A true professional and artist. We absolutely loved working with Jeff, and you will too!
I could not have asked for a better person to trust with our wedding photography! Jeff is a fun and energetic guy who makes the sometimes awkward aspect of a photo session lively, hilarious, and fun. Jeff always finds a way to capture authentic...
laughter, smiles, and love in his candid shots. I would 10/10 recommend Jeff for any photography needs you may have, and definitely for your wedding photographer!
Jeff was the ABSOLUTE BEST!! He made our engagement photos and wedding day so much fun!! His personality and quality of his photos made hiring him the best decision of our wedding. I highly, highly recommend hiring him you wont regret it!!
We had Jeff shoot our wedding recently and things could not have gone better. We had to reschedule twice due to Covid and he made the rescheduling process a breeze in all respects.
He was great to be around, easy to work with, and created a w...
elcoming and stress free environment. This was an incredibly fun experience.
Jeff has a knack for unique pictures and he did a great job editing. He really captured the moment.
We highly recommend him!

Jeff is amazing! I am so happy that Jeff was there to photograph our wedding. He gets every little detail and made the whole experience so much fun. He has the sweetest and most fun personality that made the whole experience even more enjoyable...

We received our wedding photos ahead of time from Jeff and they are simply amazing! He is a very talented photographer. He not only captured all the important moments of our wedding day, but also delivered them beautifully! Also, Jeff is very ...

Hairong!
I can't say enough about how charmingly beautiful your wedding was at the Van Dusen... With all the challenges that 2020 brought for international travel, I know how hard it was to not have your family present... My thoughts all day we...

Thanks so much, Josh!!
Kept everything very light and friendly. He was very clear and efficient with everything. Past experiences at other weddings pictures were always the most chaotic and hectic experience, but not here. I did accidentally burn him with a spar...

Colin!! Hahaha it's true... I felt that. I was backing up during the sparkler exit and suddenly felt a sharp, hot, prod in my side. I remember immediately thinking, "Why would someone jab me with a sparkler??" As I turned my head toward the off...
ender, I saw your face staring back at me with the same frightened/alarmed face I was giving you. Hahaha No problemo man! Shirt, flesh, and emotional wellbeing still intact.
Cheers man, was fun meeting you!
Jeff is absolutely outstanding. He captures the moments that most photographers don’t even think about. He also knows how to give great guidance for couples who feel a little awkward in front of the camera. I love that he puts in that extra eff...

Jeff did an awesome job photographing our wedding! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone without hesitation. In the weeks before the wedding, we had several conversations where he helped us plan the timeline for the day and what photos we ...
wanted. He is so easy and fun to work with! From helping position me so I don’t look awkward (a difficult task in itself) to hiking through a field for sunset photos to literally dancing with everyone on the dance floor to get the perfect pictures, Jeff did everything possible to make sure we have photos we will love and look back on fondly for years to come. I couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you for everything!
I truly cannot say enough on how wonderful Jeff was to work with. His talents show not only in his pictures, but also his shining personality. He brings this energy that makes you feel confident, and at ease. He’s punctual, communicative, flexi...

I HIGHLY recommend Jeff Dose.

Abby! Shooting weddings is one of my favorite things and when I get to capture the wedding of a friend, it makes it just that much more special! It was incredible getting to know Aaron and seeing the remarkable love the two of you share!
Jeff was recommended to us by a family member. After one meeting and seeing his work we were convinced he was the photographer for us. We were attracted to his artistic work and amazing energy. He has a personality that makes even the most shy...
and reserved person smile. He was prompt and personable and helpful with all things wedding. He helped me to develop a day of schedule that created a seamless flow on our wedding day. He was also able to make changes and promptly change the plan if something came up. Jeff used every second of his time with us to take amazing photos, He really is the best ever and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Response from the Vendor on 08/12/2020
Kristine! Can we just go back and relive your wedding day again and again? Shooting down in Rochester is always special for me, and with a couple as great as you and Michael - well that day was perfection! Thank you for kind words!
Jeff was absolutely spectacular on the day of our wedding and every interaction leading up to it. From the first day we met him, we both could see how much Jeff cherishes and respects marriage. He showed a genuine interest in getting to know us...
and understanding what we were hoping to accomplish with our wedding. That's exactly the type of person I wanted around to help keep me in the moment throughout the day.
We had a somewhat small wedding (90 guests) so everyone had a chance to interact with Jeff. They all LOVED him. Our photos came back on time and we couldn't have been happier! They were all so beautiful and you would never have guessed it was 96 degrees outside and that the flower girl was on the verge of a meltdown. Everyone looked calm, beautiful and happy. We could not have been happier with Jeff!

Kristy! Thank you so much for your kind words! Getting to capture a day as beautiful as yours is what makes me love what I do!
I used to think that photographers were overpriced.
Jeff was worth ten times what we paid. He is such a bright light of a human being and he helped make our big day so special.
His pictures are amazing. Check out his blog.
He was FAST doing p...

Amazing pictures. Even better person.

Oh Lars... I can't thank you enough for saying this! I feel like I've been missing out, not having met you and Caitlin until this year! As if you two aren't enough, your family and friends are simply the coolest, most welcoming people EVER. Tha...
t was a some FUN. You two know how to do relationships and it's so inspiring! Thanks for lighting that fire!!
We hired Jeff to photograph our outdoor wedding in May. We were initially impressed with examples of his past work (and communication skills) during our initial meet-and-greet. As the date drew closer, Jeff expertly accommodated our wants and n...
eeds both prior to the event and during and put us completely at ease--quite a feat when working with a camera-shy couple. Furthermore, his dedication to getting the best possible photos in the situation is admirable: All of the photos he took are simply stunning. If you are looking for a photographer who is flexible, professional, and extremely good at their craft, go with Jeff Dose Photography.

It was an unforgettable day... Miss you and Adam so much!! Thanks for letting me shoot for you!
Jeff did our engagement and wedding photography. He is phenomenal! I am picky about photography as I studied this in college, I reviewed numerous photographers styles and portfolios before choosing Jeff. My pictures turned out better than I co...
uld have imagined! I don’t have enough wall space for all the pictures I love. Jeff is easygoing, timely, professional, open to ideas and sent me preview pics really quickly. Our venue Legacy Hill - posted several of our wedding photographs on their website too. Everyone who sees our wedding pictures asks about who did the photography. I recommend him to everyone. I would love to have him take family pictures in the future.
Thanks Jeff!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2018

Jeff Dose and his photography are AMAZING!!! My husband and I knew right away that we wanted Jeff to be our wedding photographer because he made us feel so comfortable and is an extremely talented photographer! Jeff is a very genuine person a...
nd cared about getting to know us as a couple. We really enjoyed our engagement shoot with Jeff and love the pictures that he took of us.
We found out the day before our wedding that we would be unable to take pictures at our wedding venue that afternoon as planned. Jeff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly by coming up with awesome ideas for a backup plan and his calm demeanor made everyone feel at ease. We received compliments throughout our wedding night from guests regarding Jeff and how he captured such intimate moments in a non-intrusive manner. One of our family members, who does not enjoy getting pictures taken commented, "that was painless." Jeff truly made the process easy and fun for everyone. Jeff stayed later at our wedding to ensure that we were able to take pictures on the golf course and that we were satisfied with all of the pictures taken. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Jeff and we highly recommend him! We LOVE and cherish our engagement and wedding pictures!

Jeff is absolutely fantastic! He has excellent people skills and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. His prices are reasonable and our photos exceeded our expectations by far. We would highly recommend his services to anyone...
searching for a wedding photographer!
Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2018
Thanks Jessie!! I cannot say enough about you and Max... You two are so incredibly warm and welcoming!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Jeff with Jeff Dose Photogrpahy was hands down AMAZING! If you are looking for a photographer you will not regret having Jeff there to shoot your big day!
Prior to the wedding, Jeff and I met up to discuss my expectations, hopes, goals and vis...
ion. This included shots that I wanted, areas around the venue, times, and schedule. Jeff also had a contract that we went over; this ultimately stating everything I was asking for.
When it came to the day of the wedding, Jeff and Chris arrived early and went around shooting photos of the venue. Then each photographer went and shot photos with the Bride, Groom and the wedding party. We loved this aspect as each of them captured different angles and different moments that ‘caught their eye’.
Jeff is there to be whomever and whatever you’d like him to be! We wanted someone involved and felt like he knew all the guests and that is exactly what we got! Jeff and Chris were dancing on the dance floor, making there way around the venue getting tons of photos, with a variety of angles.
One aspect that I truly love is, we got our photos back before they were promised to us, and they don’t have any watermark or label on them. We always give Jeff credit when posting photos, but it is so nice to have the actual photo without words or a logo on top of them. Every photo we got back is a photo we will treasure FOREVER!
I cannot say enough good things about Jeff with Jeff Dose Photography. He is someone who was there for our big day, but we will consider him a friend for life!
