The Best in the Biz

One look at his website and you know he has an absolute gift. I have never met someone with such talent, yet an incredibly calm and relaxing personality. He captured moments we didn't see and feelings I never thought could be expressed through film. Jeffrey is an incredible person and he'll make you feel the same way.

Mind-blowing. Phenomenal. An artist. A breath of fresh air. Just wow.

Jeff. JLB. JEFF. I cannot believe I was a client of JLB. No like seriously. JLB will take your wedding experience to levels you never imagined could exist. Our wedding felt like a Hollywood movie, straight out of a magazine. While we’re talking with our guests and my mom is gushing on the phone with my grandma overseas Jeff is bouncing in the room taking photos left right and Center. He is so very organized, super duper kind, takes pride in his creativity and knows how to get a couple comfortable. Not only that, he also knows how to carry himself in large bridal parties with so many distractions, he walks through every single challenging situation like a breeze, including chasing a 10 foot veil in the air to capture the most perfect shot (true story and my veil was safe and sound and the picture was a thousand times worth it) I cannot emphasize how incredibly humbled I am to have been JLB’s client and I am looking forward to hiring him for every single event moving forward. Thank you Jeff, we truly love you and loved working with you. Alia & Mohamed

Speechless. You'll never be able to look at wedding photos the same way ever again.

Wow, wow, wow, we literally can't say enough good things about our experience working with Jeffrey. His photos are absolutely stunning and are unlike any other wedding photos we've seen before (and not just because he does GIFs too!). His framing is impeccable, the emotions he captures, the colors and textures he brings to life. Every photo is so dynamic and dramatic and visceral. We saw our sneak peeks and were absolutely speechless.

Not only is he an amazing artist, but he was so easy to work with. Right from the beginning, he made an effort to learn everyone's names and put us all at ease. We were chatting and laughing with him before long, just as if he was another one of our friends or family members at the wedding. He made us feel totally relaxed in front of the camera. We absolutely recommend working with him. You won't regret it.

Don't think twice...hire JLB

JLB, Jeffrey, has been one of the greatest decisions of our wedding! We knew we wanted excellent pictures and did a LOT of research in looking for the perfect fit photographer...and we found Jeffrey. He is very confident, personable, kind, and professional! He keeps communication open at all times. Due to our work schedules and us being in FL, we thought it would be very difficult to communicate with our photographer, but Jeffrey has an online google doc portal that makes planning locations for photography very easy! Not only that he completely takes the stress off your shoulder on wedding day! He takes the lead and knows exactly to do for exquisite photos (memories for a lifetime)! JLB is definitely worth the investment! Can't say enough about him!

Best decision you can make!

I cannot say enough great things about JLB! I had admired his work for the longest time so when it was my time to get married it was a no brainer to use him for photography. He is a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The planning is stress free and I had total confidence going into the day with him. He kept us focused on the day of so we could get the shots we wanted yet used his creative mastermind to get awesome pictures when seeing an opportune shot!
The sneak peek - which is a good amount of pictures - was displayed within 24 hours. Our guests were blown away and we could not have been happier. JLB is a true artist and will not disappoint!

Highly recommend JLB!

Jeffrey is so incredibly talented. We live out of state and we weren't able to meet Jeffrey until our wedding day, but he was still able to instantly put us at ease. Typical of Michigan, we experienced pretty bad weather, but Jeffrey was a trooper and stood out in the pouring rain/hail/snow with 30mph wind gusts to ensure we had amazing shots outside. He took full advantage of the periods of good weather we had and was creative – like when he incorporated an umbrella and had us walk out beyond the barn to capture some amazing shots with the farm in the background. Even without a second shooter, Jeffrey was able to capture every important moment and we could not be more thankful that we have so many gorgeous photos to remember our special day. He posted an amazing teaser board of photos and gifts within a day that we were able to share with family and friends. His gifs are unique and were a great way to capture special moments between my husband and I throughout the day. Cannot recommend JLB enough!

If you want the best, go with JLB

Jeffrey is the best! His photos are top notch. If you haven't already, check out (and follow) his Instagram.

Jeffrey really impressed us in our engagement shoot. We had planned some shoots by a waterfall, but when we arrived we found out that the way had been blocked by a huge fence. Jeffrey was so dedicated to the shoot that we agreed to climb it, then down a huge cliff, and over wet river rocks to get the photos. And they turned out great!

On our wedding day, we had to battle 30+ MPH winds and shifting light. Again, our shots came out great. But most of all, Jeffrey was great at helping us stay comfortable through the process. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

Photography is an art for Jeffrey.

We weren't looking for a standard wedding photographer to do the standard deal. We wanted someone with an open, creative mind who would be excited about capturing our nontraditional wedding, and Jeffrey did just that. He was professional from our first video chat during which he asked us detailed questions about our vision. He paid attention to every aspect-- lighting, timing, transportation, etc. He is clearly experienced and poised. We couldn't be happier with our memories!

JLB made our wedding day :)

Having JLB as our photographer was the number one thing I wanted for our wedding day (I knew this even before I was even engaged). You can see his photography is phenomenal, and he is just as amazing to work with. Everything felt so natural, he kept us laughing all day, and even our family and friends spoke about how great he was. My husband does not particularly enjoy taking pictures, and he said it was his favorite part of the day. He couldn't stop talking about it for weeks to come, and said choosing JLB was the overall best decision we made for our wedding. I couldn't have agreed more. He captured so many wonderful moments that we will treasure forever. Book him now! You will be so happy you did :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
