Jeff is extremely professional and talented. He will get quality photos of you for any event and offers great pricing for weddings/engagement photos. He did a great job capturing special moments of our wedding that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
USE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER!!!! Hands down the best experience we had with any vendor. He was perfect. Professional and friendly. The pictures turned out amazing. Plus he gave us a schedule to help make sure things were on track which was super helpful. I am thrilled!!!!
Very professional. Jeff and his assistant went above and beyond our expectations.
Any questions?
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Jeff! From engagement photos to the wedding day, he was always quick to respond, made us feel at ease, and was a joy to be around. As someone who is a little awkward in front of the camera, I really could not have asked for a better person to be a part of our special day. The quality of the photos are amazing, as are the final albums. I would recommend Jeff time and time again.
The most beautiful photos with the fastest turn around time!
Jeff was fantastic to work with! One of the things we loved about his photography was how he told a story throughout the day. He captured every moment including pictures of reactions, family members, friends, etc. We loved seeing the videos and we loved getting the pictures back within two weeks. They were fantastic and so happy we chose Jeff!!
Jeff did an absolutely amazing job with my husband and I engagement and wedding pictures. If you want pictures that are going to be timeless and still beautiful 20 years later Jeff is your guy. During the wedding he helped keep us on a timeline and made sure to get every single picture that was important to us with the perfect mix of portraits and candid.
Jeff did an amazing job with our engagement shoot and wedding day. He was very professional, organized, and communicated clearly. His prices were very reasonable and he work well with our other vendors. We are so happy with the way the pictures turned out and we got them back in less than a week. Everyone looks so comfortable and relaxed in photos (which can be hard to achieve) and there are some amazing candid photos. Jeff was amazing to work with and definitely made us feel at ease. Highly recommend!
Wow! Five days after my wedding I am looking at the most stunning photos Jeff took and I cannot recommend Jeff Schaefer Photography enough! Jeff was easy to work with, quick to communicate, efficient in the planning process with great tools to make the daunting task of creating "the list"so easy and most importantly, his photos are fantastic! 10/10 would recommend Jeff and Becky as you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and the incredible job you both did!
Response from the Vendor on 06/29/2023
Thanks Elizabeth!
Jeff did a wonderful job capturing our day! He was super easy to communicate with and very efficient and timely throughout the day. I would recommend him to anyone!
Jeff does amazing work! He responds quickly to all communication and is very organized. He comes up with a detailed time line to make sure you have time to get all of the beautiful shots that you want. He has you fill out a checklist of all the photos you want and brings it the day of to make sure he doesn't miss anything. We received our pictures back in a week and he sent us a USB drive with all 900 photos on it for us to print what we want. You can't go wrong with Jeff!
I can’t even start to explain how great Jeff is! His photos are amazing and he is incredibly professional and easy to work with. He thought of everything that I didn’t and put in so much work even before the wedding (timelines, portrait lists…) We loved our engagement photos so much that we used one for our wedding invite! So needless to say we enjoyed our wedding photos even more! (Returned in less than a week!) Guests kept mentioning how awesome our photographer was and loved the “sneak peek” slideshow after dinner! My sister will be getting married soon and plans on hiring Jeff as well after seeing what a great experience we had with him.
What more can I say that hasn’t been said already? He’s AWESOME! If you want the best pictures and memories of your wedding go with Jeff! He’s a photography guru.
He’s the most organized man I’ve ever met. No detail or picture slipped through the cracks. He went out of his way multiple times to get us the pictures of our dreams! Thanks, Jeff!
Jeff was wonderful to work with. He captured our event perfectly and was very professional. He was very responsive in communication and was very detailed in planning for all of our shoots. He is highly knowledgeable about the Dayton area and was well prepared. We would strongly recommend Jeff if you are looking for a reasonably priced, reliable, and fun photographer for your event.
Super professional, tor my pics back in about 4 days. Everything was stunning, he has a great attention to detail. Very professional quality
To say Jeff was amazing is an understatement. I had a vision for how I wanted to pictures and even though he recommended against my idea he still let me have the photos I wanted. In addition he worked with everyone the day of the wedding making sure we were together and no one was missing. We had ALOT of people to get together. He was always moving about and getting in whatever position needed to get the perfect shot. Jeff worked with me on everything and I could not be happier with my wedding photos.
Jeff was a god sent for our wedding! As a seasoned wedding photographer he has all the insider knowledge. He worked with us and provided us with a timeline that we used with all our vendors. The pictures he took were absolutely gorgeous! Both he and his assistant were extremely helpful in directing our large wedding party as well as moving things/people around so they could get the perfect shot. Loved working with Jeff and in love with our pictures.
Jeff was the most patient, kind, easy to work with, directive (in a good way), and stealthiest photo-ninja we've ever had the pleasure to work with. TL; DR - he's worth it.
We knew he was the photographer for us after experiencing a lackluster/uncomfortable call with another photographer before speaking with him. From the first phone call we had, he already had a plan in mind of how our wedding timeline could flow from the engagement shoot to the wedding itself. He gave us confidence and assurance that we were in good hands from start to finish- and we really were. If you can't feel comfortable with your photographer, then why go with them?
We opted to proceed in having our engagement photos taken by Jeff back in May at a park in Fairfield. While we weren't personally familiar with the location, Jeff already knew the best spots to work out capturing our special moments. He worked quickly to get as many pictures for us under the threat of rain. You would think the rushed photoshoot would lead to less-likeable shots, but that wasn't the case at all with Jeff's work. Every shot was beautiful and still brings a smile to our faces.
On the day of the wedding, we had our First Look photos taken at the George Rogers Clark Park first and Jeff truly shined with his artistic directions here. It was a last minute change in location due to a miscommunication on our part, but Jeff worked with us to make sure the shots we wanted (and more) were achieved. We had so many great photos taken of us and our wedding party. (Sorry my veil caused so many issues though! ;) )
Totally unrelated moment: During the short travel back to the venue, Jeff and the groom encountered a driver who was experiencing a really bad car issue (ie. pouring oil) on the road. Anyone else would have probably just driven around and ignored the situation. Instead, Jeff made sure the driver pulled over safely and notified her of the serious issue her car was experiencing. You sir are truly a gem.
In the chaos of families that shared the same surnames (Kims and Foxs), he managed to wrangle our guests to capture the shots we requested in the ceremony space. He captured the tender moments of our wedding and the exasperated moments of the groom trying to force the sand down into the unity container after the ceremony. He even helped us capture a special photo that was in reference to an inside joke between us and our groomsman, and improved it with his directions. We will always cherish this photo.
We received a notification a few days after the wedding that our flashdrive of photos were being shipped out as of Tuesday. Wednesday, we got a notification that all our photos were ready for viewing ONLINE. Jeff's turnaround time is ridiculous and superhuman.
This is probably an incredibly wordy review, but I hope whoever takes the time to read this understands how amazing Jeff was as our photographer. We truly appreciate him working with us and definitely recommend him for anyone on the fence. Thank you so much, Jeff!
Got all of our shots, kept everyone comfortable with speedy photos (great in the heat) and was super flexible when we had to reschedule due to COVID.
Jeff was so easy to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos! His professionalism in the planning process leading up to our wedding helped make the day go smoothly. We were very impressed with how many photos we got (1100+) and how great they turned out. Our wedding album also turned out so good and we can't wait to display in our home and share with friends and family! Thanks again Jeff!
Jeff was truly amazing to work with! Living out of town he was great with communication and we fully trusted his expertise during the planning process. Our family and friends loved having him around at our rehearsal dinner and he always seemed to be around to capture impromptu moments. He captured everything we could have wanted and more at that event.
The next day, our wedding, he did exactly the same! He knew our venue well and made us feel at ease while taking our portraits. We had so much fun with him and his staff and are so happy we had him around not only for our big deal, but throughout the weekend! We would hire him again for any event in a heartbeat!
Best quality pictures ever!! He photographed my brother’s wedding as well as mine, and we both couldn’t be happier with the results. He was very flexible with our schedule and went along with the random pictures we added along the way. He even got my dad to smile for pictures as well which is a bonus!!
Organized, professional, helpful, and beautiful photos!
My husband and I could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. Jeff and his second photographer, Becky, were professional, patient, and organized. I highly recommend Jeff Schaefer Photography!
Jeff was an absolutely amazing photographer. Having some background in taking pictures, I was very particular to the style and type of photographs I wanted. Likewise, we had an idea of what photos we wanted. When we chatted initially with Jeff, he was already 5 steps ahead of us. The amount of time and detail he took to go over the packages as well as what specific pictures we wanted with which parties was astounding. We absolutely loved the opportunity to also be able to get our engagement session done with him too. Harbin Park was beautiful and has now become one of our favorite locations. The quality of Jeff’s work is wonderful - we have many of our photos from our engagement and wedding framed onto canvas’ with no pixel issues. Our photos were also delivered to us in less than a week; both with an actually hard drive and an online link. We have peace and comfort knowing that our photos will forever be maintained and had a blast sharing them with friends and family. I would HIGHLY suggest using Jeff and we hope to use him again for other big life events we have in our future!!
Jeff and his team are the best! He captured the most amazing photos for our wedding and was a calming organized presence on the big day. Along with capturing great photos, Jeff also helped everyone have a great time and kept the party on schedule. I strongly recommend working with Jeff for your wedding, these beautiful photos of our best day ever are priceless!
Jeff was a true professional. The pictures turned out better than we could have imagined!
Jeff did our engagement pictures and they came out amazing! The forecast was calling for rain during the time we had set up for our shoot and he was very flexible with time and came an hour early to get our pictures done before it started raining. He’s also very responsive to emails and had other ideas and places to go if it did end up raining on us. 10/10 would recommend!

Thanks Summer!
Jeff was the perfect photographer for us ! Extremely professional, experienced and easy to work with. I love that he kept a list of peoples names and took the lead on what photos we asked for! Would highly recommend
I can not stop looking at my wedding pictures! We are so happy with everything that Jeff and his partner were able to capture at our wedding! Jeff was very easy to work with through the whole process. There were no hidden fees, or watermarks! He responded to all of our emails and calls quickly. He even provided very detailed information for every step of the process, from tips to photo list to best places to develop our photos, everything was shared in an easy to access shared drive. He took all of our requests and really has an eye for capturing the best angle, lighting and details. Our sunset pictures are incredible! We would hire him again in a heartbeat.
Jeff & his team were incredible. So organized, professional & accommodating. Plus, the pictures were amazing!! They captured the day perfectly and we are so grateful.
Jeff is fantastic! He did our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and they all turned out great! Jeff is very honest and will tell you what will look the best for your photos. He is very responsive to questions. Jeff has a great eye for picture locations. We were going to go to a park that was mostly grass for our wedding portraits. However it had rained recently and the ground was soggy. A few days before the wedding Jeff suggested we go somewhere else for our wedding portraits so that I wouldn't get wet grass on my dress! Not only did he suggest a location change, but he had a already scouted out the area nearby and found some alternate places we could go that would give us good pictures but without the soggy ground. We chose to go to one of his alternate locations and our portraits turned out wonderfully! He was very respectful of the church's wishes regarding photography during the ceremony. Jeff worked well with our parents and siblings, so we got some great family pictures at our wedding as well. We got all the pictures we wanted and more. We couldn't be happier with Jeff!
Response from the Vendor on 08/05/2021
Thank you so much Liz! It was a pleasure working with you.
From our initial consultation to our wedding day, Jeff was incredibly professional, helpful, and exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer! He paid close attention to our questions and desires during our initial consultation. After that meeting and looking through his work, it was an easy decision to book him. And I'm so glad that we did! One of my favorite things about working with Jeff is that he gives you very clear directions about how to pose during photos. I don't take many pictures, so I was nervous about that part. However, Jeff made me feel so confident and I feel like it shows in the final photos! Also, his assistant photographer was absolutely amazing at helping us take care of those little things like a tie that's not straight and the veil in the wrong place. All of my bridesmaids commented on how easy and enjoyable it was to work with Jeff and they were so impressed at how he made the photo part of the day relaxing, but still kept us on schedule.

Thanks Kristina. I'm glad you are happy with everything!
The best thing we did for our wedding day was have Jeff there to capture every moment. His work is stunning and he was a joy to work with. We had a great experience from the beginning to end! Jeff made our day flow, was easy to work with, and truly loves his job! Jeff is very organized and a man of his word. He won’t disappoint. We had a wonderful experience and absolutely love all of the photos!
Jeff was professional and great to work with! Our pictures turned out great! He is also very quick in getting your photos back to you! We had ours back in about a week! Highly recommend!
Jeff did a fantastic job. We were very impressed with him - great planning, skill, professionalism and demeanor, and most importantly, great pictures.
Jeff is an awesome photographer, he did my wedding pictures and did an amazing job! I would recommend him to anyone who needs any kind of photography done! He was very organized, respectful, and professional. Thanks Jeff for photographing my wedding!
Jeff came highly recommended by several friends and he did not disappoint!He is very talented, creative and professional. He captured our day beautifully! We are so pleased with how our photos turned out. He helped us plan our wedding day timeline and everything went seemingly. He also kept everyone on track and on time, not a small feat! His assistant was also wonderful and very talented. We were very pleased with her as well.

Thanks Brittany!
Jeff is an incredibly talented photographer with amazing creative vision!! We relied heavily on his knowledge and experience in the industry to shape our wedding day! He created our schedule for us and was patient when we ran behind (like all weddings do), he made sure that we still got all of the different portrait photos and everything we wanted photographed! He was kind, personable, patient, easy to talk to, and extremely organized! Posing for portraits at weddings usually start to feel a little mundane after a while, but Jeff kept us all laughing and smiling through all of it. There’s no one I would trust more with capturing all aspects of your special day! Jeff knows it all!
Jeff photographed my wedding this year and did an amazing job! He created a schedule for the day which was great. It allowed me to get every photo I wanted as well as be on time throughout the day. I highly recommend him for any wedding.
My wife and I hired Jeff to photograph our wedding and we could not be happier with the work he did for us. He was always very professional, responsive, and punctual. As for the actual photography aspect, there is no one who does his job better than Jeff. He and his secondary photographer did a fantastic job capturing every aspect of our big day from all of the early prep all the way to the end of the night. He ended up delivering us over a 1000 pictures that were all so good that we had trouble picking out our favorites.
We also recently picked up our wedding album and it exceeded all of our expectations. The album is extremely high quality and we are blessed to have such a great reminder of that day. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
Jeff was very punctual, organised, and friendly! He had a lot of ideas that we put to good use. He was very professional and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Jeff was great to work with! Everything was very organized. He created a detailed schedule and list of picture combinations, which helped the day run smoothly. His turnaround time was super fast, and the pictures were beautiful!
I can not recommend Jeff enough, he was the very BEST!! Jeff was super easy to work with, so nice, very professional, and his pictures were AMAZING!! We got so many compliments on our pictures and putting together our photo book was hard only because there were so many amazing shots. We were so happy with the entire process, my favorite vendor in our wedding!
Jeff and his team were amazing. Our pictures turned out beautiful, and he was super easy to work with. Scheduling our initial meeting and engagement photo shoot was very easy, and he was always on time for any of our meetings (and most importantly, our wedding!). I love our pictures. He is creative and really brings out the best in the people he is photographing. If you choose Jeff as your wedding photographer, you won't regret it!
If you want a professional photographer, choose Jeff Schaefer! We are so happy we chose Jeff as our daughter's wedding photographer. He worked so hard and fast on such a hot day! He also made everyone feel totally relaxed and have a good time. When we saw the pictures online, we were amazed how well they all turned out! We now have priceless photos of our daughter's beautiful wedding and reception. Thanks again Jeff!
Jeff was the best wedding photographer! I looked at at least 20 other photographer webites before finding Jeff. Once I saw his pictures, I knew he was the photographer for us. Jeff responded quickly to my inquiry and set up a meeting with my husband and me. After talking with him, we saw how detail oriented he is and how hard he works to capture the emotion of every moment. We knew that our day would be photographed perfectly with Jeff!
On our wedding day, he worked so hard the entire day. He arrived at 10:30 for getting ready pictures and was still there at 11pm photographing our final dance. Our guests even commented how attentive Jeff was. He did a great job making sure every photograph we wanted was taken, as well as staying organized so we stayed on schedule. I cannot wait to get my pictures back and re-live the entire day! Jeff is well worth the investment.

Thank you Stephanie!
Jeff was really great to work with. He was responsive, thorough, and patient (we had a lot of questions). He had good recommendations for photo locations and we were really, really pleased with his professionalism and the quality of his work. On the day of our wedding, Jeff was great at keeping things moving so that we stayed on schedule, which is not something I knew I needed in a photographer, but was IMMENSELY helpful on the day. I would absolutely recommend Jeff Schaefer Photography for wedding and engagement photos.
We used Jeff Schaefer Photography for our engagement and wedding photos. Jeff was very detailed and professional. He listened to exactly what we liked/disliked about wedding photography. He captured our day perfectly. Every photo was excellent!
Best photos ever! One thing you really want is amazing photos to look back at and that’s exactly what I have now. Also Jeff and his staff are amazing and helpful. You get your pictures and edits back very quick as well!
First off if you're anything like me and you're concerned about the money, DON'T BE! It is seriously so worth it. Before I was even engaged I knew I wanted Jeff as my photographer. I'm 20 years old and a full-time student so my budget was around 10k. I used the majority of my budget on photos and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Secondly, Jeff is amazing! He is highly professional and very skilled in not only photography, but weddings as a whole. He helped to figure up a timeline and he did an excellent job at sticking to it. He did a wonderful job handling my large bridal party of 18 and my young flower girl. This is something that comes with experience and it is very evident he has a lot of it.
My photos are amazing and Jeff made my wedding as smooth as possible. His assistant was also professional and super fun to work with. I highly recommend getting the second photographer if you can. If you're having any doubts, just go check out his website!
I was first interested in Jeff Schaefer Photography because of the gorgeous photos I saw on his website (seriously, go check those out) but Jeff really goes above and beyond just great photos. He's clearly passionate about wedding photography and captures everything on the big day including lots of candid moments and small details as well as all the posed portraits. Compared to other weddings I've been in with other photographers Jeff was hands down the best at giving suggestions for posing and backgrounds and getting all those group pictures done quickly and effectively. He is also so fast and organized in getting your photos back to you, we had some playing at the reception (definitely a crowd pleaser) and all of them on a zip drive waiting for us when we got back from our honeymoon!
I would highly recommend you book Jeff for your photographer! He is very professional, his work is amazing and perhaps most importantly he is so helpful and makes everyone feel very comfortable and relaxed on the best day ever! This is so important on the big day especially when some people are nervous and/or camera shy. You won't be disappointed! I am MOB two times now and wouldn't have anyone else!
For anyone looking for a photographer, I would absolutely recommend Jeff for your pictures! He did our engagement as well as wedding pictures and we could not be happier with how they turned out! They were beautiful! He also had great recommendations for locations for wedding pictures and was able to get in plenty of pictures in a short time with such a big wedding party. Jeff is very professional and organized which made taking pictures stress free! Highly recommend!
Jeff was wonderful to work with! He was polite and highly professional. Jeff was very thorough when it came to making sure he had our wedding timeline correct so he could capture every moment! To top it all off, our pictures turned out perfect. I can’t say enough positive things about Jeff. If you book with him, you will not be disappointed.
Jeff was fantastic! We love our wedding and engagement photos. He worked with us before our wedding to get on the same page on the type of photos we wanted and our timeline for the day. I really appreciated the way he communicated with our families. Some of our family members wanted to take their own photos, and he patiently let them take their photos before taking his own photos.
He captured our wedding in a timeless way. We didn't want pictures that would look out of date in a few years. Our photos are not over edited and are classic, just what we wanted!
What first caught our eye on Jeff's photos is the way he captured emotion. And he perfectly captured the emotions of our day.
We're really happy with Jeff's work and his service. He was always easy to contact and communicate with.
Jeff was an amazing photographer. Not only were the photos great, but he helped plan out the wedding day timeline and had many tips for things that I would not have thought of. His assistant photographer was also taking pictures and helped out with fixing my dress before I walked down the aisle. Jeff is very professional and knows what he is doing. He also got all of the pictures back to us super quick. We got back from the honeymoon and a flashdrive was already in our mail! I would recommend Jeff to anyone getting married!

Thanks Natalie! Working with you and Alex was a pleasure too.
Jeff
My husband and I absolutely loved our wedding pictures! They turned out flawless! Our wedding was on an extremely hot day and we did a first look before the ceremony, but Jeff made it so easy to get the perfect pictures! He was willing to work with us on every detail of the day-of timeline and added all the locations we wished to get pictures at. He stayed all day with us from getting ready, to the first look, to the ceremony and reception, and the sparkler sendoff. His assistant Becky was also amazing, helped me with my train and veil, and was constantly supporting me all day. Jeff was promptly got our edited pictures back to us within 9 days. He also made creating an amazing album so easy! Jeff did our engagement pictures as well, where he was willing to travel to our location and find multiple spots for the perfect pictures. We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos!
My husband and I knew that choosing the right wedding photographer was going to be the most important part of maintaining memories from our wedding day, and we could not have been more pleased with Jeff Schaefer. It was the combination of his experience in shooting weddings as a full-time job, couple with his experience in the photography industry, that made him a perfect choice for our wedding. And boy, did he deliver! Throughout the wedding planning process, he was very available, answering our emails as we had them, and also working with us on setting up our wedding day timeline. And on the day of the wedding, you could not have asked for a more professional person keeping the stress level low recognizing his job is one of the most important ones that day! He followed the timeline perfectly and rolled with the punches as we needed more time here and there; he captured the various combinations of photos we asked for; he worked through some intense winds to capture some incredible shots; and he stayed through the entire wedding ceremony! Not only did he turn all of our wedding pictures 4 days after our wedding, but the pictures were OUTSTANDING. I don't know how he did it, but he was able to capture our personalities, our expressions, and really highlight the fun of the day. I don't even know how I am going to create an album because they are all SPECTACULAR. What's even more impressive is, when we shared the pictures with our friends and family, they were all saying the same things! Overall, everyone was impressed with the quality (and quantity as he had 1100 pictures) of the pictures Jeff shared back with us, as well as the way he just captured our personalities and behaviors perfectly. I continue to go through the pictures on a daily basis and I don't think it will ever get old. Thank you Jeff, and I highly recommend him for any bride and groom looking to make a great decision about preserving the memories of their big day.

Thanks for the awesome review!
Jeff and his associate were so professional and efficient at my wedding. At the ceremony and reception they stayed out of they way and sneakily took photos - we and the guests barely noticed. The photo results are stunning and that's at a dark venue that Jeff hadn't shoot at before (New Riff Distilling). We have amazing portraits and candid photos. I have no idea how to pose for photos, but Jeff directed me and my husband nicely so I felt like a star. Jeff even managed to get stunning photos of my squirming cat (Best Cat at the wedding), which is a miracle in my opinion. In less than two weeks after the wedding I received the flash drive with all my photos which were around 1000 high quality images.

Thank you Stefka!!!
Jeff was really fun to work with and his assistant was so helpful when I was getting ready in the bride room and preparing to walk down the aisle. She made sure my veil and train were perfectly in place. Our photos are priceless. Thank you Jeff Schaeffer photography!

Thank you for the review Kathy!
Jeff photographed our wedding last September and did an amazing job! We were very happy with how our wedding photos turned out. We ended up with some awesome sunset photos and a great mix of candid as well as traditional photos throughout the day. Jeff was very easy to work with and very organized, which we really appreciated. He captured not only the major wedding and reception events, but also all the little wedding details including decorations. Overall, we were very happy we chose Jeff to photograph our wedding and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer.
Jeff does an amazing job! He kept us on track with our timeline and was a wonderful help with last minute changes and suggestions due to weather. Highly recommend!
Jeff had great direction and patience with getting all the right shots on the big day. Could not be happier with the photos that Jeff and his assistant took...they will last a lifetime! He kept all of us all in line, and always had a smile on his face. Jeff's temperament was just was I was looking for in a photographer. He made the whole experience complete. We are thrilled with the finished product!
Great photos! This was the one thing my husband and I splurged on towards our wedding. The photos from this day will last forever so its important that they be perfect. Jeff is an extremely talented photographer and my photos are stunning. He offers three different packages of varying prices to match your budget and also offers hardback photo books that he himself designs (of course allowing the opportunity for your input). I had no idea of the types of pictures I wanted so Jeff took charge and put all of us in poses that resulted gorgeous pictures. I had a large amount of people to get pictures of (6 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen, 3 jr bridesmaids, flower girl, ring bearer, and 3 ushers, not to mention family members....) and somehow he managed to control the situation and achieve a fantastic result. I couldn't be happier with my pictures. If I had to pick one complaint it would be I wish it had gone faster, simply because it was 90+ degrees out that day and I was sweating like crazy...but then again, you can't rush art. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking for truly beautiful and memorable pictures from their wedding. In my opinion no other photos compare to his.
Jeff was a great asset to have as part of the wedding. He was professional at all times and took the shots that we wanted and made us look great on our wedding day. I would recommend Jeff if you are looking for a quality photographer for your wedding.
Jeff Schaefer photography did an amazing job! We did their all day package so we had pictures that covered the whole day from getting ready, our first look, three different locations before the ceremony, the ceremony, and lots of reception fun!! He did a great job making the day stress free! A big part of that was because of all the pre-planning. He gave us great examples/ opinions on where we could do pictures that would be cool before the ceremony. We also had a plan B for if the weather was not cooperating. He knew all the ins and outs for example if we need a permit or if we needed to put down a deposit to take pictures in specific places. This whole process made me feel like I would have great pictures no matter what and I did!! We also had a couple of specific pictures we wanted done and he took care of everything we wanted! The pictures turned out fantastic we get tons of compliments on them all the time and now we have a great way to remember our special day!
Jeff was fantastic. Very professional, very timely. He captured the special moments from my big day just how I imagined he would. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
Both Jeff and his other photographer were wonderful. They captured a lot of great shots, including candid moments of our big day. They also worked well with the videographer so everything was in sync , and they kept things rolling without any issues. We're so glad to have so many beautiful pictures to remember our wedding.
Jeff did a fantastic job capturing our entire day. We did a lot of corresponding via email because we live in a different state than where the wedding was taking place and Jeff was very easy to work with! He was able to accommodate our crazy wedding day schedule and we didn't have to worry about a thing. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Jeff and his team captured my special day perfectly! He was easy to work with, offered reasonable packages, and was not 'in-your-face' at the wedding - my husband and I barely knew he was there! The pictures came back in a timely manner and were BEAUTIFUL!!! Jeff really has a special talent and I would recommend him to any bride looking for someone to capture their wedding day!!!
Jeff was amazing to work with. Nearly all of our friends and family members have used him as well. Every aspect of our wedding day was captured. People tell us all the time that our photos look like they should be in a magazine. We recieved our photos 14-days after our wedding. The turnaround time was impressive! Our photos were actually playing on a screen at our wedding reception. We also received a beautiful leather photo album- the quality is one of a kind. During our wedding, I almost forgot Jeff was there. Everything felt so natural- never staged. Based on our experience, I have and always will recommend Jeff Schaefer. He truly made our wedding the best day ever.
