Tim Wheaton Photography |  Southern California Natural Light Photographer bio picture

they call me... tim

i know i should use capital letters, but i am not a fan of what it does to the letter
"I", in most cases. if i had to decide between a tree that grew time
and a tree that grew money, i would honestly have to sit and think about which
to pick the fruit from. i do not eat fruit. nope. ask me again and i'll tell
you the same. i don't eat fruit and i don't eat seafood. i like to think i am
not "picky" because i knock out whole food groups at a time. i've
been told i have a dry sense of humor. i've also been told i look like howie
mandel. i'm not sure if that is a compliment. i am uber-blessed to have a wife
who "deals with me"... though she may run into eye trouble one day
for how much she rolls her eyes at my antics.

i love to take photos. i love what they capture of my life and your lives. and then i
love to take those moments and "paint" on them... to reflect some of
the emotion that is already there in a unique way.

add this page to your bookmarks. i will continue to show sneak previews of what i am working
on as well as session summaries. you will also find random promotions and
discounts, as well as sporadic views into my and my family's life.

rachael & tim: a love that spans both coasts

i have known tim for quite a few years now, so when he and rachael inquired about hiring me to shoot one of, if not the most important day of their lives, i have to admit i got a little nervous. i mean, let’s get down to brass tacks for a second, shall we? i...

alli & sean: wedding by the harbor (part two)

this has taken me far too long to get the second portion up. my apologies. this was my first wedding of the season this year… and due to the time crunch, we were unable to squeeze in an engagement session. we decided to get out for a sort of “trash the dress” shoot after the...

shane & heather: laguna wedding

so, this is how word of mouth works. you do photos for someone, they tell a friend about you and you do their photos for their christmas cards. they, in turn, tell their friend to check you out as their potential wedding photographer. bam! not exactly a math problem that good will hunting would be...
