I don’t even know where to start. I initially approached Jeff with a crazy idea to have him get pictures of my proposal without my girlfriend (at the time) knowing he was there. Keep in mind, I decided to propose in Tahoe, in the winter, on a snowshoe hike. There was a huge storm the days leading up to the proposal and Jeff hiked a mile, uphill through thigh deep snow to get these pictures!! Needless to say, they came out amazing! We hired him on the spot for the wedding. We actually chose our wedding date to accommodate his calendar.
He was great throughout the planning process and always has such a positive attitude. He makes you feel like everything is going to be amazing regardless of what is going on. Jeff made sure to hook up with us a few weeks before the wedding to tour the property. Since he hadn’t worked there before, he wanted to check out where he wanted to get certain shots. We thought this was great!! The day of the wedding he arrived early with the second shooter (Kate Stapleton) and they got to right work. They were both super professional and knew the wedding timeline. Again, one less thing for us to worry about! Jeff was great at making my wife and I comfortable during the pictures which can be tough if you’re not used to being in front of a camera. He was always smiling and joking which made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend. From helping my wife with her train to carrying her huge vail, he did it all! The venue told Jeff about a hilltop location near the venue where we might be able to get some good pictures, so we took a drive. Jeff found the spot and talked my wife into climbing down onto the edge of this cliff which overlooked a river and train tracks. To this day I don’t how he managed to get her down there, but he did. Turns out, those are some of our favorite pictures. Within a week of the wedding we had all our edited pictures back from Jeff. The quality of the pictures and editing is beyond anything we could have expected. If you are looking to book a wedding photographer, do not pass up on the opportunity to book Jeff Hall!! At the end of the day, these pictures and maybe video will be all that you have to look back on. Make them count!

Jeff is an amazing photographer. He has a great eye for shots. He is very reliable and will travel. Simply amazing!!!

To say Jeff was the perfect wedding photographer for us would not be an exaggeration. His gorgeous photos (staggering black and white ones included!) speak for themselves, but his style and presence made the day even more perfect. Jeff was so easy to work with, and provided a laid back and calming presence throughout the process. He never failed to capture the perfect candid, either! The icing on the cake was that my husband loved chatting with him, too!

Jeff was amazing. He came multiple times to check out the site, worked with my family like a dream, teased out pictures from our niece and nephew (who understandably were not so interested in taking pictures!), and made my husband and I feel so comfortable during the whole experience. We are so looking forward to seeing his pictures, but in the meantime the experience was top notch.

Jeff Hall has a great eye for photography, his photographs are unique yet really tell the story. He's technologically savvy and very personable, and would be a great choice!

Very easy-going, professional, and highly talented. Jeff knows what he's doing and provides an invaluable service. Quality, innovative, unique photos that capture the essence of the celebration. Great service for a great price! Thank you Jeff!

Jeff was an absolute pleasure to work with. We chose him because he had an artistic view and could give us the interesting art photos we were looking for. We wanted more than just the posed shots and he gave us such an amazing array of pictures. He was non-invasive and we hardly knew he was there. We are so glad we chose to work with him and I recommend him to everyone!!!

I almost did not write a review, however after being apart of a few wedding since my own and seeing the difference between photographers I decided I needed to say something because they literally can make or break your day. I will say, that I did get some beautiful pictures from my wedding day, but the stress and awkwardness that came along with Jeff was definitely not worth it. This was a surprise since his reviews were amazing and I was sure I had found a photographer that would make my wedding extra special. However, I soon found out that after I paid the 50% deposit, it was very difficult to get ahold of Jeff to plan our engagement session, and once we did it was equally difficult to get the pictures back from him. He would tell me to expect them in a couple of days and it ended up being a couple of weeks. He often told me one thing and did another, which caused a lot of frustration. If you use Jeff I would recommend having in your contract the length of time to expect the pictures both engagement and wedding (which apparently most do), which would remove this complication. The “final edited” photos I received from my wedding, I asked for 400 to be edited, instead, he sent me all 1500, which may sound like a good thing but it wasn’t. I had to then go back through and find the ones I actually wanted again, all had a generic filter that washed out some of the faces, very little attention was given and there was some that still had his assistance or cars in the background that he was supposed to edit out. Additionally, many of our group photos people faces were covering other faces and there were many that we just could not use (I mean basic photography is when you look through the lens you can see each person face…right?), he also lined my bridesmaids up unevenly on either side of me in a couple of pictures, giving the photo a lopsided effect. To be honest, looking back on the day I am not surprised by the photos I received because of the moment he showed up at my parent’s house to take the pre-wedding photos, he seems to be annoyed and would rather be anywhere but where he was. I received many comments from my bridesmaids that day, wondering what his deal was, again which is very surprising considering all his previous reviews. I would suggest if you choose Jeff, you have some cute pictures ideas ready to go because it was pulling teeth to get him to come up with ideas, and thankfully I had some vocal friends who helped in this area. I would also recommend you have a list of specific photos you want to have and have someone checking it off because the day gets very hectic and even though you think you are getting a million pictures you will miss some important ones, like one of just me and my mom. I also asked him to take photos of me by myself, I mean I’m the bride and only dressing up like this once in my lifetime and he told me that he got the shot and we did not need anymore. He was right; we got ONE shot with me looking down and away from the camera, that was it. I was very disappointed with Jeff both personally and professionally, and if you were lucky and had a great experience with him I am very happy for you, however, for me, that was not the case and I will never recommend his services to anyone. However, the lady who he brought as his second photographer was wonderful and she took some of my favorite pictures of the day, and I truly appreciate all her input and suggestions she gave! I hope this review is helpful.
