Jeff has been great and flexible. We were rained on the day of the wedding and had to push the wedding back to later that night and were unable to do a full shoot due to lack of li...
ghting but he offered to meet up with us at a later time to take some nice pictures. He made the engagement shoot super fun and overall made us feel comfortable in front of the camera as we were both a bit nervous and awkward. We just appreciate everything, his GIF photo booth was such a hit as well.
If you're thinking about booking KolorPHX, just stop thinking and go for it. Jeff photographed our engagement session in AZ and then traveled to our destination wedding in the moun...
tains of CO to photograph our big day. Jeff was genuinely great to spend time with, which was a major plus (you end up spending a lot of quality time with your photographer at your wedding). Besides being a great hang buddy, his work is simply outstanding. We were floored at how he and his second shooter captured significant moments in such an incredibly beautiful way. He simply just knows what's up and is confident in what he's doing.
Here are a couple of things we didn't expect to appreciate but found Jeff to be exceptional:
- Perfecting the wedding day timeline: Jeff worked with me (bride) on our timeline, providing insight into things I hadn't considered and was able to fit in all the important details I wanted to include seamlessly and manage to get all the killer shots we wanted.
- Kept the photography sessions SO fun
- Navigating tricky family members and their photography requests with tact
- Basically, he's just a wedding pro: he knows what he's doing, seriously.
To sum it up, we're obsessed with our wedding photos. KolorPHX was the single best investment of our entire wedding budget. We felt he took our investment seriously and delivered a product that was above and beyond. Thank you Jeff! You're the best!

Jeff was truly our dream photographer. A couple things about Jeff that we LOVED: hilarious, comforting, kind, generous, and a total CONFIDENCE BOOSTER. We were first drawn to Jeff...
through instagram and his warm, romantic photography. He is so creative and adventurous in his photography and we really realized that during our engagement shoot with him up in the Mogollon Rim in Payson. We were stoked when we received our engagement photos. We have never gotten so many compliments! Then, fast forward to our wedding day. Jeff and his assistant were absolutely seamless at what they did. They were efficient, quick, and it was absolutely effortless for myself, husband, bridal party and family. The beauty in this however is how many AMAZING shots they get while also being so efficient that you still get to enjoy your moments and memories of your wedding night. I am not exaggerating when I say I feel like we got hands down the best photographer in the world for the best day of our lives. We will be recommending him to EVERYBODY that needs bridal photography done in the future, and we recommend him to YOU reading this.
We love you Jeff!!!!

. Our pictures are unique and special and Jeff was able to capture all the moments we hoped for. I can’t wait for our photo album and will cherish these photos. (Also special thank you to Mindy too!)
Jeff did our engagement photos and we just can’t wait for our wedding! Each meeting has been a fun experience and he has been very easy to work with. He is incredibly gifted at wha...
t he does, yet he listens to your ideas and what you want to do. We had a blast our engagement shoot and I know he will help make our wedding day a success. I whitnessed his work at my roommates wedding and I was so impressed by his ability to calm a situation and resolve wedding day tensions. The pictures turned out amazing with everyone’s natural smiles. Our energy pictures are something we will cherish forever. Highly recommend Jeff.

Jeff and his staff was so great to work with! Jeff is so easy to work with and his direction and confidence is so helpful. His vision and style are second to none. You will not be ...
disappointed.
I stumbled upon Jeff through an Istagram hashtag. After stalking his portfolio(which is exquisite), I immediatley knew I wanted him to shoot my wedding. After meeting with him, my ...
now husband and I, were even more confident in our decision. Jeff is personable, honest, direct, and has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style. His professionalism is unlike any other--prompt with responses, he is super creative and thinks outside the box.
Prior to our engagement session, he sent me a "style guide" (literally 100 pages) that went over EVERYTHING from hair to makeup to wardrobe, basically how to prepare, which was an absolute lifesaver!
Fast forward to our wedding day. We literally felt like we were shooting a spread for Vouge--trust him with EVERYTHING! He can transform the most ordinary/everyday backdrops into the most stunning, jaw-dropping statement photographs you have ever seen!
Thank You Jeff for capturing the most intimate details of our wedding, we are forever grateful for you!
Jeff was amazing to work with! My fiancé and I are so happy with the pictures! Jeff did a great job at capturing those special candid moments.
Jeff delivered an amazing experience for my husband and I. He shot our engagement and wedding day and I can honestly say he was easy to trust and feel confident in. Our engagement ...
pictures turned out amazing, and our wedding pictures are going to be just as good. Jeff brings an upbeat personality to the couples and makes every picture an unforgettable experience.
Jeff was great about meeting up with us, going over our options, and making us comfortable. We had such a blast with him during our engagement shoot and during the day of our weddi...
ng. He ensured that everything went so smoothly, from 'getting ready' photos, to family pictures, to first look. He even chased away a turkey that wanted in on the action! And the photos, oh my goodness!! They were absolutely beautiful. My husband and I are NOT picture takers, and tend to be uncomfortable when attention is on us. He made us feel so relaxed and natural, and that shines through in our photos. He captured us perfectly. Also, rather than a bunch of photos that all look the same, they were all so different and captured something new with every shot. Sooo pleased with Jeff and KolorPHX!
Jeff was so much fun to work with. We really felt like he became our friend over the 13 month time we worked with him. He was so easy-going throughout the process. Jeff made me fee...
l so comfortable on our wedding day and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our photos are gorgeous and prices were very fair. We were actually sad that we wouldn't be working with him anymore after the wedding was over! Also, he got us our photos back really fast!
Jeff was AMAZING!!! He was awesome to work with and his pictures of my husband and I are phenomenal!! It was our best decision to hire Jeff! He and his second shooter have a great ...

ite camera shy. The process was great from our first meeting through the final product. Jeff is a genuinely good person with integrity.
His entire crew exceeded our expectations by a mile. Not only did they take away the stress from one of the most hectic days, but they were simply amazing to work with. The photos are beautiful and everyone who looks at them agrees we had an amazing photographer. They beautifully and artistically captured not only the joyous event, but really captured the feelings and emotions in every shot. Absolutely awesome!! I am certain the video will be as amazing if not more. We will actually miss them!
Jeff is amazing!! His personality made me feel so relaxed on my big day. My husband and I found him at the bridal show and fell in love with his work. Come to find out his family a...

Jeff was so wonderful! We found Jeff and immediately fell in love with him! His work is amazing and he was very professional and our guests had a blast with him! All we heard after...
the wedding was "where did you find that photographer!!?" His knowledge and expertise definitely separate him from the other photographers we met. He is so much fun to be around and made out engagement and wedding day exactly what we wanted! Right when we thought it couldn't get any better, Jeff delivered our wedding album and our prints and all I have to say is WOOOOW!! The wedding album is a must and everything was packaged so nicely! Thanks Jeff and Kolorphx!
