About

I am a fine art photographer based in the Midwest. I am lucky to have my sweet and beautiful wife, Valerie as my assistant. Together we are passionate and work hard to ensure you have the most amazing day. Our approach is a combination of photojournalism, natural light, and magazine appeal. Our style can be described as: organic, timeless, and modern.

Our approach to life is being genuine and honest in all we do. Every day we are grateful and humble for the life we live. We constantly strive to maintain a well and positive balance in: love, family, friendship, and existence. Together we love to travel, cuddle our hound dogs, try new foods, and watch Netflix.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff on an Omaha wedding in September 2017. As a wedding planner, Jeff and Val made the planning process for my client seamless and stress free. On the day of the wedding, they were a joy to work with from styling the invitation suite to keeping a large party organized throughout photos, traveling and formal photos post-ceremony. The Bride and Groom never felt rushed and were able to truly enjoy their wedding day.

Words cannot even begin to describe how gorgeous the gallery of images are that were delivered by Jeff and Val. Their work is as flawless and beautiful as their approach to the wedding day. I hope to have many more clients use Jeff Sampson Photography.

We had the greatest experience with Jeff. He's so easy going, open to ideas and he's just the nicest guy! Our wedding photos turned out to be absolutely beautiful. We eloped and needed somebody who could capture the day in a series of candid photos. He did just that. In fact, I received the best compliment just yesterday! A coworker told me that our wedding photos were the most beautiful and candid photos she's ever seen. If you want somebody to stop time and capture your most precious memories, THIS IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WANT!

From the moment my then fiancé stepped into Jeff's studio we knew our photos were going to be amazing!! Our engagement photos turned out beautifully! Jeff has a wonderful eye for natural light turning an ordinary photo op into something completely magical!

After seeing our engagement session photos I knew our wedding photos would be even more wonderful! Jeff and Val captured the most important moments of our day! The detail, classic but casual photos were exactly what Jordan and I were looking for! He truly is a spectacular photographer!!

I received my wedding pic cd in the mail today (prettiest packaging ever, by the way) and I just had to write a review. If you are looking for fantastic photos, then hire Jeff and Val. I am extremely picky, and they are so incredibly patient and are very easy to work with. My husband and I are beyond thrilled with our photos. It's hard picking out a photographer for this very special day. If you're like me, you are very sentimental and you want your pictures to be just perfect. If you want perfection, go with Jeff and Val. Plus, they're really nice and fun! And they do a great job with engagement pics! If you're looking for something a little different from the run-of-the-mill wedding pics, these two are a great choice! If I had to do it all over again, they would be one of the first phone calls I'd make!

I highly recommend Jeff Sampson Photography for any special event in your life. The husband and wife duo are extremely professional and help to ensure that the photographs of your special day capture not only the event, but those special moments you want to hold onto forever. Even months later, looking at our wedding photographs brings back all of the emotions I felt on my wedding day....a truly priceless gift.

Jeff Sampson Photography was exactly what I was looking for in a photographer - very creative, flexible, professional, and excellent packages at excellent prices. Our pictures were better than I even imaged, which is saying something because I came to the table with pretty high expectations! I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Hire Jeff and Val Sampson was one of the best decisions I made regarding the wedding. Jeff and Val are creative and flexible. My husband and I appreciate creative and journalistic style photography while my parents appreciate a more tradtional style. Jeff and Val were able to keep both of us extremely happy. From the engegement session to the wedding, Jeff and Val took beautiful pictures. We constantly have people asking us who took our engagement and wedding photos. I look forward to hiring them for all and any photography needs in the future.

Jeff and Valerie were wonderful and adjusted our wedding package to fit our needs perfect. Valerie was able to help guide me down the right direction with questions and concerns that I had which helped make wedding planning easier on me, and needless to say the final product of the photos as well as our photo album was amazing!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
