Jeff Hall Photography

could have imagined!

, lighting, and attention to detail in his work is unmatched. We could not have asked for a better photographer. Aside from his incredible work, Jeff is a super friendly guy and makes taking photos fun and stress free. He worked so well with our families, wedding party, and guests. He was even amazing with our little ring bearer and flower girl. We are in love with how our photos turned out! Best photographer, hands down. Book Jeff Hall for your wedding or other event, you can thank us later! :)

f was exactly what we were looking for. We feel lucky we found him. Working with Jeff was so easy and fun from the first consult to receiving the finished photos. He was responsive, prompt, flexible, and professional. Jeff made our wedding day experience so much less stressful and actually made us feel comfortable, which is no small feat, as my now-husband and I don't love being in front of a camera! He added so much value to our day and the guests enjoyed being around him, too. Definitely our favorite vendor to work with! The day after our wedding, Jeff sent us some sneak peak photos that we LOVE! Those sneaks had us eager to see the rest, which came exactly one-month-to-the-day after our wedding, which we were impressed by. In sum, you won't regret working with Jeff. In fact, you'll feel lucky to have the chance to have met and worked with him every time you look at your photos again. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jeff!! Love, Lexi and Matt

funny and told us exactly what to do (which is what we totally needed). All my wedding party also complimented how awesome Jeff was. Thank you Jeff!

st photographers I've ever worked with, and believe me, the quality does not show the speed. An easy and strong recommendation.

le but guided us through the whole process effortlessly. We are a bit awkward when it comes to posing for photos and with his help through it all, it felt easy and enjoyable. Jeff was also very professional and just easy to work with. Best photographer we've ever worked with aI highly recommend him and would definitely work with him again in the future for other types of occasions.

ghting, in any type of background setting… especially the sunset photos. We super appreciated that Jeff made the planning & execution process seamless for us on our special day. He took charge of the timeline and shooting locations (Point Loma, San Diego) and perfecting everyone’s poses. He made sure to capture all those special moments and then some, as well as honoring our few photo requests. They ALL turned out beautifully! Thank you so much, Jeff! 14/10 recommend!

ike we had known him for years! He took the most amazing photos and captured everything I would have wished for and more!! He is an amazing photographer but an even better person! We can’t wait to have him take photos for all our future adventures. We love you Jeff!!

kward taking pictures and he makes it look and feel so natural. And I totally LOVE how he can make pictures come to life with the shots he takes. Truly makes your day memorable. Thank you so much Jeff!

xt to me gave me a hug and said everything is going to be beautiful. When I found him on Instagram and read his reviews, I knew he was the photographer we needed. He captures amazing still moments. My husband and I are so grateful for every single moment captured on our happiest day.

xcited too and made us feel completely comfortable. I will recommend Jeff to anyone, anytime. I can’t thank him enough. He captured the moments, memories and feelings that will last a lifetime.

ng with him in person you can instantly see his passion and creativity for photography. He not only is the best at what he does, but he also made us feel completely comfortable during our engagement session and on our wedding day. He also made sure that on my wedding day he got all the shots that I asked for. I am completely in LOVE with all our wedding day photos. He did an amazing job at capturing the whole day and everyone's emotions. He fit right in with our crazy family as well. We had a big wedding party of 20 and Jeff made sure that we got pictures with everyone individually and as a group. I can't put into enough words how happy I am that we hired Jeff for our day. These photos are going to be memories that we will get to keep and cherish for the rest of our lives!

her in June 2019. We had 2 different gorgeous engagement sessions & our wedding day with Jeff. During all of our sessions Jeff made my husband & I feel comfortable and made our sessions feel fun and easy. Jeff does a great job directing you so you don’t feel or look awkward. He has a great way of encouraging you to look natural & it’s easy to get lost in the moment with your partner. He is honest and takes initiative to ensure he stands behind his work. He takes time to consider things like weather and the location to ensure each photo shoot is a true work of art. On our wedding day, Jeff captured everything we wanted and more! He and his second shooter captured all of our details, the sweetest candid moments, and most importantly the love and magic of the day! Jeff is personable, professional, a true artist, and a really good time! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with all of our engagement & wedding Photos.

ply so fast and answer all my questions. When I learned that the Tioga pass (the road to Glacier and Taft Point in Yosemite) was closed for the year, I told him that maybe I will just postpone the photoshoot to the following year. He told me his thoughts that even though those sites were closed, there are so much other sites in Yosemite that are just about as amazing as those. So I booked a sunrise wedding photoshoot session with him. We met at the crack of dawn, and he told us that he has been on the road since 1AM! Even though we know he was tired, he drove us around Yosemite to capture gorgeous photos in numerous locations. We got along so well and talked about life stories and his career and experience. That’s not the only best part, but he is also a Jeeper! No wonder we got along so well! He had so much crazy ideas (from us standing over big logs by the waterfalls to us standing over the ledge of a bridge), but the crazier, the BETTER! He made us so comfortable and confident, even in the center of so many people watching over us. He showed us a few photos 2 hours after the shoot, just enough to tease us. And was able to deliver the rest of the photos 2 days after! So much fast turnaround. Not only does he capture photos in California, but people hire him even internationally! We are so amazed by his work and experience. Definitely going to book another shoot with him in the future!

did such a great job making both myself and my husband feel comfortable, those initial image woes went away. Jeff and his team truly captured some of our favorite shots we have ever taken, and were fucking cool as hell, while being professional, the whole way through. Plus, we were a COVID couple who had to switch our wedding date 4 times. Jeff always figured out how to make it work and was so understanding during that time. A+ all around.

pt it fun! It was a torrential downpour on our day, so we had to move our ceremony inside. I was really bummed because I saw how Jeff captures the beautiful landscapes in his photos, but he went above and beyond to make sure we took advantage of the situation…my favorite photo was my husband and I in the rain under a clear umbrella. I would have never thought to do that! He was a pleasure, and patient with our wild wedding party. You won’t be disappointed if you book Jeff! We are very pleased with his work, and can’t wait to get canvases and prints! THANK YOU JEFF!!!

ographer and unfortunately had to postpone our engagement shoot and wedding due to covid, and Jeff was more than accommodating and flexible. When we first met Jeff for our engagement shoot we were a little shy in front of the camera, but Jeff is a PRO at directing and posing and helping direct the shoot while still letting authenticity show through. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out perfect and are something we will cherish forever. Thank you so much for everything Jeff!

ing. He was simultaneously an invisible wedding guest and also our best friend. Exactly what you need from an event photographer! A few days in advance of our wedding, Jeff our family in Yosemite for engagement photos and family portraits. He jumped in our rented van and took us on a tour of all the most incredible photo locations. Everything was timed perfectly so that we could get epic shots at Taft Point at sunset, as well as tremendously fun photos along the way. By the end of the day my brother-in-law was all but inviting him to be best friends. The day of the wedding the family was abuzz with how excited they were to see Jeff again. Words can't describe the value of having someone you can truly trust and feel comfortable with recording your most important day. Husband and I are so glad that we chose Jeff to be our guy.

postpone for an entire year. He was so flexible with the change and continued to communicate with us as the year went on. My husband HATES having his picture taken and Jeff made him so comfortable that we now have the best photos of us to date! Along with him just being a great human, Jeff also has high quality work that showcase his talent and also captures the best moments in a way I could have not found in any other photographer. I have been recommending to anyone I can! Hands down the best guy and best wedding photographer.

h. If you need a wedding photographer, go with Jeff. The photos are perfect and Omgosh when the sun sets, be prepared to be amazed.

e and beyond for his clients, he got us champagne and a beautiful Bouquet to use in our photos. He genuinely cares about his clients and once we actually have a wedding date I will 100% be using him as our wedding photographer. Thank you so much Jeff!

os back within a couple weeks. Great to work with and I think we found our family photographer! His eye is amazing. He produced some really stunning work.

inner, and wedding day. His pictures capture true emotion, and he is a genius at what he does. He is also so quick with turn around, and loves to send sneak peaks and teasers out to you to view ahead of time. I am constantly asked about our photos and who our photographer was. What is even crazier is a lot of people already know his work which is a testament to his talent! I would absolutely hire him - a million times over. He is so kind, genuine, and the best wedding photographer out there.. period! :)

and reviewed the portfolios of ~100 photographers, and ultimately chose Jeff because we loved his style and vibe, including both his photography and him as a person. We are so grateful for his patience, guidance, and sense of humor throughout the entire process and our big day. Not only was he a consummate professional with superior photography skills, but he was also able to put us at ease while keeping us and the entire wedding on track. We received a surprisingly large batch of photos the day after our wedding, and also received the full package of multiple albums several days ahead of schedule. We love you Jeff

o capture it. I had seen Jeff's photos before and, without fail, every single photo made me stop in my tracks as they were gorgeous, unique and every one looked they had just come right out of a magazine. (If you're reading this, you already know what I'm talking about.) And let's be real, what bride/couple doesn't want jaw-dropping, show-stopping photos? After talking to Jeff the first time, I not only recognized he would be worth every penny, but my engagement/wedding wouldn't be the same without him. Then we did out engagement photos and it was obvious time wasn't of the essence for Jeff. He didn't think about the time you booked him for, he cared about getting THE PERFECT shots (that's right, not just one, but he wanted every shot to be perfect). And if you're an adventure person, he's your guy - what other photographer will stand in a creek, almost drop his camera but still make sure he gets THE shot?? He made it where by the time the wedding came around, we trusted him with everything - including having us walk through rocks and snow to get to a pier for, again THE PERFECT SHOT. Every vendor we worked with recognized he was a rockstar. Beyond that, he turned photos around quickly (and if you've ever waited for photos, you know how impatient that can be) and made sure the couple was SET for the day. Including having the photos you don't think you have time for at the moment, but he knows you'll want later. SUMMARY: Consult with Jeff. Book Jeff. No matter where your wedding is, domestic, international, in your own backyard. Make him the first vendor you book and everything else will fall into place. The End.

llow him on Instagram. I knew from that moment on that I wanted him to shoot my engagement/ wedding photos. I messaged Jeff and told him that I wanted to work with him! He worked with me every step of the way! Jeff Hall is reliable, funny, creative, outgoing and HONEST! Jeff responded to all of my messages/emails in a timely manner, showed professionalism, and gave me an amazing package that we could afford. I will forever be grateful! One thing that I will always remember is the love and support that my husband and I received from Jeff. We trusted this stranger to be apart of our lives and our special days and we couldn’t be happier! If you are looking for someone who will touch your heart and make you (happy) cry then choose Jeff Hall to photograph your special moments! I look forward to working with Jeff in the future.

the wrong choice and way before that I had already came across his pictures and was blown away by his amazing work! I actually cancelled the contract I made with the other photographer and contacted Jeff right away to see if he was available for our wedding date. I think the investment you make in the pictures is one of your top priorities because they are memories that stay for a lifetime! We had two engagement sessions and both times Jeff was able to pull off the best shoot even with the weather not being on our side! And of course, he did amazing at our wedding! I highly recommend him for your next event! I know for sure we will keep him as our photographer for our near future life events! 😊

mazing views from the venue and also capture great close-ups - and he did not disappoint!!! I do not recall the exact package we purchased but it also included an engagement shoot. I was blown away not only with the quality of the pictures both from our engagement shoot and our wedding but with Jeff's awesome personality and professionalism. We felt so awkward at the engagement shoot and he was able to make us look like professionals! Also, having him around on the wedding day was such a treat!!! My friends and family are still raving about how amazing his work and his personality were! You can really tell he is so passionate about his work and wants to capture pure perfect moments. I was shocked at the raw emotion he was able to catch and will cherish these photos forever. He is also so easy going and so easy to get along with, which immediately puts you at ease and makes better pictures!! His photograph turnover is also INSANE - he gets the pictures back to you ASAP so you can immediately enjoy them and share with family and friends. He also gives you full access to ALL photos which you can print through the website or download for free - NO PRESSURE AND NO WATERMARKS! I am SO HAPPY we chose Jeff to be a part of this special time in our lives - he is 1000% worth it and I cannot recommend him enough!!! All the love to Jeff - he is truly talented and AMAZING!!!

hired him for our wedding in Turks and Caicos. Again we where blown away both the quality of Jeff’s work and how great he was through the whole experience. Jeff is an amazing photographer, and a huge help on our wedding day!

icer than using my phone. What I was requesting from the photographer (especially a good one) I knew was going to be challenging to find. After looking through Jeff’s gallery, we knew we had to choose him. And lucky for us, he agreed to work with us. My daughter hates having her picture taken so they tend to look very staged or unnatural. Jeff is so fun and friendly and made my daughter feel so comfortable. He was somehow able to capture her so perfectly. We gave him our vision and he executed it perfectly. Her pictures are simply perfect. He took so many amazing shots that I’m now having an impossible time choosing my favorites because I genuinely love them ALL. Its evident Jeff takes pride in his work and genuinely cares for his clients. I am so grateful we found Jeff and now have our forever photographer.

ere printed in Bridal Magazine they were so amazing... So when my youngest daughter got engaged we immediately called Jeff. He was already booked for the wedding date..July 27, 2019 not surprised as he is that good..so we had him photograph engagement pictures. He drove all the way to Mammoth Mountain to take pics in the snow. Which were spectular... I cannot Express how much I love and appreciate his work.. He has a special eye for that special shot. Professional and his videography crew was great also..Highly recommended if I could give 100 stars I would..xoxo

ras had me feeling like a deer in headlights. But Jeff was so good at directing us and giving us little things to do to make us feel more comfortable and to get our minds off of being in front of the camera. He was so incredibly nice, flexible, and understanding, and it shows through his work. Our engagement and wedding photos are truly spectacular and we couldn’t be happier with them.

eginning, Jeff had great communication with us; replying to our questions/concerns in a professional manner and with a quick turnaround time. He is transparent with everything he does so we were always on the same page throughout the entire process. Jeff’s work ethics and his passion for photography speak for themselves through his photos. He has his vision and ideas of how to capture angles, lighting, moments, but he also is very open to his clients’ ideas and what they envision their day to be or what specific moments should be captured. For our engagement session, Jeff was really patient working with us on our locations and giving us feedback on how we could make the most of our session. From the e-session, it was clear that Jeff’s work is quality over quantity. Although we took many shots of the same pose, the proofs showed that Jeff wanted everything to be perfect in that shot – from the lighting, composition, angle, everything. By the end of the e-session, we almost forgot that we were doing a professional shoot because we had become comfortable around Jeff and his cameras. Fast forward to our wedding day, my husband and I were concerned that Jeff and his team would not be able to capture everything that we hoped to have. But Jeff’s team did not disappoint. They did a fantastic job keeping up with the day, capturing both candid and professional shots. Jeff’s team was prompt and was ready to go at each location provided to them. I also want to point out that Jeff was feeling under the weather that day but he was a fighter, pushing through shooting outside with the wind and stayed for the entire day without complaining. That shows great dedication and customer service to your clients. Regarding the end products of Jeff’s services, they are PHENOMENAL! Jeff is consistently upgrading his products to provide the highest quality to his clients. When designing our wedding album, Jeff contacted us (after we had finalized the selection) saying that he overlooked the amount of pages and that he doesn’t cheat his clients. Honesty goes a long way and so does being patient to view the photos. It’s often difficult to remember that Jeff has a lot of clients, so keep that in mind as you are eagerly waiting to see the proofs of your session. Our photos from both our e-session and wedding day came out beautifully and portrayed exactly the people my husband and I are. Lastly, one of the things that we really appreciate about Jeff is that he goes beyond his job as a photographer. He is sentimental and truly cares for his clients. He continues to maintain great communication with us after the wedding which shows that it is not all about business but about creating a relationship, a friendship. In addition to what we contracted with him, my husband and I received a few additional surprises from him that we cannot thank you him enough for. Bottom line: Jeff is awesome. His service is professional. His products are amazing. His prices are justifiable based on his work. Everything about him is just absolutely wonderful!

hose Jeff to take our photos. He is really awesome to work with, and we had a lot of fun at our shoot! He was willing to hike up a trail in Yosemite with us and captured some gorgeous pictures along the way! Also, he pushed us to climb on rocks, a wall, etc, and I am so glad he did! Not only did it feel like a fun adventure literally the whole day, but all of our pictures were flawless! Overall, me and my fiancé had such a great time exploring and taking photos with Jeff and we would recommend him to anyone who wants their special day photographed- I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

they literally can make or break your day. I will say, that I did get some beautiful pictures from my wedding day, but the stress and awkwardness that came along with Jeff was definitely not worth it. This was a surprise since his reviews were amazing and I was sure I had found a photographer that would make my wedding extra special. However, I soon found out that after I paid the 50% deposit, it was very difficult to get ahold of Jeff to plan our engagement session, and once we did it was equally difficult to get the pictures back from him. He would tell me to expect them in a couple of days and it ended up being a couple of weeks. He often told me one thing and did another, which caused a lot of frustration. If you use Jeff I would recommend having in your contract the length of time to expect the pictures both engagement and wedding (which apparently most do), which would remove this complication. The “final edited” photos I received from my wedding, I asked for 400 to be edited, instead, he sent me all 1500, which may sound like a good thing but it wasn’t. I had to then go back through and find the ones I actually wanted again, all had a generic filter that washed out some of the faces, very little attention was given and there was some that still had his assistance or cars in the background that he was supposed to edit out. Additionally, many of our group photos people faces were covering other faces and there were many that we just could not use (I mean basic photography is when you look through the lens you can see each person face…right?), he also lined my bridesmaids up unevenly on either side of me in a couple of pictures, giving the photo a lopsided effect. To be honest, looking back on the day I am not surprised by the photos I received because of the moment he showed up at my parent’s house to take the pre-wedding photos, he seems to be annoyed and would rather be anywhere but where he was. I received many comments from my bridesmaids that day, wondering what his deal was, again which is very surprising considering all his previous reviews. I would suggest if you choose Jeff, you have some cute pictures ideas ready to go because it was pulling teeth to get him to come up with ideas, and thankfully I had some vocal friends who helped in this area. I would also recommend you have a list of specific photos you want to have and have someone checking it off because the day gets very hectic and even though you think you are getting a million pictures you will miss some important ones, like one of just me and my mom. I also asked him to take photos of me by myself, I mean I’m the bride and only dressing up like this once in my lifetime and he told me that he got the shot and we did not need anymore. He was right; we got ONE shot with me looking down and away from the camera, that was it. I was very disappointed with Jeff both personally and professionally, and if you were lucky and had a great experience with him I am very happy for you, however, for me, that was not the case and I will never recommend his services to anyone. However, the lady who he brought as his second photographer was wonderful and she took some of my favorite pictures of the day, and I truly appreciate all her input and suggestions she gave! I hope this review is helpful.

is. He works so quickly and confidently, and it's never a chore or, even during the staged family shots. Many of our friends say they didn't even notice we had a Wedding photographer, and yet he captured all of them in wonderful, natural pictures. After watching so many friends struggle with demanding photographers who 'take over' the event, it was so wonderful to work with someone who has such a confident, laid back style. He is truly fantastic and was the best to work with, highly recommend.

winter time. When I approached Jeff with the idea he was so excited and immediately said he loved to do it!! We worked together over the next few weeks to find a good spot. We ended up identifying a location that would require us to use snowshoes to access. Again, Jeff was all for it and seemed excited at the opportunity! A huge storm passed through the area in the days leading up to the engagement and left a ton of fresh snow on the ground. Jeff took it upon himself to snowshoe through 3-4' of snow to make a trail for my fiancé and I up to our location. When the snow got too deep to continue, he made a perfect spot for the engagement and marked it with some sticks so I'd know where to stand while still allowing for great pictures! Once the surprise was done and he came out of hiding, he produced a bottle of champagne for my fiancé and sparkling apple cider for me, (he knew I didn't drink alcohol). Are you kidding me?!! He literally thought of everything! We spent the next hour or so taking additional pictures in the snow. Jeff put us both at ease and has such a good eye for what will look amazing. We are blown away by how beautiful the pictures turned out. Not to mention that we got the edited versions back from him the same night! I would recommend Jeff for anyone at anytime for any event without question!

now capturing the special moment. I found out the extravagant plans after that Jeff actually created a trail in the snow a mile up Picnic Rock in Tahoe. I can’t thank him enough for helping make that day perfect for me! Can’t wait to have him at the wedding!

capture beautiful pictures in the snow, with low temperatures and a lot of wind. Being in a long distance military relationship, we don’t have very many pictures together. I was very appreciative that Jeff not only gave us pictures we can love forever, but truly captured how our personalities mesh together and the genuine happiness.

ssed with his style, creativity and professional demeanor and behavior. From the very beginning, when we met in person to review his work and packages, to now - when we are going through and selecting images for our wedding albums, Jeff has been excellent. Scheduling meetings has been super easy, and frankly the photographs he takes are in a class by themselves. We spent 4 hours together during our engagement session, and ended up having 2 wardrobe changes and 6 different locations; there were curveballs that day but he handled everything perfectly and delivered some truly beautiful shots. At the wedding, he showed up early and stayed late - and brought along not one but TWO additional photographers to help. I am still going through the pictures and it is SO HARD to pick album shots, because there literally are hundreds of amazing pictures, not to mention we got our photos in 1 WEEK! Cannot recommend more highly!

iative, and how he really captured the things that meant the most to us, which was so impressive considering how little time we had actually spent together until then. The preview slideshow is one of my favorite parts- being able to sit back and watch the wedding story unfold is very powerful and his work on the slideshow allows us to relive our wedding weekend on Catalina Island again and again. After getting the full album of pictures, turns out we were equally impressed with every single picture in the whole album! Every picture is worth framing and we have no idea how we’re going to choose. This is a terrific problem to have! Jeff has an incredible attention to detail and is one of the hardest working people we have ever met. He is a true professional and every step of the way he was communicative, easygoing, and frankly, exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. We had a wedding weekend celebration on Catalina Island and Jeff really captured our story well. While in the garden showing some family and friends around (mind you, no announcement was made that we were heading there), I turned around and there was Jeff, capturing it all. Jeff was also up until 1am taking pictures Friday night and somehow also has pictures of the sunrise the following morning, our wedding day (which we certainly weren’t up for!). He has pictures of my nephew swimming in the ocean for the first time, and a friend doing a backflip off the float… his dedication to capturing the wedding story of his clients goes beyond just the wedding itself, but extends to the emotion and story of real moments that happen throughout the whole experience. He got pictures of things we didn’t even know he was there for. While Jeff’s pictures speak for themselves, what is equally remarkable is Jeff’s professionalism, adaptability, incredible work ethic, friendliness, and fun demeanor. He so easily fit into whatever was going on and was all a pleasure to be around! Aside from getting married and choosing for it to be on Catalina Island, where my husband and I met, Jeff was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. While there is much to stress about during the whole process and especially on the day, having Jeff as our photographer was one thing we never thought twice about. His pictures are authentic (never forced or too posed) and he really knows what he’s doing. We will be forever grateful for his talent. Along with having amazing memories captured through his lens, we really had a great time with Jeff and are so happy to have spent the whole weekend with him. We would hire him again in a heartbeat a thousand times over! We can’t thank Jeff enough for capturing what he did and for giving us the gift of pictures we will treasure forever!! We are so happy to have also made a new friend in the process.

From the moment we met for our gorgeous engagement shoot he made us feel relaxed and taught us everything we needed to know about standing for a faultless shot. We felt that Jeff really made the effort to get to know us and ensured that the photos of our wedding reflected our personalities which offered a really nice personal touch. There was nothing else that we needed to do from that point on. He took control of all the beautiful shots and created masterpieces. His techniques wasn’t just about taking as many photos as possible but he treats each click as an art piece; he’s photography style really proved that he needs to get the perfect shot with each stance. On the day of the wedding, his ability to come through without us breaking a sweat was incredible. His professionalism, punctuality and clear creativity was everything we needed on that day. If I had to choose one photography quality that Jeff embraces is his work with natural lighting; which makes you believe he sees the world differently. Once you see the shots he has produced, you understand the art so clearly. Everything was perfect and nearly 1,000 shots (wedding alone) of pure gold that will treasure forever. We can’t thank Jeff enough and highly recommend him!
