We are so happy with my daughter's wedding pictures and albumn I just had to write! Her Newport wedding was a special day for her, as for us, her parents. With so many relatives there from out of town, it was important to capture not only the ceremony, but pictures of our family that we can treasure for a lifetime. Thank you Chris!! Love our pictures! Great lighting work!
Update. Hires Chris for my mom’s mother’s day picture great job, hired Chris for my engagement photo great job. Now here come my wedding. OMG. With my package it included my engagement photos that we were going to use at as my sign in book for guest. My photos were were ready 2 months before my wedding. About 4 weeks before my wedding my wedding planned asked about the sign in book. We got in contact with Chris and I picked out the photos he said it was a week turn around and he would be out of town for a week no worries. I approved which photos I wanted. The week of my wedding they still were here. My wedding planner called for him to fix it. Chris and my wedding planner got into it. Mind you my wedding planner deals with celebrities, so she knows how to handle business. Chris got upset and sent me a email the day before my wedding saying he would not work with her and called my husband as well. Chris stated he only deals with the bride. I left this issue up to my planner because that is her job to handle the vendors.
The day of my wedding is here and I’m just got married and taking pictures. Chris told me get all my family together and said where are your grandparents I was like they aren’t here. And after going back in forth with him, I’m like their are dead. Dude.
We take the picture my wedding planner asked do you have a time for me so the bride and groom can do a first look in the reception? He got mad with her again. I said to him Chris that was pretty aggressive.
We are now caking the cake and since the cake was fake it was a side we needed to cut on. Omg and once again. He got into it was my wedding planner. She kept her cool the whole time. I even had the venue attention speak on his behavior.
After the wedding Chris and my mom had a agreement about seeing the photos first. No problem. And we still needed to do the final payment. No worries he text me while on my honeymoon and I told I will speak with my mom when I get back. I text him every-time he text me. And the ONE time I missed his text because I was at work, which was about another week. I received a nasty message saying I’m going to TRASH ALL YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS. Wait what. Since my parents paid for my wedding my mom stepped in. And OMG Chris was talking crazy to my mother. After a few month. He finally got paid; only for him to block me when I wanted to ask a question about my package. I mean I’m still the client.
Honestly he does beautiful work but his attitude! He was very difficult. Mind you I saw him back in 2014 and was soo impressed by his work and him and hired him for other work and never saw that coming with my wedding in 2017. And I had more work for him afterwards because people asked do you know a photographer yup but NOT him.
Chris is AMAZING! We were sold on him when we saw pictures of other weddings he had done, but the images he captured of my Daughter's wedding day were more beautiful than any wedding photos I have ever seen in my life. Chris went the extra mile in making sure every moment of the evening was captured on film. He made sure every guest at the wedding was in numerous pictures and got so many pictures of the Bride and Groom with guests, which you don't normally see. It was a late afternoon wedding, which quickly turned to evening. No matter the light, each shot was perfect and done with such professionalism. Chris is wonderful to work with and made everything seem so effortless. He made sure the after wedding/pre-reception photos were done quickly, but exquisitely, so the Bride and Groom could get to the reception as soon as possible. His shots of the guests dancing are like nothing I have ever seen before! I highly recommend Chris for any event and will be sure to use him for anything I need in the future. Thank you, Chris! We will be forever grateful!
Chris and his team were beyond amazing. From the first time I sat and met with him to the day of the wedding he was phenomenal. We did an engagement shoot and the photos came out so amazing I couldn't wait for the wedding. The day of Chris and his assistant showed up bright and early at 7:00 AM for a 10:00 AM wedding. They walked in and got right to work. The professionalism alone was so rare! They were kind, attentive, and so funny. By the end of the day Chris became like family to us, dancing on the dance floor while he shoots candid photos was awesome! I simply cannot put into words the gratitude we feel toward him. We will have these photos for the rest of our lives and he gets to be a part of that memory. Thank you Chris, we are truly blessed!
Chris was amazing from day one! He has such a fun personality and will work to capture the moment with such passion. We had an amazing time shooting our engagement pictures and the day of the wedding was even more amazing! He was very polite to our guest and captured so many amazing moments we had no idea of! We are very thankful for him and his professional work.
Chris was amazing from day one! He took time to meet us during the week late at night. My fiance and I had meetings lined up with other photographers the rest of that week. After meeting with Chris, we hired him right then and there and cancelled all other appointments we had. We knew Chris was the right photographer to handle our big day. On our wedding day, Chris was not only professional but courteous. He was excited just like everyone else that day and really made sure to capture all of our moments. Any request we had, Chris made sure to accommodate. Our wedding day seemed to have flown by rather quickly. My wife and I were both excited to see how the photos turned out, since the day went by so quick we were unsure if everything was caught on camera. We received the photos from Chris soon after. Needless to say, they were great!! My wife was extremely happy and we both enjoyed going through each photo recalling every moment of our wedding. Chris has a great eye for taking photos. He is a true pro! I recommended Chris to friends and family. They have all told me that they are more than happy and satisfied with his work! Trust me when I say that Chris is the right man to hire. Thank you Chris! We will make sure to use your services again with any photo opportunities in the future!
Chris Chavira is a fantastic photographer! I was impressed with his work when I first saw his booth at a bridal show, and my delight continued through my engagement and wedding photographs. He's artistic, creative, friendly, professional, and great at directing shots and making people comfortable in front of the camera. He had such great ideas, and my pictures range from quirky and fun to gorgeous and elegant, which was exactly what I wanted to capture the personalities of myself, my husband, and our friends and family. If you are looking for someone who you can trust to give you beautiful memories of your event, I highly recommend that you contact Chris Chavira Photography.
Both my husband and I loved working with Chris and Robot! We loved how different both of there perspectives we're. Having both of them shoot our wedding covered it all perfectly! So happy with the way they turned out.
Truly the best. I'm not a person who likes to be in front of the camera but when it's your wedding you have no choice but to look for the best to make you feel as comfortable. Chris was amazing made me feel very relaxed in being in front of the camera. Great personality. But what you mostly want to hear are the Pictures. He takes the greatest pictures as I booked him for my engagement photos and once looking over all of them it was so hard to pick one for the Save the Date postcards because they were all so amazing. I didn't hesitate in booking him for my wedding and I'm so glad I went with Chris from CCImages because photos and memories are everything to me and he truly captured it all. Thank you Chris will look forward to having you take my pregnancy Pictures in the near future.
We had found Chris at the Bridal Show in Los Angeles during the Bridal Convention. We were sold from the moment he painted the picture of how our wedding would be and what he envisioned through the eyes of his camera. We just met and he already had everyone in tears of happiness.
For the Engagement Shoot he was full of great ideas and was also open to our own suggestions. He got to know who we were and based the shoot off our lifestyles. He called it our "Fast and Furious Engagement Shoot" and had our Nissan 350 Z take part in some of the photos as well.
For the day of our wedding, Chris was there for every moment. From the time she was preparing at the hotel room in the morning, till the very end.
The Assistant Vaughn was available to help with the Groom and the Groomsmen and get photos before the big ceremony, and ran the photo-booth which made Chris fully available for us and the guests.
About 3 weeks after the big day, we received our photos and after viewing them, we are extremely satisfied and are willingly ready to recommend him to all our friends and family.
My husband and I had Ccimages cover both our engagement shoot and our wedding.
We had our shoot at a cute little park in Huntington Beach and it was so much fun! Chris was awesome. We felt so comfortable and we had a great time. Another great thing was that we had just met him that very day too, but felt like we had known him for a while. That's when you know you have a good connection with someone and that's when we knew that we wanted him to photograph our special day.
We got married on January 25, 2014 and Chris was wonderful. He was on time, he was fun, and he had so many amazing ideas for all the photos. I loved how he wasn't just taking your typical wedding portraits, but he put an artistic spin on each photo.
My husband and I are so pleased with the photos that we have received so far. We will be receiving the rest in the mail very soon!
I definitely recommend Ccimages for any of your photography needs. They do a great job and the photos really do show it. :)
Oh and I cannot forget to mention is partner Vaugn, he was great! He photographed the guys getting ready and ran the photo booth! (which was a huge hit! ) definitely would relive this night with these guys again!
Chris Chavira provided amazing engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I wanted our memories to be as unique as our personalities and thanks to Chris's creativity and artistic eye we got that and more... Engagement pics reminiscent of American film noir and wedding pictures out of a fairy tale.
Dear Chris Chivira of CCImages,
I personally want to thank you for photographing Lisa and Pete’s wedding on April 20, 2012 aboard the Queen Mary of Long Beach. You were part of its success and I truly enjoyed watching how you took your time, added care to get the right angle, making sure the lighting, background and poses were just right. I knew then, we picked the right photographer!
If you could send me some more of your business cards, I will definitely do my best to advertise your brilliant photography and be happy to hand them out to people I know who are looking for a photographer. Thank you, once again.
Helenne Asebez, Mother of the Bride
Asebez/Linneman Wedding, April 20, 2012, aboard the RMS Queen Mary of Long Beach
