About

I'm Nathan: an artist, storyteller and traveller. While some photographers see your wedding as another job and themselves as just another vendor, I see it as an opportunity to use my personality to make you feel comfortable and my talents to create something special you will cherish forever.

If you're ready for a personalized experience with a professional who is looking forward to your day almost as much as you are, please reach out - I'd love to learn about you and your unique story.

Nathan is the absolute best!

Nathan is the absolute best! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Nathan’s incredible talent and professionalism made him an absolute delight to work with. We reached out to Nathan on recommendation from our wedding planner, and it was immediately clear from our first meeting that Nathan had the experience, skill, and kindheartedness to be a true asset to our wedding planning experience. Planning a wedding is never easy, but working with uplifting and talented people like Nathan helps the process immensely.

Working with Nathan is a breeze; he is always responsive and communicative, and he consistently goes above and beyond to help make our vision come to life. He handled all of the planning and creative aspects so we didn’t have to, which is such a relief when you are juggling a million other wedding planning-related tasks. We had expressed to Nathan beforehand that we were nervous about taking photos, but he made sure to make us feel at ease and confident by providing direction and guidance. And our pictures turned out better because of it.

The photos he took were beyond our expectations. We are just so happy with the way everything turned out. He clearly has a talent for photography. He was a hit with our wedding party, too, not only by being kind and lighthearted all day, but by being organised and efficient in gathering everyone together to get all of the shots that we wanted. When you hire a wedding photographer, you truly spend your entire wedding day with that person — Nathan is an absolute pleasure to have by your side on your most important day.

We are immensely grateful to Nathan for his exceptional work and cannot wait for an opportunity to hire him again. For anyone looking for a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond, we cannot recommend Nathan enough.

Best Photographer in SoCal!

We are so glad to have chosen to work with Nathan! My husband and I chose him back in March/April 2019 for our July 2020 wedding based on the quality & creativity of his photos and his detailed & timely responses via email. I really appreciate good communication! He sent us a congratulatory bottle of champagne and card after we put down our deposit with him which was such a wonderful surprise! Things like this really make you feel excited about getting married! He also shot our engagement photos as part of our photo package and brought us little gift bags with water, chocolate & goodies with Mr. & Mrs. on the bottles! Such a nice touch, again keeping the feeling of excitement going (especially during a 2 year engagement!). He had great insight into the photo locations in Newport Beach and I love the way the photos came out! We shot the photos in August and received them digitally and on a photo disc in the mail in September. As our wedding drew closer we planned out a timeline. We appreciated the time Nathan would take to go over things with us both via email and over the phone. The details matter so much! Once COVID hit, we weren't sure how that was going to affect our wedding so we held off on a decision until May. Things changed a lot with our wedding plans and we didn't think we would need Nathan during our reception. We realized we would need him but unfortunately he was not comfortable being indoors during COVID. My restaurant moved everything outside but unfortunately he was still not willing to shoot the reception. I ended up having to hire another photographer for the reception last minute a few weeks before the wedding. I have to be 100% honest that I was disappointed hearing that he would not commit to the full day, as that was the original commitment that was made pre-COVID. However, I understood that everyone has different comfortability & feelings when it comes to the pandemic and I rolled with the punches. He met us beforehand to check out the photo locations we had in mind for our newlywed photos which was great! He did an incredible job on our wedding day and sweat bullets all afternoon long taking photos. He also found an incredible spot for our newlywed photos which was just magical! We received our digital photos a month after our wedding and he sent a card and USB stick in the mail. He has been my most favorite vendor to work with and one of the kindest, most patient, thoughtful & hardworking people I've met. We can't put into words how much we appreciate his work on our special day and during all the time leading up to it! You cannot go wrong in choosing him as your photographer no matter the occasion!

The most amazing photographer, nathan jaffan!

I used Nathan for my wedding photographer and saying I was amazed with my photos was an understatement. I met Nathan at a friends wedding that he was also the wedding photographer at. He was so personable and I saw how great her wedding photos turned out! Once I got engaged, I knew I had to have Nathan as my photographer and he was the first vendor we booked. He was so responsive throughout the entire process. With the stress of our wedding being delayed due to covid, he helped us stay positive and excited for the big day to come. I had so many questions while planning and he was quick to answer every time! Out of all my vendors, I spent the most time with him on the day of my wedding and he truly kept me at ease the entire day. All my friends and family have raved about Nathan. He was so friendly to all my guests and my other vendors. I had 15 bridesmaids (hard to handle) and he kept us having fun throughout the entire day! I have already recommended him to other friends and family members and will continue to do so. Many of my guests have already reached out to me asking for his information. Nathan is energetic, fun, friendly, and an incredibly talented photographer. I cannot express how much we appreciate him. He was able to capture our day so perfectly and we will cherish these photos forever. THANK YOU, for everything Nathan!!!!

We loved having the opportunity to work with Nathan Jaffan at a wedding held here at The Casitas --his images are bright and beautiful but also creative and fun -- he has a great eye and captures many amazing moments throughout the wedding. We also love that our LA based wedding couples can easily meet with him down in their area, do engagement shots, and then have Nathan up here in San Luis Obispo and the central coast capturing your destination wedding. We love Nathan and look forward to his return to the Casitas. We encourage you to check out his images and website. He's super friendly and generous to work with, which is another wonderful reason to reach out to Nathan!
