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.

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.

The best thing we did for our wedding day was have Jeff there to capture every moment. His work is stunning and he is such a joy to work with. We had a great experience from the beginning to end! Jeff made our day flow, was easy to work with, and truly loves his job! Jeff is very organized and a man of his word. He won’t disappoint. We had a wonderful experience and absolutely love all of the photos!

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.

Jeff was Amazing!
Jeff did a fantastic job at our wedding. He knew exactly how and where to setup the shots and every picture came out beautifully. His second photographer grabbed tons of awesome photos as well and we are very happy with how they all came out. I would highly recommend Jeff for any wedding.

Great photographer!
My recommendation is simple: hire Jeff. You will not be disappointed. We chose a package that included engagement photos also. We got great pictures from that as well as the wedding. We have had so many compliments on our photos. Our guests loved that he set up a monitor and played a slideshow of pictures from earlier in the day.

Fantastic!
Jeff was the best wedding photographer! I looked at at least 20 other photographer webites before finding Jeff. Once I saw his pictures, I knew he was the photographer for us. Jeff responded quickly to my inquiry and set up a meeting with my husband and me. After talking with him, we saw how detail oriented he is and how hard he works to capture the emotion of every moment. We knew that our day would be photographed perfectly with Jeff!
On our wedding day, he worked so hard the entire day. He arrived at 10:30 for getting ready pictures and was still there at 11pm photographing our final dance. Our guests even commented how attentive Jeff was. He did a great job making sure every photograph we wanted was taken, as well as staying organized so we stayed on schedule. I cannot wait to get my pictures back and re-live the entire day! Jeff is well worth the investment.

Gorgeous photos and all around amazing to work with!
I was first interested in Jeff Schaefer Photography because of the gorgeous photos I saw on his website (seriously, go check those out) but Jeff really goes above and beyond just great photos. He's clearly passionate about wedding photography and captures everything on the big day including lots of candid moments and small details as well as all the posed portraits. Compared to other weddings I've been in with other photographers Jeff was hands down the best at giving suggestions for posing and backgrounds and getting all those group pictures done quickly and effectively. He is also so fast and organized in getting your photos back to you, we had some playing at the reception (definitely a crowd pleaser) and all of them on a zip drive waiting for us when we got back from our honeymoon!

Jeff did amazing work; we couldn't be happier with the way he captured our day!
Jeff was fantastic! We love our wedding and engagement photos. He worked with us before our wedding to get on the same page on the type of photos we wanted and our timeline for the day. I really appreciated the way he communicated with our families. Some of our family members wanted to take their own photos, and he patiently let them take their photos before taking his own photos.
He captured our wedding in a timeless way. We didn't want pictures that would look out of date in a few years. Our photos are not over edited and are classic, just what we wanted!
What first caught our eye on Jeff's photos is the way he captured emotion. And he perfectly captured the emotions of our day.
We're really happy with Jeff's work and his service. He was always easy to contact and communicate with.

My husband and I knew that choosing the right wedding photographer was going to be the most important part of maintaining memories from our wedding day, and we could not have been more pleased with Jeff Schaefer. It was the combination of his experience in shooting weddings as a full-time job, couple with his experience in the photography industry, that made him a perfect choice for our wedding. And boy, did he deliver! Throughout the wedding planning process, he was very available, answering our emails as we had them, and also working with us on setting up our wedding day timeline. And on the day of the wedding, you could not have asked for a more professional person keeping the stress level low recognizing his job is one of the most important ones that day! He followed the timeline perfectly and rolled with the punches as we needed more time here and there; he captured the various combinations of photos we asked for; he worked through some intense winds to capture some incredible shots; and he stayed through the entire wedding ceremony! Not only did he turn all of our wedding pictures 4 days after our wedding, but the pictures were OUTSTANDING. I don't know how he did it, but he was able to capture our personalities, our expressions, and really highlight the fun of the day. I don't even know how I am going to create an album because they are all SPECTACULAR. What's even more impressive is, when we shared the pictures with our friends and family, they were all saying the same things! Overall, everyone was impressed with the quality (and quantity as he had 1100 pictures) of the pictures Jeff shared back with us, as well as the way he just captured our personalities and behaviors perfectly. I continue to go through the pictures on a daily basis and I don't think it will ever get old. Thank you Jeff, and I highly recommend him for any bride and groom looking to make a great decision about preserving the memories of their big day.

Alissa, I'm glad your happy, and thanks for the awesome review!

Great experience with Jeff Schaefer Photography
Jeff was really great to work with. He was responsive, thorough, and patient (we had a lot of questions). He had good recommendations for photo locations and we were really, really pleased with his professionalism and the quality of his work. On the day of our wedding, Jeff was great at keeping things moving so that we stayed on schedule, which is not something I knew I needed in a photographer, but was IMMENSELY helpful on the day. I would absolutely recommend Jeff Schaefer Photography for wedding and engagement photos.

For anyone looking for a photographer, I would absolutely recommend Jeff for your pictures! He did our engagement as well as wedding pictures and we could not be happier with how they turned out! They were beautiful! He also had great recommendations for locations for wedding pictures and was able to get in plenty of pictures in a short time with such a big wedding party. Jeff is very professional and organized which made taking pictures stress free! Highly recommend!

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.

Great photos! This was the one thing my husband and I splurged on towards our wedding. The photos from this day will last forever so its important that they be perfect. Jeff is an extremely talented photographer and my photos are stunning. He offers three different packages of varying prices to match your budget and also offers hardback photo books that he himself designs (of course allowing the opportunity for your input). I had no idea of the types of pictures I wanted so Jeff took charge and put all of us in poses that resulted gorgeous pictures. I had a large amount of people to get pictures of (6 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen, 3 jr bridesmaids, flower girl, ring bearer, and 3 ushers, not to mention family members....) and somehow he managed to control the situation and achieve a fantastic result. I couldn't be happier with my pictures. If I had to pick one complaint it would be I wish it had gone faster, simply because it was 90+ degrees out that day and I was sweating like crazy...but then again, you can't rush art. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking for truly beautiful and memorable pictures from their wedding. In my opinion no other photos compare to his.

He kept all of us all in line, and always had a smile on his face. Jeff's temperament was just was I was looking for in a photographer. He made the whole experience complete. We are thrilled with the finished product!

Jeff and his team captured our special day perfectly! He was easy to work with, offered reasonable packages, and was not 'in-your-face' at the wedding - my husband and I barely knew he was there! The pictures came back in a timely manner and were BEAUTIFUL!!! Jeff really has a special talent and I would recommend him to any bride looking for someone to capture their wedding day!!!
