About us
When you book us for your wedding, you’re not just hiring vendors — you’re working with a family team that has been creating unforgettable wedding experiences together for over 20 years.
Brian is the DJ & MC, Nadine is the Lead Photographer, and our son Aidan is our Second Shooter. As a married couple who have worked weddings together since 2000, we bring a seamless connection and natural teamwork that is rare in the wedding industry.
What makes our business even more special is that we are also a Mother & Son Photography Team. Aidan grew up watching us work weddings and developed a passion for photography at a young age. When he decided to pursue wedding photography professionally, Nadine personally taught him how to photograph and edit weddings. Because of our strong family bond, working together feels effortless, organized, and fun — and our couples truly feel that energy on their wedding day.
Brian and Nadine met in April 2000 and have been inseparable ever since. Nadine was a Fashion Design graduate obsessed with all things cheetah print, while Brian was the outgoing DJ known as “DJ Cheetah.” After dating for two years, Brian proposed to Nadine at “Top of the World” in Laguna Beach, California. On September 8, 2002, they were married at Hotel Laguna in Laguna Beach.
So… why the name Cheetah?
Because of Nadine’s love for cheetah print and Brian’s DJ name, a mutual friend thought they should meet. That unexpected introduction led to a love story, a family, a business built together, and eventually legally changing their last name to Cheetah.

About the Family
We are a very close family that truly enjoys spending time together. Our children grew up watching us build our business side by side as a team, and over the years they’ve experienced countless weddings alongside us while learning firsthand what it takes to create an unforgettable wedding experience as a DJ & Photography Team.
Our son developed a passion for photography and eventually became our Second Shooter. As a family, we are all deeply invested in the success of our business and genuinely excited every time a new couple books us for their wedding.
Our business is built on love, teamwork, and family connection. We are incredibly proud of what we have created together, and we truly love working weddings as a family team. We appreciate your support and look forward to being part of your special day.
