Jeff is a phenomenal photographer and he is so down to earth and fun to work with! We love his documentary style photography and our photos turned out beautifully! We cannot recommend Jeff highly enough!
We found Jeff through our venue and we are so happy we did! Jeff was so great to work with and he took the time to get to know us and that definitely reflected on the day of our wedding. Jeff was great and got tons of beautiful photos of our special day and also got them back to us within 5 days!!! I definitely 100% recommend him!
We knew Jeff would be the perfect photographer for our wedding at our first meeting with him. He truly took the time to get to know us as a couple so that our authentic love was captured in the pictures he took of us. Jeff was easy to get a hold of and was very professional. The day of our wedding, he was prepared and even brought an assistant with him. What we loved about Jeff's style of photography was that he captured the candid moments and wasn't all about the posed shots. He did not disappoint with our wedding pictures! He captured the smiles, laughs, tears, and everything else. We can't wait to print out our pictures and are so lucky to have them for years to come. We highly recommend Jeff as your wedding photographer!
Jeff Lungstrom did an excellent job capturing our wedding (and my cousin's wedding) during the 2018 summer in Delaware! He was one of the friendliest and easiest to talk to of all the people involved in our wedding. He is very organized, efficient, and punctual while still being laid back. He has a special talent of putting everyone around him at ease. He arrived early and stayed late so that he could get pictures of everything that was happening . He had lots of great ideas for shots of us as a couple and thought of ways to get us to relax so he could take less posed shots. He did a great job taking many candid shots of guests throughout the wedding and documented the emotions of the day. He did a wonderful job of capturing my cousins epic dance moves which is probably not easy to do haha! Jeff was wonderful to work with and my whole family was impressed with his work for both of our weddings. I will definitely be recommend him! Thank you Jeff!
From the beginning we hit it off with Jeff. He's personable, funny and we felt comfortable with him. He also took pictures for a friend's wedding and they said they loved his work. I was a little worried this wasn't his full time job at first, but when my friends told me they liked him better than the other 'professional' photographer they hired we were sold. From the start, I felt comforted with the attention to detail. We went over all the family shots we wanted and told him all the family dynamics, which he worked around very well. The day of the wedding he showed up right on time, maybe even early, which is probably one of the more important things to ease your mind the day of. He was immediately watching and paying attention to my girls, my family and I getting ready in the bridal suite. He took some suggestions I had about pictures I wanted as well which I appreciated. Throughout the night he was everywhere, in all the most important spots and capturing the best moments. I can attest to that because my Dad was taking his own pictures and Jeff photobombed every shot. He captured the emotion from all my family members and us which was important to me. He took wonderful shots of us on the beach and gave us some direction which was helpful because we don't get photographed a lot. He stayed longer than he was supposed to to catch the whole reception beginning to end. When we got our pictures, we were even happier than we could have imagined. They were all beautiful and like I said, captured the most important, emotion filled parts of the day. I would recommend Jeff to anyone I know.
Jeff went above and beyond our expectations as our wedding photographer! We live in Delaware, so we were slightly hesitant to work with a photographer who we'd never met in person, but after having some conversations with Jeff over the phone, we were sold. He was extremely thorough in finding out what kind of vision we wanted, and was very patient to get all of the specific shots we wanted on our day. In the 90 degree heat, Jeff was able to not only capture our photos without anyone looking hot/sweaty, but was somehow able to corral ~70 family members for various group shots, and got everyone to cocktail hour on time!
Aside from the day of going without a single glitch, the photos turned out AMAZING! It is impossible to choose a favorite- there are so many gems from our more formal photos, to the actions shots on the dance floor. He made everyone feel so comfortable during the photos, making jokes and having a great time.
Viewing the photos on his site after the wedding is so simple and easy to share! We’ve loved being able to show everyone the photos without too much effort!
We would work with Jeff again in a heartbeat, and you will thank yourself for working with him!!
Jeff is an absolute joy to work with, as I'm sure anybody who has worked with him would tell you. He shot both our engagement pictures last May and our wedding this June, and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't be happier with the quality of Jeff's work. He is also just the friendliest person we worked with - he had everyone at ease, and made me and my husband feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. He rolled with the challenges of our very large family, and had everyone laughing and smiling during photos. We have had so many people come up to us since the wedding to say how much they enjoyed Jeff and how fun he was to have around. If you are hesitating - don't! Jeff is worth every penny.
Jeff Lundstrom is amazing. He captured our wedding day perfectly and was so easy to work with. His relaxed and easy-going personality made everyone feel very comfortable. At the end of the night my mom described it perfectly when she said, “it was like he was everywhere and nowhere at the same time”. He was always around somewhere taking pictures of details, guests, important moments, but never in a distracting way. He clearly loves what he does and it shows in his work. We first contacted him because his candid, not overly edited photography style caught our eye, and after seeing our own wedding photos we are so happy with the mix of photos Jeff captured. We would recommend him to anyone, and if any one of my sisters gets married I will definitely be checking if he’s free to do the photography! Thanks Jeff!
While I wish I had been more on my game about getting this review done, I'm so glad I waited until the full Jeff Lundstrom experience was complete so that I could comment on everything!
I picked Jeff because I was looking for someone who could capture real emotion from my socially awkward self and husband, remain unfazed by family members of all ages, and take advantage of the beautiful outdoor spaces at our venue, Rocky Neck State Park. He had never shot there before, but was excited after seeing pictures online and took the time to come view it when we had our walkthrough.
On the day of the wedding, I realized just before getting ready shots were set to begin that my shoes were back in New Haven. As one of my BILs sped off to retrieve them, Jeff worked with me to determine get the most out of our time while accounting for the shift of plans--this included driving two of my sisters, who were now without a ride, to the venue. Talk about flexibility! Once there, he coordinated a very sweet first look, then quickly got through the extensive family portrait list as our guests arrived. Our bride and groom portraits after the ceremony were a fun and relaxing time on the beach, and his ideas got us out of our shells. He was everywhere during dinner and dancing, capturing priceless moments and, at one point, complementing our playlist.
We received our photos just shy of a month after the wedding, and his website setup made it easy to share them with our family and friends even though we were in the middle of moving and barely had time to enjoy them ourselves. We haven't ordered any prints yet, so that's the one thing I can't speak to, but the system looks very user-friendly. When we received our digital copies in the mail, they were on a beautifully personalized flash drive.
I knew going in that photography was one of the most important aspects of the wedding day for me, and I'm absolutely satisfied with my decision to entrust our memories to Jeff.
Jeff was recommended by a family member who we had attended the wedding of. We liked his style and attitude at that wedding but did our due diligence and reviewed several other photographers portfolios including meeting in person (in addition to dozens of online.) Take our advice and don't waste your precious planning time looking elsewhere. His service is top notch. His portfolio stood out above many of his "peers" which are no doubt "bests" of the industry. His contracts are easy to understand and package offerings are simple, no gimmicks here folks. Book him now.
Our package we booked included "engagement" photos. We live two states away and he drove to us and spent several hours with us. He never faded. In fact, we called it a shoot because we were exhausted. Our pictures are magazine worthy. We may go into modeling.
On our wedding day he arrived super early to capture the "getting ready" and we chose a first look option so we could enjoy the party more.
Jeff will do all the classic poses, trendy shots, and whatever else you want. However, let him work his magic. He found some amazing spots we would never have thought of. While we got plenty of "posed" pictures we love, his documentary approach truly captures your event. Again, several discerning professionals were floored by his quality and attitude. Also, two women planning their own weddings in attendance expressed wishing they had hired Jeff due to his tireless work effort long into the night. He literally snapped pictures until we were pulling away from the venue. "I can't believe he's still here, I should have hired him," one guest noted.
Stop looking at other photographers now. Book Jeff and spend your energy on all the other details. Jeff was truly the least stressful part of the whole "industry" side of our wedding. He managed everything down to the second and needed absolutely ZERO reminders about anything. Jeff blends in like a family member. Book now and thank me later.
Jeff was as easy to work with as possible, extremely organized and professional. And of course his pictures were great! My maid of honor liked him so much she just hired him to photograph her wedding.
Jeff was an incredible photographer that I can highly recommend to anyone! He was really accommodating and flexible to our needs and made the day absolutely beautiful. We were thrilled to have Jeff with us on the special day!
We cannot say enough about Jeff! He is a true professional, and you can tell he loves what he does. We're not people who enjoy being photographed, so it was an odd experience for us, especially our engagement session. Jeff constantly kept the mood loose and just helped us to have fun the entire way. The same was true for our wedding last weekend. His work speaks for itself - it's beautiful. But what was most important for us was being able to work with a great and extremely talented person. It was a true pleasure! We knew from the first time we met him over two years before our wedding date, he was the photographer we wanted, and we booked him on the spot! Now we just need to find another reason to hire Jeff in the future! Thank for for capturing our celebration, Jeff, and we hope to see you again!
Jeff was the best decision I made for my wedding, other than the groom! To start, he met with my husband and I to really get a sense of what we were looking for. He made suggestions and helped us find the perfect location for our engagement shoot. We were definitely uneasy being in front of the camera but Jeff was quick with a joke or suggestion to make us relax and really enjoy ourselves.
Before the wedding, Jeff suggested he come to the venue around the time/date of the ceremony to scope out the lighting situation. He truly thought of every detail to make things perfect! The day of the wedding (while I was in a state of chaos), Jeff remembered all the details that I had asked be photographed. He coordinated with the videographer and really made things ran as seamlessly as possible. He captured the energy of the party and everyone in attendance, which was truly a feat!
Jeff is an excellent choice for your wedding or celebration. After seeing my photos, I have had multiple friends ask for my photographer and not only do I highly recommend him for the quality of his work, but the ease in working with him. He loves what he does and it truly shows!
We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff. We knew from our first meeting with him that we wanted to book him. He obviously loves doing this and it shows in his personality. His pricing was very affordable for us, and it was great to have a package that included a free engagement photo shoot and that didn't require us to spend money on albums (a friend recommended that we save money by making our own). Leading up to the wedding, he was always available by phone or email if we had questions. And most importantly, he got some amazing shots of our wedding! We opted to add a second photographer, so he found a colleague of his who was available that weekend, and between the two of them there wasn't a moment missed during the wedding. For instance, there were many times during the reception that someone would take out their phone to snap a blurry dark picture, and one of them would always pop up out of seemingly nowhere to get an obviously much better higher-quality photo of the same. We were also happy with the turn-around time for the photos. We couldn't recommend Jeff more highly!
Jeff was great to work with and very helpful. Most importantly his photos of the ceremony and reception really capture the love and energy everyone was giving off. In every shot everyone looks like they're having the time of their lives. The photos of people dancing just jitter with energy and enjoyment. Whenever we look back at our photos we're struck by how great everyone looks and what an amazing time it was. And that is thanks to Jeff shooting powerful moments the entire day.
Cannot recommend Jeff enough! Jeff was amazing to work with! We had him for our engagement photo shoot and for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day/night. He went above and beyond to accommodate us. And he's enjoyable to work with - very personable, kind, and thoughtful - it felt like it was just a friend taking our photos. He was there ALL day for our wedding to be sure he captured as much as possible (and brought a second photographer) - I'm not even sure he took a break, every time I looked up for a photo there he was!
Hiring Jeff Lundstrom as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and that is not an exaggeration. We knew from our first meeting that Jeff matched our personalities exactly. He is the perfect mix of fun and down-to-business. I would definitely recommend doing an engagement shoot with him, as I would with any photographer. Especially for Jeff, our engagement shoot gave him a great opportunity to learn our personalities, and to determine what shots and poses work best for us and our personalities. For us, he learned very quickly that we do better with spontaneous and unposed shots, and he used this knowledge very well two months later at the wedding.
During the wedding, he was professional and focused, but he could also take the jokes I was throwing at him in my nervousness. He followed the schedule that we agreed upon beforehand, but not closely enough that he couldn't adapt if the next photo opportunity wasn't ready. He was fantastic at being in the middle of everything and getting the right shots, while still being courteous to the guests and not being pushy at all. We've had numerous comments from family and friends about how great the photographer was during the wedding.
After the wedding, Jeff was spot on to the estimate he gave us for how long it would take to get the photos back.The photos he gave were fantastic. It reaffirmed what we learned about him from the engagement shoot - Jeff has a great eye for photography, framing, and getting the best angles for the best shots. We are so happy with how everything turned out, both the experience and the photos. We would definitely recommend hiring Jeff for your wedding, 100 percent.
My husband and I received our wedding photos from Jeff last week and we are still looking through, oohing and ahhing. After having an early summer engagement session with Jeff, we knew that his work was going to be great and that working with him on our wedding day would be easy - not work at all. From the first time we spoke with Jeff, we felt at ease and as though we were talking to a friend. He 'got' our style and understood what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. Most importantly, he took our wedding as seriously as we did. I never felt that Jeff or his assistant were in our way on our wedding day and I was actually surprised at some of the photos they captured because I was blissfully unaware of all of the work going on around us. Thank you, Jeff, for capturing our wedding day in a wonderful light and giving us the gift of truly priceless photographs.
Where do I begin?! Simply put, Jeff is beyond talented! From the moment of our meeting with Jeff, my husband (Matt) and I knew he was going to be right for us. Our relationship was in large part an overseas and long distance situation with a lot of travel. For our engagement shoot, Jeff wanted to creatively incorporate time and our travel situation with a place that would also offer plenty of options for different looks. We went to NYC and did a shoot in the streets, but namely inside grand central. It was absolutely breath taking. It was also the most original engagement shoot I have seen to date! We were so excited that Jeff was able to create such a picture story for us.
Leading up to the wedding day, Jeff was nothing but organized. Being a bride is frantic and hard enough. Having a flake for photographer won't help anyone!!! Jeff was the best, he even sent me forms to help me keep myself organized. It was amazing.
On the day of the wedding, Jeff was extremely punctual, and so was his wonderful assistant. She had a lot of fun with the groomsmen and allowed them to do all their goofy shots, while also making sure she got the serious ones too!
From getting ready, hair & make up, pinning the dress, pinning the flowers on everyone, etc....Jeff got it all. The best angles, the best expressions..everything! He also captured all the important things I insisted I wanted pictures of. Not that I had to mention much, because before I could think of it Jeff had basically already had it taken care of.
Every one of my guests commented on the fact that Jeff did not stop working throughout the entire ceremony. The results showed in the returned photos. There wasn't a moment that didn't get captured on our big day. (Including him getting on the floor when all the boys were dancing to SHOUT!)
Because of Jeff Lundstrom Photography, I will be able to look back on our photos and always feel how I felt that day! Every single picture is so special to me. Thank you so much, Jeff!!!
xoxo Tori & Matt
Jeff Lundstrom Photography was one of the best choices that we made in planning our wedding day. I have more beautiful photos than I could ever dream of, and they capture the day beautifully. Jeff's style is a great mix of classic, candid, and artistic. Exactly what we wanted, and we have photos to fit every need. I have to say that something that impressed me very much about Jeff was his professionalism and how comfortable I felt around him from the beginning. When my husband and I met him, we knew right away that we could be comfortable with him, and he would make the day smooth and easy. He certainly came through on that. Even when the hairdresser was running late, there was traffic on the way to the "First Look" site, etc. he had a way of making the day seem calm and easy -- It definitely made for great pictures!
I am so happy that we made the choice to use Jeff Lundstrom Photography.
My husband and I met Jeff at Starbucks for our first meeting and immediately knew he was going to be our Wedding Photographer. He is the most calm, cool, and collected individual I know and he has amazing talent! The photos from our engagement shoot are stunning and Jeff gave us the perfect balance of direction and free range. He knew what shots to look for but never pushed and always remained "in the background." On our Wedding Day he arrived early and saved the day when my 4 bridesmaids and I all needed our dresses zippered minutes before our limo arrived! He has a great sense of humor and worked really well with us. My husband's father is a photographer too and by the end of the night was thinking up ways to go into business together. He was loved by all of our wedding party and will absolutely have our trust in the future! I would highly recommend Jeff and his assistant to any bride :)
Jeff is the absolute best to work with. He is so fun and kind, our day was perfection because of his great attitude.
Jeff was great to work with leading up to and during our wedding. He definitely went above and beyond in terms of service. He drove up to Boston (2.5 hours away) to meet us for our engagement shoot and walked about 4 miles with us around the city snapping pictures. Jeff also stayed in good touch with us leading up to the wedding. He met with me a few weeks before the big day to go over details and timeline. It seemed like Jeff really cared about getting the shots that we wanted and listened to our feedback. He also scouted out the venues prior to wedding and arrived early on the wedding day to make sure everything went smooth. Additionally, Jeff is really nice. I've been to weddings where the photographer is really pushy and Jeff is the opposite. My bridesmaids all commented on how personable he is. Finally, we were very happy with our pictures!
Jeff was our photographer for our engagement and wedding. He was wonderful to work with and be around, and it made for a fun couple of engagement sessions that we had with him. Jeff was almost like a second wedding planner; he really helped bring the day together. The morning of our wedding was a bit hectic with me worrying over everything I planned for to go right. When I saw Jeff get to my house that morning, all of my worries went away. He was early, organized and prepared, which made me feel at ease. Unlike most photographers, Jeff will not rush you or set a number on how many pictures you'll receive. He does what he needs to do to capture every special moment of your day, and for that I consider him to be an excellent photographer and the best vendor at my wedding. The photographs were magazine quality and were delivered quickly. Jeff is highly recommended! Carol & Jarrett
Jeff was beyond wonderful to work with! From the initial meeting to the wedding day, he brought so much laughter and warmth to our whole wedding experience. He was truly such a joy to be around.
I couldn't be more thrilled with our photographs. The engagement shoot was a blast. It was actually raining that day and you'd never know by looking at our photos! I personally am very camera shy and I can't express enough how comfortable he can make you feel if you have the same problem! He made it so much fun I forgot all about my nerves!
I honestly couldn't imagine the wedding day without Jeff there! He was such a pleasure to have with us and I got so many compliments on what a wonderful person he was and how funny and how nice he was! It really was like having a member of the family taking our pictures.
I really could go on and on about how great of a person and a photographer he is! You will not be disappointed with Jeff as your photographer. He truly is one of a kind!
You couldn't ask for better photographer. Having Jeff at our wedding was the best investment we ever made! We were so determined to work with Jeff that when we decided to change from a local wedding to a destination wedding, we ensured that he came with us. You get so much more than "your money's worth". You get a talented and creative photographer who is able to tell the story of your special day in the most fantastic detail, as well as a friend. Jeff was a part of our wedding (all 6 days of it! - engagement shoot, 4 days in Jamaica, and a local backyard reception), blending in amongst the guests and capturing the true essence of every moment. Every time we open our album, my husband and I get emotional as every photo portrays a moment, an emotion, and a detail that we never want to forget! We know for certain that Jeff will continue to be part of our lives helping us capture special events in the future.
