Capturing Timeless Moments in Classic Style

Divided Line Photo is a wedding photographer based in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Owner and lead photographer CJ Varela captures breathtaking photos of wedding ceremonies, receptions, and engagements. He makes use of stunning landscapes and natural light to create compelling images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. CJ’s love of photography began with the birth of his first child. Capturing images of a baby crawling and eventually chasing after his little girl who was constantly on the move helped to hone his craft. He fell in love with photographing life’s milestones which is what eventually lead him to weddings. With a relaxed style and a bit of humor, he makes couples feel at ease in front of the lense. This talented photographer brings a timeless aesthetic to his photos which capture priceless memories.

CJ and his wife were the absolute best to work with for our special day. They made us laugh so much, allowing them to get some amazing candids throughout the whole day. They made sure we would get the best lighting for our sunset pictures which...

turned out even better than we could have imagined. They also worked so well with our videographer whom they have never worked with before. Definitely a photographer I would recommend to any of my family or friends to not pass up what so ever. Also, we got our pictures pretty fast which is always a huge plus when everyone wants to start seeing the photos. Photos to me was on the top of my list on where I wanted to spend the money for our wedding and I wouldn't have changed that for anything because these will be the memories you can have for lifetime. Amazing people who do amazing work :)

CJ was an amazing photographer for our wedding. The day before our wedding we decided that we wanted to do a few pictures before the ceremony. He had no problem with this and was able to come early even though we asked last minute. CJ is also ...

super personable and funny, which helps you relax while taking photos. Even though he’s funny and jokes, he’s also very professional and you can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing. I can’t wait to get all of my photos from our wedding!! I highly recommend you book CJ for your wedding!

Any questions?

Owner

When I'm not shooting photos I enjoy traveling, exploring, hiking, camping, snowboarding, surfing, or anything else active & outdoors; But then again, I'd still most likely have my camera with me. I married my beautiful wife in 2020 and together we have 3 kids. I enjoy reading in the morning with a good cup of coffee, & I like craft beer, whisky, & cigars. I love being a dad, I love God, love my family & friends & spending time with them brings me the most joy in life.
