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.

yes. you read that right. i am back at the salton sea. and i am back there to trash another dress, even. this time, i am back there with mike & jessica to “trash” her dress. again, to those of you brides out there, trashing the dress can be as literal or figurative as you decide...

gina | trash the dress

it feels odd posting this before someone’s photos of their actual wedding. but, this took place the day after the wedding, and it was a lot less photos to go through. so, stick with me and you may just see the logic in it. besides, no offense to all the grooms out there, but aren’t...

rachael: a bride in the making ** sneak peek **

this was a fairly interesting hiring. but one that i absolutely love. due to extreme budget constraints, rachael and her fiancee had to make some tough choices on their wedding day. one of the tougher ones was the realization that they just could not afford a professional photographer for the day. they ended up setting...
