I used Jeffrey Studio because he was recommended by a family friend. When first meeting with Alan, we informed him that we only wanted a high resolution DVD with the photos - not their standard proofs + low res DVD. They were more than willin...g to do this for us. I wanted to have the rights to my photos in high resolution, so I can do what I want with them in the future. This is the only option I chose, and they were not pushy in regards to purchasing albums etc.
Prior to the wedding, when I had questions, I called the office and they were very quick to get back to us. We live out of state and they were extremely flexible with when they met with us on short notice.
Day of the wedding Alan was exactly on time, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is very personable, and took all the photos I requested. He was creative in how he used props from our home in the pictures. We were initially intending on taking most of our pictures in the beautiful backyard of my home, however it was pouring rain. Alan found a perfect area in the dining room for many of the posed family pictures. When I told him that I wanted to go outside in the pouring rain for pictures next to my favorite trees, the gazebo and other areas, his response was "I'll go anywhere you go". With a couple of umbrellas, we ran throughout the backyard and Alan took what turned out to be the most beautiful photos of the day. He was quick and efficient, and only took a couple of frames in each location to speed things up while in the unpleasant weather. He was keeping track of time all day, and when things came up, he was very flexible. During the reception, I again wanted photos outside (it was still raining) - again we took photos outside, he was very quick and took photos in all of the areas we requested. Otherwise, during the reception it was like Alan wasn't even there, but was everywhere at the same time. I barely realized he was there, but when we got the photos back I realized he had gotten shots of us that I didn't even know he was around for (for example, I had put my hands on my pregnant friend's belly, and he got a fantastic picture of it without me knowing he caught the moment).
Our DVD of pictures was ready less than two weeks after the wedding. (The photos have only been edited in terms of having effects, and we pick which photos we want actually edited - they state they will do all of them if we wish)
I honestly cannot come up with one thing that I would change about my experience with Jeffrey Studio. They are absolutely wonderful to work with. I would recommend Alan to anyone!
I couldn't be happier with my experience the entire day.
