Hey hey, I'm so excited you found me! Just a little about me so you might better know the person who's created the images you've hopefully been enjoying! I've been a photographer for the past fifteen years, having started out taking photographs while traveling the world rock-climbing and bouldering. A husband and father of two young kids, now my utmost passion is documenting the energy, love, and excitement that is just seeping out of wedding day! I love capturing the beauty and authenticity in those "in between moments". I look forward to hearing from you. Be well and take care!

Jeff provided the best engagement pictures! They seriously turned out way better than we could have imagined. He was super accommodating to us, letting us use two locations for our session in Columbia, sc at the riverwalk and the horseshoe on campus. He even allowed our dog to get in a few pictures and was super patient with her. When we showed up for pictures and saw that part of the river walk was under some construction I was nervous about how that would look in pictures, but with Jeff’s editing it looks like the most perfect background. He had such a unique vision for some of the pictures that I would have never even thought to consider but they turned out incredible. My fiancée and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera but Jeff really encouraged us to just be ourselves and those are some of my favorite pictures. THANK YOU Jeff for such an awesome experience. I can’t wait to share the pictures with everyone

Jeff did our engagement photos this past Sunday and I cannot give him enough praise!!. My fiancé and I were engaged back in September and life be lifin lol so we just got around to getting our photos done mainly because we need them for save the dates and invites and such. We had to reschedule due to a big family health issue that I needed to fly back to MD for. Jeff was very understanding and quick to help us find a new date that worked. The date happened to be right after I flew back from MD. I had a really tough emotional and exhausting week and was really concerned that I would hate all my photos just because I was bloated, tired, and just not feeling my best. Jeff did his thing and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and knew just how to help us pose and where to catch the right light to get the most amazing photos. I was worried I wouldn't be able find one that I liked and boy was I wrong. Jeff KILLED it! My fiance and I (who typically hate all photos of ourselves) are struggling to narrow them down under 20! We love them so much! Not only did he give us upwards of 100 edited photos, but he gave them all to us within 4 days! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and book Jeff! You wont regret it!

Jeff was fantastic. He is so intuitive in what he does and delivers (super quickly!) incredible work. My husband and I had a wonderful time working with him and would recommend him to anyone for their wedding. Jeff is very responsive, flexible and talented. 10/10!

My husband and I are so thankful to have found Jeff for our wedding! He was such an amazing photographer and person. We were able to get an engagement photo session along with our wedding package and we are so happy with our photos. He was not afraid to get in on the action and we got many compliments from our guests about how nice and professional he was. I know for sure that my husband and I will be contacting him again in the future for other types of photos that way we can continue working with him! Thank you so much Jeff!!

Jeff was fantastic to work with. He was punctual and professional and also just easy to be around. Both the formal portraits and candids are just bursting with color and life. We couldn't be happier with our photos, and I typically hate being photographed! He did a wonderful job capturing us, family & friends (including small kids!), and the venue. I would highly recommend him!
