Jeff Carr Photography

a very small local wedding in October 2019. He gave me his wedding price list and directed me to his website for any additional info. I gave him a $200 deposit on July 7th and emailed him on July 14th looking for the contract. On July 17th, I received an email from him that he would send the contract that week. On July 20th, I received an email telling me they don't book anything under a 6 hour wedding on a Saturday afternoon in October. This information was nowhere in the brochure or on the website and it still isn't. Nor did Jeff offer that information when we spoke at the bridal show. He was given the date of the wedding and approximate time along with the knowledge it was not going to be a big wedding, yet he still had me place a deposit and then not bother to get back in touch until I questioned where the contract was. If you're going to have a restriction on what packages are offered when, then you put that information out there. Essentially I was told because I couldn't offer him more money, he wasn't doing the wedding and brides paying more than my package pick are more important. In the long run this worked out for me because I found a fantastic photographer who is so much more friendly and down to earth. Great pricing with more coverage and actually replies to emails in a timely manner, not weeks later. Brides-to-be just be warned that restrictions may appear if your package pays less than what another bride will pay.

in issues were the unprofessionalism and poor communication. For a few examples, it took 3 weeks longer to receive our wedding photos than stated in the contract (said to allow up to 8 weeks, we didn’t get them until the END of 11 weeks). That was AFTER I reached out to him at the 10 week mark asking for an update and timeline as he didn’t have the courtesy to reach out to ME to let me know where the progress was. The photos I received were good but not amazing in my opinion. There were multiple shots of the same pose, some with very bright lighting, and 1 picture was just the top half of the cake (although I did receive a picture of the full cake). He also did not capture many of the small details from my wedding I was hoping to have pictures of. On the wedding day, the groom asked him for a particular photo (of just our rings) and he said “oh we’ll get to that”, which unfortunately he never did.. He didn’t get an exit photo of the bride and groom standing in the elevator with the wedding planner holding the doors open for the videographer to get his portion of the shoot. We also asked him for photos in a certain location after the ceremony and he stated “we don’t have time”. During the remainder of the night, he portrayed a certain interest in 1 of the bridesmaids and even took a selfie with her. This photo was actually provided by his co-worker from HIS camera. As the bride, I feel WE were the ones paying for his service, and I felt his interest was elsewhere during my wedding which was a huge letdown. Regardless of who pursued who throughout the night, as a professional this should have been carried out on a separate occasion. He stayed after the wedding reception to have cocktails with the bridesmaid, and then he texted the bride at 1 AM on HER WEDDING NIGHT asking to give his phone number to the bridesmaid. I emailed him a week after the wedding addressing his text and asked him for “2-3 photos of the groom and I” so I could use them on a thank you card. His co-worker responded “I will relay this information to Jeff”. I never received even 2 photos or any sort of preview. I never heard from him until I emailed him 10 weeks. His excuse was “we got overwhelmed with the amount of weddings and photo shoots we did from late September until current”. This was absolutely unacceptable. I’m aware that some wedding photos take 2-3 months, however this is not what was in the contract signed by both parties. Many other brides I knew were getting preview shots or all of their photos less than 3 weeks after their wedding. This made me wish I had hired a different company, and therefore I’m writing this review so other brides and grooms are aware of how his service works. I’m sharing this information not to accuse him of actions he didn’t do, but FACTS of the experience I had with this photographer. I’ve since talked with many people about this situation and have actually ran into 2 other brides who used him and shared the SAME story regarding him pursing his interest (bridesmaids) at weddings. This was truly a letdown with this company, and I don’t wish any bride or groom to have to go through these unprofessional actions on their biggest and most special day.

king pictures. He also got the pictures to us much sooner then he told us to expect them, and a little over a week after the wedding sent me a few to send out with my thank you cards, even before all the others were finished. All of the photos were lovely, and my husband, who is a CHRONIC blinker, kept his eyes open during 99% of them!! He was also very highly encouraging during all of the picture taking. :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

y or yelling. He had some of the most gorgeous pictures i have ever seen!

and comfortable around all of the cameras. He was quick to respond to my emails with answers to my questions, and worked with me to take all of the pictures I requested him to take. We all had so much fun with him - it was truly a great experience. On top of that, he had mentioned boudiour photos and I expressed how I had been wanting to do some of those. He told me we could do some right then if we wanted...so I got to do a few sexy boudiour photos before getting into my wedding dress. It was exactly what I wanted - I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. The price I paid for his services is uncomparable to other photographers. He is very reasonably priced and worth every penny. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a wonderful photographer for their wedding and trust him to take the best pictures.
