Jeff is an artist who takes breathtaking, unique shots. If you go with him, you will not end up with your typical wedding factory shots. His pictures have vision and life. Overall, I'm especially impressed with his couple's portraits and candid... shots. He did our engagement and wedding photography, and I am still blown away every time I look at our portraits! We had no idea what they would look like as some of the settings and poses felt random, but they ended up seriously amazing. And he has a true gift for capturing candids--he got some of the best photos, including one of our dog that is one of the best photos I've ever seen!
In terms of choosing a wedding photographer, I think the most important thing is to find someone you feel comfortable with. I felt very comfortable with Jeff from our first conversations and knew he would know just how to capture our relationship. That being said, I also knew that he wasn't the fastest at responding, so my expectations were set. I think a lot of the negative reviews are from people who don't understand that Jeff is an artist who does his best to get back to you but sometimes may take longer than other wedding professionals who are more focused on the organizational side.
That being said, I am so happy with our photos. And, Jeff is the nicest, most easygoing guy! I think any couple would be lucky to have him capture their wedding!
