10 / 10 would highly recommend !
words can't even express how happy we are with our pictures & our experience overall. Choosing vendors is overwhelming with planning a wedding & Jeff made it a no brainer. We did our engagement session with him and our engagements pictures came out so well we knew our wedding pics would be amazing and they were ! Thank you Jeff for capturing such a special era of our lives and for any couples looking for a photographer I highly recommend him! -

My husband and I hired Jeff for our engagement shoot and very quickly re-booked him for our wedding. Aside from the absolutely stunning photos, one of the things that stood out about working with Jeff over other wedding photographers I've worked with was how relaxed he made everything feel. Despite an obviously strict timeline, nothing ever felt stressful or rushed. There was no pressure to over pep any of our photos or make it feel like something that wasn't us. He captured so many lovely moments of the day and made our wedding feel like a happy occasion instead of a rushed series of events. -

Our wedding experience
Jeff Thatcher is an amazing photographer and wonderful person. He has an incredible eye for detail, which is evident in every photo.
What truly set Jeff apart was his extraordinary ability to capture the essence of our special day. The photos speak volumes, not just in their stunning quality, but in a way they convey the emotions and love present in each moment.
His friendly and approachable demeanor was a breath of fresh air during the activities of the day.
Receiving our photos was like reliving the day all over again. Each picture was meticulously crafted, showcasing Jeff’s artistic touch. We cannot thank Jeff enough for preserving our special day in such a beautiful and heartfelt way.
We are deeply grateful to Jeff Thatcher Photography for not just capturing our wedding day, but for creating art that reflects our love story.
Thank you, Jeff, for giving us the gift of memories that will last a lifetime time. -

Rikio K. Sent on 06/16/2023Amazing photographer and all-around awesome dude!
Jeff was the first vendor we picked because we knew we wanted an amazing photographer and looking at his Instagram and website, we knew he was the one we wanted. All I can say is, we will be booking Jeff again in the future from something or other. He is an incredible photographer and a really cool dude. He accommodated us with every ask and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Some of our favorite photos are where Jeff added a little flare by adding a little movement into the photos or other artsy types of photography techniques. We will definitely be asking for more of those on our next shoot. Also, those black-and-white shots were just money. So good. -

We had the pleasure of having Jeff photogrpah our engagement pictures and our wedding in San Diego. Jeff is so kind and inclusive. He was responsive and was flexible on location dates and times. He captured some amazing candid shots that I know we will cherish forever and made us feel comfortable during the more posed shots. If you're into moody fun shots but still want timeless, go with Jeff! -

The perfect choice for your wedding! Chill vibes with bold personality
The two people you will spend the most time with during your wedding is your photographer and your videographer, so it was important that we vibed with both of them. We LOVE Jeff. He was the first vendor we booked for our wedding. We met over zoom and he had a super chill personality that we knew we wanted for our wedding. We felt like we had known him for years and it was so comfortable. I found Jeff on IG and loved how he was able to capture the love of all his couples. His photographs are so beautiful…they were genuine and not super staged or awkward looking. My husband and I are probably the most awkward/uncomfortable when posing but Jeff put us at ease. It was fun and hilarious and he was the perfect choice for our special day. His photographs are bold, beautiful, and everything we wanted and didn’t know we wanted. Unfortunately, I was one of those brides that had a shot list because our family is the most important to us so we HAD TO get those family photos and everything else was bonus. Jeff didn’t complain about anything we asked for and did an AMAZING job. My only regret is not having more of artsy-completely signature Jeff photos he has in his portfolio. Jeff is truly an artist and took gorgeous photos of our wedding and we are so lucky to relive our wedding day. -

Exactly the Vibe
If you are looking for a creative, quirky, out-of-the-box photographer for your wedding Jeff is your dude! My husband and I were looking for a photographer who had a photojournalist approach and would understand our vision and Jeff executed perfectly! We wanted to bring the 60’s and 70’s and lots of color into our engagement shoot & wedding and Jeff had a very “f*ck yeah” attitude and helped us bring that vision to life. All of our photos turned out better than we could have imagined and we are so grateful :) -

We found Jeff pretty early on in our photographer search and we knew really quickly that we absolutely loved his style! His photos have movement and energy and bring so much real life to the image so we knew we wanted him for our wedding! His photos are not your average wedding photo, his work stands out as unique and progressive and he is a true artist. Jeff is easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable being photographed. He is professional and approachable, Highly recommend! -

Carlo M. Sent on 11/03/2020Absolute Dream Come True!
Working with Jeff was an absolutely amazing experience, and he captured our special day in a way that we only could have dreamed of. We hired Jeff to shoot both our engagement photos, as well as our wedding, and in both cases, he far exceeded our expectations. Jeff was fun, professional, helpful, creative, communicative, and an absolute dream to work with in every possible way.
Prior to hiring Jeff, we looked at a lot of different photographers, and when we discovered Jeff’s website, his work immediately stood out to us. His attention to detail, understanding of color and contrast, and overall creativity really put him head and shoulders above the rest. And when he photographed our wedding, all of those qualities were certainly on display and then some. Jeff’s photos tapped into our own personalities and showcased the unique love that my wife and I have for each other. Nobody else could have done such a perfect job, and my wife and I will be forever grateful to Jeff for the outstanding work he did in capturing the most important day of our lives!
I can't recommend him enough! -

Jeff is an amazing person, photographer, and artist. My husband and I were looking for a wedding photographer that would capture our silly nature and love for one another in unique and un-staged moments. Also, we hoped to find a photography style that was captivating in color, contrast, and lighting that all told a consistent story. And man, did we find all of that and more with Jeff!! His photos are truly art and speak for themselves.
Also, he was so fun and easy to work with from the first meeting, to engagement photos, and the wedding day. We appreciated all the little tricks he used to keep my husband and I stay focused on each other and not the camera. Jeff turned around sneak peak photos in a couple days and timely delivered a huge album of digital photos that we will cherish forever.
Out of all the decisions planning our wedding, booking Jeff as our photographer was the best decision by far! -

Talented Photographer, Great Person
We initially reached out to Jeff because we loved his style and he was offering high-quality photos at a price that fit our modest budget. What we got was not only high-quality photos, but also a high-quality experience. After planning a 60-person wedding for May, COVID-19 hit and our plans changed drastically. Jeff was extremely flexible and worked with us to create new arrangements that fit our adjusted plans for a very intimate, socially-distanced wedding. I can't overstate how valuable that was to use during a time when so much was uncertain - Jeff made things easy and comfortable. We can't recommend Jeff enough! -

Jeff was absolutely the right photographer for us. Picking a wedding photographer in the DC area was overwhelming, but we’re so grateful we stumbled upon Jeff’s work. We loved his artistic style, and working with him was very natural. My partner and I both don’t like getting our pictures taken and are generally pretty awkward in front of the camera, but Jeff just told us to never look at him and he captured us interacting, joking, and being ourselves. It provided us with way more authentic pictures that truly captures the spirit of our relationship. We enjoyed the included engagement session because it let us get to know each other before the big day and gave us one less thing to need to worry about. Our friends and family all loved working with him as well, and we were so impressed with his talent and vision. -

Easy and one of our most favorite photoshoots!
First, let me start off by saying that Jeff is so talented at what he does. We met Jeff for the first time at a photo shoot on the high line in NYC. Often, it can be awkward taking photos with someone you’ve never met before. I should also note that we are a polyamorous family and that it can be challenging for photographers to capture three people instead of two people who make a couple. Jeff was so easy going that he made us feel SO comfortable during the shoot. He isn’t the posey kind of photographer, but instead gives you the space to just BE while he captures you in your essence. Our photo shoot with him is by far one of our most favorite ones. He captured our sweet and silly moments- he captured our exact essence. Jeff is friendly, professional, and easy to work with. It was an honor working with him, and we’d do it again in a heart beat! We often look at our photos from his shoot, and every time we look at the photos, we feel the same level of excitement and amazement as when we first received the gallery. His art will always be one that we hold dear in our hearts. -

Jeff is our new favorite person!
It was so nice to work with Jeff. He really helped guide us to caption moments we didn't know we wanted. He was so friendly and very easy to talk to. He really understood what we were looking for and it helped he was so fun to be around. I enjoyed talking to him prior to the wedding almost on a weekly basis as our plans kept changing. He went with it and kept reminding me it would be a beautiful day regardless of the weather or where our location ended up at. The day of our wedding he really helped get everyone together and keep things moving. Never once was I going "where's Jeff?" I want to have more events just so I can ask him to photograph again.Jeff Thatcher Photography's reply:
Thanks so much Carrie!!! I tried my best to not scream and yell and be a primadonna lol 😝
definitely loved your wedding and rain ain't no thang. just makes the shots that much better! 😊 -

Katelyn Sent on 08/16/2018Choosing Jeff for our wedding day was a no brainer! There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that my husband and I will work with him again. From the moment we meet him at his wife's bakery in Virginia, we knew it was a done deal. He was so welcoming and knowledgable about his company and work. Any question we had, he had an answer.
Knowing that our engagement pictures were a part of his wedding package left us with an ease of mind. Now about ur engagement session, PHENOMENAL. Jeff made sure to get all the best shots, worked our golden retriever into the shots, and even went out on a boat with us to get the shots that we desired. We were so grateful that he was open to the locations and shots that we were hoping to achieve. Jeff was flexible and kept the entire shoot very upbeat so that every picture looked natural and matched the personality of us as a couple.
Our wedding day was the best day ever, and my husband and I have zero regrets about asking Jeff to capture it. The small sneak peaks that we received within 24 hours from Jeff were everything and more. He and his second photographer, Erika, were by far one amazing at getting all of the shots and more that we had hoped for on our wedding day. Our entire families had nothing but great things to say about the two of them on our wedding day. We were especially grateful with how flexible and understanding they were about making sure to get my elderly grandparents in shots and my cousin with special needs. Not many photographers would be that understanding when having to work with so many elements. Jeff and Erika were a party of the party that night on the dance floor. Throughout the entire day they were never obtrusive in the moments at the church or reception, and they simply a seamless party of our wedding day. They stayed till the bitter end and achieved shots that our friends and family cannot get enough of.
We cannot wait to see the rest of their amazing photos from the day, and to work with Jeff again.

Jamie Sent on 08/16/2018Jeff was awesome to work with! He did our engagement photos and our wedding. He definitely made the whole process not as awkward as it can be getting your pictures taken. All the photos turned out perfect. He was really personable and easy to talk to. We would defiantly work with him in the future for any other sessions we want to do!
