Jeff Schaefer Photography

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!

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.

the cracks. He went out of his way multiple times to get us the pictures of our dreams! Thanks, Jeff!

s well prepared. We would strongly recommend Jeff if you are looking for a reasonably priced, reliable, and fun photographer for your event.

ng 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.

e 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.

r/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!

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!

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!

got my dad to smile for pictures as well which is a bonus!!

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!!

le. I strongly recommend working with Jeff for your wedding, these beautiful photos of our best day ever are priceless!

ng. 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!

e 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.

r 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!

fter 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.

ruly 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!
