We had the good fortune of connecting with Jeremy Harwell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jeremy, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I am inspired by love and human connections. Hearing elderly peoples stories of their own “meet cute” and the ways they overcame adversity, that inspires me.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Having longevity and success in my industry requires a lot of patience. There are no shortcuts to creating quality work and relationships. It has not been easy, one has to keep moving forward and pressing on, one cannot “rest on their laurels ” You cannot take any client of job for granted, and when you stop caring it’s time to find another occupation.

I have been very lucky to be chosen by Martha Stewart Weddings as well as Conde Nast Brides as one of the Best 69 wedding photographers in the world.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love our beautiful Parks! There are so many in the city limits!

I love Inman Park and would start at Bread & Butterfly for a cappuccino and Croissant and then head to some of my favorite galleries- Whitespace or The Waddi, then some sightseeing in Oaklawn and lunch at Carrol Street Cafe. Definitely shop for some Vinyl in Little Five Points- Criminal Records and Wax “N” Facts. Definitely Dinner at Miller Union, and a tour of westside shops especially Sid and Ann Mashburn’s boutiques.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate my success to my wife and my children. They have taught me what true love is, what patience looks like and how kindness can change humanity. Their unending support, their love and their friendship truly inspire me to the best that I can be.
