I started photographing weddings in 2003 and eventually left my day job as a designer to do photography full-time, but I’ve never been able to turn the designer off. In addition to photos, I create a few animated gifs from every session. My style is influenced by design principles, architecture, Edward Hopper paintings, plus films by Stanley Kubrick & Denis Villeneuve. While composing I put as much attention into the scene as the subjects. I prefer to cover events solo and do my own editing, posting teasers the next day. I’m based in the Detroit area but cover weddings all over America.

JLB Photographer
I’m an inclusive photographer with a fine-art style focused on design, architecture, composition, dramatic lighting, and genuine emotion.








20 Reviews for JLB
As a same-sex couple, we cannot overstate how comfortable and celebrated he made us feel. Many photographers default to traditional, heteronormative poses, but Jeffrey understood how to guide us with direction that felt natural, confident, and tailored to us. We are not naturally great at posing, and his clear, precise guidance was invaluable.
His artistry is undeniable. He captured it all—the emotional candid moments, the striking editorial shots, the architectural and design details, and even elevated portraits of our guests. These were far from simple photo booth snapshots; they are images our friends and family are genuinely excited to share, print, and frame in their own homes.
Beyond the beauty of each photo, his work has a timeless quality. While so many photographers lean into trends, Jeffrey’s images feel classic and enduring, the kind of heirlooms we know our kids and grandkids will cherish.
Jeffrey also collaborated seamlessly with our videographer and other vendors, ensuring everything flowed smoothly. He managed the timeline during the first half of the day, which gave us the rare gift of disconnecting completely from our phones and watches. On top of that, his turnaround time was unbelievable. We received a large set of images the very next day, which allowed us to immediately share with loved ones and relive the celebration.
And it wasn’t just us who felt this way. Within days of the wedding, our friends and family were texting us unprompted to rave about him. Here are a few of our favs:
“BEYOND impressed with Jeffrey. He is a legend of his craft.”
“That Jeffrey guy is THE GUY.”
"Does your photographer travel? We NEED him at our wedding."
“Kris Jenner works hard but JLB works harder.”
Jeffrey is not only a phenomenal photographer but also the kind of person you want by your side on the most important day of your life. Book him now before someone else does.
Things got even better once we met in person for a pre-wedding/engagement shoot. We were so nervous about taking professional photographs, but JLB made us feel instantly comfortable. Within minutes, we were having so much fun running around town, listening to JLB's instructions, and taking museum-worthy photos.
Fast-forward to the wedding, and his approach was no different: he captured all of the right moments in picture-perfect fashion, all while being super organized and super friendly.
We can't wait to look back at these photos again and again in the years to come. We can't recommend JLB enough!
He really cares about his art and his effort showed. We've received nothing but glowing complements about our wedding photos - Jeffrey goes above and beyond to find unique shots. The gifs were fun and his custom color processing was great, too; it let us choose which mood we liked best for each photo.
