Jeff has shot our family Christmas photos for 3 years now. Every year is a wonderful time. Not only do the photos turn out better than any we have ever had done; we all have a great time and that joyful mood shines through in Jeff's work! The locations and ideas he has are so incredible; frolicking in the leaves, brother and sister laughing and playing, mailing letters to Santa, even mom and dad kissing under mistletoe. These photos hang above our fireplace year round, as the quality shines far beyond the holiday season. We will ALWAYS use Jeff for our family photos. read more

We cannot say enough great things about Jeff Cable Photography! Our photos from our son's Bar Mitzvah were incredible and we can't wait to use Jeff for our second son's Bar Mitzvah! Not only is he incredibly talented, but he's very fun to work with and had us constantly laughing! We've already been recommending Jeff to our friends and family and will continue to do so! read more

He blends in so you don't even realize he's there and has an amazing ability to get just the right moment. Jeff is super responsive, easy to work with and makes everyone feel like they are his favorite subject. He got our photos to us so quickly so we could relive our event and reminisce right away. Thank you, Jeff! read more

Jeff is an incredible photographer and so lovely/fun to work with. He helped my team and I capture a beautiful Make-A-Wish event for a young boy and his family/friends, and we all felt like we had been working together for years! Jeff really held it down and covered every angle of the event. his energy was amazing and he turned the amazing photos around so quickly and truly captured the magic of the day. If you're looking for someone fun, responsive, and OH SO TALENTED, look no further - you've found them in Jeff Cable!! read more

Jeff is a talented and experienced photographer who knows how to get the best shots. As an Event Planner, I always love working with Jeff on Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and Weddings. I've worked with him for years and every event has been a home run! read more

These reviews might sound like a broken record but Jeff is really the BEST! He has an incredible eye for the right photo, he moves fast and is seemingly everywhere at your event. But most importantly he is just a joy to have at your event. Years ago we used a "good" photographer for our wedding, but that person ended up being abrasive and added stress to our special day. Jeff in contrast, really enjoys what he does and has that special ability to help ease the stress of a big day. We've had him take photos now at two very important (big) family events -- our daughter's Bat Mitzvah pre-pandemic and our sons' B'nai mitzvah post-pandemic. We won't think twice to book him for any future events and special family moments! read more

Jeff is simply the best. I have a fair amount of experience with professional photographers (my own wedding, three b'nei mitzvahs, yearly family photo shoots) and I can say without any hesitation that Jeff is undoubtedly the best. He is a pleasure to work with through all stages of an event: the planning, the day of and afterward. He's very professional and checks in prior to the event to confirm details. There's something very magical about him as a person. He's warm and calm and inspires everyone to relax and be real in front of the camera. Even teenagers! But he's not obtrusive. He blends seamlessly right into the fabric of the event. And then there are his photos: they are FANTASTIC! Somehow he catches all the special moments with beautiful lighting and lovely composition. He shares your photos with you promptly after the event, having culled through thousands beforehand and selected the best. I was so impressed with him at our first bar mitzvah that I tried to book my next bat mitzvah with him 5.5 years in advance. When I had to reschedule that bat mitzvah, I checked in with him to be sure the new date would work for him. Now that I'm done with b'nei mitzvahs, I'm already thinking of whether he will be available for my oldest child's wedding. I would love to have an excuse to work with him again. I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff to anyone who wants exceptional photos taken by someone who is a complete pleasure to work with. read more

Jeff is a joy to work with. He is professional and makes you feel at ease so that he can capture the perfect expression. He took many different shots to be sure we got the ones we want. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for great headshots or other types of photos. read more

Jeff is hands down one of the best in the business. As an event DJ, I have worked with hundreds of photographers over the years. Few have the professionalism, talent, and grace that Jeff has. Not only is he a joy to work with, but he is insanely talented. In fact, I even utilized some of the amazing photos he took for my dating app profile at the time, which ultimately lead my now fiancee to swipe right. This one is simply a no brainer- book Jeff Cable! read more

Jeff is amazing and super relaxed! he provides the best pictures and he works so well with all the family members so everyone feels happy! he didn't even sleep in order to send us our sons bar mitzvah pictures the following day. he is literally the best!! read more

Jeff is dependable and prompt with the photos. His editing skills and the various photo albums he offers is great! Wedding, senior photos, family reunions, the Olympics or any special event that you want to remember will be captured by Jeff. read more

Jeff just photographed our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and did an amazing job! He captured some wonderful memories with both posed and candid shots throughout our event. The posed shots were beautiful using both the natural setting within the building and fishermans wharf area where we were and captured wonderful candids of our family and guests. He was so great to work with taking time to understand our interests and needs and worked collaboratively with us throughout the planning and the event. We could not have had anyone capture the event better. Thank you Jeff! read more

Jeff is amazing! He not only knows how to capture the best images, his personality helps bring out the best in his subjects. He did my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. The only downside is he takes so many great photos, it's hard to choose. SB read more

Jeff is a fantastic photographer! He has worked with us to capture two different Bar/Bat Mitzvah events- the first a traditional bat mitzvah and big party for our daughter and more recently a Zoom bar mitzvah during covid times for my son. In both cases, he captured phenomenal photos, was professional, personable, and easy to work with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. read more

Jeff is hands down the best person you could ever get to capture your family's most important moments. He's been the photographer to whom we entrusted our daughter's bat mitzvah and senior portraits - as well as both our granddaughters' bat mitzvahs - and soon to our grandsons' as well. Indeed - he's become part of the family! The quality of his work is beyond compare and he is constantly looking to capture those special, stolen moments that capture the genuine emotion of the day. Just be careful - every single one of the photos will be so great - you'll never be able to narrow them down! read more

Jeff Cable is an amazing photographer who is patient, and thinks outside the box. He works hard to capture the perfect photograph with out making it uncomfortable or fake. When he took pictures of my daughters he chose locations that fit their personality and age group. In 2014 my oldest graduated from high school, and we had the opportunity to take pictures at a park and Santana Row. For my youngest daughter graduating from middle school in 2015 we took photos at a trail that had great back drops. What I appreciate the most, is his patience with taking the photographs. He took the time to get to know my daughters to warm them up to getting their photos done. The end result was stunning photographs in their natural element instead of the usual studio photographs that everyone does. I have received numerous compliments with their photographs and while my kids are amazing themselves, I have to give the credit to Jeff Cable with his great eye, and patience. I highly recommend Jeff Cable for any event. Graduation photos to Wedding photos, you will not be disappointed! read more

Jeff is a great photographer... he is also a truly nice guy. I am also a photographer - I call ed him with random questions about event photography software... he spent 20 minutes going over his thoughts about possible solutions for me... very impressive knowledge and super down to earth nice guy! Dan read more

If I could give Jeff 10 stars-- I totally would! I found and booked him 3 years before my son's bar mitzvah ( yes, I am that of a planner!) and I am so happy I did. Jeff is a true Photographer that would do crazy things for a shot! He actually climbed on a ledge in our synagogue to shoot the ceremony from above. He is very personable, makes the kids feel comfortable and gets fun shots. And I love that Jeff has a slideshow running during the party with the pics of ceremony and the party itself. Jeff Cable is the best. Book him early, you won't regret it. read more

Woohoo! Jeff Cable Photography is as good as they come. Jeff was our photographer for our son's bar mitzvah service, luncheon and evening reception and the photographs were fantastic. I searched for a photographer who "fit" with our family's personality and we are so happy that Jeff was that person. He is friendly, efficient, unobtrusive, has a great sense of humor and above all he is a professional. He was able to make a connection with our son, our family and our guests (young and old) and the result was beautiful photographs that expressed all the tenderness, joy and excitement of our son's very special day. We had guests tell us "your photographer is so nice". I don't think people say that often about their photographer. Jeff offers your photo proofs online so that your extended family and guests can order their prints from him directly. His prices on reprints are less than what you will find with other photographers. Another service that he offers is to run a slideshow of the service photographs during the cocktail hour of the reception. We did that and our guests loved it. It was a very nice, calm and classy way to entertain the adults and teens during the cocktail hour. You can rent the screen and projector you need through Jeff and that makes it so convienient. Jeff's wife, Annette Cable, designs the albums and she is as easy to work with as Jeff. Pick up the phone and talk with Jeff, then book him for your event. It will be the easiest decision that you make. read more

Jeff is so talented and by far the best photographer in the business. He is warm, caring, funny, and captures the subjects so well you can feel and see their happiness. He is so easy to work with and very professional in everything he does and delivers. There is no comparison and I am forever grateful to have these photos. read more

We could not be more pleased with Jeff's quality and service. He captured all of the special moments of my son's wedding. If you want the best, look no further. You will not be disappointed. read more

Jeff is amazing! During the COVID isolation, he was willing to come to our home (with 6ft distancing) and capture my son's Bar Mitzvah morning. With a Bar Mitzvah at home, Jeff brought a special vibe to the morning by making my son feel like a rockstar with his photography. He beautifully captured the emotions of the event, including playful photos with face masks. We will forever cherish these photos. While most vendors were focused on the $, Jeff exudes a passion for his art. Jeff even rushed home to capture a few photos of the service on ZOOM. He took it to the next level when he printed out one of the best family portraits, framed it, and dropped it off at our house that afternoon. I can't even capture in words the joy that Jeff provided to our family during this trying time. I will be forever grateful and can't provide a high enough recommendation - 10 out of 5 stars! read more

There isn't a rating system high enough for me to rate Jeff Cable. He's the best of the best and the best in the bay area. I'll put it like this... There is no one... NO ONE... I would trust with capturing our family's precious moments other then Jeff Cable. read more

Jeff's photography is amazing! He has such a keen eye and captures some of the most beautiful photographs I have seen. Jeff has also taken family photos for me and they turned out beautiful. He knew of a great, local park and the perfect time of day for the right lighting. He is willing to go above and beyond to get the right photograph of your family or event. You are sure to be happy if you choose him. read more

We have contracted Jeff for 3 family milestone events, and have always been 100% satisfied. Not only does he do a great job, but also his love of photography is infectious. He has been available and responsive anytime I have had questions, and has even had the patience to evaluate and critique my own work, providing meaningful feedback to make me a better amateur photographer. Jeff is a consummate professional, and we are always calmed to see him there, knowing he will capture beautiful images from our special events. read more

It's hard to decide which you will like best about Jeff: his affable personality, his amazing photography skills, his organized web site, or his expeditious turn around time to view proofs. My wife and I, and the rest of our family and friends that interacted with him during our daughter's bat mitzvah, just loved the experience. read more

The absolute best there is. My wife and I got married this June in Half Moon Bay and we were lucky enough to have Jeff be our photographer. He was incredibly personable, and his family was a huge help when thinking of ideas for photos. Prior to the wedding we had a pre-shoot, as both of us are somewhat camera-shy. Jeff drove up with his wife, and we took a handful of pictures around the venue so he could gauge the best locations. He really helped us loosen up in front of the camera, and prepare for the big day. He captured the entire event flawlessly from start to finish, adding in his own artistic flare to many of the photos. We ended up purchasing something like 20 prints from his website, which was easy to navigate. The whole process was unbelievably professional, as well as fun. There is nobody better in the Bay Area. read more

Jeff took pictures at my niece's Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, June 18th & he did an amazing job. He has a constant smile, takes amazing pictures, & even created a running slide show that we were able to enjoy during the party. I've been to my share of weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, & birthday celebrations & Jeff was by far, the best photographer. read more

Jeff has great patience and an amazing eye. He took pictures for my sons' (plural) shared Bar Mitzvahs. He was creative in his portraits of the kids and excellent at family groupings. Has a knack for getting everyone to look at the same time. Also - really captured the party. I've worked with a number of other photographers and Jeff is hands down a head above the rest... and his prices are very reasonable. read more

Jeff Cable is a terrific photographer in so many ways. The photographs he took were, of course, excellent in quality and creative in composition. But the most important thing to me was that he made me feel relaxed, which resulted in photos that really look like me. The session was not only a lot of fun, the photos were perfect for use in my professional life. read more

We searched the internet for a photographer for our son's and daughter's B'nai Mitzvah ( yes, both at the same time). We all interview Jeff and found him to be both sensitive and caring. We all took a liking to him almost instantly. He photographed the ceremony which was at our house and the evenings party at a hotel. He was really charming as was told to us by several of our guests. The photographs were outstanding and truly captured the essence of the event. I still get a lump in my throat when i see the photographs of the kids. I recommend Jeff highly. Michael S. Los Altos read more

Jeff Cable--- Does it get any better? I don't think so. Wish we can give 10 stars on Yelp because that is what Jeff would get from us. He was highly recommended to me after I had a bad experience with another photographer . Not only is he an incredible photographer and captured every important moment but he is such a pleasure to be around. I was impressed that he just didn't snap photos but worked with the lighting and his flash to get the perfect shots. I look forward to having him at my other son's Bar Mitzvah. Ilene S. read more

Jeff did a family shoot for my husband and I with our 3 young children. He did a wonderful job making our kids comfortable, making it an easier experience for us! He was very patient and realistic of what to expect from kids their age. We are very happy with our photos and hope to work with Jeff again! read more

If you are lucky enough to work with Jeff Cable, it will be the best decision you'll ever make to support your special event. Jeff's incredible talent with the lens is only surpassed by his genuine warmth and caring about you and your event. Jeff recently shot my daughter's Bat Mitzvah - morning and night. Jeff was with us every step of the way. His energy and enthusiasm was contagious. I never doubted for a moment that Jeff was capturing all of the elements of the event that I would want to remember - details and big picture. Jeff almost has a 6th sense to capture the special moments before they even happen. He brought out the best in everyone he caught on camera. He captures the meaning and spirit in each frame, allowing the intimacy and emotion to live on. Jeff will surprise you in the most amazing ways. He turns around photos to you before you've had a chance to recover from the event...even if it means that he's up until midnight retouching and curating. He brought gorgeous photos from the morning service to our evening party....framed!!! I cannot say enough positive things about working with Jeff. He allows the magic of the celebration to continue long after the party is done. I can't wait to work with him again! read more

Jeff recently shot our son's Bar Mitzvah on the Peninsular. Not only is Jeff a true professional and fun to work with - the final images that he captured were unbelievable. Jeff is the best in the business and would highly recommend him for any event. Thanks again! read more

I have never used Jeff as a photographer but have learned so much from his free web videos and seminars. It's easy to see his passion and he seems willing to help in every way possible. read more

Jeff is amazing and wickedly talented! He is also super sweet and personable. You know right away that this is his passion and he loves what he does. Jeff did a photo session with my son pre-bar mitzvah - and took his time to get the best light, camera lens, etc. He's meticulous! Right away he hit it off with my son. They bonded talking about all sorts of tech stuff (that I didn't understand). Jeff really got to know him and our family. You immediately feel at ease with Jeff! He also photographed my son's bar mitzvah service and party. His pictures are phenomenal. The quality is a level above most photographers. He captures the emotions, the fun, the joy, the silly, the sweet - basically, all the endearing moments. His interaction with my family and friends made everyone feel comfortable. Jeff is skilled at being patient. We have a large family and everyone wanted group pictures. Jeff made sure to take the pictures that were important to us as well as those everyone else wanted. We had 200 guests so there were a lot of people to please! His turnaround time is incredible. In between the service and the evening party he made time to retouch a few photos and send them to us. He even gave us a framed family portrait right before the party! Jeff created a slideshow using the morning portraits and service photos during the party on a large screen. If that wasn't enough, the pictures he took during the party were added to the slide show while we were dancing. It was absolutely incredible! A couple days later we received a link to all the pictures! The only difficulty we had was figuring out which pictures we liked the best! I highly recommend Jeff. In fact, I'd like to have another party so I can hire him again! read more

Jeff is simply brilliant. He's shot both my girls Bat Mitzvahs three years apart. He is genuine, enthusiastic, makes the process painless and takes amazing pictures. Can't recommend him more highly. read more

Jeff was the photographer for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Not only were the pictures beautiful he actually made the day less stressful. He smoothly handled the family photos and added so much fun to the party. Friends were asking all night long for his information. We've had friends use him for portraits and they were stunning. He is a very talented photographer and a genuinely nice person. We are using him this fall for our son's Bar Mitzvah. We continue to recommend him to family and friends. read more
