My Story


I'm Jeremy, and I was born and raised in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, where I still reside today.


Previously in my life, I have been in law enforcement, and firefighting, and since I was old enough, was always in some sort of public service. I enjoy playing golf, fishing, hiking, and traveling. In my free time I'm a snake educator, and if I'm not doing photography for clients, I will be somewhere photographing landscapes and nature.


For as long as I can remember, little things have caught my eye. It could be a leaf out of place, or just a small detail about a scene. This has stayed with me throughout my life. I've always loved photography, but a few years ago is when I started to take it seriously. Photography has become my refuge, and my passion. For a paid shoot, or just while on a hike, I love being behind the lens. This passion removes my stress and anxiety, and gives me a break from the world. What I love even more, is to capture the perfect moment for you and your family. That subtle smile from a newborn, or the overwhelming happiness from a bride. This split second of time, while in the moment may not be noticeable, will be a permanent memory for you, and your family for years to come.

“I have used Rare Encounters Photography for a couple of events at the Hampton County Recreation Department, and I have used Jeremy for a personal photoshoot with my nieces. All the shoots have turned out great! Jeremy was easy to book with and he was willing to do whatever to help gain the pictures I was looking for. I recommend booking with Jeremy because he is reasonable, flexible, and trustworthy. I will definitely be booking with Rare Encounters Photography in the future! Thanks Jeremy!”
