Victoria T.3/18/2024 - Jeff was the photographer for my daughter's wedding at the end of October. He was easy to work with, open to suggestions and provided good suggestions.

amy z.3/13/2024 - Jeff was the photographer at our wedding this past December and we could not be more pleased with him and his product.

- I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jeff as our wedding photographer, and I can't express how thrilled we are with the results. He is nothing short of amazing! From the moment we met Jeff, he put us at ease with his warm and friendly demeanor. He took the time to understand our vision for our wedding day and went above and beyond to capture every moment beautifully. Jeff has a remarkable eye for detail and an innate talent for capturing emotions. Our wedding photos are a testament to his skill – each image tells a story, and we can relive our special day through them. What sets Jeff apart is his ability to blend into the background, making everyone feel comfortable and allowing for genuine, candid moments to unfold. At the same time, he excels at orchestrating group shots with ease and professionalism. The turnaround time for receiving our photos was impressively quick, and the quality exceeded our expectations. Every image is a work of art, and we are beyond grateful to have these memories to cherish forever. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only captures moments but creates visual poetry, Jeff is the one. He is not just a photographer; he is a storyteller, and his work is simply exceptional. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend Jeff to anyone seeking the best in the business. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!read moreread less

- Jeff documented our wedding day phenomenally. His package prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of work. We got over 900 images of our wedding day and they're all so beautiful I'm going to have a hard time deciding which ones to put in our album! Even though I'm a slacker and didn't make a shot list (sorry 😬) Jeff knew exactly which family shots to take. He was even able to recreate a photo from my parents' wedding almost 40 years ago without a reference shot (again, my bad). I can't wait to share my photos with my friends and family. We'll definitely call him again for any photography needs.read moreread less
Briana R.4/17/2023 - Jeff was a pleasure to work with. When I first called him, we had no clue what our day was going to look like, knowing only that we had to have a church, food, and someone to take pictures. He guided me through what he expected and didn't list prices until the end of our 45 minute call, unlike every other photographer who listed their packages and hung up. On Saturday (our wedding), he was there bright and early and got loads of pictures all day. He was very attentive and got pictures of all of our big moments. We just can't wait to see them! Finally, he was very accommodating of a member of our wedding party with epilepsy and took great care to avoid unnecessary flash and to use more natural lighting wherever possible. We would strongly recommend you hire Jeff for your wedding.read moreread less

Shehrin C.12/17/2022 - Jeff did a wonderful job for our 11-11-21 wedding! He was very intentional about making sure that he got all of the important shots first and then went above and beyond by taking a ton of shots of those little details that you don't think about. As a bride, you already anticipate that the day will fly by so ensuring that you will have a photographer there to capture all of those moments you aren't a part of or can't remember, is vital! And most importantly, the pictures came out beautiful! I will certainly use him again and will recommend him to him any of friends and family.

Jesica S.12/17/2022 - Hire Jeff now! He was absolutely incredible to work with and there is no way I'm going to be able to capture all the reasons why without writing a full dissertation. Not only is Jeff personable and great to work with (he is SO easy going and keeps a calm demeanor even when the surroundings are hectic), he has a good eye for unique shots, and was 1000% on top of all the requests I gave for photo "must haves" (which was a lot considering my immediate family is 20 people....). Unlike other vendors, I didn't have to give a single thought to Jeff the day of the wedding and he got the job done well and quickly. We had over a dozen children in our wedding party and Jeff got nearly every one to look at him for the picture. He was very flexible when we needed to reschedule our engagement shoot (twice! oops....) and I LOVE that you get so many photos back! That gives me the opportunity to decide which ones are my favorite out of similarly done photos. You get a convenient link to a gallery so you can easily send it to your VIPs to download/order prints as well. I could go on and on, but truly 10/10 would hire Jeff again in a heartbeat!

- Jeff was easy to work with and flexible on our wedding day. He did a great job capturing guests on the dance floor. As much as I liked Jeff, he definitely seemed to lack creativity with pictures. My bridesmaids and I had to come up with most of our picture ideas and poses to make sure they weren’t all exactly the same with just a change in faces. After reviewing our pictures I realized there were some key wedding pictures missing. There wasn’t a single shot of just me, which was disappointing. We were also really lacking in mother/daughter shots. A lot of other shots seemed as though they needed just a quick adjustment to make them perfect, such as someone taking a step or two closer to others, slightly off center in front of the arbor during post ceremony pictures, and dance shots seemed to miss those perfect pictures in a frozen moment. Instead many were during a transition that wasn’t as nice. Looking back we would have also really loved some more posed pictures of us with our guests but it’s not something you really think about making sure is captured.read moreread less Devin S.5/09/2022

So I was very much excited to have him do my little family's photography session (which would be the first real professional photo session we've ever done.) We had to reschedule the first date due to rain which he was so awesome about and made it super easy to do. Taking pictures with a 6 month and 9 year old boys aren't easy but he pulled it off with incredible patience and we were left with stunning results! He made sure we got all the photos/poses/groupings we wanted. He was the perfect mix of being directional without being pushy, laid-back and friendly but still professional.

We felt that his pictures were a cut above, and we liked his positive attitude and his attentiveness to our preferences. Jeff was kind enough to meet with us several times on Zoom to talk with us about what pictures we wanted for our wedding, which we really appreciated. He printed the list out on the wedding day and was able to get all the shots that we wanted. He was patient with us even with our unique photo requests. He was excellent at directing people in each of the photos in order to perfectly capture each of the shots that we envisioned. Another thing we really appreciated was that he sent our photos to us several weeks earlier than promised. It was such a joy to relive our day with the pictures that he photographed so perfectly.

Cary G.12/17/2020 - We are beyond happy with everything Jeff did for our wedding. He was incredibly understanding with changes we had to make due to COVID19 and so flexible; the day-of was hectic and a little unorganized on our end because we had to re-arrange so much but Jeff just rolled with it and produced some beautiful pictures. He was so nice and helpful! There are some really creative pictures from the wedding that we are in love with. He was able to take a lot a wonderful shots even though we had a very short ceremony with just family. People have been shocked (and impressed) that the photos were taken in a backyard; he utilized the woods beside the house and angled it so that you can't even see the houses around. It made the day feel extra special. I'm so glad Jeff was our photographer and we will definitely be reaching out to him again if any other photography needs come up.

Sydney D.12/17/2020 - Pleasant, Professional, Reliable: Groom: Jeff did a fantastic job. I'm not someone who is very comfortable with anyone outside of my close friends and family being a part of important or emotional moments, and my wedding was both of those. I think I expected to resent having 'strangers' be a part of one of the most important and intimate moments in my life, and in his case, I was very pleasantly surprised. Jeff was professional, unobtrusive, and most importantly, he did a fantastic job. Several of the pictures he took are genuinely fantastic, and all of them are well-done and professional. I was very pleased with every aspect of his service. I specifically appreciate that we were provided with all of the photos taken, and the rights to use them - this isn't a universal practice, but it was very important to me and my wife. He was clearly dedicated to doing a good and thorough job, and it felt very much to me like he was doing a good job for its own sake, and that is something I deeply appreciate. Bride: Jeff took an interest in the ensuring that the photos were good, e.g. he would artistically flare dresses, or straighten jackets. He was the first of the vendors to show up, and the last to leave.read moreread less
