About

Yup, you're here. Finally on the quest for that unicorn photographer you've been on that ardeous journey for.

You know the one, someone who wont break your bank's bank while also not looking like they just bought a point-and-shoot yesterday and thought they will pick up wedding photography.

I understand, that's hard. 'Cause all the good ones costs as much as two arms and 3 legs (rightfully so, to be fair and honest) and the ones in your price range, well, their aesthetic isn't what you're looking for.

Im going to come out and say it, I'm not cheap. But I'm not expensive as two arms and three legs. My photos tell the stories of in love couples having the best time of their lives. And you deserve to have that as well.

Giving my couples confidence and keeping them laughing. It's what I love.

You're getting more than just someone documenting your day. If you're down for kick ass photos, good times, and lots of laughs, well, you're in the right place.

Wanna chat, shoot me a message.

Also, even if you don't like me (and im not crying...that hard) I provide a FREE wedding guide that is PACKED with value helping you to plan your wedding from the photographic standpoint. I have heard A LOT of brides say how helpful it has been, I just hope it can be for you! The bridal guide is pretty fire (that's what the kids say nowadays right?), like I could change $50 for it (but who will buy it, let's be honest lol)!

you can swoop that up here - https://www.jeffthatcher.photography/love-story

Enjoy planning your dream wedding and if you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know! 💍🎉🎊💍🍾💥

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to hearing from you.

Exactly What You Want for an Intimate Elopement

We had the best experience working with Jeff for our elopement. He is such a cool guy and and amazing artist. His style really comes out in his photos.

From the start, he made everything feel easy and natural. We’re not people who are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jeff has a way of making you feel completely at ease, which really shows in the photos.

Jeffs attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of who you are as a couple is what make his photos incredibly special. His style is unique and really stands out from a typical wedding photographer. The photos feel both timeless and fun, which is exactly what we wanted.

We’re so grateful we trusted him with the most important day for us, and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Best Wedding Photographer you could ever ask for!

From the very first meeting with Jeff he made me feel at ease. I had seen his work and absolutely loved it, but his personality is what sealed the deal! Looking through so many photographers it felt very business focused, whereas with Jeff its his true passion and its so amazing to be apart of his craft. He was one of the first vendors I was booking and was so nervous about everything, but after one meeting with him I knew I could put my full trust in him. After receiving my photos, I knew I was right. Jeff captured my wedding so beautifully I was in tears reflecting back at the photos. He truly captured the feel of the moment and his artistic vision for shots, colors, and textures makes the photos next level. You cannot go wrong with hiring Jeff!

Modern, Artistic, and Effortless Wedding Photography

Jeff is truly a master of his craft. We were first drawn to his portfolio for its dramatic lighting and distinctive, artistic perspective. It felt different from the typical wedding photography we were seeing. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Jeff understood our vision, and that confidence carried through our engagement shoot and the wedding day itself. His laid-back personality put us at ease, and we completely trusted him to capture our day.
We’re not used to being in front of the camera, but the engagement session was the perfect trial run. By the time the wedding arrived, we felt comfortable and relaxed, especially after getting to know Jeff over the course of the year. We knew we didn’t want overly posed, traditional photos, and even with the family portraits, Jeff had an incredible ability to capture genuine, animated moments that felt full of life and true to everyone’s personalities.
When we received our gallery, the photos were everything we had hoped for and more. Jeff captured not only the big moments, but also the moments we missed while the day flew by. Looking through the images felt like stepping back into our wedding day, and so many of them felt like genuine works of art rather than just wedding photos.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jeff FTMFW

I found Jeff a few years ago and have hired him for several projects because he just absolutely crushes it, every time. When it came to my wedding, I told Jeff I didn’t want any stale wedding photos. I asked for authentic moments and artsy captures that were solid pics independent of my obvious emotional bias to the day and subject matter- and he delivered. If you need a photography vendor who isn’t uptight, boring, or predictable, Jeff is your guy. Beautiful work, casual, fun vibes, and possibly a new best friend? After our wedding reception, I think Jeff is officially a part of our family now too.

Easy to work with!

Working with Jeff for our wedding photos was amazing! He made sure that we were taken care of from the very beginning. He is very communicative, he made sure that we were all on the same page during our initial meeting. He even checked up on us when we were unsure and followed up with an email to ask questions. During the wedding he was punctual. When we took our photos we felt very comfortable and were impressed of his creativity! He was good at offering direction and capturing the moment during our wedding. I would Highly recommend his services to anyone and I hope to work with him again soon.

Look no further!

Wedding planning in Los Angeles can be a daunting task. One Google review yields thousands of hits. When my now Husband and I started our search for a wedding photographer we were looking for somebody unconventional. We didn't want our photos to look like the copy paste formula that so many people have been posing for for decades. That's when we found Jeff on a random Instagram search. His photos were beautiful, they felt personal, and that's exactly what we were searching for. I reached out right away and from the get go Jeff's communication has always been prompt and informative. After our first zoom meeting, we knew he was the guy that we wanted to work with. He understood what we were trying to capture on our wedding day, the hidden moments. We worked with Jeff for our Engagement Photos, and it honestly felt like the perfect trial run for the wedding. We met in Downtown LA and he instantly put us as ease. It can be nerve wracking to take professional photos on the streets with everyone staring, but Jeff managed to make it feel like it was just us. Our shoot was playful and intimate, and collaborative. I knew we were in good hands. On the day of our wedding Jeff was there right on time capturing all those amazing moments before the ceremony that I know we'll both cherish. From my mom and girlfriends helping me get ready, to our first looks and private vows, right down the aisle. Jeff was extremely patient and professional with our families who were not as comfortable in front of the camera, and once the party started he covered a lot of ground from dancing to party games, and all the love in between. Shooting with Jeff felt like shooting with a friend and that's what every Bride needs on her wedding day. That feeling like they have your best interest at heart. We would shoot with Jeff again and again, and could not recommend him enough. You won't be disappointed.

Easy to work with and brought out the best in us

Jeff was so easy to work with, helped alot when we didn’t know what to do with our hands, got genuine laughs out of us. My husband and I were not used to being in front of a camera and working with a professional but Jeff made us feel like we were all hanging together as friends. He wasn’t disruptive with the day of our wedding just blended in well and took what I wanted for the day of and ran with it. Loved working with him! Will have to find an excuse to hire him again!

Jeff is the BEST!!

We found Jeff when we were looking for a photographer for our engagement photos and wedding! Let me tell you Jeff does not disappoint. His photos are a work of art. They aren’t your ordinary engagement/wedding photos. They have style and really capture each person as they are. We knew we found our photographer when we got on that first call with Jeff. His laid back demeanor and is attention to detail really make you feel comfortable when shooting with him. Plus he’s just a really cool person. My husband and I said we wanted our photographer to be apart of every milestone of our lives and we found that in Jeff.
Thanks Jeff!! We really love you!

The Best!!

Jeff is simply the BEST!! We booked him for our wedding and engagement photos and he was a dream to work with. Jeff helped us create an engagement photoshoot theme that fit our relationship perfectly and felt natural to us. My husband was very nervous to be in front of the camera but Jeff made us both feel so at ease so quickly. Before we knew it we were laughing, playing music, chatting, and just enjoying ourselves in front of Jeff’s camera. That ease transferred so well into our wedding day - he was so professional and easy to work with and the photos he created both for our wedding and our engagement can only be described as MAGIC! We’re completely in love with his work.

BOOK JEFF YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!
