There aren't enough positive things to say about our experience with Jeffrey. He truly made our day unforgettable! Beginning with the moment that we met him in the lobby of our hotel, he brought an extremely contagious positive energy that drove the remainder of the day. From getting dressed to making our way to the venue, the afternoon was an awesome adventure. The real magic was allowing Jeffery to lead with his creativity - the results were breathtaking and we had an incredible time running around the city with him. Jeffrey captured our ceremony and reception unobtrusively - we didn't realize during the night just how many photos he had taken and how many different places he seemed to be at once. His approach allowed us to actually enjoy our evening; he captured us and our guests in true form. Even candid photos were taken with artistic consideration. Working with him was such a pleasure that many of our family and friends thought that we knew him personally! The quality of his work extends well past the photographs that he provides. Leading up to the wedding he always responded promptly to emails, provided advice when needed, and even helped us plan our 'day-of' timeline. The day after our wedding we received an email with a link to a teaser album on his facebook page. Six days post-wedding, we had received all of the proofs along with a mock version of our photo album. Discussing edits for the album with Jeffrey was extremely smooth and timely and we are now awaiting the final album to arrive in as little as two weeks! We couldn't be more satisfied with the service that JLB has provided us. These beautiful and unique photographs really capture us and our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. Hiring Jeffrey is one of the best wedding decisions we made and we cannot recommend him enough. Although JLB Wedding may be higher than most couples' photography budget (dealing with a limited budget ourselves we were initially hesitant), the pictures are absolutely priceless and well worth the money spent. Anyone questioning the cost should seriously reconsider if preserving the day is a priority. Every photograph is a story and Jeffrey did an amazing job telling ours! read more

Where to start? You know your getting amazing photos just buy looking at JLB's website for a minute! We booked for our engagements and wedding. Our engagement session was a breeze, either of us never being photographed before, we still felt at ease, with his relaxed and carefree style! But you certainly dont receive carefree photos, somehow he manages to maintain a light attitude but deliver hardcore works of art! Typically, everybody wants photos for their engagements and wedding, but if you want works of art, hire JLB. Yes, you still get those, essential photos for the wedding, but you will also have your choice of beautiful works of art to display on your wall! After shooting our engagements, I felt even more comfortable going into our wedding, in his hands. Right from the start we were pressed for time, and knowing how amazing the photos are we wanted to get in as many as possible. I cant tell you how much JLB hustled, and whipped people into shape to capture as many pictures as possible. This was another side of him I didnt know yet. You end up with a carefree and relaxed individual who gets down to business when needed. Our family is very large, and taking photos has been an hour event many times, I believe JLB shot all our family is 10-15 minutes. Impressive. We received our teaser photos in lighting fast time, and we were able to share the moments with friends and family. Your wedding will fly by I promise that, and typically the only thing you have after its all done, is photos to help trigger your memories. Do not skimp on photos. With JLB you will be doing the opposite of cutting corners. You will be ensuring you have lasting memories, works of art, and all your friends and family being jealous of YOUR photos! Our wedding album is designed to perfection, JLB's graphic design skills definitely excelled here! Honestly, you'd be foolish not to hire JLB if you live in the Metro-Detroit area.Thanks for being amazing JLB!!! read more

What drew me to Jeffrey was his artistic approach to event photography--while looking through his portfolio, I noticed how nothing was ever too staged or forced. The personality of the couple is always well represented. Since we had him photograph our wedding, I know now that that particular quality is made possible by his positive and laid-back yet professional nature--which made us feel at ease the entire day. It was like hanging out with an old friend! My husband has been a groomsmen in 5 weddings and, in those experiences, he felt really pestered by the photographers, so he was very concerned with how it would go--but with Jeffrey, it was a totally different and wonderful experience for us both. He was always mindful of what was going on throughout the day and was super easy to work with. For example, we had an unexpected spring snow storm on the day of our wedding and between his pictures and the animated gifs, he turned that situation into the most desirable one ever; we are so glad he was in charge of documenting everything! Jeffrey is an incredibly charming and talented photographer--we had a beautiful wedding at the Detroit Athletic Club but when anyone asks me what my favorite part of the experience was, I always say JLB! Thanks again!! read more

It's not an exaggeration to say that working with Jeffrey was one of the highlights of our wedding. He came to Chicago to shoot our engagement photos, and from the first few minutes with him, it felt like going back and forth between hanging out with a dear friend and him being invisible so that we could be intimate, romantic and natural for his photos. The three of us had such a blast that day. If anyone would have told me that one of the favorite parts of getting married was getting engagement photos taken, I never would've believed them...w/JLB, believe it! :) For our wedding at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI, his intimate knowledge of the 'sweet spots' for photos in the museum made our photo shoot the day of the wedding smooth, effortless and stress-free. We all felt comfortable (maybe TOO comfortable) to be ourselves from the first shot to the last dance, and we (and folks who ask to see our photos) continue to rave about his work: each one a beautiful window into a magical day. Above and beyond all other vendors we had for our wedding (and we had some great ones), the first word out of our mouths whenever we're asked about things we loved about our wedding is "JLB"! Thanks again, Jeffrey! :) read more

This guy is a true artist and captured our wedding better than we could have ever expected. If you are looking for a true artist to capture your day, have your pictures stand out, and be better than any you've ever seen before, then look no further. He is also a blast to work with. He knows how to get the best shots and does it quick. He has a great sense of humor and makes you feel very comfortable the whole day. He also truly listens to what shots you want to accomplish and he makes it happen. You dont need a plan with him, just pick a area you like and show up and he will lead you to amazing shots and help you have a great time while you do it. We did both a engagement session and a full day of photos at our wedding and I highly reccommend you do the same! Worth every penny although jeffrey is very reasonably priced considering how superior his work is. Do both and keep him around for the whole day. You wont regret it! Stop reading this review and book him before someone else gets your date! Cheers! Best in the biz. read more

Our wedding was July 17th, 2011 and we're still talking about how amazing JLB was on our wedding day. When researching photographers for our wedding we searched high and low and on a recommendation we found JLB. Their website is full of photo galleries to browse, loaded with package & pricing information and overall very well put together. From our first meeting with Jeff to today he has been nothing but helpful and insightful. On our wedding day he helped us keep the day flowing without being intrusive whatsoever. There isn't enough that could be said about the quality of the photos! So many friends and family members have commented on how amazing and unique our photo album is! If you want every cent to count I'd go with JLB - they're professional, experienced, friendly and fun! read more

When my wife and I planned our 2005 wedding, one of our priorities was to choose a quality photographer, regardless of cost. We both placed high value in exceptional wedding photos to capture our big day. After meeting with many photographers all over Southeast Michigan, the choice was easy. What we found in JLB Wedding was unmatched quality at a very reasonable price, resulting in an outstanding value. I could go on and on with the experience but let me summarize in that every expectation was far exceeded. Do yourself a favor and check out JLB Wedding. Make your wedding plans even easier by just booking JLB and check the wedding photographer off your "to-do list." You will not be disappointed! read more

You will not find a more dedicated or determined photographer than JLB. Dedicated because they go above and beyond and determined because they won't stop until it's done right. They photographed our daughter's wedding in 2005 and we could not have been more pleased. Their work is very thoughtful, extremely creative, and their photographs are beautiful. The photos captured the day detail by detail, from beginning to end and still serve as a reminder what a beautiful day that was. As an added bonus, they were very patient and had a very calming effect on a very hectic day - a rare but in my opinion, a very necessary quality in a wedding photographer! I recommend them without reservation. read more

I really can't say enough for how wonderful Jeffery was! We had an interesting situation in that we lived in Cleveland, but were getting married in Chicago. Our plan was to get our engagement photos near Cleveland and our wedding photos in Chicago. So... we found the perfect fit in Jeffery. He did such a wonderful job blending our ideas with his, and made it such a seamless process. We loved how everything turned out (we may have even spent too much time looking at our photos) and are so happy we found him. And also, his sidekick, Ben, we awesome! So if you are looking for great photos and an easy process, look no further. Jeffery was the best! read more

It was great working with JLB! On our wedding day, he was organized, relaxed, and we received multiple compliments from the bridal party about how much they enjoyed working with him. He was both accommodating and had so many great ideas throughout the day. He had an amazing creative eye, which produced some awesome pictures. He posted our teaser pictures the day after our wedding and we had the online gallery by the end of the week. We are so happy with our pictures, as they look amazing. We highly recommend JLB! read more

JLBwedding is the best money you can spend on your wedding. Save money on some other part of the wedding, this is by far the best thing you can do. We hired Jeffrey to do a story session and over every other part of our wedding, JLB's pictures are what we have to commemorate and remember a very special time for us. Jeffrey is a master of his craft. He knows how to frame an image and how to make you feel comfortable even if you aren't used to being in front of the camera. You simply cannot get better than this. read more

Jeff is brilliantly talented and you will look gorgeous as will everyone else at the wedding! We are insanely happy with these pictures. My mom said it best "These are the wedding pictures most people hope to get and never do." Easy to work with and you get beautiful natural shots. He has great eye for composition and your photos will look unique. I wish he did other pictures as I would always use him. Of all the money you spend for a wedding, this money is well spent! read more

Great experience. He is very laid back and he gives lots of directions. Jeffrey comes up with a ton of great ideas on the spot. You will definitely get a good amount of great, unique shots. His work really speaks for itself, just take a look at his website. I suggest looking through his engagement and wedding pictures to get ideas before your shoot. No regrets having Jeffrey shoot our engagement and wedding pictures. Everyone enjoyed having him be part of our big day. read more

Jeff photographed my wedding in January '10. He was INCREDIBLE! Not only are the pictures beautiful, artistic and timeless, but he was extremely fun and easy to work with, and very professional - many of my guests commented on how courteous he was. I was also on a tight budget (sans wedding planner) so Jeff even took the initiative when needed to help the event run smoothly! Will always treasure my photos...they are so creative and unique. Thanks Jeff! read more

We love our wedding photos and we loved working with Jeffrey! He has a great eye for composition, and knew just where to take us for our pre-ceremony photographs. His direction was fantastic -- we never felt overly staged or posed, and he seemed to want to capture the real "us." And he was so unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception that we barely noticed he was there. And yet we have the beautiful photos to prove it! Definitely hire him! read more

Our wedding was August 2012...Jeffery was amazing. I love photography myself so I was wanting an "artistic eye." Not only is he super laid back and chill, but he makes it really easy to be in front of the camera. I strongly recommend his services. He also designed my entire album for me, which I think everyone should allow him to do (since he is the expert) and I couldn't be happier.... read more
