  Jeff Dillow and his second shooter did a fantastic job for our wedding and we are so happy with the results. Jeff met with us early to discuss plans, and was willing to work with our day-of schedule to get all of the shots we were hoping for, and also suggest new things that we hadn't thought of.
  The day of the wedding is obviously stressful, however the confident and laid-back way that Jeff handled us helped us to enjoy the moments and get great pictures, despite how stressful they were. For family photos Jeff did a great job of being patient while wrangling our large family, while also being persistent to get good pictures.
  We kept Jeff on through much of the dancing to allow for some golden hour pictures, and he got some fantastic action shots of our best friends and family dancing, which ended up being some of the most entertaining shots! We also appreciate how he would volunteer to take pictures for groups attempting difficult group selfies, resulting in some truly fun shots.
  We received our pictures just a few weeks after the wedding, and could not be more pleased with the results. We are extremely happy with Jeff and would recommend him to anyone!

  If you're looking for a perfect wedding photographer, don't look any further than Jeff. After meeting with him once, I knew I wanted him to be apart of my wedding! The photographer is arguably the most important vendor on your big day, so if you want the best, you've found it right here.
  Jeff is extremely friendly, organized, and definitely has an artistic eye that made our engagement and wedding photos so incredibly special and GORGEOUS! His easy going personality makes him really fun to work with, and he made all of our family and friends so comfortable on our wedding day.
  Some wedding photographers can be really pricey but the packages that Jeff offers are amazing! For what we paid we got him AND a second photographer for 10+ hours on our wedding day, over 600 gorgeous wedding photos, a two hour engagement photo shoot, around 100 engagement photos and a beautiful photo album that he made to top it off. (You tell him your 50 of your favorite photos from your wedding and he puts together an album for you!)
  Another great thing about Jeff is once he sends you the photos, you have rights to them. A lot of photographers won't tell you this, but sometimes after everything is said and done you might have to pay for each individual photo and/or download - which as you can imagine, can get extremely expensive. Jeff does not do this and makes it very clear up front!
  Overall, if you want incredible photos on your wedding day, you need to hire Jeff. He will not disappoint you. If my husband and I didn't live in Chicago now, we would want to hang out with Jeff and his wife Rachel more often!
  Thank you for the being the best throughout our engagement and day of our wedding, Jeff! We will be coming to you for all future photography needs!

  Jeff and Rachel were the best! We chose them because they seemed to be the most down to earth couple we met. We used them for our engagement photos and after that we knew they were the ones for our Wedding Day. The Day of was super busy but they were always calm and collected taking shots in the background. We even were ahead of schedule with our photos and we were able to enjoy more time with our guests! I would recommend having two photographers so they don't miss a thing. You will spend a lot of time with your photographers so you want to make sure you feel very comfortable with them. Having Rachel there really helped me as the bride feel at ease.
  We just got our photos back less than three weeks after our wedding!!! They are wonderful :) We love them so much and are so happy we picked Jeff Dillow Photography!

  I cannot sing Jeff and Rachel's praises highly enough. We had the pleasure of working with them for our engagement photos in October, and cannot WAIT for our wedding next August so we can hang out with them again! Not only were they extremely accommodating with a last-minute location change, they made the experience so much fun that we were put completely at ease. My fiancé hates being in pictures... and these are the best photos I think he's ever taken. We went to a brewery for our first location, which completely set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. We laughed, we drank beer, we laughed some more. Then we headed to the beach where they captured the most incredible sunset shots... they take my breath away every time I look at them.
  
  We were prepared for photography to be our huge splurge in our budget, but were surprised when Jeff and Rachel turned out to be the most affordable team we came across, and their quality of work is simply amazing. They are so fun, carefree, professional, and original... I could gush for 10 more paragraphs. Suffice to say that our photos are beautiful, we had a BLAST, and can't wait for August to arrive.

  We hired Jeff for both our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. We cannot say enough good things about him! He is very professional, has a great eye for capturing details, very accommodating and friendly. We brought our 2 dogs with us for the engagement shoot, Jeff was really patient and worked with us (including the dogs!) to get the perfect shots. For the wedding, Jeff and Rachel were so good at documenting all those little details that I spent so much time on and the photos were natural and fun. We also got our pictures pretty fast- 2-3 weeks after the wedding...amazing! :)
  
  I would recommend Jeff to anyone I know and will definitely hire them again.

  Jeff and Rachel just shot our wedding and Trash the Dress in Riviera Maya, Mexico. They were both such a pleasure to work with: fun, easy-going, professional, and creative! We hadn't personally met them until the day before our wedding, and we felt extremely comfortable and pleased with our decision to use them for their photography services. They came highly recommended through Beach Bum Vacation, and they did not disappoint! Their phone and email communications were very timely and informative. They were able to improvise with our schedule when some things ran late, and when it started raining during the ceremony. We had such an amazing time working with them, and cannot wait to see our photos!

  It's been a year since our wedding and I still find myself looking through our wedding photos far too often! Jeff Dillow Photography shot our engagement and wedding photos and we truly could not be happier with how they all turned out. We have received countless compliments on our photos, including someone who told us our wedding photos were the "best, most unique wedding photos" he'd ever seen. Jeff and Rachel are incredibly warm, friendly, and kind. There is an ease and professionalism about them that makes you feel extremely comfortable during photos. Jeff is quick and responsive via email and makes EVERY effort to ensure you love your photos during the editing process. We are so glad we went with Jeff Dillow Photography to capture such a special time in our lives!

  Jeff was terrific. He has the laid back demeanor to let the wedding party enjoy the day and have fun but he was also in control when it ws time for pictures. A great balance. His photos came out beautifully, and my wife and I were thrilled to get the CDs of the day. Jeff also had some ideas for creative shots that our guests loved. In all, a terrific experience, and I highly recommend.

  Jeff is AMAZING!! Not only is he professional, friendly, and fun, but he is an extremely skilled photographer. He shot our wedding on 5.19.12 and we received our pictures in less than 4 weeks. The package we chose (Solitaire) was very affordable. He has a really great eye for detail and huge talent. When we have kids or family pictures in the future, I will definitely be calling Jeff. You won't be disappointed!!

  As soon as I saw Jeff Dillow's online portfolio, I knew I had my guy. My fiance and I desperately desired a storyteller for our special day... Not the typical portrait-obsessed, time-hungry photographer/manipulator, but someone who would artfully bring the viewer the experience of that amazing day. Now, three months later, I can't count how many people have gushed over Jeff's creativity and unique approach. A friend who couldn't attend recently told me, "Your photos make me feel like I was actually there." I don't know what more I could ask for.

  Jeff did a fabulous job working with us for our engagement photos. We were able to basically run the shoot and he was always asking our opinions. We felt comfortable and fully enjoyed the session. Jeff is very experienced and talented in this field and provides beautiful photos for an unbelievable price!
