We had the pleasure of working with the Cheetahs for both our wedding DJ and photography services, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. From the start, they were incredibly professional and took the time to understand what we wanted for both the music and the photos. Neither of us had much experience with getting professional photos taken, but the Cheetahs made us feel completely at ease!
For the engagement shoot, Nadine and Aidan were patient, giving us great guidance on posing while still making everything feel natural. We were able to get some amazing shots with the wintery Boston weather. On the wedding day, the photography was just as impressive! As for the music, Brian did a fantastic job reading the room and keeping the energy just right. They collaborated with the venue coordinators to make sure the timing for the night was just right. The playlist was a great mix of our favorite songs and crowd-pleasers, ensuring everyone had a great time dancing and celebrating. If you're looking for someone who can handle both the music and photography, and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, we highly recommend the Cheetahs. They truly helped make our wedding day special and memorable in every way!

Could not recommend Cheetah DJ & Photography enough! Brian DJ'd/MC'd our wedding in Salem, MA and so many of our guests came up to us after saying how much they loved him. He was so positive, fun, full of energy and really hit the nail on the head with the music selection - it was exactly what we wanted. I found them on the Knot and they only had raving 5 star reviews so you know you'll be in good hands! Would 10/10 hire them again. Thank you Brian & Nadine!

Cheetah photography did a wonderful job in helping me plan my engagement and corresponding engagement shoot. I was planning an engagement in Salem from out of state and they helped me find a place to propose and where we can take photos. The engagement went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend this team!

I started working with the Cheetah team when they were in CA and in the process of moving to the Boston area. From the start, I loved the idea of a family team working together. This was a great choice! It made everything so seamless. Nadine, Brian and Aiden were phenomenal! So flexible and well organized, making sure of every detail. They also made sure we got all of the shots we wanted to prioritize. The photos turned out stunning! Thank you Cheetahs!

I am so freaking happy that we chose Cheetah DJ & Photography to do our wedding photos. We live in Florida and went to Salem to do our photos for our Halloween Wedding. They did NOT disappoint! They had a bunch of locations planned, and we got fantastic photos at all of them. There are so many it is hard to choose favorites. With the team of 3, they paid attention to every little detail, and it shows. I would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone.

Easy booking process with Cheetah DJ & Photography for our wedding. We booked multiple services through this talented family with 1 contract. Brian, Nadine & Aidan are professional and fun to work with! They provided a comprehensive wedding package that was easy to complete. The Cheetah Photo Booth was a huge hit that takes video and photos. The Lighting was beautiful, the dance lights, monogram and the uplighting enhanced our photos and room. We highly recommend hiring the Cheetah Team as your DJ and Photographers.

WE COULD NOT BE MORE THRILLED WITH HOW EVERYTHING TURNED OUT!!!!!
When we were researching vendors, I absolutely loved the idea of a husband and wife team who worked together seamlessly, and that's exactly what we got. One of the best ways I can highlight our experience is actually from a story one of my friends shared with me after the fact.
Once we had finished all the portraits, Nadine headed to the venue to get shots of the decor while my husband and I took a few minutes to ourselves. My girlfriends were already down there helping with finishing touches, and there was a discussion about the color of the uplighting. I'd requested pink, and we're untraditional but laid back. I guess at first it was a softer pink, but my friends had been trying to convince Brian that the hot pink/fuchsia uplighting wouldn't be too over the top for me.
Nadine catches that conversation and tells him she just spent plenty of time with the bride and can say confidently that the brighter pink is the right choice. She was right. I LOVED IT.
The music was amazing and kept the party going all night, and Brian even helped us pull off a surprise ceremony without a hitch!
It was the pink and sequin wedding of our dreams and Cheetah DJ & Photography was a huge part of making it happen!

We cannot recommend Brian, Nadine, and Aidan enough! They were truly the consummate professionals and helped guide us through every step of our day. From the set up and getting ready shots, through the first look and ceremony, and finally with the reception they were everywhere they needed to be and captured the mood and feeling of the day entirely within their photos. We were lucky enough to work with them previously for our proposal photos and the choice to ask them to work at our wedding was the best choice we could have made.
Brian was excellent as a DJ and we have had family and friends constantly letting us know how much fun he was during cocktail hour and the reception. He was incredibly thorough in making sure the wedding would go to plan and came fully prepared for the day of.
Nadine and Aidan were the perfect shooting pair and were able to quickly and efficiently corral everyone through the photos and got all of the ones we had requested ahead of time and more. We got our photos back and fell in love instantly with their style and how they have portrayed us. If we had to do it all over again, there is no doubt in our mind we would stick with the Cheetahs once again. 1000/10 and everyone should 100% look into their services.

Brian and Nadine were incredible to work with! Having a husband and wife team working as the DJ and photographer is exactly what every wedding needs. Their son Aidan as the second shooter helped to make sure every angle was captured and the photo booth they brought was so much fun for all of our guests. Brian was able to help coordinate family photos while Nadine and Aidan made sure that they got the perfect shot for every picture we took. Brian made sure that all of our song choices were included and that all of our guests were enjoying their time throughout the evening. We could not have asked for a better family to work our wedding!

I couldn't possibly put into words how wonderful the Cheetah's made our special day. As a gay couple, I was nervous about finding wedding vendors who are open and accepting, and this was never a question with Brian and Nadine. We hit it off from the start, and it was a natural match with their (obvious) love of cheetahs, and me being a zookeeper who has cared for cheetahs before. Weddings are of course very expensive, and we were able to work out a budget that was acceptable to both parties.
The Cheetah's provided us with a detailed questionnaire for both DJ and photography services which helped to streamline the planning. They were very open to working with our unique requests and tailored their services to our satisfaction.
Our wedding day was the best day of my life, very much in part to Brian, Nadine, and Aidan. When they arrived, we were of course behind schedule and scrambling around, and both Nadine and Aidan patiently waited for us to get ourselves together while Brian set up his equipment in the reception hall and the ceremony site. Our guests had an amazing time at both the ceremony and reception and while we were initially quoted several weeks before the photos would be ready, we received the full album in exactly 3 weeks! Their online gallery allows you to download the data heavy high-resolution photos for yourself, as well as smaller web suitable photos for posting on social media. Thank you so much Brian, Nadine, and Aidan for a day that exceeded every expectation we had.

Brian, Nadine, and Aidan were an integral part of our big day. I didn’t have a wedding planner and was a bit clueless about photo scheduling the day of the ceremony, but the Cheetah’s provided me with a great detailed suggestion and I’m forever thankful for that! Brian was a joy to work with, with his positive attitude and willingness to accommodate and help out throughout the pre-wedding process and during the wedding day. He did an incredible job as the DJ at our wedding (our guests had wanted another hour with the DJ/music). That’s how good he is! And the uplighting, Monogram, and Dance lights turned the wedding hall into a whole new environment. It was beautiful and fun!
Nadine and Aidan (the second shooter) were an amazing team together as our photographers. Our cluelessness kicked in again (my husband and I had never done a photo shoot together before) but Nadine was there to guide us and throw out suggestions for poses and backdrops. She also was great about reviewing photos throughout the night and reshooting if she felt it would create better shots. We ended up getting some incredible photos from the Cambria Christmas lights that I will savor forever.
Aidan was awesome to have as a second shooter. He was able to capture different angles from things like the first glance, and the shots with the lights that provide a whole new feel. He and Nadine work together so smoothly and make for a great pair of photographers. I highly suggest using them both for your wedding.
(Can I also mention what a cool family they are? Such a style!)

Josh & I knew right away that Cheetah DJ & Photography was perfect for us on our big day! We absolutely loved the idea of having a family business being such a big part of our wedding day, best decision ever! Brian and Nadine work so well together and it was a bonus to have their son Aiden as our second photographer. Nadine is just a vibe!
We got our photos back in amazing time and loved every single one of them. Nadine & Aiden really captured our personalities and goofiness in every picture. So much emotion in every picture.
Brian lit up the night with his DJ skills! Our wedding was SO MUCH fun and it has so much to do with the music being played and his ability to match the guests energy and vibe was immaculate.
Overall the best decision to have them apart of our wedding day team, they even sent us a DJ mix as a gift after. The sweetest!

Cheetah, we loved the convenience of booking a husband and wife DJ & Photography team. We had our wedding in San Luis Obispo & immediately thought of the Cheetah‘s. They’re reputable, so it was a no brainer. Brian, Nadine & Aidan are amazing professionals and easy to work with. Music and photos are spectacular. Their lighting gave elegance to our wedding. Cheetah’s photo booth was so much fun and easy to use. Look no future if you’re looking for true professionals. Cheetah DJ & Photography are the best & worth every dollar. Thanks to the Cheetah’s we had the time of our life’s!

Nadine, Brian, and Aidan surpassed our expectations from the very beginning working with them. They are very professional and experienced! We were impressed with our engagement photoshoot and couldn’t wait for Nadine to work her magic at our wedding. We even got extra angles of photos from their son Aidan as well which added even more beautiful pictures. We recommend the Cheetah’s for Dj and photography services!

This took me way to long to post! My wedding was June 2022 and I am so happy we went with CheetahDJ&Photography! Nadine, Brian and thier son Aidan are very down to earth and had great vibes the whole wedding! All our guests had nothing but positive things to say about them. They were all very impressed. The music was so good! It was all very smooth and the transitions were perfect. Brian does a great job reading the room and playing appropriate music to keep the dance floor going. I am also glad he convinced us to do the Photo Booth, Uplighting, Monogram & Dance Lights. It really made everything come together. The photobooth was a huge hit and it was SO easy for everyone to use. Nadine did fantastic with our photos!!! She really nailed it! I cant stop staring at our photos and that's coming from someone who usually does not like themselves in photos! I have never felt more beautiful in my life! We also bought photos from their son ( Aidan ) who was shadowing during the wedding. I was a little nervous about buying more photos but I'm so glad we did because we loved those photos too! It was like seeing our wedding from a 2nd perspective. There were quite a few artsy shots that I really enjoyed because the majority of our pictures were traditional. I cant thank you guys enough for the wonderful job you did! Book with the Cheetahs! <3 <3

If we could give more stars on the rating we TOTALLY would!!! The Cheetah’s are the best husband & wife DJ & photography team. From day one Brian was very detailed & professional covering all my questions & more. They had great communication all the way up to our wedding day & that was huge for me. They showed up & introduced themselves to both my husband & I & went straight to work. Not only is Brian a great DJ with perfect music choices but he’s also an awesome MC. Nadine was very patient & professional with my girls & I as we took a little longer to get ready. Her ideas & photos turned out even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. If you are planning a wedding, you will not be disappointed one bit with these 2. Thank you both again for making our special day even more perfect!!!

We are so happy we chose the Cheetahs for our wedding! Leading up to the wedding it was so easy to get in contact with the team to ask any questions or plan music and photo lists, not to mention how easy it was on us to have our DJ and photographer come packaged together. On the day, Brian, Nadine and Aiden were on top of everything. Brian kept everyone on time and kept the guests entertained while Nadine and Aiden made sure to get every shot perfect. All of our guests were so impressed with the Cheetahs. I don't regret investing in quality DJ and photo services, they made our wedding so fun and special.

I had originally decided to reach out to the Cheetah’s because of how beautiful the pictures were on these websites. Luckily, in doing so we found an amazing wedding photographer AND DJ. Nadine was incredibly patient and helpful, I am so thankful in her direction of how to pose. On top of that the photos came out absolutely stunning! Then there was Brian who did an excellent job setting up the sound equipment for the ceremony so that all of our guests could hear during an especially windy afternoon. He also managed to fix our bamboo arch so it didn’t fall on us during the ceremony, which was definitely going above and beyond! Then for our cocktail hour and reception the song choices were absolutely perfect! Our dance floor was packed throughout the entire night. He also provided uplighting and a monogram which really enhanced the look of the ballroom.
We also decided to go with the Photo Booth which was an absolute hit, and has provided us with even more excellent photos of all our guests.

Brian, Nadine, and their son Aidan were such a great additions to our special day. From the moment we inquired about their services they were extremely professional, responded very quickly to all emails/texts, and never made us feel pressured to do anything. Brian was a hit and our dance floor was going strong all night. We also added the dance floor lights and uplighting to our package, which made our night even more magical and added all the fun vibes!
Nadine and Aidan were so easy to work with and made us comfortable in front of the camera (which is important!). From our engagement shoot, to the venue walk through, to our wedding day, this team was with us step by step listening to all of our ideas and personalizing their services to meet our needs. The three of them worked effortlessly as a team and we had so much fun working with them. We highly recommend working with the Cheetahs!!

Book this DJ!!! We used their DJ/MC services along with lighting and photo booth (we already had a photographer booked). We have never seen a wedding where so many people have danced for so long! Brian really got the party going and kept it going. Since the wedding we have had many guests go out of our way to tell us how much fun they had and how much the loved the DJ and the Dancing. Everyone had a blast with the photo booth and it wasn't distracting and still fit with our more formal theme. The lighting just took the space over the top to create a magical feeling! Book this DJ you will not be disappointed. Working with them was a blast.

Cheetah DJ and Photograph were amazing. It’s so hard to find both a Dj and photographer together and they have such a loving bond that we felt so comfortable around them. They were easy going and easy to talk to. It can be difficult finding professionals that support the LGBTQ community so when we heard they supported us we knew they were the right choice. Our pictures came out so beautiful and Nadine’s turn around time was fast for our pictures. She took so many great pictures and truly puts the pro in professional. The set up they had with the lights and dance floor was amazing and they even added in extra up lighting to make our night more magical! Best husband and wife duo for all your DJ and Photography needs I definitely recommend them! :)

Brian and Nadine Cheetah of DJ Cheetah & Cheetah Photography are a great team for your best day ever. Them being husband and wife duo allowed our wedding to go smoothly and they played off one another. Brian helps Nadine get the perfect shot, whether he allows her access or helps set the scene. It was amazing how they worked together and before he made announcements she would make sure everyone was there that needed to be. They've been at this for years and it shows. This couple flow through was so patient with me when filling out my wants because I was super Indecisive.Nadine's photographic skills caught every special moment on my favorite day.

Nadine did so well with capturing our favorite moments and with her creativity when it came to taking Bride and Groom shots. On top of all of this, they were just absolutely so fun to be around and we cannot thank them enough.

DJ Cheetah & Cheetah Photography are a wonderful husband & wife team! They've been at this for 20 years, and it shows!
They handle the stressful day (and numerous other vendors) with calm and ease - making it fun and enjoyable. Nadine's photography skills are top notch and produce amazing results. She was incredibly effective in making sure we got all the shots we wanted as a couple and with our family - without making us feel rushed Brian was not only the DJ - but also Nadine’s photography assistant. He brings so much fun to the day! He is also an amazing DJ. All our guests were on the dance floor and we danced for hours! Brian's song transitions were so well done! Thank you so much to Brian and Nadine for being with us on our special day - and to anyone unsure of who to hire for your wedding: seriously look no further you've found your match.

My husband and I feel so fortunate to have found the Cheetah’s! From the moment we first spoke with them all the way until after the wedding, we were grateful to have them on our team.
We were initially supposed to be married on August 15, 2020… so when we called them in May saying we were going to postpone until July 17, 2021, they couldn’t have been more gracious.
Their attention to detail is unmatched. They are incredibly organized with what photos you want, song requests, who is who in the wedding party and much more. We had A LOT of song requests and Brian played every single one without question. Many people left our wedding saying he was the best DJ they’ve ever heard at a wedding and we both agree - he read the room, kept the party going and played hit after hit. All of our guests woke up sore the next morning from all of the dancing.
Nadine is a gifted photographer who makes you feel so at ease when you’re shooting with her. You can be in the moment without feeling posed or awkward. She captured so many gorgeous moments throughout our day and we can’t help but smile everytime we look at them.
We added the photobooth for a little extra fun and I’m so glad we did! We captured even more timeless moments on the dance floor and of our guests because of it.
Thank you Team Cheetah for being with us! We feel so grateful we found you and can’t thank you enough for making our perfect day even more… well, perfect.

Our wedding was a BLAST and Brian made it. I was a mobile DJ in the past so I definitely went into this a little skeptical. Excellent communication leading up to the day and then when it was time to perform - he brought it. MC-ing--just the right amount(some DJs can actually talk TOO much!)...got the crowd pulled in, made every announcement that we requested.
We had a beach ceremony and Brian had a battery powered system to mic up our officiant and hand held mics for us to read our vows. The system also played our music loud enough to be heard over the ocean - BEAUTIFUL!
The reception - what a blast. He played all our requests and then some with great personal choices. AND, with his past experience of beat mixing and scratching - he added a little, per my request, and it WAS A HIT!!
ORDER the photo-booth option - you won't regret it. Our family and friends loved it. So many pics to enjoy!
Awesome job, very professional, crowd pleaser - I'd hire him in a heartbeat again

Best duo ever! My husband and I immediately loved the idea of working with a family business, and they did not disappoint! Brian and Nadine were very communicative from the start and were always open to our suggestions. Our engagement photoshoot with them was so fun! Nadine knew the best spots to capture the perfect pictures. Brian provided so much enthusiam during this session and assisted Nadine in positioning us for the photos that are still our favorite today. At our wedding, Brian played all of the songs we wanted, which was a very long list! He made a huge difference in the flow of the wedding. Our guests knew exactly where to go and what to do. We put our full trust in Brian conducting the announcements/transitions and it made our day stress free. We loved how direct Nadine was for our photos before the wedding and during. She was great energy to be around and had amazing suggestions for the photos that we did not even think about. We really enjoyed our time with this couple and are so happy we found their business. We highly recommend Cheetah DJ & Photography!

Cheetah DJ & Photography were incredible to work with! From our engagement photos, to our wedding day, everything was perfect! Brian and Nadine were there every step of the way and were so supportive and encouraging throughout the entire planning process. Our guests said it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to and our family and friends have loved seeing our wedding photos. Brian's lighting and DJ skills were phenomenal and Nadine's creativity and artistic touch made our photos so special. We are so thankful for them and all they did to make sure our wedding day everything we had hoped for and more.

Brian and Nadine truly do an amazing job! On the sat of the wedding Nadine was on top of all the pictures and had everyone doing what was necessary to get the best photo. She made me feel comfortable and had me laughing a lot. Brian was awesome at coordinating events and making sure everyone was around at the right moment. Which is super difficult for my family. We loved how they have everyone get on the dance floor for a picture—so sweet! We are grateful we chose the Cheetahs for our wedding!

Brian and Nadine are the absolute best! On relatively short notice, they were able to work with me on capturing the moment when I proposed in Pismo Beach, CA. Brian and Nadine were the consummate professionals, and blended in perfectly so that my girlfriend did not even notice they were as we were walking up to the spot. The pictures we got were wonderful and Nadine did a beautiful job shooting and editing them. Even better, she did them on such a quick turnaround time I cannot help but be amazed at how service oriented they were. We have not yet decided on when or where to have the wedding which is the only reason why we haven't booked their services again already. They are kind and easy to talk to and help to make the moment less stressful. I 100% recommend them to anyone looking for an engagement or wedding photographer.

OMG! The Cheetah’s are phenomenal. Nadine & Brian Cheetah are a breathe a fresh air:) We added their enhancement package which included the Photo Booth, Dance Lighting, Uplighting, Monogram Light, and they highlighted our cake with a white pinspot light. Cheetah Photo Booth was crazy FUN! The Open Air Photo Booth was easy to use and all our guests had a blast, it brought out everyones inner happy. We felt like superstars when Brian announced us at the Grand Entrance and Nadine was snapping pictures from all angles. We sat down at the head table and looked around the room with our jaws dropped because the room looked so elegant with the amber uplighting and the monogram name light provided by the Cheetahs. Their dance lighting was amazing with so many colors changing that added excitement to the dance floor. The music was seamless through the entire wedding. Brian and Nadine kept the flow of the wedding in an organized and professional manner. Brian professionally MC’ed from his welcome introduction which was very informative through all the wedding events. Nadine was extremely helpful, she made us feel very comfortable with the camera, she even helped us on where to cut the cake. Between the 2 of them, they coordinated all the events with attention to detail like pros. DJ Cheetah perfectly mixed the music & Cheetah Photography provided beautiful pictures.

WOW!! Brian & Nadine CHEETAH are the epitome of a DJ & PHOTOGRAPHER. We added their PHOTO BOOTH & LIGHTING, which enhanced our wedding. Their services are exceptional with top notch equipment. I’m also a Wedding Photography of 20 years, so I understand equipment & the business. You can imagine all the DJ’s I’ve worked within my years, but DJ Cheetah wins! Brian’s mixing ability & songs choices were spot on & he kept the wedding right on schedule as an expert MC. Nadine is just incredible & her pictures are astonishing. I wish I could have Cheetah Photography as my 2nd shooter, but she is obviously established with her business. All of our guests stated this was the best wedding they have ever attended, thanks to the CHEETAH Team!!

Brian and Nadine Cheetah of DJ Cheetah & Cheetah Photography are the best team you can work with on your special wedding day. From the first call with both of them, it was very professional and they understood what we wanted for our wedding. They talked us through the process of music and pictures. They alter sent us a packet to complete which made wedding day pictures easy. The music by DJ Cheetah was perfect. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour to the reception. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. He provided comments when needed and just kept the party going. Nadine was just amazing and our pictures were breathtaking. She knew what and when to take the shots. We couldnt have been happier.
We knew we made the right decision with these amazing team. Truly professionals and experts at what they do. Do not think twice about hiring them for your special day. You will not be disappointments and your expectations will be surpassed.
I cannot thank you both enough for such a wonderful DJ and Photographer. You made everything perfect AND we have great pictures to prove it.

Due to Covid-19, we had to switch our original wedding date and Cheetah and Cheetah were originally booked on our new wedding day. However, they worked with that couple to allow us to at least use Nadine as our photographer. We appreciated their flexibility and helpfulness in these unprecedented times. The other couple cancelled last minute which allowed Bryan to come and assist Nadine for the day. This ended up working out perfectly because our new wedding day was extremely windy and Bryan was always there to help me adjust my dress. Nadine has a great eye for detail and for perfect lighting. She took amazing shots of us using all of the different landscapes of our venue. I loved that Cheetah and Cheetah are a husband and wife team. We were thrilled with our photos and can't wait to hang them in our home. Cheetah and Cheetah are worth every penny and I could not recommend them more to capture your special day!

Brian and Nadine went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Brian did a fantastic job with the music selections and even when we told him to use his best judgment during fill in music. He kept the wedding flowing from beginning to end. Nadine was great and in capturing every memorable moment during our wedding. You can tell she has the eye for detail that the average person wouldn’t see. All in all they were both excellent and profession throughout the whole process. Go with them! You won’t regret it

Book the Cheetah’s, look no further. First, we were impressed with their 5 star review reputation. Then we were impressed with our 1st initial call & knew the Cheetah’s were our choice. We added their Photo Booth which was a HUGE Hit! Our names & wedding date were on all the photos, so the Photo Booth provided perfect wedding favors for our guest. Nadine is an EXPERT Photographer, she has a natural ability of perception, lighting, and angles. I’ve never seen such flattering photo’s of myself since I met Nadine. Brian has a natural DJ/MC ability. We were impressed with his expert mixing abilities! He Mc’ed the entire wedding like a champion. We were impressed with their stellar performance. We highly recommend the Cheetah’s!!!!

Brian is a total pro. He is quick to respond, he helped me plan the whole wedding, and he got that dance floor PUMPED! I’ve seriously never seen my family have such a good time. I opted for uplighting and a photo booth, and both were well worth it. The uplighting made the room look magical, and everyone loved the photo booth (the photos turned out great)! Like any groom, I was really nervous the day of and had so many questions, but I knew that I was in good hands and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. You can trust Brian to make your wedding and reception an experience you won’t forget.

My husband and I are so happy that we booked the Cheetahs! Nadine and Brian are amazing people, they are great at what they do, and helped make planning and organizing super simple for me; a bride who didn’t know the first thing about planning a wedding. They are an incredible team! We were lucky to have an engagement shoot with them last June and couldn’t be happier with the pictures. They even managed to get so many pictures of my husband genuinely smiling (I never can get him to smile for pictures). They touched base with us as the wedding approached and provided forms that ensured we picked all the specific music and photos we wanted for the wedding. When the wedding day arrived, they coordinated together and made the day super stress-free for us and everyone involved.
They made such an incredible team and were all around just fun to work with! Nadine takes such lovely pictures, some of the best photos that I have ever seen of myself. The photography was beyond any of my expectations, both the intimate and candid moments, as well as the portraits. She even managed to quickly take a bunch of unique pictures we wanted as we raced against the last bit of sunlight. Brian made such an excellent DJ!!!! It was a party and the music selection was just what we wanted!! Everyone was dancing and had a fantastic time. Even my elderly relatives joined in on the fun. I am still hearing from guests on how fun the party was. My only regret was that the day had to end. We 100% recommend the Cheetahs! Our wedding would not have been the same without them!

your engagement session shots at the peak of the flowers, what a beautiful sight. That was a beautiful Wedding! The dance floor was jumping all night long. Drinks were flowing, dance lighting was perfect with the dramatic sparkler exit. Thank you again for your business & for the Warner Bros. Studio tickets. We always love going back to Los Angeles, where we grew up!

I am writing this as the sister/planner for my brother and sister in laws wedding. Just to put things in perspective, I have never planned a wedding, they were on a tight budget and a tight deadline (planning a 275 person wedding in less then 3 months) When we were first looking for photographers I thought it was too good to be true, a husband and wife photographer and dj team who were within their budget?? Who took beautiful photos of this caliber? Could we really kill two birds with one stone?? We need to call them now and pray that they are available! Lucky for us they were!! Brian was so nice during our initial conversation and that never faltered. He was always available and on top of communicating with us, answering any questions or just having the respect to let us know if they were away when he could get back to me which made things so nice. He has great warm energy and was totally accommodating to some of our requests such as a Fire mash up of music since both my brother and his wife are firefighters. He had all 275 guests on the dance floor from the start of the dancing until the end of the night! He transformed an already beautiful room with the up-lighting they offer, it definitely made a difference and was worth the extra expense. Nadine is more quiet but creative, she manages to find beautiful light and captures the mood of the event amazingly, whether it was a quiet moment with just the bride and groom or the dance party where the bride and groom were on shoulders in the air, her photos evoke emotion and take you back to that moment. She manages to be there capturing moments but you don't even realize it. I know my sister in law said Brian was a great help to Nadine in capturing detail shots of the dress or even just making sure early guests were not opening certain doors and ruining our shots. The fact that they both work and live in the SLO area makes them great resources for other vendors in the area as well as experts at the venues in the area. That was helpful to me (the inexperienced planner/sister) because I could lean on them to tell me where they like to set up, Nadine already had an idea of where to shoot and where they best locations on the property were. My brother and sister in law were very happy with the Cheetahs as well and that makes my decision to work with them feel even better! Thank you Brian and Nadine for being a part of our team and making Tucker and Lisa's wedding magic!!

only DJ & Photographer, Husband & Wife Team on the Central Coast!!!! You were such a huge part of the wedding planning. You found us & booked us on your brothers behalf, helpful sister! We appreciate the Firefighter's, bride, groom, & all for their service. So glad you that you added our Uplighting. We transformed Spanish Oaks to fire colors, it look amazing!! After all the beautiful moments & all the important photos were taken. I jumped into the mix with Fire, Burning Down the House, Firestarter, Fireball, hours of a Full Dance floor of about 300 people. I loved mixing the Fire medley, which was very relatable to kick start the PARTY!! The Dance Floor was on FIIRE with ALL the guests ALL Night Long. Nadine was in the middle of the fun chaos capturing all the crazy dance moves, crowd surfing, people stacking on shoulders, going nuts, we were laughing & having a great time while working:) The Dance was so HOT the Groomsmen dropped buckets of water from the second story to cool down the Dance Floor after I played Ring of Fire to end the crazy night!

Brian and Nadine Cheetah of DJ Cheetah & Cheetah Photography are a MUST for your best day ever.
The communication: between this husband and wife duo and how they are team players was a foundational pillar of our wedding going smoothly and without a hitch (besides us getting hitched!) How Brian expertly tossed my wedding dress in the air so that Nadine could get the perfect shot, or how he would make announcements from his DJ booth so that she could get the perfect shots on the dance floor were amazing.
The professionalism: They've been at this for 20 years and it shows. This couple flow through wedding madness and stress with ease and calm - making every moment fun and enjoyable. Nadine's photographic skills and directions were amazing. As someone who's worked with quite a few photographers in the past as a model her eye for shots is unparalleled. We were worried that there wouldn't be enough light for all our photos but she got all of our shots in perfect timing (even though we got delayed since my dress needed a last minute iron!)
Nadine was incredibly effective in making sure we got all the shots we wanted as a couple and with our family without making us feel rushed (even though we had limited light). She was also so much FUN! She has an amazing personality and made our photo sessions such a pleasure.
At first I wont lie, I wasn't sure we needed a DJ I thought we could maybe just play music and boy am I glad I didn't try to do that nonsense! Having an amazing DJ is a MUST for a wedding, and Brian was the best choice we could've made! My now husband's only request for our wedding was that it was a dance party. EVERY single guest of ours was on the dancefloor and we danced for hours! Brian's song transitions were so well done.
Also, my mom and I had planned this choreographed dance that was a combo of two songs. We accidentally forgot to tell Brian that we changed our mind on one of the songs. Brian started to play the original song we chose and we realized our mistake. Brian literally in a matter of seconds pulled out his phone, found our other song, and seamlessly song transitioned at THE PERFECT timing into our other song! It was like magic.
The adaptability, commitment, and professionalism of DJ Cheetah & Cheetah Photography is so worth any cost. Out of all the aspects of our wedding (food/venue/decor/etc..) the #1 part of our wedding was 100% the Cheetahs.
My husband and I now joke about how we would get married all over again just to have another party with the Cheetah's!
Thank you so much to Brian and Nadine for being with us on our special day - and to anyone unsure of who to hire for your wedding: seriously look no further you've found your match.

DJ Cheetah & Cheetah Photography are a dream team! My wife and I used both for our wedding, and they were fantastic. DJ Cheetah (Brian) literally kept everyone on the dance floor, and knew how to handle cues so professionally - he never missed one. He kept the music list to the songs/genre that we (the bride and groom) wanted, but kept everyone happy. People are still raving about our wedding. And Nadine (Cheetah Photography) was so well organized and truly sees her photography as an art. She asked a number of key questions far in advance: who we wanted pictures with, where we wanted pictures, the schedule breakdown of the wedding...it was so well organized. And the photos! They were awesome!! I would totally recommend this dream team for any wedding or party! Two thumbs up (four if you include my wife!).

We love working with Brian and Nadine. They have such a creative sense of style and complement each other's work so well. We used them for our engagement photoshoot 3 years ago, our wedding (which Brian also dj'ed and kept it non-stop party the whole time!), and most recently, our maternity shoot. Each one had a different theme and very specific requests and they met every one! We definitely will be using them for other life cycle events . You can't go wrong hiring this awesome couple!

My fiancé and I reached out to Cheetah Photography on such short notice for an engagement shoot and they made the date work for our needs! We aren’t locals so they suggested a location for us based on our preferences and it was PERFECT! We got our photos back way sooner than we expected, and we love every single one of them! So happy we went with Nadine & Brian to capture such a special moment in our lives! And we had a blast during our photos too!

My husband and I chose Brian to be our DJ, and Nadine to be our photographer for our wedding in June. We chose them so we could knock out two vendors at once, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to choose the Cheetahs. Brian & Nadine are so professional and an amazing team. Brian helps Nadine position the people in her shots. He was there to position the train of my dress for each photo on our wedding day. Our guests can't stop gushing over our beautiful photographs! Nadine did an amazing job at capturing the entire day. I look back through the photos and can see what a good time all our of guests had, the photos tell the whole story. Also, she very timely got the high resolution edited photos back to us. And of course everyone loved Brian, he really ran the show on the dance floor, all of our guests remember him! Can not recommend The Cheetahs enough!!

We were so happy with Brian &Nadine! We were lucky enough to have this awesome husband and wife duo for our photography and DJ services for our special day. Brian did an amazing job transitioning from each event throughout the day, and played awesome music that had my guests on the dance floor way past the last song! Everything was so detailed and organized!
His wife Nadine was our photographer and HOLY COW the photos are absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable taking photos in front of the camera with her and she captured so many behind the scenes photos that were such beautiful moments to have forever. The photos came so timely, and are so easy to access. Every photo has this gorgeous light and airy feel, and perfectly captured the fairy tale that is your wedding day. I absolutely would recommend them to anyone!

Brian and Nadine were very easy to work with and helped us not only pull off our perfect wedding but provided us with great photos to remember it by. They took the time to get to know us and were quick to respond to questions. Brian really took my music preferences into consideration and came up with a great playlist for all the different elements of the reception and Nadine captured everyone having a great time.

I have never been so excited to work with anyone as much as I had been to work with Brian and Nadine Cheetah. My wife and I found Dj Cheetah & Cheetah Photography through Yelp reviews. We were lucky and grateful to work with a team that knew the ins and outs of the business. We planned our Paso Robles wedding from Bakersfield and they made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. They were extremely helpful and had the best energies. Communication is key and they clearly outlined a plan to make our day special.
We had only a day-of wedding planner, however, Brian and Nadine helped make our wedding run smoothly. They are such an amazing team. Nadine’s photography knowledge and skills captured truly magnificent moments between my wife and I and our guests. She captured us getting ready, before, during and after the ceremony, and during the reception. My wife and I were able to have a quiet moment just before the party started. Looking back at the pictures I can remember exactly how happy I felt at that very moment.
Brian made sure our guests were entertained all night long! We gave Brian a list of our must have songs and genres and he took care of the rest! We danced the night away! Our guests had the best time which I have Brian and Nadine to thank!!!!
They are an amazing team who can read each other minds. It shows in their craftsmanship and in their professionality. If you are looking for skilled photographer and a talented Dj to make your moments special, DJ Cheetah and Cheetah Photography are the best!
I can only say thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!

One of the best decisions we made was choosing Brian as our wedding DJ! He was very flexible and helpful, working with one son who was our officiant, and another who helped 'dj' as part of our reception. He has an amazing ability to know what your guests want to hear and keep them singing and dancing all night long, including everyone from young to old. Prior to the wedding he worked with our daughter to make sure he knew what we wanted, and when we had to make last minute changes due to the weather, he was right there to make sure the sound and music guaranteed a wonderful wedding. Brian even seemed as happy to be part of our event as we were! I highly recommend you consider him as the DJ for any event you might be planning!

We were so lucky to have found Brian from DJ Cheetah for our wedding-he was the perfect wedding DJ! He was so professional, supportive, and helpful through out our planning process. He accommodated some last minute changes, played my very random mix of songs, and kept the party going despite a very cold and rainy night! Thank you for being a huge part of our day!

There are not enough words that can describe what an amazing job Brian does as a Dj and with up lighting!
I just got married at Cambria pines lodge, and drove from LA. Planning a wedding when you live 4 hours away is not easy! I read Dj Cheetah and photography reviews and decided to follow my gut and booked him.
Brian is very kind, on top of everything, and makes everything flow as your MC , to insure that your wedding day goes as smooth as possible!
I emphasized that I wanted Spanish music, and I must admit I was worried. But Brian delivered and both my husbands family and friends as well as mine, were out on that dance floor dancing their hearts out!! I highly recommend Brian! He transformed the banquet with the stunning uplighting!! His business was worth every penny, and I would not hesitate to hire him again!!
Thank you Brian!!!
