About Us

My wife Holly and I have been blessed with three wonderful children... Helene, Cole, and Grant... and 2 cats.

We run Jeff Schaefer Photography out of our home and it is our sole occupation. It's great that Holly and I can be together and with the kids while working, other than when at a photo shoot. Believe it or not, there is a lot to do in addition to the photography sessions. But, I love what I do, and hardly consider it 'work'.

I began studying photography in 1993 at the University of Cincinnati. I graduated with a degree in computer programming, not photography, but my passion for photography was set. I studied photography as a hobby over the next 8 years, only dreaming of a career in it, never considering wedding photography.

Then, in 2001 a friend asked me to photograph her wedding in New York City, and I was hooked.

Prior to her wedding, that same friend introduced Holly and me. So Anne... thanks for my family and my career!!!

I love the fast pace of weddings and the unique variations each wedding brings. For a photographer, wedding photography combines so many styles of photography... portraiture, fashion, photojournalism, action, landscape, architecture, still-life, and fine-art. On a wedding day I get to wear many hats... business professional, keen observer, storyteller, director, coordinator, even psychologist... all under a lot of pressure. There's never a dull moment, and every wedding is different.

We made photography our sole occupation with the start of 2009 and couldn't be happier. We love what we do and are thankful for so many awesome clients!

I hope to hear your wedding story soon!

Jeff
