J.Darren Photography

Jeff was our wedding photographer and we could not speak more highly him and his service and his product. He was very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding to get all of the details figured out. We had a large wedding party and he was very good with directing and making sure all the right photos were taken with all the right people. He delivered the photos to us in a timely manner, actually before when he said he would. Hire Jeff!

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!

Captured every detail. Excellent to work with! I love the natural look of the photos. I highly recommend Jeff!

Professional, responds quickly and communicates well, was clear about what to expect and thorough about what we wanted before the shoots. We got engagement and wedding day photos done and we are very happy with both. We would hire him again.

Jeff was awesome to work with for our wedding! The photos turned out amazing and he really captured all the moments. It was better than I imagined. He was easy to work with and made this stress-free. I would highly recommend him for everyone!

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.

Jeff was the best decision we made in our entire wedding process. He was very professional and experienced during all our shoots. We did our wedding and engagement photos with Jeff, not only do I love them, I get comments all the time about how great the photos are. He has a very keen eye for angles and lighting that will get you photos you will cherish. As I mentioned very professional, on time, very accommodating, and wonderful to work with, I can't say enough great things about him. I would highly recommend Jeff!!!

We loved our experience with J. Darren Photography! Jeff was very easy to work with - he responded very quickly to communication, modified our package to exactly what we wanted (we only needed 3 hours for our wedding & he still managed to get us 1000 photos!), & got us our photos in a timely manner. On the day of, he arrived early to set up and was very efficient in getting the photos we wanted while making sure they were high quality. We even had 2 dogs to include in our photographs and he did great with them. The lighting in all our photos is perfect, he had lots of creative ideas, and we absolutely love our photos. We would highly recommend Jeff for a wedding or any other photography needs!

I can't thank J. Darren Photography enough, as a fellow wedding vendor they are just always an absolute professional to work with. 10 stars!

Jeff did such a great job with our wedding. He was professional, helpful, and clearly knows what he's doing. He knew how/where to get the best shots, and he did a great job following the reception to get some really great candids.

Jeff is incredible. The past reviews say it all - he is beyond patient, calm, kind, and a wonderful photographer. He worked with us on rescheduling our engagement session multiple times. He also was so willing to see out our vision as we splashed around in the water (he even got knee deep as well). He provided us with extra time for our engagement session and our wedding day. We are thrilled with his work and hope to one day use him for family photos as well. Thank you, Jeff!

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! Not only an amazing photographer, but you can just tell that he's "good people" :)

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.

Jeff did an amazing job on our wedding day. He was prompt to respond to everything, got thorough details about the day and was so flexible on all the last minute changes/additions that took place without notice. He was patient and worked with us to create such beautiful photographs. Would highly recommend.

We were very impressed with Jeff. He captured everything we wanted and more. Very professional.

Jeff was great to work with and the pictures are amazing. He is very personable and knowledgeable. We were able to use the photos for multiple things from our save the dates, website, and even some of our wedding favors.

Jeff was extremely flexible & does an excellent job! He photographed our engagement shoot, my bridals, and our wedding. We definitely recommend his services!

My wife and I were so happy with Jeff’s work and his professionalism. While we were looking for photographers, we looked at several photographers, and Jeff stood out to us. 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. We highly recommend him for your own wedding.

Jeff is prompt and dependable. He is very personable and easy to work with. He is take charge and direct in a kind manner. His artistic ability to use lighting and positioning is impressive to say the least! We are 100% pleased with everything from his company as person to the absolutely beautiful outcome of our photos! Highly Recommend! Hire him, you won’t be disappointed!

We originally booked Jeff for our May 2020 wedding, but ended up postponing until May 2021. He was incredibly flexible with accommodating all the changes to our wedding due to COVID. He took time to understand what we wanted, and captured beautiful photos of our big day. We had a lot of kids at our wedding and he was great with them. He was also very fast with processing the pictures after the wedding. We would recommend him to anyone looking for high quality and great value.

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. We highly recommend him!

My husband and I hired Jeff for our wedding 09/05/20. Due to Covid, we had to change everything from the location to number of guests. Jeff was accommodating and changed his entire schedule for us without hesitation. The pictures he took were absolutely beauful and we will cherish them forever. I highly recommend Jeff.

Jeff did an awesome job for our micro covid wedding! He paid so much attention to detail and got every single shot I wanted him to - which was a lot!

Words cannot express how impressed we were with Jeff photographing our wedding.  Despite all the craziness and the ever changing weather he was beyond patient and amazing.  He definitely goes above and beyond for the perfect shot. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for amazing pictures and a kind,  professional photographer. 

Jeff is Amazing to work with. He makes you feel super comfortable and can make any location look amazing! He has a great eye for creating a beautiful photo. Jeff did our engagement photos and our wedding last October. Let's just say we will be using Jeff for the rest of our lives... Maternity, newborn, family, etc. Jeff is truly the best and we were blessed to get to work with him!

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.

Jeff was so easy and accommodating to work with, he asked specifically about what we wanted, suggested ideas and was totally willing to stay within our budget. We got fabulous pictures including a priceless shot of my teenage daughter covering her eyes during the newlywed kiss ! Jeff went above and beyond what we expected and was so professional. We highly recommend J. Darren photography!

We hired Jeff for our wedding in Greensboro and have no regrets. Our photographs turned out beautiful! He did a great job capturing each special moment from so many different angles. Jeff was also incredibly responsive and quick to answer any and all of our questions. His photographs will serve as beautiful memories of our special day!

He is such a kind and responsive photographer and by far the easiest we've ever worked with. He made the entire experience, from booking to ordering the pictures, pleasant and comfortable. We weren't even sure where to take the pictures, and he came up with everything based on what I had in mind for what I wanted for the engagement shoot. The best part is we actually had fun, and he was nice to chat with too throughout the process. We have family already asking about who we used for our pictures. We can't wait to do pictures with him again!

Jeff was great! We booked him for our engagements and wedding, he was so professional and helpful the whole way. He made scheduling really easy and accommodating. He knows his timing and when he suggested I revise my photo list, at first I was taken aback but sooo glad I made changes bc your time flies! He sent our website link about a month after along with a USB to keep. Him and his assistant were amazing the day of, never saw them sit down they were on the dancefloor captured all the best moments!! Thank you so much!! Definitely recommend him!

We loved working with Jeff. He's very experienced, so planning things like when to start photos and deciding which photos we wanted him to take was incredibly easy. He was remarkably patient with our family members who were trying to take photos while he worked (sorry about my aunt, Jeff!) and he was flexible enough to work our dog into some shots. Jeff's participation in our wedding was seamless, he was always around, but never in the way or calling attention to himself. Our pictures were beautiful, arrived when promised, and Jeff captured moments that we otherwise would have missed.

Jeff was great to work with! He was extremely professional and organized. He kept in great contact and was very responsive to emails throughout the planning process. He also met with us in person a couple of time before the wedding. During the ceremony and reception he was very much unnoticeable and out of the way. During our couples portraits he made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. We had a large family and a lot of photos to get through between the ceremony and the reception where our guests were waiting, but he got through them all very quickly, and was super organized. He even got all of the little ones (age infant - 4) to look at the camera at the same time in every photo they were in. He adapted well to our changing schedule as things shifted a lot when the wedding ran behind. He was really great! He has a good eye and captured so many beautiful moments. The day goes by so fast it is really wonderful to have these photos, because it was all a blur. He has lots of great creative ideas. He was flexible, and polite, and just perfect. We could not have picked a better photographer. It took a while to get our photos back (our wedding was at the beginning of peak season), but they were well worth the wait. We recieved over 1000 lovely photos. Hire him. You will not regret it.

We hired Jeff after a wedding photographer we had booked more than 8 months in advance mysteriously vanished just 4 months before the wedding. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise, as Jeff turned out to be a fantastic choice. As we live in a different state from where we held our wedding, we booked him after two phone calls to discuss his packages and decide on which would be best for us. The package we booked--which was very reasonably-priced compared to most other photographers in the area--included an engagement session, and Jeff was very helpful in suggesting places where we could have the pictures taken. The turn-around for those was lightning-quick, and we were even able to use them in some of our wedding stationary and decor. A few weeks before the wedding, we had another phone call with Jeff to go over the timing of the day; he helped us decide when we needed to arrive at the venue and how to structure the schedule of events so that we would have time to get in all the pictures we wanted. He also made sure to get a list of the portraits we wanted taken. The day of the wedding, Jeff and Hannah, our second shooter, were extremely patient with unexpected delays and took great care to capture all the details of our wedding. Jeff had many ideas for great poses and took care to get all of the portraits we had requested. We received the photos after seven weeks and are overjoyed with how they turned out. Jeff and Hannah captured so many special moments, and we will cherish the photos and the memories they embody for many years to come.

Jeff was fantastic. He did an excellent job with the pictures. He did our proposal, engagement, and wedding pictures. The pictures look amazing, I'm so happy with them. He does shots that you request and then some, he's flexible, responsive, great to work with. Highly recommend him!

My fiancé and I were looking for an engagement photographer in the area, and we requested quotes from quite a few photographers. Jeff’s portfolio quality and reasonable price won us over. He was the quickest to respond, and offered great suggestions for location. On the day of the shoot, he was very easygoing and made us feel so comfortable. I was worried that we would look awkward in our photos, as neither of us is used to being in front of the camera. With Jeff’s direction, the shoot was fun, natural, and easy. I was thrilled when I saw our online gallery – the pictures are AMAZING. I can’t wait to use them for our save-the-dates and in our home. If you are looking for a photographer, you cannot go wrong with J. Darren Photography!! Everything about the experience exceeded my expectations.

Jeff was the perfect photographer for our intimate wedding. We found him through friends who had a big wedding we attended about a year ago and fell in love with his ability to catch genuine and candid moments. We are IN LOVE with our wedding photos. Our friends and family who weren’t able to attend have all agreed he really captured mine and my husbands essence in our photos. We highly recommend for all special events! Thanks Jeff!!

Jeff Darren Photography did an outstanding job on our daughter's wedding at the Villa de l'Amour in High Point this past May! We are so thrilled with the results! Jeff was present from the beginning with the bride getting dressed, to the very end, when they left with the sparkler sendoff. Jeff's photos were creative, timely, sensitive, emotional....and just beautiful i every respect. He captured so many wonderful memories for us. The difficult part now is choosing which ones to print out, because there are so many good choices. My daughter's wedding was so beautiful and Jeff Darren made it perfect and memorable for a lifetime. THANK YOU Jeff Darren Photography K. Wilt

Jeff is an amazing photographer! He did a great job with communicating up to the event and making sure to get my must have shots! He also had lots of great ideas for other shots! He is very easy to work with and such a nice man! I couldn't be more pleased! I just got my pictures back from my wedding via his website and I am so in love with the pictures! I cannot wait for the disc to come this week! I cannot say enough about how much I love his pictures! He has a talent! He is also reasonably priced for what he offers, which is a huge plus! Thank you Jeff for helping to make my dream wedding come to life!

After we had to reschedule and change the location of our wedding with an eight-week notice we had to find a new photographer as well. Based on a referral from a local wedding planner we got in touch with Jeff Darren. He has been very responsive and great to work with from the beginning. He was flexible with the time we booked him for the wedding day and went over the schedule and our must-have photos with us in advance. During the day of the wedding he was awesome guiding us through the wedding party pictures. All reception pictures were beautiful and captured the vibe of the evening perfectly. He was never straight in anyone’s face, so everyone felt comfortable just being themselves. He delivered the pictures faster then expected. We couldn’t have made a better choice for our wedding photographer.

Jeff is AMAZING! He has a great personality and a phenomenal skill set. He went on so many adventures with us throughout our engagement session and wedding night to make sure we got all the perfect photos. He took paddle boarding shots, ocean shots, midnight moon shots and DOG photos all per our request and he NAILED it. I could not recommend him more. He is wonderful and will not let you down.

Great photographer!!!! SO happy with our photos! Jeff was wonderful to work with! Great quality and prices! Highly recommend him!!! :)

From what we have seen of the pictures already they are beautiful. Our photographer was Jeff he was quick to respond and had a lot of great ideas on where to take pictures!

I cannot recommend Jeff highly enough! He was extremely responsive from the get-go and always answered any questions I had right away! He spent an hour+ on the phone with me a couple of weeks before the wedding to nail down day-of timing, to ask if I had any shot preferences, and to answer any questions or concerns I had. The day of my wedding, he arrived a bit early to get everything scoped out and he was absolutely wonderful the entire day. One of my mom's pet peeves is when a photographer is too distracting at a wedding and she said she never even noticed him all day! His vision for each and every shot was so well thought-out and he beautifully captured every single minute of our day. We received all of our photos in 3 1/2 weeks from the day of our wedding...how amazing is that?! Any couple would be lucky to have Jeff photograph their wedding!

He was a great, experienced photographer! Always quick to answer any questions before the wedding and on the day of! The 10 hour package was super affordable and definitely what we needed. He was able to keep us on track the day of and make sure we got all of the pictures we wanted! Most importantly the pictures are BEAUTIFUL and we are so excited to hang them all over our house and remember the memories forever.

Jeff did an AMAZING job with our wedding pictures! He was accommodating throughout the entire day to ensure that my husband and I got all of the pictures that we wanted. It was like everywhere we looked there he was! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture the memories of our special day and can't thank him enough! I would definitely recommend Jeff to anyone in need of a photographer for any event!

Jeff did an absolutely wonderful job in capturing our wedding. We were given three full discs of pictures that captured every aspect of our wedding, from the getting ready to the sparkler exit! We love our pictures and recommend Jeff to anyone in the Greensboro/Raleigh/Triangle area.

Jeff is absolutely amazing! He was extremely flexible with our time and our schedule through the entire process from engagements, to bridals, and to the big day! The pictures came out wonderful, with extremely quick turnaround time. For two people who are not used to having their pictures taken, we felt completely comfortable.

Our experience with J. Darren Photography was excellent from beginning to end. Jeff was fun, laid back, professional, and communicative. I got price quotes from at least 5 other area photographers and he by far offered the best value that fit with our budget without compromising quality or coverage. The images were finished exactly when he said they would be and they are amazing! Jeff is super talented and great to work with--highly recommend!

I have never worked with a professional photographer until my wedding and I think I literally found the best one. He is so sweet and on top of things. You never don't know what is going on, he never forgets a detail and he never ever misses a meeting. Needless to say, out of all of our vendors he is the only one we 100% trusted and 100% counted on. Definitely will use him for every event in the future. His pictures are absolutely gorgeous. He really takes the tip to get the best shots and to figure out what the couple likes.

Jeff was a great wedding photographer! Not only was he wonderful to work with but he was also very efficient at getting your photos back in a timely manner! The photos were excellent quality and his pricing was/is extremely reasonable! I would suggest working with Jeff if your an upcoming bride and still searching for a wedding photographer! You can't beat him!

Amazing photographer. He took tons of pictures and they were amazing! We received the pictures less than 2 week after the wedding. He was very helpful and listened to all of our requests!

Jeff was absolutely fantastic to work with for my wedding. He was easy to get a hold of and super responsive via email. We spent some time talking through on the phone what kinds of pictures I absolutely wanted and we worked out a timeline of the day so things would go smoothly. Jeff showed up a little early the day off so check out the venue and make sure our game plan would still work. We were getting married on a farm and it was looking like rain so we improvised a little on our original plan and he assured me that we would still be able to get lots of amazing pictures. He was super friendly and seamlessly blended into the background. He captured all the special moments getting ready and worked tirelessly to get extra shots. My guests were so impressed by how hard he was working that many actually mentioned it to me at the reception. He was always in a good mood and stayed until the very end of the night. I can’t recommend him enough. He was able to get our pictures back to us very quickly and we were so happy with how they turned out. It is truly priceless to have that most amazing day captured in photos that we can look at for years to come. Thank you Jeff!

Jeff was amazing the entire time! My fiancé was deployed during our first meeting and he put me completely at ease. He also took time out of a weekend when my fiancé got back to the states to be able to meet both of us. He was so accommodating the day of, there was unexpected rain and he worked so well with it and got us amazing photos within two weeks of the wedding! Jeff was great and I would recommend him to anyone.
