    Mind-blowing. Phenomenal. An artist. A breath of fresh air. Just wow.

    Jeff. JLB. JEFF. I cannot believe I was a client of JLB. No like seriously. JLB will take your wedding experience to levels you never imagined could exist. Our wedding felt like a Hollywood movie, straight out of a magazine. While we’re talking with our guests and my mom is gushing on the phone with my grandma overseas Jeff is bouncing in the room taking photos left right and Center. He is so very organized, super duper kind, takes pride in his creativity and knows how to get a couple comfortable. Not only that, he also knows how to carry himself in large bridal parties with so many distractions, he walks through every single challenging situation like a breeze, including chasing a 10 foot veil in the air to capture the most perfect shot (true story and my veil was safe and sound and the picture was a thousand times worth it) I cannot emphasize how incredibly humbled I am to have been JLB’s client and I am looking forward to hiring him for every single event moving forward. Thank you Jeff, we truly love you and loved working with you. Alia & Mohamed

    The Best in the Biz

    One look at his website and you know he has an absolute gift. I have never met someone with such talent, yet an incredibly calm and relaxing personality. He captured moments we didn't see and feelings I never thought could be expressed through film. Jeffrey is an incredible person and he'll make you feel the same way.

    Speechless. You'll never be able to look at wedding photos the same way ever again.

    Wow, wow, wow, we literally can't say enough good things about our experience working with Jeffrey. His photos are absolutely stunning and are unlike any other wedding photos we've seen before (and not just because he does GIFs too!). His framing is impeccable, the emotions he captures, the colors and textures he brings to life. Every photo is so dynamic and dramatic and visceral. We saw our sneak peeks and were absolutely speechless.

    Not only is he an amazing artist, but he was so easy to work with. Right from the beginning, he made an effort to learn everyone's names and put us all at ease. We were chatting and laughing with him before long, just as if he was another one of our friends or family members at the wedding. He made us feel totally relaxed in front of the camera. We absolutely recommend working with him. You won't regret it.

    Don't think twice...hire JLB

    JLB, Jeffrey, has been one of the greatest decisions of our wedding! We knew we wanted excellent pictures and did a LOT of research in looking for the perfect fit photographer...and we found Jeffrey. He is very confident, personable, kind, and professional! He keeps communication open at all times. Due to our work schedules and us being in FL, we thought it would be very difficult to communicate with our photographer, but Jeffrey has an online google doc portal that makes planning locations for photography very easy! Not only that he completely takes the stress off your shoulder on wedding day! He takes the lead and knows exactly to do for exquisite photos (memories for a lifetime)! JLB is definitely worth the investment! Can't say enough about him!

    JLB did a fantastic job with our engagement pictures. Very professional, put us at ease, and delivered a product that was exceptional much more quickly that we had anticipated. We were thrilled with the results!
    The gifs provided were a nice touch as well. Highly recommended to all.

    Best decision you can make!

    I cannot say enough great things about JLB! I had admired his work for the longest time so when it was my time to get married it was a no brainer to use him for photography. He is a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The planning is stress free and I had total confidence going into the day with him. He kept us focused on the day of so we could get the shots we wanted yet used his creative mastermind to get awesome pictures when seeing an opportune shot!
    The sneak peek - which is a good amount of pictures - was displayed within 24 hours. Our guests were blown away and we could not have been happier. JLB is a true artist and will not disappoint!

    Perfect all around

    JLB was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The photos were gorgeous and he was a blast to work with on the day of. He's very organized and communicative. Highly Recommend!

    Highly recommend JLB!

    Jeffrey is so incredibly talented. We live out of state and we weren't able to meet Jeffrey until our wedding day, but he was still able to instantly put us at ease. Typical of Michigan, we experienced pretty bad weather, but Jeffrey was a trooper and stood out in the pouring rain/hail/snow with 30mph wind gusts to ensure we had amazing shots outside. He took full advantage of the periods of good weather we had and was creative – like when he incorporated an umbrella and had us walk out beyond the barn to capture some amazing shots with the farm in the background. Even without a second shooter, Jeffrey was able to capture every important moment and we could not be more thankful that we have so many gorgeous photos to remember our special day. He posted an amazing teaser board of photos and gifts within a day that we were able to share with family and friends. His gifs are unique and were a great way to capture special moments between my husband and I throughout the day. Cannot recommend JLB enough!

    Hands down best wedding investment!

    We didn't want a lot of staged stiff shots for our big day. We wanted someone who could really capture the moment and energy of the day, and boy oh boy did JLB deliver. We did a first look and the early afternoon the with our bridal party zipping around Detroit before the ceremony and reception. The photos are phenomenal! Every single one captures where we were in that moment. They are vibrant, and full of life, they truly are works of art. Not only does JLB deliver on the quality, but the turnaround time is truly unbelievable. We had our teasers within 24 hours, and everything else within the week. I've heard of people having to wait weeks /months. We weren't even back from our honeymoon when we got the rest of the proofs. We posted our teasers on Facebook, and our guests and friends have not stopped gushing about how they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. We also took advantage of the fact that JLB does gifs, which I highly recommend! Your wedding day goes by so fast, so I'm thrilled that we have amazing photos to look back on our day. Hands down JLB was worth every penny.

    If you want the best, go with JLB

    Jeffrey is the best! His photos are top notch. If you haven't already, check out (and follow) his Instagram.

    Jeffrey really impressed us in our engagement shoot. We had planned some shoots by a waterfall, but when we arrived we found out that the way had been blocked by a huge fence. Jeffrey was so dedicated to the shoot that we agreed to climb it, then down a huge cliff, and over wet river rocks to get the photos. And they turned out great!

    On our wedding day, we had to battle 30+ MPH winds and shifting light. Again, our shots came out great. But most of all, Jeffrey was great at helping us stay comfortable through the process. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

    "If there is a competition for photographers, Jeffrey should win. He really made us feel special on our day. He made it clear we were the number one priority. All shots we wanted were captured plus more. His GIFs are amazing. His creativity is brilliant. He works alone but you would think there was a team of photographers with him. He helped calm our nerves and made us laugh. Choosing Jeffrey was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If I was a photographer as good as him, I would charge double because that's how good he is. Our bridal party and guests were very impressed with his work. Our photos are genuinely glorious. He's the best in Michigan. Period."

    Amazing, friendly, unique, and timeless!

    There are four adjectives that describe working with Jeffrey in the title of this review, but I could probably generate 100 more. His work is a mix between classic and contemporary, which makes for unique photos that you will be happy to look back on for years to come. It was also incredibly important to us to have not just an LGBT-friendly, but LGBT-affirming photographer, and Jeffrey was that in spades.

    If you want someone to capture the best day of your life and allow you to re-live it every time you look at a photo, then hire Jeffrey.

    Hiring Jeffrey to handle our wedding photos was by far the best decision Ryan and I could have made. He kept us laughing and he managed to find a way to capture our personalities in picture form. I can't say enough good things about him and his work, his photos speak for themselves. If you're considering hiring JLB to capture the most important moments of your life, don't think about it, just do it.

    JLB made our wedding day :)

    Having JLB as our photographer was the number one thing I wanted for our wedding day (I knew this even before I was even engaged). You can see his photography is phenomenal, and he is just as amazing to work with. Everything felt so natural, he kept us laughing all day, and even our family and friends spoke about how great he was. My husband does not particularly enjoy taking pictures, and he said it was his favorite part of the day. He couldn't stop talking about it for weeks to come, and said choosing JLB was the overall best decision we made for our wedding. I couldn't have agreed more. He captured so many wonderful moments that we will treasure forever. Book him now! You will be so happy you did :)

    JLB was absolutely amazing! When choosing a photographer we were really looking for someone unique who's style we loved. JLB was just that, with all the amazing shots he got of us and especially the GIFS, he left us with so many amazing memories. On top of the amazing photography JLB's laid back personality really brings some calm to the craziness of your wedding day.

    Photography is an art for Jeffrey.

    We weren't looking for a standard wedding photographer to do the standard deal. We wanted someone with an open, creative mind who would be excited about capturing our nontraditional wedding, and Jeffrey did just that. He was professional from our first video chat during which he asked us detailed questions about our vision. He paid attention to every aspect-- lighting, timing, transportation, etc. He is clearly experienced and poised. We couldn't be happier with our memories!

    We feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Jeffrey early in our planning adventure -- because there simply is no comparison. Highest caliber, hands down. Jeffrey is the difference between checking the box VS choosing the ultimate; phoning it in VS doing it right; same ole VS utterly imaginative; cookie-cutter VS outright art.

    We could go on, and on and on.

    We knew from the beginning we had rightly chosen to work with the best in the business. We were not interested in doing things in a customary way. We were not interested in photos that looked like everyone else's. We wanted to be able to look to, trust entirely and be completely thrilled with the outcome. AND, to have our guests feel the same way. In addition to creating a powerful collection of photos of me and Blake, he captured the romance and rich character of our beloved community of family in friends, photo upon photo -- including through some powerful collages that really showcase everything going on in that room on that night, the best night of our lives.

    Working with Jeffrey was an exceptionally professional, organized, respectfully collaborative and thrilling process. And we are not even completely done yet! We've got our teasers and gallery in hand and are just in the process of ordering prints, creating albums and more. As he knows, and we have joked, I'm trying to find ways to draw out working together, because it's been perfect.

    By all accounts: his work is astonishing.

    One of my first and most important decisions to make for my wedding planning was a photographer, and hands down picking Jeffrey was the best decision I made! Jeffrey's work speaks for itself, absolutely amazing, he knows how to tell a story. And above and beyond that he was a pleasure to work with, he makes you comfortable through out the whole process and is a fun addition to your special day! You will also not find a more prompt wedding photographer, getting a preview in 24 hours is amazing, and getting all of your edits back within a week is unheard of, but Jeffrey does just that, and its definitely not a rushed job! Thank you again Jeffrey for photographing our wedding and making the day so special, now we get to relive it forever through your work :)

    I wish I could give Jeffrey more than five stars. I cannot begin to describe how amazing Jeffrey is at his job. Hiring him was the single best decision my husband and I made while planning our wedding. His photography speaks for itself- immensely beautiful, intimate, personal, and artistic. What I really want to comment on is his ease of interacting with me, my husband, our wedding party, and our families. We had never met Jeffrey before our wedding, yet we both felt so comfortable with sharing our wedding day with him. Having been in a few weddings, I know that having your photo taken (hundreds of times, nonetheless) can be awkward and forced, and it shows in the pictures. But Jeffrey knows how to interact with you and your wedding party (and family and guests) to get the best shots. He's not afraid to joke and laugh, while also making sure to read the room to ensure the bride and groom are comfortable and happy with how everything is going. Honestly, Jeffrey helped make our wedding day such a happy and memorable time, and we truly, truly thank him.

    Jeffrey is hands down the best photographer you could choose for your Wedding! Not only is his work incredible, but he is professional, timely, friendly and easy-going! He went above and beyond to know where everyone was at all times, and captured the most AMAZING photos of our day! I am so thankful that we were able to work with him, he is 100% worth it!

    Jeff was one of the best parts of my wedding. On wedding day, everyone is asking questions to the bride, family, etc. Jeff was able to take charge and organize our group as well as work with our wedding planner to perfectly capture everything. Jeff was invaluable and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He was so great that we flew him out to DC from Detriot because he offered a skillset we felt we couldn't find anywhere around here. If you are looking for unique timeless photos, hire Jeff immediately!

    We knew the photographs from our wedding would be the part that stays with us forever, and take us back to the memories from the day, so we knew it was worth investing in the best. Working with JLB, we knew he had an eye for amazing shots and takes care in creating curated albums. After working with him, we have no regrets, as he was professional, prompt, and created beautiful pictures. He also took all of the photos with minimal direction and knew just what we would like. The candid photos captured throughout the day were our favorite, and we don’t even remember seeing him taking the photos when we were just enjoying ourselves. He was like a ninja photographer. Worth every penny.
