Magical Photos

We are so so thankful we had We Are Big Pictures for our wedding day. Our photos are beyond words, and they really fill me with the magic feeling that I felt on our wedding day. They captured candid moments beautifully, and I can't express how much they exceeded expectations. It is hard to pick favorite photos to frame because there are so so many good ones. Thank you so much Jeff and Colleen!

Trust his creativity!

engagement pictures. we decided to take ours in Laguna. I remembered Jeff passing a car garage, stopping, and saying this spot is perfect for a pretty rad picture. Thinking it was strange, but deciding to go along with it. When we saw the picture, I was wow-ed. Trust his creativity!

Jeff and his team made our day one we will never forget!

Jeff and her entire crew are amazing! He has done our engagement photos, our wedding photos, and our wedding video. We get multiple compliments on our photos every single day. Jeff really has an eye that you need from a photographer. He goes the extra mile to get those really good shots. We are so happy with our photos and would choose him time and time again! Photo and video are something you have to splurge on because it’s the only thing that truly lasts a lifetime. Jeff and his team are the absolute best. We cannot wait to see our video!

Jeff+Amber did an amazing job shooting our engagement and wedding photos. They captured the emotions and day beautifully! Amber got sick the day of our wedding and the substitute photographer stepped in beautifully. Amber was proactive in settling the difference between the cost of our packages by offering a wedding album or a price correction. They were always timely and professional. We opted for the wedding album and am really glad we did because it is stunning.

Really special pair of talents who are fun and professional. They have a lot of cool stories and experiences to share to help you connect with them, which was important to us when listening to direction for the best photos possible.

We did not have an far-reaching destinations for them; our engagement shoot and wedding were both in San Diego County but they still got there on time and ready to shoot. They knew both areas very well which helped in picking the they knew would work but also getting creative for some new angles and environments.

Normally they are top of the line expensive which we would not have been able to afford. Luckily they worked with us to get down to a price we could meet because our wedding was out of season and not on a weekend. Otherwise we could not afford them because they are worth top dollar.

I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the quality of the photographs from the engagement shoot and the Big Day. Not every shot can be a masterpiece but they delivered more masterpieces than I can count. Some in sunlight, some in b&w, some night, some day.

Both Jeff and Amber were there to shoot the wedding. They seemed to have fun and hit every request on our photo schedule which was NOT a short list, especially with family requests. Both the shots of the environment and objects (site, decorations, flowers, etc.) and the people were equal in high quality and composition.

I can't thank them enough for doing what they did for us. Everything they gave us turned out AMAZING!!

Jeff Plus Amber photography is amazing, if you're looking for a talented bunch of people who really know what they are doing, STOP and pick Jeff Plus Amber. My husband and I had the luxury of working with Jeff and Amber for our engagement shoot. When we met them it seemed like we knew them forever, they were easy to talk to and made us feel extremely comfortable. We’re not photogenic people, but they made our photo shoot so MUCH fun! Our pictures came out flawless and so incredible. For our day of wedding we worked with Amber and Brandon. They truly captured every special moment we had and got epic shots of our family & friends. When we received our photos I was blown away with how phenomenal they were and how there were some shots I didn’t even know they were around for. We also booked their cinematography company with them known as The Big Pictures. Mike, Erin and Ryan were just so amazing! With Mike and Erin the moment I met them I felt such a connection, like I could talk to them for hours about my husband and I’s love story and everything else in our lives. Our personal interviews for our video were so special and its because of Mike and Erin. Mike and Erin are a married couple who truly seem to love, love and just are so excited to be apart of your special day. As far as Ryan he was so present and truly engaged in our special day. I could go on and on about how fan-freakin-tastic this team is, but I don’t want to ramble more than I already have. Just simply know Jeff & Amber along with their amazing team is knowledgable, professional, fast at responses, truly caring & damn good at what they do. Seriously stop debating & call them!

Jeff and Amber are amazing! They are so personable, creative, talented and professional. Our ceremony was later in the day and I was a bit stressed about how the lighting would be for our outdoor pictures with the sun going down. Jeff and Amber were still able to capture all the moments perfectly. Our photos came out looking so natural and exactly as I wanted. We would highly recommend!!

This photography team got amazing shots and helped keep the bride and groom calm. Their fun yet professional demeanor was amazing and they were a pleasure to work with. We are always very excited when our couples choose Jeff + Amber to document their special day!
