Jeff Schaefer Photography

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. More...

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. More...

Jeff and his associate did a fantastic job with our engagement and wedding photos! He was so easy to work with and didn't slow anything down during (what I'm sure is for everyone) a very busy day! We got all of the photos we wanted and then some and processing was done so quickly! I would recommend Jeff to any bride and groom. We met with a couple of photographers before him, who we were less than impressed with. Not only was Jeff cheaper, I'm confident that he did a better job. More...

I absolutely recommend Jeff for wedding photography! I have worked with him twice, once as a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding and last month for my own wedding. My friend’s pictures were so beautiful that as a bridesmaid 5 years ago I told myself if/when I got married I would be hiring Jeff! It was the easiest and best decision we made in wedding planning. He is easy to work with and takes absolutely stunning photos. One of my favorite features is the monitor that he sets up at the reception that plays a slide show of photos taken earlier in the day. Our guests loved it and there was a crowd around it all night. We got access to the online gallery one week from the wedding. We were sitting on the beach on our honeymoon and looking through the pictures. We got about 5 photos into the gallery of hundreds and I turned to my husband and said, “this is worth every penny” and he couldn’t have agreed more. You have one chance to get these photos right and Jeff and his assistant photographer, Nick, nailed it! More...

Jeff and his assistant photographed my sister’s wedding. They were awesome to work with. They were kind and patient with all our little kids. They captured the day perfectly. The images at the reception were such a highlight for the guests. And the pictures themselves- amazing!! If you choose Jeff you won’t be disappointed. More...

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! More...

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 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 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. More...

Jeff was our engagement and wedding photographer 3 years ago, and to this day I still cannot believe how lucky and blessed we were to have him to capture our special day. The quality and quantity of our photos still blows me away every time I go through them. I have had many friends be extremely dissatisfied with their wedding photographer/photos and it makes me sad that they didn't have the positive experience and results I had. Jeff was organized, professional, courteous and always on schedule while keeping an upbeat positive attitude the entire day. (And we had our photos taken outside in the middle of August, which wasn't easy!) He took so much stress and responsibility off of my shoulders that I never once worried about that aspect of our wedding day. I knew and trusted he had everything covered. Jeff went above and beyond to make sure we got shots we would love. If I ever know someone who is getting married in the Cincinnati/Dayton area, I will absolutely recommend him 100%! More...

I cannot say enough great things about Jeff, his photography, Morgan, and my experience working with them.. My wedding guests haven't stopped talking about his photographs since Jeff provided a preview at my reception. Even my hard-to-please husband was impressed - and that's very high praise indeed! Every positive review given and every award bestowed is earned. There's nobody better. More...

I can honestly say that there is nothing negative I can say about Jeff. He is an extremely patient, easy going and fun photographer who takes stunning photos. For my engagement pictures I wanted to make sure that my dog was in them and Jeff was so patient with her and was able to capture amazing pictures of her and us around the city. Never once showed that he was annoyed with our dog. For our wedding he made a very detailed timeline and was on time to take pictures. He also sent out a list to get all the pictures I wanted to ensure he didn't miss any pictures I wanted. He took pictures of things I never would have thought to take pictures of, like the perfume I wore for my wedding, which is great for us to look back on. My dog was also in the wedding and he made sure to include her in a lot of pictures and I got a lot of different pictures with just her and I (I may be slightly obsessed with my dog and Jeff knew this and made sure that I got lots of pictures with her). He was so patient. He and his wife were amazing throughout the whole wedding day taking pictures of everything. At the reception he had a slide show set up with pictures from the ceremony as well as some pictures from our engagement session with the website for our wedding pictures! My husband and I were so shocked when we saw that and our families and guests LOVED that! Even one of our wedding coordinators said she took one because they were too cute! Amazing idea! He and his wife are so friendly and open to picture ideas and also very patient when our families take forever to set up for pictures. Jeff is top rated for a reason, highly recommend him! More...

Jeff was recently our wedding photographer and I must say that I am 100% pleased with the results from our day. He captured the most beautiful photos I could have ever imagined. Our wedding day was a long one as we had our ceremony in Indianapolis, Indiana followed by a dinner and reception between Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio. Jeff never once looked tired or overwhelmed and he was always prompt and ready to suggest different pictures. He was so professional and courteous throughout the day too. Our ceremony being a sacred and religious one can be hard to capture on film. Jeff did a fantastic job capturing the essence of our holy temple on the grounds outside while observing the sacredness of what we hold dear to us in the temple. He was reverent and respectful of our religious views, which was wonderful. At my reception all of my guests were so impressed with him. The comments, both during and in the days following the wedding day were, "Your photographer was great! He was everywhere!" and "Your pictures are absolutely stunning!" I agree 100% with my guests. Jeff truly was there capturing every single moment he could and most of the time he was a one man show! The most impressive thing for my guests was his slide show of the pictures from the day. As he took photos they were shown on a slide show at the reception. It was so neat and unique. Everyone loved to see what had happened earlier in the day since not everyone attended the ceremony. Jeff's 2 week policy is fantastic. He was so quick to have my photos ready to go and our photo book ready to share. I am so excited for the photo book. It was so easy to do as Jeff takes your comments and works through the building process with you to make it a perfect fit for you! He is so easy to work with and is quick with getting your photos back to you. If you are in the Dayton/Cincinnati area, do yourself a favor and hire Jeff Shaefer as your photographer. You won't be disappointed and he will take away some stress from your most special day! More...

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. More...

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. More...

Together we came up with a time line and had everything planned out creating a stress free day! He had great examples/ opinions on where to go before the ceremony. He also knew the ins and outs for example if we needed to have a permit for a specific spot or if we needed to give a deposit to reserve a place! We had a plan A and then a plan B just Incase the weather was an issue. I loved this because I felt like no matter what was going on with the weather I was still going to have great pictures and I did! The pictures were amazing and we get tons of compliments on them!
