lot of trust. Trust was not hard to build with Jeremy, he was able to answer all of our questions and was very understanding in accommodating our cultural modifications for our Hindu/Tamil wedding ceremony. Jeremy showed great enthusiasm and excitement in being part of our weekend. We were extremely impressed by his professionalism, and his patience (which requires lots with any multiple-day Indian wedding).

Jeremy was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. We were fortunate to have had him as our photographer for our engagement shoot, the traditional wedding ceremony and our reception. He is so very talented and passionate about his work, its evident throughout his phenomenal photography and style. As for the photos, they were top notch –natural, light and just perfect. He was able to capture such detailed expressions and every angle was perfectly captured. More than anything, our photos are incredibly beautiful. Our pictures tell a very detailed story of our wedding day(s) with nothing left out!

We were very blessed to have had Jeremy as our photographer. Without hesitation, we highly recommend yaylove.wedding to everyone for your special event. Thank you Jeremy, we hope we see you in so many capacities soon.


Dayna & Shaiel

Incredible Photographer!

We are so incredibly grateful that Jeremy was available to do the photography for our wedding! He is so talented and the photos just look how it felt! I don’t know how he did it, but even on a day that was so high stress and crazy, the photos look perfect and his presence really made everything easier.

We specifically chose Jeremy because we appreciated how he does not use tinted filters and didn't ask us cheesy questions in our early consultations. His style of photography is modern, timeless, clean and fresh and he just makes everyone look better / like themselves in his photos.

Jeremy was also so helpful in the planning of the event. He is very experienced and gave great recommendations, but was also such a calming, kind presence on the day-of. Just an amazing person to work with. Very dependable and responsive to all emails. Thank you SO SO SO MUCH. I cannot tell you how very grateful we are that we were able to have you there!


Rozelle & Shantanu

Exceptional Pre-Wedding Shoot Experience

I am super thankful for the incredible pre-wedding shoot experience you provided us at Stanley Park. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure working with you, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Firstly, your professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. You took the time to understand our requirements and delivered above and beyond our expectations. Your skill truly shone through in every shot, capturing the essence of our love story beautifully.

Moreover, your friendly demeanor and calm presence made us feel at ease in front of the camera, resulting in natural and candid moments that we will cherish forever. Your ability to guide us through poses and locations within the park ensured that we got the most out of our session, and the end result exceeded all expectations.

I must also commend you on your efficiency and punctuality. Despite the unpredictable weather conditions, you remained flexible and adaptable, ensuring that we maximized our time together and captured the perfect shots, rain or overcast.

In summary, our experience with you was nothing short of exceptional. Thank you once again for providing us with memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.


Mira & Nash

An absolute dream to work with!

We had a great time working with Jeremy! He gave us the freedom to be ourselves, and made us look incredible. His use of light is gorgeous, and his photos truly captured both the natural beauty of the venue and the atmosphere of the evening. He's wonderful to work with, too - very kind and super flexible. I'd recommend him very highly!


Tanja & Carsten

Incredible capturing of our wedding

Jeremy is the most observing and talented photographer I have worked with in a long, long time. His approach is documentational, going for the candid moments and shots instead of cheesy posing.
Beautiful shots and the most pleasant person to work with!


Kira & Spencer

We have absolutely loved working with Yaylove!

After looking at more than 30 photographers and even winning a $3,000 photography/videography package from another photographer, we didn't love a lot of the options out there. Yaylove was recommended by a friend and as soon as I saw his photos I knew he was the one to capture our wedding day! Yaylove has been absolutely amazing at responding quickly, sending contracts and revised contracts when we needed to update due to COVID, sending us teaser photos the same day from our engagement shoot and our small wedding this year! When we needed to change dates and then add a smaller date etc. he made all changes with ease and didn't charge any fees. We received all of our photos only 2-3 weeks later, where my friends have had to wait a month or more for their engagement shots or wedding photos.
We have absolutely loved working with Yaylove, the amazingly easy way to access our photos and display only the ones we want to our guests, ease of downloading, and the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING quality photos!! During the photo sessions he gives effortless direction, doesn't make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed and is very approachable and easy to work with.
I will be recommending Yaylove to everyone I know for any kind of photoshoot and would highly recommend him and his team to any other couple!


Emma & Kevin

Perfectly Captured!

I cannot sing my praises loud enough for Jeremy! Jeremy did our engagement shoot back in November and we were quite worried that we wouldn't be able to get the right shots, if we had to be in our winter jackets looking like a Michelins. Fortunately Jeremy looked out for us and recommended the perfect day and place for us to do our shoot and we were able to capture beautiful shots during golden hour a little before sunset! I also want to call out that my fiancé and I aren't models/super photogenic, but Jeremy's creativity, energy, and interaction with us made the whole experience a lot more fun than expected. Hands down we wouldn't think twice to have Jeremy shoot our wedding next year. Thank you Jeremy from the bottom of our hearts, for capturing such special moments of our lives!


Laura & Tyler

Jeremy is an expert at making you feel comfortable!

My husband and I used YayLove Photography for both our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be more thrilled with Jeremy’s work. Throughout the whole process he was so easy and professional to work with. Both of us dreaded the idea of photos of us and thought we would feel (and look) so awkward in front of the camera. Jeremy is an expert at making you feel comfortable to just be yourself and then captures all the beautiful moments. He graciously offered to stay later than we had originally booked him for so that we didn’t miss out capturing our first dance when the wedding reception was running late. We also loved his 2nd photographer Jose, he was amazing to work with! Both Jose and Jeremy made things easy and fun. Nothing felt staged but he somehow managed to capture everything, all the moments/shots we asked him to cover but also the ones we didn’t even know we needed but loved! As for his work, the photos speak for themselves, we are so happy with how they all turned out. He is so talented and we would recommend him to anyone.


Tasha & Matt

THANK GOD FOR JEREMY!

After wading through many photographers expensive photo packages chalked full of cliche wedding photography, we finally came across Jeremy’s portfolio and knew instantly he was the one. His photos were candid, playful, beautifully framed and featured gorgeous natural light. He’s super friendly, awesome to deal with, and gave us incredible value for the package we selected. We are so happy with how our photos turned out and would highly recommend him and his team to anyone.


Stacey & Nick

Wouldn't have been the same without him!

Jeremy came recommended to us by my best friend who had worked with him previously and spoke very highly of him. Once we browsed the Yaylove wedding portfolio, we were sold. The photos were so beautiful and intimate and the exact style we hoped for our big day. From the very beginning Jeremy was responsive and patient with me and my endless questions. Working with him was a dream, as two people who aren't necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, he immediately put us at ease. We got married in October 2018 and had booked both Jeremy and Jose for the day. They showed up right on time and started snapping photos immediately. Throughout the day they went the extra mile, even pulling out their cameras again after signing off for the night to capture one last memorable moment. When we got our photos back they were more than I could have ever hoped for, they captured our day perfectly both the candid moments and the posed ones. I am so thankful we connected with Jeremy, our big day wouldn't have been the same without him!


Marianne & Taylor

Beautiful photos!

Jeremy is immensely talented and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He offers great value for truly quality photos. All our friends and family were as impressed by his work as we were. Would recommend him in a heart beat!


Katie & Dennis

We didn’t know we could look that good!

My Fiancé and I had our engagement shoot with Jeremy this Autumn, we could not recommend Jeremy highly enough! Not only was the shoot itself super relaxed and fun but the pictures themselves are stunning (we didn’t know we could look that good!) and so natural!


April & Miles

Great eye for little details and eventualities

My wife April and I are elated to have had Jeremy photograph our wedding and reception. Discussing our options and establishing a game plan for our big day was easy and pleasant, and Jeremy was easy to communicate with - before and after our wedding. He was friendly, open and patient, and we felt confident moving forward with him from the start. Jeremy and his assistant were punctual and organized on the wedding day, and captured a lot of fantastic candid moments - they had a great eye for little details and eventualities, and the photos of these moments will keep the memory of our wedding vibrant and alive. They accommodated our specific scheduling needs, and were always where and when we needed them. The more traditional shots were fun and relaxed, and Jeremy managed to coach my goofball wedding party into some amazing shots, without sacrificing our personalities. They were discrete and professional during the ceremony and reception, and captured our wedding covertly, without missing anything. The photos themselves are all fantastic - we received them quickly, and it’s honestly staggering how many moments and memories were captured beautifully. Jeremy and his assistant have an obvious understanding of tone, light and colour, and what these elements mean in the context of a picture. April and I loved working with Jeremy, and would happily and enthusiastically recommend Yaylove to anyone.


Jessie & James

Jeremy is the perfect wedding photographer!

We are beyond thrilled with his photos of our special day.

IMAGES: Jeremy took a nice mix of heartfelt, candid shots and the obligatory posed photos with guests. All turned out beautifully!
EXPERTISE: Jeremy was very familiar with our venue (Toronto's City Hall) and made excellent suggestions, including some outdoor photos that turned out to be our favourites. Those photos were particularly difficult to take due to the harsh midday light backing us, but Jeremy skillfully and artfully turned them into beautiful shots. Even though we had Jeremy for only an hour, he made the most of every minute and gave us so many gems. He was able to capture so many different angles during the ceremony, too!

FLEXIBILITY: Originally, we weren't planning to have a photographer at our small civil ceremony, but we changed our minds the week before. Jeremy came highly recommended by a friend, and he kindly accommodated us on such short notice.

PROFESSIONALISM: Lastly, Jeremy was a joy to have on our wedding day. He was cheerful and professional. We highly recommend him!


Anne & Shawn

Capture the authentic moments

So grateful for Jeremy for capturing the moments of our Micro-wedding last year and our reception this year. We are terrible when trying to pose too much and we went with it and made it work in a SPECTACULAR way! He also is a lovely human to deal with.


Amanda & Rob

Thanks to this wicked team

My husband Rob and I got married June 2018. Prior to booking Jeremy for our big day I spent hours everyday looking for someone who would capture my big day perfectly. I looked through comment threads on Bunz Wedding Zone, wedding marketplace groups in Toronto and Brampton and on sites like the Knot. As someone who is mixed (Chilean/Filipino) and enjoys photography on the side, it was very important to find someone who would be able to capture candid moments and edit photos without making me look too yellow or magenta... especially on my big day. Beyond that, I wanted a photographer with a cool aesthetic and someone I would enjoy having around during the wedding. It felt like a lot to ask for and so when we found Jeremy and looked through his work we were so excited to hear he was available for our big day.

From the very beginning to end, Jeremy and his second shooter Jose were incredible to work with. They captured every minute of our big day perfectly, from the first kiss, the first dance, to small moments we will cherish forever (ie. me dancing with my mom and mother-in-law and my friends balling at my dad’s speech). We truly feel so lucky to have all of these incredible images to look back on thanks to this wicked team. We 100% recommend booking with him!


Stephanie & Forrest

Great experience + great photos

Jeremy was a fantastic photographer who was courteous and professional from start to finish. We asked to meet him fairly last minute and he was able to accommodate that. During our wedding reception he was polite and friendly when working with our many guests and was willing to accommodate any requests. He was good at directing people to make sure they didn't look awkward and rearranged tall/short people around so group photos looked balanced. The photos turned out great - we love the editing style and candidness. When looking at the photos they really bring us back to that evening. Glad he was able to document the majority of it.


Johanna & Wesley

My wife and I got married in May 2017. We had flipped through Jeremy’s Yaylove wedding portfolio and were both very impressed with his photography “style” and versatility. Beyond being impressed with his work, Yaylove fit our wedding budget and was a no-brainer.

Jeremy had clear and consistent communication with us throughout the planning season and leading up to our wedding date. This was appreciated as we were dealing with numerous vendors for different parts of the big day. We knew we’re in good hands when it came to photography with Yaylove.

On the day of Jeremy was an absolute machine capturing each and every candid and staged moment. He was very cooperative with our “wish list” of stages shots we wanted with friends and family. Multiple friends and family members commented on how efficient our photographer was.

What took Jeremy from an A to A+ was the fact that he voluntarily stayed at our reception capturing the “speeches” and “dance” over three hours longer than he was contractually obligated. Some of the best photos from the entire day were from that point onward. We are grateful for this.

The turnaround was quick and seamless as he mailed a USB with all the photos as well as setup a link for us to access/share. It was the best thing to come back to after our honeymoon!

I’ve already had someone reach out to me asking for a Yaylove testimony after seeing a couple wedding photos on Instagram and Facebook. My wife and I would definitely recommend Yaylove for anyone’s wedding or event as it matches quality with value. Excellent!


Ambika

Professional and easy to talk to

I reached out to Jeremy to take pictures of one of my pre-wedding events. Right from when I messaged him, he was professional and easy to talk to. He asked me what was happening at the event so he would know what to expect and to understand what I wanted captured. On the day of, Jeremy came early to set up and started taking pictures right away. As the night went on, Jeremy circulated around taking pictures of everyone and everything! The night was full of a lot of family, emotions, food and colour and Jeremy did an excellent job capturing all four. On the day of the event, I had requested one picture from Jeremy and he made sure to send it to me the same night. The rest of the pictures followed a few days later without having to wait too long. Thanks to Jeremy I have some amazing pictures from one of the most important and memorable nights of my life!


Jillian & Stephen

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding

We found Jeremy based on a craigslist ad, so we really didn't know what we would get, but his pictures seemed great so we went ahead. It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, Jeremy was professional from start to finish and put up with our constant questions and change of plans with patience and reassurance. By the day of the wedding we knew we were in good hands, and on the day of Jeremy was amazing. He was there before we even arrived, getting a sense of the venue and capturing spontaneous quiet moments before the rush. During the ceremony and the rest of the evening Jeremy circulated around every corner and seemingly captured everyone and every moment -- during his work he found ways to be present without interrupting the flow of the event, and we had many comments on what a pro he was. Receiving the images was super simple and we were shocked with what an amazing re-creation of the night they were. This was especially important to us since we had opted to omit a videographer, and after the magic of the evening we thought we regretted that a bit, but that was until we saw the photos which were everything we needed and more. The pictures are stunning and we couldn't be more pleased. Jeremy is also helping us and our family to have prints and albums made, an added bonus that is making everything so easy and insuring our memories will be around for a long time.
