Short story...do yourselves a favor and just book Cean now -- stellar and efficient work, great person, and reasonably priced. What more could you want?
Long story...as a guy who doesn't like taking pictures, I was not looking forward to this part of our wedding--especially since my bride is VERY picky about getting the perfect picture (I'm guessing you know what I mean!). With that being said, I'm very grateful we found Cean to be our wedding photographer.
Cean and his team were beyond incredible to work with...they made the whole process (taking photos for our engagement and wedding, cutting video, creating wedding album, etc.) super efficient, comfortable, and even (admittedly) fun for both of us.
The finished product is above and beyond what we expected (even with my picky bride!). She cries tears of joy every time she watches our wedding video or goes through our wedding album lol.
Thank you, Cean, for your part in making this an amazing experience for us all around...we're looking forward to having you do our maternity shoot!!

Ok friends, if you’re all still scrolling looking for a wedding photographer, your search is over. Seriously, do yourself a favor, and do not look at a single other photographer. You just found the best one with Cean. Cean and his team did our engagement and wedding photos, and we had such a great time, we literally left saying “how do we make him our new best friend?” My husband and I are supppppper awkward with photos, two stiff service members who have literally no idea what we are doing! Cean made us feel so comfortable, made us laugh and have fun, told us exactly what to do, and provided the most gorgeous photos we could have ever asked for. He’s officially our family’s new photographer for every future life event. I’m so grateful we found Cean to capture our special moments. Trust me, hire him now. It’ll be one of the best decisions you could make!
Cean gave us the best experience we had with anyone during the whole process i.e., introduction, engagement photos as well as wedding. He’s friendly, savvy, fun to be around & really knows how to make the pictures come alive. The cinematography of our videos was right on. Simply perfect! On top of this, his customer service was outstanding e.g., instant response time, clear communication & direction. Lastly he’s quite reasonable when it comes to price. If you’re looking for the total package then go with Cean One!
My husband and I held our wedding at The Prado in November 2021, and it was EVERYTHING we could have hoped for and more!! Marcy Melley and The Prado saw us through our initial planning and three stressful COVID postponements over two years, at every opportunity going the extra mile to be flexible, kind, and accommodating during these crazy times. They told us at the start of the pandemic that we could cancel at any time and still get our deposits back – a very different policy than many other venues during COVID and it gave us great ease of mind. The wedding day finally came after the long wait, and we could not have been happier!! We held the cocktail hour in the courtyard and reception in the Grand Ballroom. Everything went just beautifully and according to plan, and we received soo many compliments from our guests about the venue, the food, dessert, all of it! The Prado is unique and a GORGEOUS venue, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our wedding there. Thank you to Marcy and The Prado for making all of our dreams come true for our special day!!!
My daughter contracted with Cean One Photography to video her wedding that was scheduled for June 2020. Due to COVID, we had two postponements, a venue change and a date change until we were finally able to book the wedding for July 11, 2021 at Callaway Winery in Temecula, CA. Cean was able to be flexible with us and stuck with us until we were confirmed. Tony, the videographer, was so amazing. Most people never even noticed he was there. He quietly filmed the wedding from the first look until the scheduled reception events were complete. He was never intrusive, and yet he caught every important moment of the wedding. The very next day after the wedding, my daughter was sent a 2 minute sneak preview video of the wedding. We were totally blown away by the quality of the photography and the editing in such a short time. I am pretty sure we have watched the sneak preview 100 times and it brings tears to our eyes to see the happiness of our daughter and her new husband. It is obvious that Tony is highly skilled and we would recommend him to anyone needing a wedding videographer. Bravo to Cean One for documenting our daughter's special day!
Working with Cean was effortless! My fiancé and I aren’t the most photogenic people, so we were super nervous, but Cean gave us perfect direction and was so patient with us. He is amazing and knows his locations! We would 100% recommend Cean to everyone!!
Cean and his team are top notch! Cean is an expert in his field, he knew my venue so well and made outstanding recommendations, such as a "first look" with my dad, "night time shots" during my reception (after the daytime ceremony), and spur of the moment photo ops. Tony (video) and Gina (photographer 2) went above and beyond to capture my husband's and my big day, ensuring all details and angles were captured. All I can say for future brides is, "trust the process! He knows what he's doing." I'm SO happy with the sneak peek photos he sent us, the morning after our big day. Thank you Cean! Can't WAIT to see the rest.
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!
The best of the best. Our day was captured flawlessly and those memories are priceless. Cean’s professionalism is supreme. He ran our wedding day perfectly and calmed any and all moments of chaos all while capture the perfect picture. Attentive and promptly responsive working with CeanOne was the best experience of our vendor process.
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!
If you want amazing pictures, a professional and fun team, and reliability, you need Cean One Photography. Everything from our engagement shoot to the day of the wedding was awesome, and Cean is a true professional. Prompt with responses, and timely the day of the event, we truly enjoyed working with Cean and his team and would 100% recommend his services.
Let me start by saying that Cean was my first decision I made, after the Venue, about our Wedding, and it was the best decision I made so early into Planning. I could go on and on how much Cean and his team did for me and my Wedding, but no amount of words could express the level of professionalism, patience, and expertise that Cean exemplifies. He was absolutely brilliant from the beginning. Professional, efficient, friendly and, most importantly, took the most amazing and special photos of our wedding, in he most beautiful venue. He stayed patient with my color coded to do's and my long list of pictures i wanted. Even though i spent hours on those lists and such, i ended up throwing them out because that is how much i trusted Cean and his team to photograph the most incredible day of our lives. Cean will be a part of our lives forever. I have already told him he will capture all the moments of our family and how it grows and flourish. Cean, i cannot thank you enough for all you did for Cody and myself. You are a true blessing.
I can only give this company one star because the cinematographer, Chris, was fantastic. However, the entire experience of working with this company has been nothing short of unprofessional and my patience has run thin. It has been 1 1/2 years since my husband and I got married and we have yet to receive our product, paid in full, as agreed upon on our contract. Working with their editor, Bart, was incredibly frustrating. He was rude and had no inkling of what customer service means. We have contacted the company on multiple occasions and attempted to email and contact the owner to voice our concerns but have received no solution to our problem. Do not book this company. If I am paying thousands of dollars for your service, I expect pristine service and with exceptional quality. At this point, all I want is what we paid for.
Cean and Chris have an amazing gift of capturing the most important moments during your wedding. Every photographed told a story. After receiving our pictures, I couldn't help cry out of joy since it brought back such fabulous memories. I wish every day could be our wedding day.
We used Cean for our engagement and wedding photos, and they are absolutely GORGEOUS! We just got our wedding gallery back (less than 3 weeks after our wedding date) and are so happy with how all of the photos turned out. Cean is so much fun to work with and definitely puts you at ease. My husband isn't super comfortable posing and smiling in formal pictures, but Cean was able to get a bunch of really good photos by making us laugh. He also made sure to pose us in flattering positions and to tell us if something looked weird so we could adjust it. He really has an eye for what will look good in photos and was able to capture all of our special moments perfectly. We really appreciated how quickly he was able to do our photos at our wedding- we had plenty of time to mingle with our guests and enjoy the wedding rather than spending the entire time getting photos done, which is exactly what we wanted and is typically not the case with most photographers (from what we've heard from friends). The photo booth that they did at the wedding was a big hit with all the guests and they loved taking home some fun photos as favors. A lot of my communication was with Brittney, and she was always thorough in answering my questions and making sure the details were taken care of (although as others have noted sometimes it does take a week or 2 to get an email response, so if you need something urgently calling is definitely better). All in all, we could not be happier with our experience and our photos, and can't wait to see our finished album. Hopefully we will be back in a few years for some family photos :)
Cean and his team are just fabulous! He came highly recommended from a few of my friends and he was a great choice. Starting with our engagement photos, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed and the photos were spectacular. He's friendly and easy to work with. For the day of the wedding, everyone was on time and professional. Cean has such attention to detail that he noticed one of my bridesmaids had her ears pierced but wasn't wearing earrings. When he pointed it out she realized had forgotten to put them in! His team is very responsive to email and proofs were returned in a timely fashion. They helped us create save the dates, thank you cards as well as wedding book. Our package including the engagement shoot, wedding shoot, videographer and photo booth. One added bonus is that in the end, we get all of the photos and videos on a jump drive (some photography groups charge you extra for the digital copies). I fully recommend Cean to anyone and plan on using him again for baby and family photos in the future!
Cean One Studio and owner Cean Orrett were recommended by family and we had witnessed their work firsthand at a family member’s wedding. I was very impressed with Cean’s work, as he took the most beautiful pictures even though it poured rain on their wedding day. We first met with him for our engagement session in downtown LA. I was very nervous, as I had never done a photo shoot before. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Cean was very professional, yet laid back and he made us laugh and have a good time. The pictures came out amazing. Our wedding pictures were even more amazing! He took so many photos that it was actually hard to choose because they were all so good. I really liked the pictures he took of the venue set-up, the candles, the cake, and our memory table. I would definitely recommend using Cean One for any special event.
we used Cean one for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He is amazing to work with and the photos are absolutely perfect. He was able to wrangle all 9 groomsmen, 6 bridesmaids, 2 sets of parents and various family members the day of and make sure that we were on schedule throughout the entire day. The pictures he set up were drop dead gorgeous, he knows how to work with the lighting and our venue to have the most ideal backdrop. He worked with all of our vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly. We look forward to working with him for all of our future family photography needs!
I worked with Jeremy for my engagement photos and Cean and Jeremy for the day of pictures. They made everything feel so relaxed. For the engagement photos, Jeremy made us feel comfortable, and we didn't feel "staged". The day of the wedding Cean and Jeremy came in and started their work. It was great. I didn't have to worry about a thing. They knew the routine, knew the best shots and knew how to keep it fun, rather than cold and staged. I would use them for every event or any event I needed photos if I could!
I have yet to see my photos from the wedding but I am sure they are beautiful just like all the work I have seen from them. My photographers, Jeremy and Harleen, were wonderful the day of. I was running late but they still managed to capture many photos. They were very professional and helpful throughout the day. I would recommend this vendor
Jeremy was my photographer and he is such a doll, so fun to shoot with, and I have gorgeous pictures to prove what a talent he is.
Cean did everything he could do meet all our needs. He was very easy to work with and very professional. He was prompt and his packages were decently priced considering how professional and wonderful the pictures came out to be.
Great photos! We had some difficulties with the office staff but their photos are fabulous!
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. 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.
Cean One is an amazing, one of a kinda photography vendor. If you want the best, use them. Jeremy was very professional and great to work with. He was very helpful and just fun to work with. I love the artistic quality to the photos. Definitely wanted the best when it came to the photographer.
Cean One is an excellent and extremely talented photographer! His company is full of talented professionals and I LOVED my photos. We snagged a great package at a bridal show in Temecula and got our engagement photos thrown in the package without additional charge. I cannot say enough good things about Cean and his photography team. He comes highly recommended in my book!
Jeremy and his crew (Crystal and Chris) were amazing and made everybody feel comfortable. They were on time and efficient, and they took some beautiful shots. Out photos were online the week we returned from our honeymoon! We haven't ordered our album yet, but I ordered an album from Cean One where Jeremy did the photography, and I was 100% impressed and satisfied. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Get the photo booth--our guests loved it!
Jeremy and Harlene's photos of our wedding were imaginative, and stunning, and I'm so thrilled that we chose Cean One to do our photos. During our engagement shoot, I realized that we were getting to work with a really great photographer. Jeremy picked out so many off-beat settings and back-drops as we walked through our home town. He just has a great eye for interesting visual compositions. And my pictures look amazing, like a high-end magazine spread. My co-workers have made comments like, oh you're so photogenic, have you modeled! And I'm like, no way, we just had the most amazing photographers. If you're looking for a guaranteed great set of pictures that capture the moment, and make your event look amazing, I would highly recommend Cean One.
We fell in love with Cean and his staff at our engagement seesion. Then we found out we had a bun in the oven :) We then booked several family sesions to document our new addition. The Baby Package is awesome! So to then work with the team again at our wedding we were so excited to work with our now official photographers for life!!!
Jeremy was my photographer and Chris assisted him. They were both great, and super fun. It rained on my wedding day so it started out kinda blah but they arrived early and caught as many shots as we could in the sunlight. Everything from our engagement session to the final photos turned out so great and we were super happy with them. Can't wait to get my album!
Paul (who no longer works at Cean One) was our photographer. This review is of Paul and his work. He did the wedding and the engagement photos. All my photos turned out amazing and his customer service was outstanding. I can't say much for any of the other employees because I really haven't worked with them. Cean one is overpriced and you pay for the name. I will not be using them in the future.
Cean was highly recommended to us. We LOVE his work. Cean was the first vendor we hired for our wedding. He photographed our engagement session on the beach and our wedding.He is so creative with people, their different personalities, with children, with lighting, and with his settings. He captures every moment you ask him to and many more you didn't even think about. Cean is so easy to work with and gets along with everyone. His staff is friendly and communicate well. We would recommend him to anyone!!!
We truly loved working with these guys - such beautiful work. They only get 4 out of 5 stars as we have trouble with some of the people answering the phones - we tend to get different answers depending on who we talk to. Also, we had some trouble viewing our wedding photos - multiple passwords to the online gallery did not work - which can be very frustrating when you are trying to view your wedding photos you have been waiting for.
They are very expensive - but in the end, you get what you pay for. Don't skimp on the wedding photos - you will only regret it in the end.
We met with Cean's assistant and were quite disappointed in his unwillingness to work with us. Although the pictures he takes are nice, we did not appreciate his rigid prices and inability to work within our budget.
Cean One Photography was truly professional and willing to go above and beyond. They were on top of everything. They made sure we got all the shots we could have ever imagined! They had 2 photographers. Top of the line lighting and lens package. Blocking was fantastic and the used ambient spill lighting. My husband is a film producer and he was very impressed with their equipment and their knowledge of how to get the perfect shot. They even made sure to grab us during the reception to for "magic hour" and the perfect sunset shots. The photos exceeded our wildest expectations. They also had great personalities to bring out the best in even our most photo shy members of our wedding party. We already want to renew our vows just to have them shoot more photos. We will use Cean One for all of our special occasions and their prices were extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend Cean One!!! They are
I love Cean One Photography. I used them for my college Senior Portraits and again in October 2010 for my wedding. Our pictures are gorgeous and overall I am happy with them. The only thing I suggest is making sure your photographer/s know exactly what you want. Because they use a very artistic/modern style, it is important to mention if you want a classic wedding portrait taken as well. Their prices can be expensive, but not outrageous.
My wedding pictures turned out so beautiful. Jeremy is the best! He captured every magical moment!
When I saw Cean One's photos for the first time, I fell in love. I HAD to have them shoot our wedding...no one else would do after seeing how beautiful and creative their photos are. They shot our engagement photos in downtown Riverside and wedding at the Mission Inn...the pictures are GORGEOUS! We absolutely got our money's worth, and then some! Thanks guys! :)
From the moment that I first spoke with Cean and his crew, I was sold. Every person that we met with were genuinely excited about our engagement, our wedding, our honeymoon, and our wedding photography. We discussed many different locations for our engagement pictures and decided on the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Cean knew everything about the venue and the best time to catch the best lighting. The engagement pictures and book were great.
Our wedding was in December at night at the MIssion Inn in Riverside. From the moment that Desiree and Paul showed up, they made me feel at ease, and really worked to get the best pictures possible. They were patient with my husband's family, who don't all speak English, and really captured the emotions that we were all going through. The shots that they got during the ceremony were PHENOMENAL, as were the ones of me and my husband around the Mission Inn after the ceremony. The lighting came out perfectly. We were not dark at all, nor were we washed out. After we got our proofs and they put a book together for us, their editor sat with us for upwards of 2 hours, fixing little things here and there, changing pictures, changing backgrounds, making some photos black and white.
I always felt like our event was the most special and the most important to whomever was working with us. I could not be more pleased with the photos nor with the service.
We used Cean for our engagement and wedding photos. He has a unique and creative style of photography. He completely understood us as a couple and took the most amazing photos. We will use him again once our baby is born!
He took the most beautiful photos. He was quick. He knew exactly where to take the best pictures at our venue. VERY PROFESSIONAL!!;He is expensive but you get what you pay for.
We had some interesting family dynamics, and they were willing to work really well with the families. Also they were open to suggestions, when we took our first round of photos it was about 100 degrees outside so around 7pm we asked if we could reshoot a few 'portraits' just in clase we looked sweaty. But both sets came out really great. We were able to send out our photos to everyone online for viewing and purchasing, so that anybody could go online and buy there own and didn't have to go through us.;We needed to be more specific in pictures we wanted. We have great photos, but I would have loved to see more of the guests at the reception, however we were really limited on time.
