Affordable Photography By Jeff Pistana

Jeff is amazing! We needed a photographer for a small wedding celebration at short notice. Jeff was available and he did an outstanding job. Our family was all very impressed by the quality of pictures. Additionally, Jeff was easy to work with, very professional, and affordable. We were wowed. I highly recommend Jeff and we will certainly call on him again for future photography needs.

We hired Jeff for our wedding because he worked for an hourly rate rather than only selling big wedding packages we didn’t want.
Jeff got good pictures of all of our family and of all the important times during the wedding. He was completely professional and inconspicuous, yet was there to arrange people to get the groups we needed. He was very good with waiting through the teenagers goofing off while they posed for pictures.
In short, professional work at a fair price.

I can’t believe I’m only the second person to review Photography by Jeff Pistana, early bird gets the worm I guess!
When organizing my parents surprise 50^th Wedding Anniversary we researched multiple photographers and selected Jeff because his prices were so incredibly reasonable (He starts at $ 75.00 for 2 hours — no kidding!) and he made an effort to explain his services to us. There were no hidden costs or surprises about not being able to keep and own every picture like many photographers these days tend to do to suck more money out of you. Plus, his portfolio displays a wide range of both perfectly posed shots and tender candid shots.
The day of the surprise party, he showed up on time, dressed appropriately for the fancyness of the event (I’ve seen wedding photogs show up in ripped jeans and tennis shoes before! C’mon, that’s unacceptable!) and had an uncanny ability to make everyone who had just met him feel absolutely at ease during the experience. Jeff helped bring out our family’s…how shall I say, «eccentric» personality and provided us with warm, lasting memories of that day.
He graciously handled challenges, making the best of difficult situations, such as a lack of lighting at our venue towards the end, after the sun had set and displayed thoughtfulness and patience as we tried to coordinate over 30 family members in various groupings. We never felt rushed and the photos came out phenomenal since we were all so at ease, and excited to be there. He definitely went above and beyond the call of duty.
One of the more subtle qualities of Jeff was how none of the guests even noticed he was there, he was so unobtrusive and stealthy yet we have pictures of everyone and everything that happened! He has this keen way of capturing the moment without being obvious or in anyone’s way. He devoted so much of his time, energy and talent to making my parents 50^th such a success and went far beyond our expectations.
We now have so many greats pictures displayed throughout all the children’s houses and to share with friends and family as well as creating family heirlooms for the little ones for the future. Thanks for the timeless memories!!!
We even had some questions regarding the timing of our parent’s arrival and wished to get their reactions to the surprise captured as thoroughly as possible and Jeff promptly answered all of our phone calls and emails. The day after the event Jeff provided us with all the photos on a disc and stuck around to make sure we could open and access them. We were shocked to receive them so quickly and are very happy with them. Jeff got so many ridiculously AMAZING candid shots and portraits that day, My parents could not be happier with the photos.
Jeff has also done some exceptional food shots for me when I had an urgent need for my cookbook. I was at the point of telling my publisher I would have to miss a deadline but then called Jeff who fit me into his already busy schedule and was able to set up the shoot at my house. Jeff knew precisely how to angle the camera to convey the true integrity of the dishes I prepared and was able to hand me a zip drive with over 100 pictures within two hours. He also made sure that the photos were what I wanted. I love that he shows you the pictures on his camera as he’s taking them to make sure you are pleased and will do a retake if you like.
To say I am happy with Jeff’s work is an understatement, his friendly demeanor and sincerity in pleasing his client’s will keep me coming back as long as he’s in business. It’s remarkable that such a talented photographer doesn’t have a snooty attitude, which I have has the displeasure of seeing all too often. Jeff is very humble and natural, a powerful quality in someone who is so good at what he does.
Best prices you will ever find, combined with polite, thoughtful service and great pictures is what you get with Jeff. I won’t hire any other photographer.
