The Best Wedding Photographer You Could Ask For!! Cean made our big day, the most memorable day of our lives together! My wife and I could not have been happier with the pictures and experience that Cean & his assistant gave us. Our wedding day had a huge monkey wrench thrown in, when our ceremony got rained out. Cean was on the ball and made the most of it. Which of course set my new bride at ease! He made us feel like celebrities, walking through the vineyard and around the grounds, taking awesome shots together. Everyone at the reception commented on how much they liked Cean, he had a great sense of humor and knew how to wrangle everyone around. After so much anticipation, the email link came in to see all of the photos from the wedding, our hearts melted once again as we relived our special day. I was shocked at how well they captured our emotions. I could not have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Cean! read more

Cean is a true artist. We hired him to photograph our wedding in 2011. I cherish the moments he captured of us on our wedding day and of our guests. He has since continued his magic by photographing our family as it's grown to two kids and dogs. He has also photographed our extended family. He is wonderful with kids, making them laugh, and highlighting their personalities and individuality. I am lucky to call him my friend now after all these years. I would recommend him to anyone who to showcase the lives in your life read more

Cean is the best in the business! We used him for our wedding in 2011 and in 2014 for senior pictures, and now in 2022 for headshots! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!!! read more

Hi Cean - I wasn't getting responses back from your company until I finally gave up chasing and let my coordinator took over to handle the communication for me. As a bride dealing with other parts of the wedding planning, I didn't not need the stress to worry about dealing with a none responsive vendor. I have email proof that quoted from your photographer that said you guys were over booked so too busy to respond - but that is not the point. No matter what the reason may be, as a professional you should always respond to your clients in a timely manner. Looking back to comments on Yelp dated as early as 2009 (under filtered), there were unsatisfied customers complaining about your studio's customer services - so we weren't the first ones who have had bad experiences with your firm. Rather than spending time on justifying, I suggest you should be focusing on improving your company's customer service, learn how to work with not just the clients, but their other assigned vendors such as an appointed coordinator - as part of the team to make the wedding special for every single client that you work with. Wedding is a very emotional business, and you should know better being in it as a professional. Lastly, you are past due on your fee on the judgement from the small claims court. Please settle ASAP. Too much time is already wasted and time to move on. Thank you. read more

It's been about a year since I wrote a review for Cean One. A lot has happened since. They're in San Diego now! I'm a teacher so going down to SD on a weekday is super difficult for us. But for my brand new baby son's 3 month photo shoot, Cean scheduled us to come in on a Sunday, his day off. Again, who does that? Cean is always willing to go above and beyond your expectations. He truly is a heart of gold. When we arrived at the SD studio, it took my breath away! It's so beautiful. The natural sunlight that comes into the studio from the ceiling to the big entrance just lights up everything so beautifully! Our 3 year old daughter and 3 month old son are so comfortable around Cean and his big heart, it's hard to choose from all the photos he takes! Between the lighting, big studio space, and Cean's natural talent, we get to document our kids' photos in such a timeless way. Money well spent, and I get a reminder everyday when I wake up and look at my walls! ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It took me FOREVER to get on this to write a review for Cean One. That's probably because you really don't think about writing a review for a friend or a family member! I know that sounds cheesy, but seriously, would you have any friends or family left if you DID write a review for any of them? ;) Cean has been our family photographer for a few years now. From our holiday portraits to all of my daughter's growing up photos. He even traveled with us to Korea for my sister's wedding, he even bunkered down with us at our hostel! Don't get me wrong, I am a meager teacher and I don't have a money tree growing in my yard. He was willing to work with us on a package that would work for a small budgeted wedding for my sister. Cean wasn't my personal photographer at our wedding, (which i am so sad about) but he did take 2 of our engagement sessions. That's when we got to know Cean. What a down to earth, kind hearted, talented photographer he is! His work absolutely showed all of that. Although none of the responsible photographers remain with the studio, I have nothing negative to say about any one of them. I have wonderful images beautifully captured- what more can I say? I am just really annoyed with some of the reviews on here. First of all, you can't review a photography studio if you have never used their services before. They are still a photography studio. Service is a huge portion, but so is the product. How can they be reviewed based on just the minor portion of service, not to mention the entire experience you have while taking photos, editing process, and getting your product? Anyway, I love Cean, I love his staff! They will capture your memories beautifully forever! read more

I met Jeremy, with Cean One Photography at a Bridal Show in Los Angeles, CA before my wedding was even booked. I kept his contact information and called Cean One as soon as the ink on the event booking was dry. Cean One Photography is professional, creative, and personable. We had our engagement photos shot on-location at a winery in Temecula. We thoroughly enjoyed our engagement shoot, it was relaxed, fun, and professional...As soon as i saw one proof, I KNEW we had booked the right photographer for us. One of the candid moments they photographed, completely caught the sweetest moment. Every time i look at that photo, i know how much i love my fiance. It was VERY difficult to choose our favorite photos for our album... Our album of engagement photos became our guest-book, and all of our wedding guests commented on how beautiful the photos are. These photographs are like art, they are absolutely gorgeous. We have worked with just about everyone who works at Cean One. The entire staff is friendly, professional, fun, and really a pleasure to work with. On the day of the wedding, i was a very nervous bride, Jeremy picked up on this immediately, and cured me with a glass of champagne... :) We just barely got married... but, the photos on the day of the wedding were fun, relaxed, and from the few I've seen -- absolutely take my breath away. I can't wait to see the rest! read more

Cean and his team are amazing! Cean shot our engagement photos in downtown LA, we had so much fun running from one gorgeous backdrop to the next with him. We had no idea what we wanted, but he picked amazing sites that photographed beautifully. It felt like we were spending the afternoon with a friend, not just a photographer. Fast forward 6 months, I came to Cean asking if he could help me put together a gift to give to my husband on our wedding. Cean shot very tasteful boudoir photos in his studio and made me feel extremely comfortable and confident. He made a beautiful album to give to my husband and even wrapped it and delivered it the day of the wedding so that he could get pictures of my husband's priceless reaction. Our wedding day in Temecula came and we were very impressed with the communication with Cean and his team prior to the event, making sure they knew all of the shots we wanted and that we were familiar with the timeline of the day so there were no surprises. Cean and his team blended in to the wedding, and were dressed very stylishly (I know that sounds weird, but I've been to weddings when vendors show up in jeans and throw the whole look off). Cean was able to maneuver sticky situations with divorced parents and all the other fun stuff that comes with a wedding seamlessly. We also had Cean and his team do the photo booth at our wedding, which was a huge hit and guests loved that there was an attendant there the entire time to help them. After getting our photos and beautiful albums back, we could not be happier that we chose Cean to document our wedding day, they are truly amazing photographs. We are looking forward to using Cean for all of our upcoming family pictures! read more

Cean has been the go to photographer for all the top occasions in Riverside county for years! Now that he has moved his studio to SD, we all miss him. But once in awhile we can still get him back to the IE. He recently came to Riverside to take my daughters sweet sixteen pics, and of course they're Awesome! We have referred numerous people to his studio over the years, and they have all been very happy. I can't wait for him to take my daughters Senior pics! 6 Huge Bright Stars For CEAN ONE!!! read more

Cean was my photographer at my wedding this past April. I have had a lovely experience working with him personally and his team. The Cean One team was prompt, professional and personable. Throughout the process I felt that Cean's staff members were always there to help when I needed something and I found that the communication was always responsive within a reasonable timeframe . Katie and Harleene especially have been helpful through everything from scheduling times, special requests, to designing our engagement book for us. Cean is a great person and his work is beautiful... thats why we hired him!! When i saw the proofs from the wedding this past week, he was able to really capture all the special moments through his photos ... I was flooded with all the happy memories of that day. I also appreciated all the photos that captured all the little "details" that i worked so hard on. I can't wait to see our final book and video. Thank you Cean & your team. read more

When: January - May 2014 Experience: In January I engaged Cean One Photography and discussed the wedding photography service I was looking for with Matt. We talked for over an hour and he gave me not just great suggestions on wedding photos but also valuable inputs on the wedding planning process as well from a photographer's perspective. In March, Katie from Cean One Photography took our engagement photos at me and my wife's old high school where we shared a lot of memories. It was a great experience as Katie was super nice and was very patient with us. The photos turned out amazing, making our not so great looking high school seemed like a great photo spot. The result was as unique and special as we had hoped. We just had our wedding in May at a Temecula winery and Katie was again our lead photographer and Matt was there to shoot our video. The stress on the wedding day was a little bit overwhelming and both my wife and I weren't feeling very well physically after the ceremony (too nervous maybe), but Katie, Matt and team were all very patient with us and were super nice. They guided us, our wedding party, and our guests through the photo session and made sure we're on track. We had a busy reception with a lot of activities going on they were always there to remind me on the time and events to happen. Our time was supposed to be up at 8, but Matt stayed longer to take more videos for us, which spoke greatly about their professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond for customers. We also had a two hour photo booth set up outdoors. I was initially a little concerned if it would be a waste of money if nobody uses it, but it turned out to be so popular and our guests had so much fun with the funny props. We already saw some pictures and they were hilarious. Bottom Line: Of all our wedding service providers, we trusted Cean One the most. Their work speaks for themselves and our engagement photos confirmed our expectations. Now we're just super excited and can't wait to see our wedding photos and video! read more

Using Cean One Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. We used them for photography AND videography. We decided to book with the company the same day we met with them! Cean was amazing. He was so professional, yet fun, exciting, caring, and talented. We started our experience with Cean when he did our engagement photos. We didnt really know what we wanted to do for the photos, but Cean had so many creative ideas, he is truly an artist! We continue to get compliments on how beautiful, artistic, and stunning our engagement photos are! We also got a guestbook/photo book in the package we selected, and again nothing but compliments and "ooing and ahhing" at how well done it was. All pictures were edited and the book was created so promptly, way before the wedding was even close! Wedding experience: WOW, is pretty much all I can say. We again had Cean and his partner at the wedding. They were on time and ready to go just as we had discussed (as a bride these are all very important things). My whole bridal party and family really liked Cean and felt very comfortable while he was taking the pictures. Amidst all the chaos of a wedding Cean and his partner always remained composed and professional, while at the same time we had a lot of fun with him! Many people have told me the pictures are "magazine worthy" and every time I look at them I am blown away by their talent! We also used Cean One for videography. Chris was amazing! We decided last minute to look for a videographer and when we found out that Cean One offers videography now we were all over it! Without hesitation we decided they were who we were going to use. Chris did a phenomenal job. He captured all the things that pictures can't. Even though Chris was always around, we never felt like he was "in our face" he was like a "behind the scenes guy." He was able to capture the moments I may have missed because I was busy with other things. The end result (the highlight video) brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. It was so well done and I would recommend, hands down, people to use him for videography. Clearly, our experience with Cean One Photography was exceptional! I cannot wait to use them again and again to capture all life's major moments! We love you Cean One Photography! read more

My experience at Cean One Photography was nothing but delightful. From the beginning I was welcomed in with Jeremy's warm smile and friendly conversation and as we talked about photo packages and aesthetics I was in full confidence that I would be getting exactly what I was looking for. Once the photo shoot came around, Cean did an amazing job with my family and I. Extremely talented and knowledgeable; Cean knew exactly what to do. Within a short amount of time I received my portraits and was taken aback by how amazing they turned out! I have recommended them to several of my friends and family, and definitely will be going back to Cean One Photography for any of my future photo needs. read more

My experience with Cean One Photography has been positive from day one. We worked with them on our engagement shoot and the wedding day, and there are tons of different packages to fit every budget. Jeremy was my photographer and he's great to work with. We were able to do a really cool engagement shoot that totally fit our personalities. It rained on my wedding day, but Jeremy and Chris (Cean's son) were there early and prepared to capture as many pictures as we could. Both of them did their best to get me out of my 'I-can't-believe-it's-raining' funk. And if you plan on getting married at The Mission Inn like I did, you definitely need a photographer that understands the layout and lighting of that place, which they totally did. After the big day, we got to choose photos for our album and after it was complete, we received two discs of the pictures. All of them turned out absolutely amazing and I don't feel like any pictures were missed. When it comes to your wedding, I think a lot of people just make the mistake of not telling their vendors exactly what they want. If there was a pose or a certain picture with someone that I wanted taken, I let Jeremy know in the moment. But you can also speak with your photographer beforehand and give them a list of important pics for you. Months after our wedding, my husband surprised me with a custom canvas-wrap picture that he ordered through Cean One. They put together a picture with our vows in the background and it turned out so great. I really have nothing but good things to say and would recommend them for weddings or any of life's big moments. read more

I recently had Cean take photos of me for my business. His garage/loft/office space is really unique and inspiring. I don't particularly care for the whole glamour type model photos as I'm really self-conscious, but Cean made me feel like I have worked the camera my whole life! The picture taking experience was great! His vision, confidence, suggestions and sweet smile made it so comfortable that I actually got some great pics! I plan to make him my go-to guy for all photo occasions! read more

Cean and his staff are truly top of the line. From our engagement photos, our guestbook, the photo booth, etc. we were impressed and pleased. The Cean One experience truly enhanced our wedding day experience. So many of our guests are still talking about our amazing wedding, and I must say that Cean and his team were part of that day. The photo booth was so fun, and our pictures are truly the most beautiful I have ever seen. With wedding photography, you get what you pay for, and while Cean One may seem pricey, they are worth every penny. Cean took such good care of me on my wedding, day too. If you are anywhere in Southern California, you can't go wrong with Cean One photographs. BTW we picked a extravagant package, he does have a variety of low to high prices. You cannot go wrong with Cean One. Beautiful pictures forever....that's what we have thanks to Cean One. read more

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 read more

The Mission Inn provides a list of vendors to work with and Cean One was one I researched. Read great reviews and when I saw his work online I knew that was it. Setup a meeting to speak to Cean and he was super nice! He informed us of the packages available and after discussing it with my fiance we put a down payment to secure them. I love looking at all their new posts and pictures so I couldnt wait to work with them. I was originally assigned one photographer but when I arrived at the Mission Inn bridal show I was showing my friends and family their work when Jeremy informed me the other photographer was no longer working with CeanOne but would honor his contracts or I could transfer to him and he would throw in a photograph guestbook for our wedding. At first I was shocked the initial photographer didn't inform me of the change and I did transfer with Jeremy after all. We set up our engagement session at the downtown library in Los Angeles, which was a nice neutral setting. Very at ease with Jeremy so it went quick & smoothly, the only gripe I have is even though I put half down they wouldn't release the engagement photos until the full balance was paid. Other friends I had getting married using other photographers were able to get their photos so that was my only upset. Also when the disc arrived our last name was spelled wrong but they were quick to resend a new one and a cute apology note. Fast forward to the wedding day, Jeremy arrives on time with another photographer. Well right as he showed up my father arrived at my wedding super drunk! So my father was a distraction but Jeremy helped me focus and smile, he told me to not worry about him that it was our special day and not to let him ruin it. Our guestbook was amazing also! The photos didn't take very long either and they were gorgeous. Love looking at them. Thank you Cean One! read more

Beautiful studio! Friendly staff! Amazing creativity! I have been a fan since Cean photographed my wedding in 1997!

Cean One Photography is unmatched! I've been in two wedding that Cean, personally, and is dynamite team, have photographed. First the quality of service you receive is equivalent to shopping at Nordstrom; he is super attentive to everyone's needs, especially the bride and groom, and is so creative, he and his team are personable and super fun. Many of the guests commented on how great the photographer was at the wedding. By the end of both weddings, both Cean and his team were apart of the family. And then the pictures: The pictures were spectacular. Cean's strength is to move around, find and capture all these little fun and touching moments that will tell the story of the day. Oh, and the photo booth! I can only recommend getting it, it was so much fun! They brought prop so that the guests could go wild with them. It was a hit! We were even lucky enough to get Cean in the booth with the bridal party for a quick-fun picture. Overall: Cean One Photography are super creative, fun to work with, and has unmatched service - I will continue to recommend them and use their services in the future. If you are thinking of hiring a photographer, look no future and do not hesitate to hire Cean One Photography, you will NOT be disappointed! read more

THANK YOU Cean One team! Your photos and video are what will preserve the best memories from our perfect day. They did the best job capturing every moment of our wedding! The communication from booking through post wedding is extremely punctual. They are such a fun team and make you feel so comfortable! Exceeded all expectation on how quick we received anything. We will definitely be using them for future life events. Highly recommend Cean and his team! read more

Cean left immediately after our ceremony and left his assistant to do the remainder of the night. Did not say anything or apologize. My wife and I are truly saddened by this experience with them. The photos he took were good while he was there, but he totally bailed and the quality of the work done after he left was not the same. We will never forgive them for this. read more

First impressions are always great to start off a business relationship. My son had a great experience with his new born and 7 month photo sessions. Lots of fun shots and creative ideas. My wife enjoys viewing Cean One Photography, as do I myself. Each member of Cean One Photography are very professional and friendly. They get it done. No BS You stay classy San Diego read more

So it's been a few months since the wedding and I just wanted to write an update for Cean's team.. We all know Cean is an amazing photographer and I can sit here and write more about him from the wedding, but I really want to focus my update on the team. I have heard horror stories of people not getting their photos or their photographer not emailing them back after the wedding. Two weeks after the wedding, we had our pictures with instructions on how to select for our wedding album and a streamline and efficient process. I would like to give a special shout out to Richard who has been the most patient person with me through this post wedding process. He has responded to every single email, phone call, etc. Just an awesome guy! Also, Britney is amazing.. she is also super responsive and reassuring. The work quality speaks for itself for all the photographers out there at Cean One.. But the team and the customer service hit it out of the park! Thank you Cean One for making our day so special and for dealing with crazy brides like me with such poise, respect and timeliness :) read more

Love Cean and his staff! As an event manager, I've worked with Cean One Photography on several weddings and special events - and all of my clients have been more than happy and satisfied with their work. He and his crew are not only professional and reliable, but are fun and easy to work with. Can't wait for him to shoot my own upcoming wedding and baby photos! Wouldn't trust anyone else. read more

WOW- I feel sorry for the people below writing negative comments about Cean One Photography for many reasons: Not only did you miss out on PHENOMENAL photos that people still compliment me on, you lost money by your own neglect. Just about anyone knows who plans a wedding that 95% of vendors will have you pay up front. For a high, in-demand company like Cean One, that's outrageous to think you could cancel the night before and get your money back. Although I was the bride, my father handled most of my vendor contracts. He has been a businessman for 35 years, reviewed every word of our contracts, and never ONCE flinched at the contract details or paying up front. I suggest you should have hired a friend if you figured otherwise. With that said, I got married last Sept and my experience with Cean One was impeccable. Not only could I get a hold of Cean whenever I needed to, I never had any trouble getting in touch with Jeremy, Katie, Harleene, and anyone else on the team. For how talented they are and how happy I was with both my engagement and wedding photos, I would have paid a lot more for the product I received. I currently live in TN, and I have friends here that say that my photos are so good that they will fly Cean out for their weddings. I would recommend than to ANYONE and know Cean will be shooting me and my future babies--I wouldn't choose anyone else. For anyone out their looking for a photographer for your family, wedding, babies, etc, it doesn't get better than Cean One Photography!!!! read more

Greatest photographer & team in So Cal!!! I was lucky enough to hire Cean as my wedding photographer 13 years ago and it turned out to be the best decision I made!! Since then, Cean & his staff have done newborn photos, Christmas cards & many, many family photos for me. I have proudly recommended him to my friends who now consider him the ONLY photographer to use for their families. He has the most courteous & professional staff! It is always easy to get in touch with them & they bend over backwards to assist you. You can say great service may cost more but honestly, his prices are comparable to any reputable photography studio and the results are well worth it! Besides the amazing service, the photos are beyond amazing! Every time I have any photos done with Cean One, they look as if they should be featured in magazines! You will NEVER regret hiring Cean One for your events....you may regret it if you don't!! read more

With the price you would expect more for your photos. Out of the 1000 photos I received prob less than 50 edited copies. The rest look similar to photos my friend took with their camera. read more

Really not impressed with their work. We had Cean One do our wedding in Temecula a few months ago and our coordinator really talked highly about the company, however, in the end my husband and I less than thrilled working with the company. Before we signed the contract, the company seemed great always calling us back and replying to our emails answering our questions, but the second we signed the contract they completely swept us under the rug. Jeremy would not reply to our emails, texts or phone messages for weeks until I personally had to call the office and speak with Cean abut the incident. Being an overwhelmed bride with the whole planning process Cean One did not keep us in the loop of what to expect and how our big day would go. My bridal party and family kept asking what time they would be needed for pictures and our photographer, Jeremy, did not tell us until the day before the wedding and by text no less. I am personally the type of bride that does not know how to pose as I am not in front of a camera often and need to be told where to put my hand or which way to face and Jeremy did not do that at all. I look at my pictures now and the whole time I was holding my bouquet too high and you can't see the top of my dress. Also a piece of my hair was sticking straight out and he never fixed it. Perhaps the thing that annoyed me most about the photography is the fact that Jeremy rushed through our wedding from the moment he got there to the moment he left. The next day I found Jeremy on Facebook and he checked him and his friends in at a bar at 10:30pm the night of my wedding. Now I see what is more important to him. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

While Cean does take wonderful pictures, I would have say the customer service was horrible for me. I didn't have Cean as the photographer. It was another one of his photographers instead. I told the photographer that I am uncomfortable with cameras, and it was shown on my photos. Pictures were mainly just the expected ones without candid moments. She missed major family photos that I will never be able to have now. My mother-in-law requested for a framed portrait of the entire groom's family and I don't have one with everyone in it to give to her. I was promised that there will be a review of all my photos to see if it was actually taken, but that never happened. I was given a CD with my photos on it, but the CD won't open. He wouldn't send me another one and has now ignored my requests. So I don't have access to copies of all my pictures!!! My album was horribly done and I had to edit every page, and the album get getting passed to a couple of different people. I will say that the final product of the album was very nice. I'm glad the others were treated with courtesy and respect, but every time I look at my wedding pictures (only in my album) I am left with a bad taste in my mouth despite a wonderful wedding day. Thousands of dollars down the drain. EDIT July 23, 2012 Cean did contact recently to try to fix the issues I had. A new CD (2 discs of photos) was sent to me. So now I have a copy of all my pictures at least. read more

I was calling different vendors about pricing packages for my friend's wedding. The first person I Spoke to was perfectly fine. It was the second person who called me back, I believe he is the photographer. Just because people can't afford your services because they are on a budget does not give you the right to say that who they do hire will not give them the quality you will. You have an arrogance to you, which fine after 18 years, you may have, but if you keep that arrogance up, word will get around and you will lose your good reputation. I will be informing Pala Mesa Resort of your rude and inconsiderate manner. And I hope you realize, you can and will be replaced in the photography world. I'm grateful that I had to deal with you and not the bride. Yes, you are right, this is something they will live with forever but I know for a FACT that they will have pictures with better quality and at more affordable prices and they won't ever have to deal with working with a self-righteous jerk as yourself. read more

Our wedding photos came out to nothing less than spectacular. Not only does Cean take breathtaking photos he also captures the moments when you think no one is looking. I completely forgot he was at our wedding. He and his team are super professional and can make even the most camera shy person feel comfortable. Everyone who has seen our wedding pictures were completely blown away and have asked for his info. If you have any kind of special event or milestone coming up you need to hire Cean and his team to turn it into an everlasting dream. The entire CeanOne Photography team deserve 5 Stars and we will be using them again in the future. read more

The cinematographer, Chris, was fantastic. However, one of their editors Bart (who is no longer employed) was very unprofessional and rude to both me and my husband. Cean personally reached out and expressed to us that our experience working with Bart was not what they stood for. He showed us that his company was about satisfying his customers and producing incredible videos. He took matters into his own hands to reassure us that we would soon receive a beautiful wedding video with exceptional quality. We were then assigned to a different editor and 1 month later received our video plus the raw footage as compensation for any unpleasantness we encountered. Although technically we didn't receive our footage until 1 1/2 years later, the footage came out beautifully. read more

Dealing with CeanOne was quite an interesting experience. It was a little bit of hit-and-miss, but in the end, we are convinced that the owner (Cean) is committed to providing great service to the folks that are his customers. Let's start with the positive: The quality of the photographs was simply beautiful. They took our engagement photos, wedding ceremony photos, and the wedding reception photos - all of them turned out great and we could not be happier. We still look at the photos all the time and can't believe how great they turned out. Now, to the negative. Their customer service was definitely not on par with the other vendors that we were working with for our wedding (food, flowers, music, etc). Let's break it down (and keep in mind that this pertains to the folks that we dealt with EXCEPT the actual photographers): - It took not just days, but sometimes weeks to get back to us on an issue. - When we did speak with them, they had a bit of an attitude as if they were doing us a favor by simply talking to us. At times, they are a bit rude and obnoxious. - They asked us for our address every single time they needed to mail us something, which was about 4-5 times. Although this may be by direction from the management, it got a little old after a while. - They screwed up a credit card charge. - They somehow managed to put the wrong year on the label of the DVD they sent us that had our wedding pictures. That was quite upsetting. Overall - here is the conclusion. The photographers (we worked with Cean and Paul) are awesome dudes, and take great (and we mean GREAT) photographs. We love their work, and probably would work with them again. Everyone else in this company that we dealt with should probably go through a couple of Customer Service orientation classes in order to better understand the owner's expectations of them. After that is accomplished, this company has the potential to become a great choice for a wedding photography vendor. read more

Sad way to try and defend your position. If you would like I can post all day the conversations for guest to read showing correspondences between a wedding coordinator and your team: "Your unwillingness to cooperate and coordinate created this mess. - Jeremy Fraser" Our wedding coordinator begged your "firm" to do their part regarding schedules and because our schedule did not match your double booked evening you were not willing to be flexible or to negotiate. So, please stop trying to justify that you tried to provide services. Just settle what you owe and move on. Note to future prospects: we have nothing from Cean One or their services to show anything from any work performed. Lastly, I am sure the Judge will love to see your posting boasting how you took us for our monies and still not provided anything for the fees collected. We suggest that you look deeper into your client relations and think about customer service. read more

Cean One Photography has the worst customer service. I was really interested in working with them for my wedding and called to schedule an appointment. No answer, left a message, no one called me back. I called again a week later and this time I left a message for Cean, its been three days and I still haven't heard back from anyone. I am a business owner and cannot imagine extending such poor service to potential clients. read more

We had really bad experience with Cean One Photography. I'm not sure if all the photographers are of such low professionalism as ours was (Paul), but I would not recommend their services to my worst enemy. Totally wasted the money plus lost the chance of having good photos from our wedding day. We had many issues with Cean One (especially with Paul... seriously, if for whatever reason you decide to use Cean One, stay away from Paul). Here are some of the main issues: Untimely responses (it took 7 months to finally get our photos), mediocre photography (uninspired, poor composition, etc --- some of the people had half of their faces cropped out and no color adjustments were made, despite that having been promised to us), and what was worst is that after waiting that long, when we got the photos, half of them where not the ones we selected! Lastly, Cean One is not cheap. We wanted to spend a little extra on our photos because your wedding is a once in a lifetime opportunity and to have those memories captured in a photograph is worth the investment. However, Cean One flushed both our money and our memories down the toilet with the crap that Paul passed off as photography. They may have may be better photographers on staff, but as a whole Cean One is not worth it. If you are looking to hire them as your wedding photographer think twice, because you will never get the chance to redo your wedding. I wish someone warned me before I made the mistake. read more
