    With their courteous responses, flexible staff, and pick-your-jaw-up-off-the-floor photos, I highly recommend Cean One Photography! First and foremost, I definitely recommend Cean One Photography to the patient and flexible couple. Our experience with the company was not always the smoothest, but everything always came out better than expected. First of all, my husband and I were really excited to get our wedding planned as it was going to be a destination wedding at Riverside, California at the Mission Inn. Living in Hawaii made it really difficult to visit the mainland to check out venues and vendors, so when we liked something, we went with it. Even if it was two years before the date. When we went to visit Cean One, I was warmly welcomed by one of the many talented photogs on staff. We KNEW that we wanted her to be the one to shoot our wedding. We signed the contract and hoped beyond anything that we could secure her for our day. As things tend to change within two years, that photographer left to start her own company and my husband and I were worried that we would get a photographer who didn't match the tone we wanted for our Wedding. Cean himself stepped up to the plate, sending both me and my husband over the moon. As we live in Hawaii, Cean offered to do our engagement shoot on Maui as he was there visiting friends. Unfortunately, my husband had an accident and broke some bones, so we were grounded during Cean's travels. God, I still imagine how amazing those pictures would have been. Until that point, things had been golden. I do agree with some of the other reviews that there was a lax style of communication and we didn't hear too much from Cean One until a little over a week before the wedding day. No one asked for a list of shots, so I assumed it was all under control. The day of, Cean and his second photographer were the bomb. They were everywhere all at once and all my guests were raving about how amazing, charismatic, friendly, and professional they were. They left at an appropriate time and during the reception and all was stellar. Then I got my pictures back. 95% were stunning, but everything taken in the Mission Inn's smaller bridal room was completely washed over in a sickening yellowish hue, and there were a lot of shots that I wish were there, but I don't think they got around to. I really wish I would have made a list. Part of me felt that many of the shots taken were all shots I'd seen on the website, like the "standard" Mission Inn shots they are required to take. But some were gorgeous ones I knew that they had played around with and was so happy they took a chance on some of those angles and spaces. Those are definitely my favorite of them all. I was really glad to see new things that hand't been tried before. Richard, our editor, addressed my concern about the cheesecake colored pictures immediately and explained that yes, that room is hideous, but they have a simple fix. The pictures turned out fantastic. The only other frustration I had was in our engagement photos. We never did them with Cean One and as a last minute agreement, Cean agreed to have a photographer meet us at Disneyland a day after our wedding to take some fun shots of our "morning after". We waited for the photographer, but she never came. We weren't too upset, we understandably made that call last minute, but I was mostly irritated because I had chosen cute shoes over practical shoes for the long day. Hence, the reason for recommending to patient/flexible couples. We were having fun and didn't really feel astonishingly vexed about the incident, but I can imagine that there would be others who might not. Richard did help us by saying they would be happy to send us a canvas for our troubles. We also decided to purchase the upgrade for one of the gorgeous albums. Brittney has been working with us and that woman is an angel. She has dealt with me and my sass for way too long and I'm so happy to have had the chance to work with such a patient human. All together, there were ups and downs, but Cean and his team pulled through every time. This is a business. Yes, it is a wedding business and couples are expecting perfection, but what you have here is a group of people who seem to genuinely care about their art and your day. If you're looking for a group to work around you and your party like an assembly line, go elsewhere. This is a group of moving, ticking artists who decided to make their business where their passions lie. I'm glad I chose Cean One and I believe you will too if you'd rather remember your day in the joy of a sweet, exhilarating roller coaster that all weddings tend to be.

    First look with my dad. Love how they got the emotions down!

    So happy with our wedding photos and video from Cean one. We got a package deal that included 6 hr photo coverage, 6 hour video, and a 2 hour photobooth. We also had an album included. We felt comfortable working with Cean One from the start. Brittney, who is a photographer and studio manager, was great at getting back to us if we had questions or needed to make appointments the entire year before the wedding, Tamara shot our engagement photos and we loved her right away - she is super sweet and makes you feel comfortable posing for pictures right away, even if it is not your forte. We just did the studio pictures but were not disappointed. We loved how natural they seemed. Tamara also was great about communicating with us before the wedding about ideal shots, family dynamics etc. On our wedding day, Brittney and Tamara were our photographers and Richard was our videographer. They were on time, friendly, and great to work with the entire time. Our family and bridal party loved working with all of them - they are all so sweet and do an amazing job of capturing all the moments at the right time and place. They made everyone feel natural. Even guests commented on how the photographers and videographers were constantly capturing the right moments. Everyone loved how they took a huge group shot and video of everyone at the wedding, no easy feat - there were over 130 people to organize. We have received our photos and our video. The photos are exactly what we wanted - natural lighting, not heavily edited, beautiful shots that really captured special family and romantic moments. Tamara and Brittney really captured the beauty of our Temecula venue as well, getting great sunset pictures. We treasure these photos and have already framed many - Cean one will print shots for you and although it cost more, it is worth it. We already have our album made too and had such a hard time narrowing down what photos to pick. They took 1800+ photos! Richard got all of our special moments on video and we loved seeing them all played back. Your wedding day goes by so quickly so it was so wonderful Richard got all the sentimental and little moments down. Bart, who edits the company's video, really worked with us to make sure our video held our special moments. We had really good speeches given out at wedding and he made sure to include all that in the video. The video really captured all the emotions of the day -thanks Richard and Bart! We highly recommend Cean One for weddings and engagements or really any special occasion. Thank you to everyone at Cean One for our photos and videos!

    We were referred to Cean by family friends right when we got engaged and hired him quickly given their very strong recommendation. We did not regret it - Cean was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish, a true professional who has become a friend over two years and through three stressful COVID postponements. My husband and I grew up in California but live out of state, and while we had our wedding in San Diego, I wanted our engagement photos to be shot where we live now. Cean actually flew cross country to DC for the photoshoot. It meant the absolute world to me and my husband, and we appreciated it more than he knew. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out just beautifully and captured our special memories for a lifetime. Cean and his incredible team did everything they could to make us, our family, and wedding party relaxed and comfortable on the big day. I hope to hire Cean One again to capture some of the "big" life moments for my family in the future!! Thank you for everything!!!

    I randomly searched on Google for Orange County wedding photographers on a whim. To our great fortune, Cean One Photography popped up. What really won me over on their website was the videography. Cean soon gave me a call and we worked out a package for photography, videography, AND Photo Booth for our wedding! Incredible 3-in-1. So far, we have had the great pleasure of participating in an engagement shoot with Cean. This happened on Sunday 6/24. My fiancé and I drove from Orange County down to San Diego. We had three locations/three changes: Mission Trails to shoot with Logan's truck inherited from his late grandfather (we wanted to honor him in our wedding and this is our way to do it!), East Village where his studio is located for a cute Save the Date idea with gold metallic "2016" balloons, and last but not least, Coronado Beach to catch the sunset. Here's the thing ...we were so nervous as we got there a bit later than intended being unfamiliar with the trail area and coming from out of the county, but Cean remained calm and confident. Sure enough, we literally got to the beach with the sun setting behind us within 15 minutes of stepping onto the sand. Sigh...you just can't underestimate a photographer's intuition. I take that back...you can't underestimate a PROFESSIONAL photographer's intuition! Just trust them....you pay them to be the expert so don't worry about anything else. Cean lets you have your ideas and he contributes the artistry and talent to execute them. Now, with the shoot out of the way, we had our engagement party less than a month later on Saturday 7/18. He immediately got us in contact with Brittney, the studio manager, who was our main point of contact. We went through the gallery, made our picks, asked for specific minor edits (i.e. photoshopping out the price sticker on the balloons, brightening a photo, etc.), and sent them to her. She replied immediately and in fact, her constant communication with us showed that she (and Cean, who we cc'd on all emails just so that everyone is on the same page) really care about us. Long story short, we were able to get 8x10 prints AND a BEAAAUTTTIIIIFFFUUULLLLY published/high-quality engagement party guest book (see photos I've uploaded here) by our engagement party. Please remember that this was LESS THAN A MONTH after the engagement shoot! SO many of our family and friends were in awe of the quality as well as the promptness of the photo delivery. Some said they waited months for their own photos. We're going through the wedding planning process and to have had such a great first experience with Cean gives us full confidence that he and his team will deliver at our wedding next year. We can't wait! XO, Annie and Logan

Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!
