About JLB Wedding Photography

JLB Wedding Photography

Owner / Photographer

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.

I’m routinely told that working with me is easy, fun, and relaxing. Plus your photos won’t look like everyone else’s. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a wide variety of weddings, straight and gay, involving various flavors of the world’s religions and cultures: Christian, Muslim, Judaism, Buddhism, Orthodox, Catholic, Atheist, Chinese, Egyptian, Chaldean, Persian, Nigerian, Indian, Pakistani, etc. If your wedding is something I’ve never experienced that makes me really excited.

Hire JLB!

Hiring JLB Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. Jeffrey photographed our December 2025 wedding at Cafe Brauer, and we couldn't be happier with the experience from start to finish. We first worked with Jeffrey for our engagement shoot, and honestly, we were nervous—posing for photos in public isn't exactly our comfort zone. But Jeffrey's calm, easygoing demeanor put us completely at ease. By the end of the session, we were actually having fun, and we walked away with so many incredible shots. On our wedding day, Jeffrey continued to work his magic. He was professional, unobtrusive, and somehow managed to capture every meaningful moment. As a gay couple, we encountered vendors throughout our wedding planning who didn't quite know how to work with us—whether it was awkward assumptions or just a general lack of experience. Jeffrey was different from the start. He was natural, affirming, and made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera. That meant everything to us. We can't recommend JLB Photography highly enough. If you're looking for a photographer who combines talent, professionalism, and genuine warmth, Jeffrey is your guy.
More Than Photos — Truly an Amazing Experience

We honestly can’t say enough good things about JLB. When we first found him and saw all the perfect reviews, we both wondered, “Okay… what’s the catch?” But after working with him, we realized there isn’t one. He really is THAT good. He traveled all the way to Charlotte for our engagement session, which already meant a lot to us. And from the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease — which is saying something because we’re definitely not people who usually love photos of ourselves. But these? We absolutely love them. Like genuinely LOVE them. What surprised us most is that it was more than just taking and getting pictures. The whole session felt like an experience. He made it fun, natural, and honestly something we’ll remember forever. He somehow captured us in a way that didn’t feel posed or forced — just real moments, real connection. The photos feel like art, but at the same time they feel like us. And the turnaround time? So fast. We were blown away by how quickly he delivered such beautiful work. Overall, the experience was incredible from start to finish. We left not just with amazing photos, but with the feeling that we got more than we even realized we were signing up for. We’re so grateful we chose him, he is a genuinely good person to be around, and we are even more excited now for him to shoot our wedding!!

I was immediately drawn to Jeffrey’s creative and artistic style — his portfolio stood out from every other photographer I came across, especially with the unique GIFs he creates. He did not disappoint! He was incredibly thorough throughout the entire planning process, taking the time to build a detailed timeline of our wedding day and reviewing it with us to make sure everything ran seamlessly. On the day of, he balanced his creative vision with professionalism — capturing stunning, artistic shots while also being amazing at posing everyone so we all looked our best. He’s also one of the most personable photographers I’ve ever met, making everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. And his turnaround time is unbelievable — I had edited photos and GIFs to share within 12 hours, and our full gallery was delivered in less than two weeks. I couldn’t recommend him more!
Everything we could have asked for and more

We had the pleasure of meeting JLB in the dead of winter for our engagement shoot, and despite the below-freezing temperatures, his commitment to capturing the perfect shots never wavered. As two people who had absolutely no idea how to pose for pictures, we were amazed at how effortlessly he directed his vision and brought it to life — making us look like absolute naturals in front of the camera! JLB’s professionalism, creativity, and patience truly set him apart. We couldn’t be happier with the results and have already had multiple guests at our wedding ask for his contact information for when they have their big day comes. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, we cannot recommend JLB enough. A true 10/10 experience.
