Natural, Beautiful, Timeless Photography

My style mixes classic artistry with spontaneous fun. You will be comfortable in front of the camera and I'll beautifully capture your candid moments.

With my communication, organization, and attention to detail, your wedding day will run smoothly and stress-free so you can relax and have fun.

You will receive your photographs 2-weeks after your wedding!

You’ll see a sneak-peak slideshow of your wedding photos at your reception.

My numerous 5-star reviews is a testament to my service, quality, and dependability.

Wonderful, Dayton local photographer

Jeff was wonderful to work with. He captured our event perfectly and was very professional. He was very responsive in communication and was very detailed in planning for all of our shoots. He is highly knowledgeable about the Dayton area and was well prepared. We would strongly recommend Jeff if you are looking for a reasonably priced, reliable, and fun photographer for your event.

10/10 Recommend

Best quality pictures ever!! He photographed my brother’s wedding as well as mine, and we both couldn’t be happier with the results. He was very flexible with our schedule and went along with the random pictures we added along the way. He even got my dad to smile for pictures as well which was a bonus!!

So thankful we hired Jeff!

From our initial consultation to our wedding day, Jeff was incredibly professional, helpful, and exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer! He paid close attention to our questions and desires during our initial consultation. After that meeting and looking through his work, it was an easy decision to book him. And I'm so glad that we did! One of my favorite things about working with Jeff is that he gives you very clear directions about how to pose during photos. I don't take many pictures, so I was nervous about that part. However, Jeff made me feel so confident and I feel like it shows in the final photos! Also, his assistant photographer was absolutely amazing at helping us take care of those little things like a tie that's not straight and the veil in the wrong place. All of my bridesmaids commented on how easy and enjoyable it was to work with Jeff and they were so impressed at how he made the photo part of the day relaxing, but still kept us on schedule.

Five Star Experience

Jeff did a fantastic job, start to finish. He was professional and experienced, offering ideas for photo locations when we asked for them. He worked with us to plan a very thorough schedule for the wedding day (including who exactly needed to be where, when), then helped us stick to it. We really benefitted from his expertise while planning. He has an excellent overall understanding of weddings and brought up details we wouldn’t even have thought of ourselves. Of course, we were overjoyed with the quality of the photos, as well as the number and the variety. He worked with us to capture a few shots we had in mind at the last minute, and they came out great. He had a gallery online that made it easy to share our photos with anyone via email. Five star experience overall.

Could not be happier

My wife and I hired Jeff to photograph our wedding and we could not be happier with the work he did for us. He was always very professional, responsive, and punctual. As for the actual photography aspect, there is no one who does his job better than Jeff. He and his secondary photographer did a fantastic job capturing every aspect of our big day from all of the early prep all the way to the end of the night. He ended up delivering us over a 1000 pictures that were all so good that we had trouble picking out our favorites.

We also recently picked up our wedding album and it exceeded all of our expectations. The album is extremely high quality and we are blessed to have such a great reminder of that day. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

I am a makeup artist and met Jeff at a wedding and he was instantly a friendly person, easy to talk to, which are important traits to have in a photographer since you literally spend all day with him/her. Jeff's photos are clean, sharp and very artistic. When I saw them I had to have them for my website. Turned out that my web guy, also a photographer, knew of Jeff and admired his work, so his reputation proceeds him. Jeff was kind enough to give me the photos to use on my site. Thanks so much Jeff!
