Wedding Photography Victoria BC Wedding Photographer Bay Area CA Jesse Holland bio picture

Hello!

I am a Californian Canadian; I moved to Canada for love (loves name is Kevin) but I still miss having an orange tree in my backyard.

I love my family.

I love my husband.

And I love my dog. Even though he can be bad, he is too cute to resist.

My first camera was a Fischer Price blue and yellow contraption that I only remember using to photograph Yosemite when I was seven years old; and I might be making that age up.

I found my love for photography in a basement bar in Japan, when I met a man named Carlos.

I broke my leg on a zip line and have had to have three knee operations as a result. Recovering from these operations was the most boring part of my life, though I did read a lot and watched way too much trashy tv.

The best use of my Psychology degree is people watching; I like to make up stories for myself about people I don't know.

I like telling stories with my camera; my stories and your stories.

I think I might be invisible. My reasoning? I am almost never able to set off motion sensor toilets at airports.

I am a photographer for people who want to capture the love in their life. The love for their partners, families and pets.

I am available to shoot worldwide and have a special on travel rates to the Bay Area of California.

xo,

Jesse

Tasty Tuesdays

11.17.09

Tasty Tuesdays is something my my friend Reuben Krabbe started a while back. Reuben tends to have good ideas. This sometimes makes me insanely jealous and I have to tell him that he sucks* at photography just to make myself feel better.

So, I have been playing along with Tasty Tuesdays for four weeks now. This photo comes from 2006, when I had a layover in Hong Kong, on my way way down to New Zealand to visit my sister (who was living there at the time). This is one of my favorite point-and-shoot photos. This building is lit by light reflecting off, and emanating from another, much newer, building that wasn’t nearly as interesting
