I couldn’t recommend Janet enough! She was so kind and patient with us. I’m not the biggest fan of taking photos and she made it such a comfortable experience. We absolutely loved our photos. Our day was far from perfect, but she captured all of the beautiful moments that made me forget all the bad. Thank you so much Janet!

HIGH QUALITY Photos and Human Being :)
Janet blew us away with the level of detail that she captured on our special day. She not only captured so many little moments and details, but maintained the highest quality for every single photo. She also is a really fun person to be around and has really good energy. It helped mitigate the nerves and she knew exactly how to pose us and also capture genuine candid moments. I couldn't recommend her enough, her professionalism and her being very personable enhanced our day and I think we won the lottery with the fact that she happened to be available for our wedding date!

Perfect Evening
Janet was incredibly friendly with our guests, observant, and accommodated our preferences. Throughout the planning and prep for the wedding, Janet ensured that the evening was enjoyable, stress-free, and memorable. She was highly recommended by our venue and coordinator, and we will refer her to anyone we know getting married.

Best wedding decision ever! Janet is amazing
If you’re reading this… make the easiest decision of your wedding planning journey and book Janet as your wedding photographer!
We initially hired Janet only for our engagement photos, but her exceptional work and delightful demeanor convinced us to extend her services to our destination wedding in Kauai. Yes, Janet came to Kauai for our wedding!!! From start to finish, working with her was an absolute pleasure. Janet is a skilled photographer who gives great direction, easy communication and goes above and beyond!
We hope to use Janet in the future as we hopefully grow a family!

Absolutely Amazing
Janet went over and above to help with our day. We did our engagement shoot and wedding day with Janet, she produced amazing photos, was professional, yet made us feel like we've been friends for years. It was exactly what we wanted for this intimate part of our wedding day. Pictures were beautiful and we received them all very quickly. Thank you Janet you truly were amazing.

Janet is unreal…so amazing
Janet was so amazing. We are not the best at poses or positions. We had no idea what to do and she made us feel comfortable and made it fun. Janet knew exactly how to position us to make it look perfect. We knew we had the best when we did our first engagement shoot and the photos were amazing. We posted them (of course), sent them to family/friends, and ordered our guestbook with them for people to sign at the wedding. We knew going into the wedding we had nothing to worry about and our photos would be great, Janet would know exactly what to do.
The wedding was exactly that, she had every position, location, and angle to get the best shots. We couldn’t be happier with the results. We will definitely be using her for any professional photos in the future, we highly recommend Janet for all your photos.

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!

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!

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.

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.

3x Overjoyed
We hired Janet for our engagement shoot (in a hot air balloon), elopement, and in-person wedding celebration and we could not be happier with her photos. She was extremely flexible through all of the Covid uncertainty, and my Maid of Honor described her photos of a reluctant flower girl as magic. She’s thorough and professional, but you can tell that she genuinely shares in your joy as well. We have already asked her to shoot maternity photos next.

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

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!

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.

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 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.

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!

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!

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.

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!!

Amazing Wedding Photographer!
I am so grateful to have had Janet capture my engagement and wedding photos. I found out about Janet through Casa Romantica's preferred vendor list. She came highly recommended by the venue. I was pleasantly surprised that her prices were so reasonable and that my fiancé and I were able to pick a package that fit our exact needs. Janet answered all of our questions and helped us find the perfect location for engagement photos. My fiancé and I were nervous because we tend to look awkward in photos; but, Janet guided us and we loved how our pictures turned out! When our world got turned upside down in March 2020, Janet helped us come up with a backup plan for wedding photos in case our big day wasn't able to happen as we had planned. She was not only our photographer, but walked alongside us by providing helpful wedding advice, thoughtful planning, and calming reassurance. On the day of our wedding, Janet captured the day beautifully and handled our big families like a true pro. Thanks to Janet, we will always be able to look back at our wedding photos and remember the pure happiness and love we experienced that day.

Janet is a Magic Maker!
Janet makes the magic happen! Janet photographed two of my sisters weddings and my corporate head shots, so when we got engaged I couldn't imagine having anyone else capture our special day! When it came to our engagement photos, Janet was totally up for adventure in beautiful Joshua Tree and captured what has to be the most epic movie worthy pose, complete with a flamethrower!
Beyond her obvious talent, Janet is a joy to work with. She is super responsive, organized and was such a great, calm, guiding hand through the whole process. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients. I was blown away that we had a sneak peak of a dozen wedding photos the afternoon after our wedding (wow!!), and our full gallery of images a little over a month after our wedding - which is unheard of!!
Thank you so much Janet for capturing our wedding day!!

Happy with everything!
Janet was awesome! She scheduled a phone call weeks before the wedding to discuss details and make sure that we got everything we wanted. She is super friendly and really flexible with what we wanted as a couple. On the day of the wedding, she worked so well with us as a couple and with our families. She is very laid back, calm, and patient which is nice because family portraits after the ceremony can get a bit stressful. During our couple portraits, she directed us well and was very encouraging that the photos were turning out great. We had never done a professional photoshoot before and she made us feel pretty comfortable. We received some highlight photos several weeks after the wedding and then received all of the photos only a few weeks after. It was all very timely! The photos turned out amazing. My family and I all thought she did a great job. She not only captured great portraits and pictures of the typical wedding activities, but also great candid shots of dancing and guests interacting with each other. She was able to capture great shots of nearly all of our guests which was really nice. Janet and her 2nd shooter worked well together and we are pleased with the end results!

Amazing Wedding Photos
I am absolutely blown away by this girl’s talent. All my wedding photos came out looking like something taken from a movie. I loved the photos and so did everyone else.
Here is why I’m recommending Janet:
- A couple of days after the wedding, I received some wedding highlight images that were superb. This is not normal, and all my married friends had to wait for weeks and months just to get some photos from the wedding.
- Even though I had never met Janet before the wedding, I felt like I had a connection with her. We had calls and email communications where she listened to what I wanted, and she also gave me some good ideas and suggestions. After we had talked through what I wanted, she sent over a list of photos that she was planning on taking on the wedding day and I got to review. I also sent over a Pinterest board of images that I liked. She followed all of it and I got exactly what I wanted and more.
- The photos are amazing.
The bad:
- I have hundreds of gorgeous photos to pick between and I can’t choose which once to hang on the wall.
I am so thankful that I went with Janet. It made my wedding day.

Amazing wedding photographer
Janet did an amazing job photographing our wedding! We could not have asked for a better person to capture our day. She was flexible, had a great vision, great at communicating and was able to capture some amazing moments! Even our guests commented on how great she was. Can't wait to work with her again!

Janet is the best!
We loved working with Janet! Janet had been the photographer for a few of my friend's weddings so I already knew I liked her photography style, but I didn't know yet how great she was to work. From the beginning I loved that Janet would personally be the one taking both our engagement and wedding photos, rather than being part of a larger photography group. She was so flexible on dates and locations for our engagement shoot, even moving the shoot last minute when it was forecasted to rain. Taking photos can be a bit awkward, especially in crowded areas, and Janet made us feel totally at ease. Both the locations for our engagement shoot and wedding were places she had never shot before she even showed up early to scout out good locations. She absolutely goes above and beyond for her clients and it comes through in her phenomenal photos. We're really grateful we were able to work with Janet for our wedding photos and would highly recommend Wheeland Photography!

Perfection!
Janet did our engagement photos- my (now) husband and I had never had pics taken before and Janet made it so natural for us to laugh and enjoy one another which resulted in pictures we adore. She captured our wedding a few months later and she made our day that much more special. The next morning as we were headed to our honeymoon we received sneak peaks!! She is so amazing that we hired her to take pictures of our baby boy this past fall. She will forever be our photographer of choice!!

Outstanding photographer
Janet photographed my sister’s wedding in 2017, my wedding 3 months ago, and she will be photographing my other sister’s wedding in a few months — there’s no other photographer we trust as much as Janet! She is extremely professional, helpful, and just an absolute pleasure to be around. I am beyond thrilled with the photos she took, they’re stunning and timeless. Janet is the best of the best! She also took my engagement photos at the beach and those are amazing as well! I feel so lucky that my big day was captured so beautifully!

Best decision!!
Choosing Janet as our photographer was easily our best wedding decision- besides saying ‘I do’! She has a way of making everything fun, casual, and so beautiful. Everything was extremely personalized and working with her was not only stress-free but so enjoyable (and calming! even in the midst of pre-wedding chaos). *Tip for brides* she is wonderfully creative so, think of some special items that hold meaning for your big day (your written vows, a grandparent’s or parent’s keepsake, etc.) and give them to her. She does an amazing job of creating a genuine and beautiful story through photos. I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day, Wheeland Photography played a big part in that and now we have that amazing day captured perfectly! Honestly, a wedding is stressful enough, don’t stress photography.. this decision is easy (and fun!) P.S. she’s awesome at including your fur-babies in photos!

Best photographer!
First let me say that Janet is absolutely amazing! My husband and I are not big into getting our photos taken, but Janet gives off such a mellow, awesome vibe that I made it fun getting our photos taken. There were so many photos I loved, I actually had a hard time picking out which ones I wanted blown up.
I was told by my family and friends at and after the wedding what a wonderful photographer I had. I would easily recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. I could not have asked for anyone better!

Incredible
Janet was an amazing photographer and she did more than we could have imagined! She was so friendly and kind and was able to direct my entire HUGE bridal party of 10 girls so easily and efficiently without my fiancé or I having to worry about s thing! She was so efficient with our timeline and made sure she didn’t miss any pictures that we had planned our with our families. The was early to our venue and had an amazing spirit and smile the whole night! She even pulled us out for some sunset pictures to capture a couple of sweet moments together away from the reception. The pictures turned out beautiful and she gave us so many highlights just a week after the wedding and a few sneak peaks days after! I was in shock how she was able to edit them so perfect and quickly! She was so detailed and helpful I would recommend her to everyone !!!!! We absolutely loved every picture we got back!

Exceptional Photographer
Hiring Janet as our engagement and wedding photographer was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process because she did not disappoint. She goes above and beyond and will work with you to make sure you have your dream wedding. She is also very professional, down-to-earth, sweet and kind. I will definitely miss working with her.

"Best Wedding Ever"
"Best Wedding Ever!" "Incredible!" These are just some of the quotes we hear almost daily since our wedding, and Janet was able to capture every single moment and every emotion felt! We had such a wonderful and stress free experience working with Janet. She truly made each interaction with her feel like you were hanging out with a really good friend that was always looking after your best interests. Janet has such a reassuring way of being a professional that really made everything feel easy. She went above and beyond in our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding day. On our big day, she brought a second photographer to make sure every detail was captured in its entirety. We remember the excitement of receiving communication from Janet following the wedding, as she would release photos to us as soon as they were ready. The anticipation of the full album was not a let down! Janet delivered a beautiful album with countless memories that we will reflect on and smile, laugh, and cry for years to come. We cannot wait to work with Janet in the future! Thank you for everything!!!

Look no further for a photographer!!!!!! Janet is AMAZING!
If you are reading this, no need to read further and book Janet as your photographer for all things photos! When my husband and I initially met with Janet to see if she would be a good fit for our engagement and wedding photos, we immediately knew. Janet has a way of making you feel completely comfortable with the idea of having a photographer during these special moments in our lives, and this I the biggest plus because my husband tends to be camera shy. She makes you feel like old friends, and all of our time has felt just like that – hanging out with a friend. However, her professionalism and attention to detail are absolutely on point. This left us with a gallery full of perfectly candid moments and shots that left us, our family, and our friends breathless.
Her photos have so much beauty in them. She captured the most amazing moments and does so with a fun and inviting personality that leaves you feeling comfortable throughout the shoot, whether it was our engagement shoot or our wedding day. You can feel the emotion in the photos and live through these photos as if you were there. To be quite frank, we’re over here thinking about when we are able to work with her again – wish we could get married all over again!
Furthermore, Janet’s delivery time is so on point. She not only keeps you in the loop but sends out little sneak peeks to hold you over until you can get the full gallery. I really want to mention that she went absolutely above and beyond because she came along to our rehearsal day and took shots that we weren’t even expecting. Also, I unfortunately lost my grandfather just 3 weeks after the wedding, and I reached out to her asking if I could get copies of photos with my grandfather in them. She delivered them without hesitation even though we weren’t expecting our gallery for another few weeks. Needless to say our experience with Janet of Wheeland Photography was amazing, and I am absolutely positive that yours will be too! Thank you for everything, Janet! We absolutely have so much love for you!!!

Amazing experience
I would highly recommend Janet for a photographer! My then fiancee and I had a destination wedding in San Clemente and we were interested in hiring a local photographer to really grasp the vibe we we're going for. Janet did that and so much more! I couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding day no matter the location. Her personality lends itself to a nice, calm, relaxing experience with just the right amount of direction to make everyone comfortable! Considering it was a destination wedding she reached out and took the time to get to know our story and our personalities! She was so personable and accommodating we truly found a gem in Janet! No matter the occasion, I would hire her for any photography needs!

Amazing photographer with a great eye
When it came to selecting our wedding photographer, our coordinator showed us the different styles to get a sense for what we liked. That was hard since they all have their advantages and were all beautiful, but the aspects we knew we liked and wanted was for our photos was for them to be colorful and feel happy—so she immediately contacted Janet to see if she was available. Lucky for us she was.
We had a small and intimate wedding (with a budget to match), and we were I totally scared thinking we couldn’t afford to work with Janet or had to lower our expectations. Thankfully, Janet being as patient and kind as she is, worked with us to customize our package so we could make it happen.
We had her shoot my mehendi before my wedding instead of engagement photos (because we hadn’t booked her yet when those were done-silly us) and we were glad we had this extra time with her. She got to meet my family (a big loving chaotic bunch which helped her know what she was getting into when it came to family photos on the day of! 😂) and she helped us learn how to feel a little bit more relaxed (I’m really awkward in pics and my husband is always photogenic). She also has this amazingly calm and even temperament that if she was just near us we both instantly felt comfortable, relaxed and grounded.
When it came to the day of, Janet and her assistant (Holly) were like the best combination of cat wranglers and ninjas—they knew how to manage a silly bunch who just wanted to dance versus stand still for a photo and also knew how to swiftly and quietly maneuver around to get shots.
Janet was also super fast in giving us a few sneak peaks the next morning so we had some to share immediately with friends and family and for us to get an idea of what we’d receive at the end of it all as well. She really does have an amazing eye. She knows how make vivid color and energy come to life in stills. She combined portrait style photos with candid photo journalism style shots—she had us covered in all the styles we could’ve wanted or asked for. We are really excited to see the finished product (our wedding was just 2 days ago) and we are completely confident that we will be floored.
I also want to highlight Janet’s non-photography skills. I already mentioned her calm nature—but on top of that she is just so much fun to have around! She is so easy to talk to, comforting, and can dance! I got her to dance with me and girl gots some moves! She (and Holly) really just added even more fun and joy to our wedding and we are so happy and grateful we had the chance to work with Wheeland Photography. We hope you get the chance to work with them too!

I've known Janet for years & was so excited to have her photograph our engagement session/wedding. If you are looking for someone who is all about professionalism, quality, flexibility & creativity, Janet is the perfect photographer for you. Her attention to detail & her creative intuition was something that really attracted me to her photography. Not only that, but her eye for COLOR! I was in love with how she captured color & I know it's a skill that must be hard to do, but she's perfected it. Not only color, but my husband & I were looking for photo styles that were timeless. Something that we could look back on for years & still feel like our wedding just happened yesterday. Something light, colorful & fun...I knew Janet was the perfect photographer for us!
On our wedding day, Janet got right to work! Photographing all the details from getting ready all the way up until our getaway at the reception. Janet helped Matt & I feel relaxed all day & she was not afraid to pull us away to get in a couple more extra special shots. Not only that, but she was also so sweet & got along so well with our other vendors & that made our day even more fun! She was so flexible with last minute changes on locations too. Our wedding day was hot & a popular wedding date, but Janet was prepared & equipped with ideas. Janet is also quick to think on her feet & when unexpected things happened during our wedding, she knew exactly what to do to get the right shot at whatever angle. My husband & I are so thrilled with our pictures & have gotten so many wonderful compliments on them. We will definitely be asking Janet to photograph us again in the future.
Thank you, Janet! You are truly one of a kind & we love your work & you!
Love,
The Sparks

Janet is a fantastic photographer and amazing person! From our first phone conversation to her communication during planning and her ability to help make wedding decisions, she is the best decision I made during our wedding planning! During our planning process she made herself available for any questions or suggestions while supporting the vision that my husband and I had for our wedding. She has such a positive yet calm demeanor that everyone involved in the family pictures was laughing and smiling the entire time. The pictures she captured on our wedding day are truly a work of art and I will be forever thankful for her ability to capture such precious memories. Thank you Janet!!

Janet's photos of our wedding are incredible! She perfectly captured the joy and love of our wedding and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Having the two photographers that came with Janet's pricing was such a great deal as we were able to get twice as many photos done during a busy day that flew by (one photographer for my husband and groomsmen and one for myself and bridesmaids!). Janet's eye for the beautiful backdrops and light made each photo turn out so beautifully. Janet was so kind and professional during the whole wedding planning process and wedding day. She was such a huge help and all the photos are gorgeous!

Janet Wheeland is incredible! When I was looking for a photographer for the big day, I wanted to make sure it was someone I felt comfortable being around and Janet has the most calming and down to earth personality. She also has an eye for detail and a true gift for photography. All of my wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier!

Our wedding photos turned out more gorgeous than we ever expected or hoped for. She was able to capture literally every moment of our day, allowing us to cherish these memories forever. I honestly couldn't have asked for a more professional, caring, and personable photographer! Thank you so much, Janet! I will definitely be recommending you to all of my engaged, and single, friends ;)

My husband and I got married this past October at Swallow Creek Ranch in Cayucos and it was a dream. Janet came up to Cayucos for the weekend and photographed our wedding. We are obsessed with ALL of the photos. Before the wedding Janet worked with us to make sure she understood everything we wanted. She got everything we wanted and more! She did an awesome job and we can recommend her enough!

I hired Janet for my engagement photos and wedding photos and it was the best decision. I heard about Janet through my best friend who also had Janet as her wedding photographer. I was able to see Janet in action at her wedding and absolutely feel in love with her work and personality. Janet is so sweet, helpful, and thoughtful when working with her clients. She gives great advice and really helps you organize your day or choose the best place for photos that compliments each couple's style. Janet seriously does amazing work! She is professional, creative, and very talented. She is a true expert photographer and captures the sweetest most natural moments. I couldn't be more happy with my engagement and wedding photos from her. She is so much fun to work with. She has given me so many special moments to relive. There are so many photos that are my absolute favorites. She captured all my special moments, details, and more from my wedding day. I can't express how thankful I am to have had her as our photographer. She truly is the best! Katie Danna

Janet is the ultimate BEST wedding photographer there is. She is not only talented but incredibly thoughtful, detail oriented, and just all around caring. She knows how important these photos are to her clients so she goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and at ease. On my wedding day she bustled my dress for me, fixed my hair, and other small random acts of kindness that made me feel like I had a dear friend by my side all night. The next day, she texted me 5 sweet shots to my phone! And then had my large picture book and 2 parent books ready in less than 2 months--simply amazing. Like I said, Janet is the best there is.

Hands down the best photographer EVER!!! Janet is sweetest most compassionate, down to earth person I have met, and did everything possible to make my wedding experience the best. She not only took the time to make my husband and I feel comfortable before the wedding by explaining everything about the process, she also spent extra time with me before the wedding to make sure everything was taken care of. Her artistic eye and love for her work make her photography one in a million.

Janet is hands down the best special occasion photographer in Orange County. She photographed my Fiancé and I for our engagement and we were blown away with how comfortable she made us feel and how completely she captured the "real us". We were so thrilled that we booked her for our wedding. I wouldn't trust anyone else to document our big day. Book her as soon as you can because she is quite popular ;)!

I was introduced to Wheeland Photography at a bridal shower where I won an engagement photo session. My fiance, now husband, and I were blown away by the photographs and by how comfortable we felt due to her easygoing and friendly demeanor. We enjoyed the session and loved the photos so much we decided to hire Wheeland Photography for the wedding as well. I am extremely happy with the process of working with Janet and her assistant at the wedding. They were both professional and lovely. They blended into the location and never once took focus away from the ceremony or our guests, yet they captured every moment beautifully! She capture some truly magical photographs. I highly recommend Wheeland Photography to any bride or anyone looking for a truly professional and exceptional photographer. We will use Wheeland Photography again in the future for family photographs.

Our entire experience with Wheeland Photography has been great. My husband and I were married in Nov 2016. Janet was recommended to by our venue and after looking at her website we knew her style of photography was what we were looking for. We booked an engagement photo session to get to know Janet before our big day. Janet made us feel very comfortable and helped us relax in front of the camera. Nearly every picture we got from both the engagement session and our wedding were fantastic. Janet was always extremely professional and very responsive, and her pricing is very affordable. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and are so glad we chose Wheeland Photography!

Janet Wheeland and her team were beyond amazing!! Our pictures came out even more beautiful than I could ever imagine! My husband and I went through a few photographers and we were not satisfied with them or they were going to cost an arm and a leg. When we met Janet I knew she was the photographer who was perfect! She understood our vision and knew the venue we used very well! Janet Wheeland is the photographer everyone should use! She's amazing, friendly and will give you an amazing final product! I cannot wait to use her for my husband an my next adventure!

All of the pictures (engagement & wedding) turned out AMAZING and she delivered them to us SO quickly- we couldn't believe it! She is a true professional. From the moment we hired her, she was so easy to reach. I never worried about being able to communicate with Janet and that is HUGE when you’re deep into planning a wedding! She knew exactly how to keep my husband happily going when he started to get restless with pictures. And we received SO many compliments at and after our wedding about how friendly she was, her ability to seamlessly integrate with the party and capture some wonderfully candid moments, and her professionalism! She caught everyone's personalities exactly making the candid shots some of our favorites! Even though she was busy all day, she managed to find some time to print out a few photos for us AT THE WEDDING. We were literally blown away! It was wonderful to have those photos right then for us and to share with family; not to mention they are absolutely beautiful!! Hiring her was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Her work is outstanding and, despite being so busy, she goes above and beyond to make you feel like the only clients she has. We honestly can't say enough good things about Janet and would (& have) definitely recommend her!

My husband and I stumbled across Wheeland Photography on a preferred vendor list provided by our wedding coordinator. Janet, with Wheeland Photography, was so organized from the day we booked her services, and we couldn't have been more pleased with how the pictures of our big day turned out! She captured every moment and was so patient and fun to work with---what I really appreciate was her making us feel more comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which made some of the moments captured even more precious for us. I would definitely recommend Wheeland Photography to all my friends and family. :)

Photography for my wedding was my top priority, and I was so picky when it came to picking a photographer. When I discovered Janet's photography, I fell in love and was so lucky that she was available to photograph my wedding. She was so speedy in getting our photos back to us. The photos were exactly what I had hoped for, and if I was doing it all over again, I would still choose her to capture our special day. The photos were superb and are now hanging all over our new home. She was so flexible with what I wanted and she really cared about my opinions. Janet quickly feels like your friend and is so kind. I was so impressed, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

We hired Wheeland Photography for our engagement shoot, and will without a doubt be using them for our wedding as well!! Janet at Wheeland Photography is absolutely amazing! She is incredibly professional, yet so sweetly personable. My fiancé is not totally comfortable taking photos, it's just not his favorite thing to do ?? However, Janet made both of us feel so comfortable and at home, and the experience was spectacular. We were anxious to see the pictures right away! When we got the photos, we were both so deeply satisfied and moved by the emotion she captured, that we know she would be the one to photograph our wedding.

Janet was wonderful! I cannot recommend her enough! She also shot 2 of my friends' wedding and did an equally fantastic job! She's so pleasant to work with and laid back. If you're looking for slightly more natural photography, as opposed to the very posed and staged shots that are so common in So Cal, look no further, Janet is the best there is! Her prices are more than fair for the region! She offered us engagement photos in our package and unlimited hours, with a second shooter, at our wedding. Our photo's turned out fantastic! Thank you SO much for capturing our day! It was perfect!

I found Wheeland Photography by reading other happy couple's reviews and wanted to also share my experience. Janet took our engagement photos in Newport Beach pier. There are so many great, quality shots, we are going to have trouble deciding which to use for the Save the Dates. She is very friendly and put us at ease during the shot. She is extremely professional and was prompt at returning our emails and getting back the edited pictures. Did I also mention she is a great photographer? You can tell that she has a lot of technical experience and knows how to use lighting to get the best shot. She went out of her way to take some great sunset and night shots. For the time she spends and the number of edited pictures she provides, this was a great value. If I was getting married in California, I would have also used her as the wedding photographer. I highly recommend Wheeland Photography.

Our wedding venue listed Wheeland Photography as one of its preferred vendors and it was easy to see why. From our initial meeting, Janet was the consummate professional and an artistic partner when it came to our wedding photography. Even better, she was all this while being friendly, graceful, and an all-around positive force for our wedding.
My wife and I are not the most lovey dovey of couples. We're not Daria Morgendorffer either, but we don't exactly exude puppy dog eyes and eskimo kisses. Because of this, searching for a wedding photographer and looking at so many lovingly photographed couples brought its own specialized anxiety. Would we ever be able to find someone who could photograph us as well as these couples? Even moreso, would we be able to find someone who could capture OUR personality in the photos and not just put us in pre-packaged poses and looks that would only nag at us as "forced" or "artifical" as we looked through the photos years later? With Wheeland Photography, we got exactly what we were looking for. Janet provided an experienced guiding hand, implementing poses and looks that resulted in photos that we feel capture our genuine love and affection for each other and that also exude our personality and sense of humor in a real and organic way.
As strong we feel her portrait work may be, what initially drew our attention to Wheeland Photography is Janet's ability to capture impressive candid photos. Looking through her samples, you'll find amazing candid photos that convey a depth of mood and emotion. We constantly found ourselves thinking, "Wow, wish we could've been at that wedding!" Initially, we wondered if all these great photos were staged. But having her seen her work at our wedding and receiving the resulting photos, we can say conclusively that she is just THAT good at finding those moments. Many of these candids have easily become our favorite photos of our family and friends.

I am so happy I chose Wheeland Photography to capture photos on my wedding day. Janet is very professional and super sweet! She did such a wonderful job on all of our engagemnet photos and wedding photos! There are so many great photos I can't pick one that I like the most! We had 26 people in our wedding party and Janet was calm and got some great group photos. She was with me from 12:00 noon to 12:00 midnight and she took photos the entire day capturing some very emotional photos! My friends and family keep telling me how beautiful the photos are and have been saying what a wonderful job Janet did! I would definitly recommend Wheeland Photography to other brides!! Janet will respond to emails and phone calls very quickly, she will make you feel comfortable during your photo session and most of all she will take some beautiful photos on your special day.
Thank you Janet!

It was such a joy to have Janet Wheeland do my engagement and wedding photos. I love looking at my pictures and wish I had a way to display more of them around my house! Janet worked with me to meet our individual needs and desires for our big day, she answered my questions quickly, gave me advice, and got all the pictures I wanted. Janet does great things with lighting, and making light look natural even when it is not. She truly has an eye for what she does. You won’t be disappointed in her work.

Janet is one of the best photographers I know. She is extremely talented. She photographed my wedding and she captured every moment beautifully. She is very professional, yet she cares about you as a person. She is so kind and is so easy to work with. My wedding pictures were beautiful, and it was all because of Janet's amazing talent and ability to capture the special moments between my loved ones and my husband. I would recommend ANYONE to Janet.

Sensational!! Hiring Wheeland Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Janet is the sweetest person, has an excellent eye for great photo opportunities and is full of creative suggestions. Our pictures are beautiful. Janet and her assistant were prompt and professional and didn't skip a beat. They truly captured the evening. I strongly believe the value of their service out ways the cost. They are attentive, flexible and patient. From the first meeting down to the final delivery of our pictures I remained impressed with Janet's conduct. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Janet was seriously amazing! She photographed our engagement session, rehearsal dinner and wedding. She made us feel so comfortable and her creative and enthusiastic energy helped us to capture some truly special moments. She did a great job roping in our 18 bridesmaids and groomsmen as well as two large crazy families !! Not only was she a great photographer but she helped with some coordinating and made my crazy day feel effortless. I high recommend her and can't wait to use her for more events as our family grows!

Janet was amazing through the entire process. She took our engagement photos, which I LOVED and had a few great places that she suggested for me since I didn't want beach pictures. She also took our wedding pics and even came to the rehearsal to get some fun shots of us! Janet is so easy to work with, she really made everything run so smoothly, even with my rowdy bridal party. She stayed with us until the very end of the night! I had a backyard wedding and was worried about not having cute picture spots but she was great at looking beyond what I saw and catching the perfect light. She also brought a wonderful assistant who helped us a lot with photos of the guys, then helping me walk in that huge dress and adjusting the train. Trying to pick out a photographer is the hardest, when the dinner and dancing is over, the pictures are all you have left besides the memories. I am SO happy I chose Janet to capture our day!

Janet was fantastic for our engagement shoot as well as at our wedding. She was very responsive in communicating, so it was easy to schedule a time to meet, and at the engagement shoot we both felt really relaxed and comfortable with her. She put us at ease right away and was very laidback and fun to work with. It was a really enjoyable experience and the time flew by! We LOVED the photos she took of us; there was a great blend of artsy and traditional shots enough to satisfy both my and my husband's slightly different tastes. The day of the wedding she was shooting with another photographer and they worked together well. She managed to help direct us while being very inconspicuous at the same time. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and I have recommended her to many of my friends. We love Janet!

Janet is amazing! We had her do our engagement photos and they turned out beautifully! We sent her some ideas beforehand of engagement picture online that caught our eye, and she picked a perfect location for us in SJC. We had a lot of fun shooting with her and were very happy with our photos. She also gave us a couple "teaser" pictures within a couple days and had our photos up and a CD sent out within a week or two. The packaging on the CD was customized and very professional. We have already referred some friends to her to use for possible family portraits. Highly recommend!

With just 30 days to get our wedding together prior to a move out of state, we knew we wanted no one other than Wheeland Photography to shoot our wedding. Janet, along with an assistant, had been the photographer for my sister's wedding just 3 months earlier and after seeing her in action and the beautiful images she produced, we knew she was a perfect fit for us. Crossing our fingers that she would be available, we were delighted to find out she was and had no problem with the short time frame.
This is not a complete list, but these are a few words we'd use to describe Janet...
Personable - Her warm and sweet demeanor made us, a camera shy bride and groom, relax in front her lens. She made it a point to quiet any concerns we had related to timing, arrangements, etc. We felt relaxed knowing that she had the timing and our wish list covered and we just needed to show up.
Flexible – We had to make a couple of last minute photo venue changes and Janet was very understanding and even reassuring that it would work out perfectly.
Professional - From her choice of clothing to her interactions with family and friends at the wedding during group picture time, Janet displayed true professionalism without being stiff and uptight.
Joyful - Janet's joy for witnessing the biggest day in a couples life is so apparent. We were able to see it at not only related to our big day, but during the weddings of others we knew that she has shot for.
Sneaky (In a good way!)- Outside of the family or obligatory photo moments (like cake cutting or garter toss), Janet was like a little photo elf. We rarely noticed her snapping away, but when we got to see our pictures were amazed at how every important moment was captured.
Artistic - Janet's eye for a good shot and the angles that she used made many of our images frame worthy.
Thanks for everything, Janet!

Janet is THE BEST! She offered great tips for photography locations, and was very flexible when it came to last-minute changes in plans (even the Day-Of! yikes)!

Janet is an amazing photographer, she was so flexible and willing to make adjustments for both our engagement session and our wedding day. She has the ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and is really professional. Our pictures came in a BEAUTIFUL case on a CD, and the pictures themselves are amazing! She made sure to capture all the important moments and details. Also, we received our fully edited pictures just weeks after our wedding. Janet's amazing!!

I love Janet's work. She did both engagements pictures and wedding shots and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. She has a very good eye for composition and can make her subjects seem so at ease and natural. It was a great pleasure working with Janet and I'd recommend her to all the brides out there wanting beautiful, elegant, and perfectly framed shots... I also like to comment that on my wedding day it was so easy to have a female photographer in the room with me while I was getting ready... Janet was fantastic to work with and she made me and my fiance feel at ease and comfortable on our wedding day. Thank you Janet!

Janet from Wheeland photography changed my whole concept of a wedding photographer. I have been to many weddings and seen many wedding photos and never have seen anything as good as what Janet does. She was my wedding photographer for my September wedding and everything that I was looking for and wanted, she did. The pictures are incredible! I recommend Wheeland Photography to anyone that is looking for an amazing photographer. She will capture those special moments that you want to remember forever.

Janet is awesome. She's very flexible so her price will meet your budget. Her photos are very creative with very little prompting. She just seems to know what you want and she delivers it.

I was so happy that I used Janet Wood Photography for my wedding and engagement photos. She took such beautiful pictures and captured so many memories for my husband and I. She is a true artist.

Having Janet take the photos for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made planning for our big day. It was very important to me to have the perfect pictures and memories to fill our albums and frames, and with Janet, I was free to focus on and enjoy the occasion without the worries or stress over it. She is very professional and thorough with the variety of pictures she provided. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and Janet captured for us the priceless images we will also cherish forever.

Loved Janet's talented photography, she was able to capture my daughters most joyous moments at her wedding. While I was busy putting finishing touches on the reception Janet was capturing many memories behind the scenes and my daughters beautiful smile. She was able to photograph the sweet moments when the groom sees his bride for the first time. I appreciated how careful she was not to be seen during the ceremony but photograph the beautiful vows. Memories I will treasure forever!
