Calgary Photographer & Videographer

Intimate Banff, AB Wedding

Hi. I'm Jeff.

I’m lucky enough to document some big life moments for people.

I believe that the best photos and films are candid. It’s when you’re being yourself and forget all about the camera. It’s about ALL of those in between moments.

Not planned. Not posed. Just real moments captured in the most beautiful way possible.

Jeff did such a great job with our wedding video! He was very responsive and easy to work with leading up to our wedding, and he was so lovely to hang out with the day of. We've been to many weddings where the photo/video team is sometimes intrusive or 'in the way' in seek of a perfect shot, but Jeff managed to capture all these beautiful moments in such a discrete way such that we had guests comment that they didn't even realize there was a video/photo team! Jeff's services were a perfect fit for us as we wanted a typical video but also really wanted the speeches in full and he was happy to provide this. He provided excellent value for the price too. The finished product is beautiful, suits us beautifully, and is so cherished already!

Jeff took my engagement photos and I was very impressed with them. He really knows how to make the experience fun and stress free. His knowledge and expertise made the photos great because he knew exactly the time of day to take them, and the best poses for an engagement shoot outdoors. The compliments I have received from the photos are endless. They are truly something I will treasure for the rest of my life. If your looking for a master behind the lens, I recommend Jeff!

Hiring Jeff was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! He made us feel so comfortable and we didn't even notice his behind the scenes capturing of our most important moments. He even worked with our photographer assisting some of her shots. Our cinematic wedding video is an absolute masterpiece which made us and all of our family cry as it perfectly brought us back to our day. The full ceremony and speeches videos were also excellent quality and filming. He captured everything we had asked and more and we couldn't believe how incredible the end product was. We will treasure these videos for our entire lives. Highly highly recommend!! Thank you Jeff!!

Unbeatable videographer for our Canmore wedding! If you are searching for a videographer who ticks all of the boxes, Jeff is it. After an arduous search, we settled on Jeff because of his videography/editing style, which we could see was professional, cinematic, and tasteful without being forced or overdone. We also really liked that he offers full-length footage of key wedding moments such as the ceremony and speeches, in addition to the optional highlight reel. What we didn't yet know, but quickly found out was how wonderful he would be to work with on the wedding day. His personality is kind, helpful and easy-going. Take note! This is SO important on a busy wedding day with so many moving pieces. We found out last minute we were missing an HDMI-to-USB-C adapter, and he kindly brought one and lent it to us. Overall, he really helped to make our wedding day less stressful and more enjoyable. He doesn't work on a set number of hours, but when the wedding ran a bit late because the hotel made a mistake with the food, he stayed longer to make sure he got the footage he needed. He was flexible with us when discussing which package to go with - we initially signed up with his basic package and decided closer to the wedding to upgrade to include a highlight reel. We were happy that we asked for the highlight reel - it turned out spectacularly. His thoughtful attention to detail was evident in the editing of the final video. He was also responsive to some requests we made afterwards, and updated the videos accordingly. In the end, he wound up giving us many "bonuses" that technically fell outside of the contract, but Jeff is just the kind of vendor who is willing to go above and beyond to make the client happy. Fully recommend! Update: Looking back at our video almost a year later. It is perfect and captured the magic of the day so beautifully.

Jeff was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for our wedding in September. Despite our wedding day falling on literally THE hottest day of the year (37 degrees + forest fire), Jeff was so professional, positive, and so easy to work with. He made us and everyone around us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. And of course, his work is amazing! We love our videos and you can tell he puts so much thought and effort into every single shot. We are so happy that he was there to perfectly capture our day. 100% would recommend Jeff if you're looking for a talented videographer to capture your special day!
