    Highly recommend!

    Janet did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Her photos turned out beautiful, her turnaround time was very quick and Janet was lovely to work with. Highly recommend her for any event you have coming up.

    Highly Recommend!

    Janet was our engagement and wedding photographer and we loved all our photos! Janet did a great job making us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. We really wanted photos where we initially got engaged and Janet was eager to climb over rocks and the high tide to get to the spot. She even helped us get some cute photos with our puppy.

    Janet and her assistant truly captured every part of our wedding day. We received our photos quickly and Janet also has an easy process of ordered prints and making your own wedding album. We highly recommend Wheeland Photography and thank you Janet for capturing our special day!

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    I love the photos you included!! I'm so happy our paths crossed and I've been able to photograph your engagement and wedding! So happy for you guys!

    The best!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! We booked Janet back in 2019 for a 2020 wedding. Due to COVID we had to reschedule three times and Janet stuck with us each time. We are so glad she did as she was SO worth it in the end, and we could not be happier with her and her photos. They truly speak for themselves. All of our guests commented on not only how professional she was but nice and fun to work with. All of our emails and calls prior were fantastic, and she really put me at ease. She knew the venue (Casa Romantica August 2022) in and out and made it so much easier. Day of was seamless with her. Could not recommend her enough.

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Ashley!!! I'm SO HAPPY we finally got to celebrate you and James' Wedding!! The day couldn't have been more perfect! And it was SO SPECIAL having your son there! It really did come together so perfectly.

    Wheeland Photography is fabulous!

    Janet captured the beauty and joy of our daughter's wedding. Janet is a lovely person who made our daughter comfortable which was a high priority for us. And everyone with whom we've shared the images have gasped about how fabulous they are. We highly recommend Wheeland Photography!

    Thank You Wheeland Photography!

    My husband and I were so pleased with our experience hiring Janet at Wheeland Photography for our wedding in May 2022 at Giracci Vineyards & Farms. We are camera shy and Janet and her Assistant made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. They were friendly, professional, patient, and gave good direction to capture beautiful shots. Not only were our photos beautiful but Janet surprised us with sneak peak pictures the next morning, highlights a week later, and our full gallery within a month. Our family was impressed with the photos as well as how Janet and her Assistant blended in throughout the event and captured great candid shots. We will be recommending Wheeland Photography to our engaged friends and are happy to share our experience here. Thank you Janet for capturing our special day.
    - Aubrey and Anthony

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Oh yay! That all makes me so happy to hear! I know how exciting it is to get photos right away so I try my best to get them to you as quickly as i can.

    You guys have the sweetest love and I can tell you are surrounded with a lot of love and support from your family and friends. I am so happy for you guys and this next chapter!!

    Perfect Experience!

    We hired Janet for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier! Her photos are gorgeous, she was so organized and on top of things, and her prices are reasonable. She’s a really kind and professional person. I felt so comfortable leaving things to her. She made sure we got everything we asked for on our photo list and then some and got us all our photos in a timely fashion. She was on time, and genuinely seemed to be happy to be there with us on our special day. She went out of her way to take photos she thought we would love and made sure we got highlights and then the full album as soon as possible. Her photo system she uses to give us our photos was easy too. You can easily download all your photos in high quality straight to your computer, there’s no watermarks, and she’s fast to respond when you communicate with her. We used her for both our engagement photos and our wedding and it was the best decision. I highly recommend.

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    I love the pics you chose to share!! You know I LOVE to be organized. I've shot over 300+ weddings so I've seen it all and like to be ready! LOL I'd love to design an album for you too! Your wedding was SO gorgeous!

    Amazing Photographer!

    We are so happy we chose Wheeland Photography for our wedding! After seeing pictures of previous weddings Janet has photographed, we knew we had to have her shoot our own wedding. Her style captured everything we were looking for. It was such a pleasure to work with Janet throughout the whole process – from the planning stage, the wedding day itself, and even after the wedding day. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Janet made everything so much easier with her organization and professionalism. She truly has a gift for what she does and knows all of the right shots to take to capture each moment perfectly. Janet went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Only a day after our wedding, Janet had already sent us some wedding sneak peaks that captured a few highlights from our special day. Less than a month after our wedding, we had all of our pictures delivered to us. Her online gallery is so easy to work with and allows you to download all of your pictures with ease. We are so happy with how all of our pictures turned out. It was so hard to choose our favorite pictures because we loved them all! We highly recommend Janet – choosing her to photograph our wedding was one of our best decisions!

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    It was a pleasure photographing you two! You and Andrew have the sweetest love for each other. Your First Dance was so precious and that dip!! You guys are the cutest!

    Thank you for your kind words. Im glad that I was able to help make the wedding planning less stressful. I know it's a lot to take on and try to help where I can. Enjoy reliving your wedding day through your gallery of images!

    Amazing - Everything I wanted!

    As a bride, a big goal of mine was to have vendors that helped me have a stress free day on my wedding. Janet was everything I wanted and more. She brings a positive attitude that puts everyone in a good mood! She is professional, creative, and finds a way to capture every important moment on camera. Not only did I feel comfortable, many of my bridal party and guests approached me after saying how kind and great she was. We had a large bridal party, and a decent amount of guests. Janet was able to capture all our photos in a timely and efficient manner. Not only that, but we have photos of our guests which are so fun to look at and something I didn’t even think to request. The photos look and style are everything I wanted. Janet is so gifted and the photos look so natural. Photography was the most important part to me when booking vendors for my wedding and I am so happy I went with Janet. Book with her, you will not regret it!

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Oh I LOVE the photos you chose to share!! So much joy and expression! You all were a blast to photograph! Christy, you have such a kind, caring, playful heart and I can see you are surrounded with people that love you. That makes me so happy! Wishing you and Jake a lifetime of love and adventure!!

    The Best OC Photographer

    I had the best time working with Janet from the first conversation that I had with her over the phone to when we discussed details of my upcoming wedding. My sister was my maid of honor and she took it upon herself to find me the best photographer for the day of my wedding. My sister, Ariana, was ecstatic to tell me how much she enjoyed talking to Janet because she knew the wedding industry so well. After speaking to Janet for several minutes, instantly, I picked up such a positive and caring vibe from her. While working with Janet, she was so accommodating to my needs and picture preferences. I felt extremely comfortable with asking for help or adjustments. She made me feel and look special in all of my photos. She is a professional and I felt as though I had a friend taking my photos on my wedding day because she took a lot of effort to make all of us feel our best, while we posed for our photos. The experience I had with Janet was effortless; she knows what she is doing and she’s confident in her work. In turn, I felt at ease and comfortable which is important leading up to your wedding day. After the wedding was complete, she sent over links to a “Sneak Peek” preview of our photos. Our families were stunned with her work! I knew she’d be great but she actually turned out to be amazing, overall! Later, she sent out our final wedding link and mailed us a gift. She went above and beyond for all of us and I’d, honestly, recommend her expertise to any bride that wants to work with someone who is full of life and dedicated to their work. I’m grateful for my sister who led me to Janet, and I’m forever thankful for my memorable wedding photographs. Thank you, Janet, you are remarkable!

    ❤️ Claudia & Andre Sussman

    Thank you Claudia! You are such a gem and I'm so happy for you and Andre! Your wedding was so dreamy and you looked GORGEOUS! I hope you found some photos that you love.

    Absolutely Perfect

    Having only had a handful of life experiences that needed photography Janet is hands down the most amazing photographer I've met. Being slightly camera shy Janet is more like having a friend around whose able to make you feel comfortable, maneuver around family dynamics, get every shot you could think of and on top of all of that her work is incredible!!! We could not recommend Janet enough, thank you for the beautiful perfect photos to memorialize our perfect day!!

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Oh good! I always hope to get my clients past the "we're taking photos" awkwardness and to just enjoy each other and the moment. You guys were so fun to photograph!

    Wheeland Photography is The BEST!!!!

    Wow, wow, wow Janet Wheeland is amazing! As a bride, you really want your photographer to make you feel comfortable and know that they have your back all day. That is Janet! She makes you feel like family and that you have known her forever. She is such a talented photographer and will take your vision and put it into photos! She is patient and kind and will work with you if you are not the best at poses or locations. She was so patient with my husband and I as we are not people that often have our photos taken in such a formal way! She coached us through poses, and we have a perfect combo of candid pictures and posed. The photos just felt like “us.” We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Janet, and everything was just as we had discussed and imagined! She is particularly good at capturing the natural beauty of California and especially the beach! She captured our day perfectly and everyone looks GREAT in all the photos! Our ceremony was at sunset on the beach and naturally was backlit so we anticipated that capturing those photos would be a challenge. Not for Janet!! All of these photos are bright, and you can still see everyone’s faces. We are not sure if it is her editing magic or just natural photography talent! We were blown away at how well everything turned out given the circumstances! Janet also provides a weblink with all your photos within weeks of your wedding! All our photos came perfectly organized so we could easily share with family and friends or just bask in the beauty privately!! Don’t doubt it, just go with Janet! You will be happy you did.

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Sarah!! You are so sweet! It has been so fun getting to know you and Jake and you guys are a BLAST to be around! Cheers!

    Wedding Photography

    Janet was wonderful. She has a calm and professional way about her that we loved. She made us feel very comfortable and confident that she knew what she was doing during the whole process. We loved how she really took charge during the photoshoots since we had no idea what we were doing. You won’t regret choosing her as your photographer.

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Thanks Ashley! You guys were so fun to photograph, so easy going and head over heels in love with each other. I'm such a romantic so seeing your love makes me so happy.

    Janet was a dream to work with!!

    Simply put, Janet is AMAZING!! I was drawn to her natural photos and realistic feel to them. After chatting with her, she felt more like a friend than just our wedding photographer. My husband and I included an engagement photo shoot, being the camera-shy people that we are, Janet made us feel instantly comfortable. The day of our wedding, she went above and beyond what I ever expected from a photographer; she even bustled my dress when it fell out. I would recommend Janet to anyone needing photography in a heartbeat, you will not be disappointed!

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    I know it can feel weird being in front of a camera so Im so glad to hear you both had a good time. Your Engagement Session was so fun - great way to get to know you both before the wedding too! Your sunflowery Fall wedding was dreamy! So glad the rain cleared up for you guys!!

    Janet was amazing!!! I would recommend her to everyone! She took time to talk to me, learn about my relationship, and my expectations for her. She wanted to make the day perfect and was so helpful even when it didn't have to do with photography. The pictures came out perfectly!!

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Every couple is different so it was great to get to know you guys! You and Jared are so kind and I loved seeing your love for each other. Im so glad we did your First Look at the Mission! That was so sweet the way you read your vows to each other.

    Janet is awesome!

    Janet was incredible shooting our wedding this past September! She was super familiar with both our church and reception venue which was super helpful when working with her putting together our day of timeline. Janet was a master at handling all the unique(and sometimes challenging😅) personalities that were at our wedding which made my wife and I’d day even more stress free😄 and most important of all our photos turned out AMAZING! We were so happy we picked Janet to capture our wedding!

    Wheeland Photography's reply:

    Nick! So good to hear! Your wedding day was INCREDIBLE! Everything came together so beautifully. So happy for you guys!
