Christine Skari Photography

Choosing Christine as our wedding photographer was one of the best wedding-planning decisions we made! She is absolutely amazing at her job! We first met her when she did a quick engagement shoot for us. We instantly fell in love with her sweet, fun personality and her... Read More ability to make us feel totally comfortable taking photos when we would normally feel awkward. We loved our engagement photos! When she arrived in Santa Barbara on our wedding day, it was such a relief knowing that the person capturing our big day was someone we had already met and felt comfortable with. It felt like she was just a friend there taking photos, but it was clear to everyone that she was definitely a professional. We received SO MANY compliments from our friends and family right after the wedding about how great it was having her there and how great of a job she did at capturing the moments of our wedding day. Well... we just got our wedding photos back and we are ABSOLUTELY IN AWE. They are the most amazing photos we have ever seen. I honestly don't think there is anyone better we could have chosen to capture our day. She got every shot I could have asked for and the photos are so beautiful. I haven't stopped staring at them for the past 2 days. I am already trying to think up new events to plan just so I can have Christine come photograph for me. Thank you SO much, Christine! We have forever memories of the best day of our lives, thanks to you! Plus it feels great to get so many compliments from our friends about how awesome our wedding photos came out :)

Where to begin about how wonderful our experience was with Christine as our photographer? The best decision that my husband and I made (aside from getting married!) was to have Christine as our wedding photographer. She is a skilled photographer, a wonderful professional, and... Read More has a heart of gold. We had not met before our wedding day, but immediately after she arrived while my girls and I were getting ready she put me at ease. By the end of the wedding she felt like an old friend! She was able to exquisitely capture every special moment of the wedding without making us feel bombarded with cameras. What can't she do?! Our family posed photos are phenomenal, as were done in record time. The candid photos are the best I have seen from any wedding- she truly captured the essence of our day. The romantic photos she took of my husband and I couldn't be more dreamy, and she made me feel beautiful while she was capturing them. The turn around time was phenomenal- We were still on our honeymoon when we got a text saying that she was done with the photos! In case you don't know, getting your professional photos in a week is just unheard of! Everyone who sees my wedding pictures is blown away by how beautiful they are. I may be biased, but they are so breathtaking. To the point where I can't believe how beautifully my wedding was captured. Christine is amazing. Hire her as your photographer and you won't regret it. We will absolutely be having her capture all the important milestones of our life together as our family grows. I couldn't be happier or asked for anything more in a photographer. She truly went above and beyond.

Christine was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during our wedding planning process! We were hesitant at first since we had a lot of other referrals to photographers but the second we showed up for our engagement shoot, she made us feel so comfortable, we couldn't... Read More have been happier with our choice. She is so bubbly and warm, she instantly made us feel completely at ease, and I am usually super awkward in pictures! Everyone we know was blown away with the pictures and asked us how we found Christine and multiple of my friends even contacted her about using her for their weddings / lifestyle pictures. We just now got back our wedding pictures (after only a week!!) and are beyond ecstatic. My parents keep telling us what a hard time we are going to have picking ones to put up and put in albums. I would tell anyone I know not to hesitate for even a second and book her RIGHT AWAY!

One word describes Christine... AMAZING! From the moment my husband (then fiance) met her, we knew it was a perfect fit. She's so down to earth, positive, and super energetic, which is what we definitely wanted in a photographer. Engagement and wedding photo poses feel awkward... Read More as hec, but Christine was there to guide us and reassure us that we're doing it right. She really added so much positive energy to our wedding day and we couldn't have asked for a more professional and talented photographer!

I can not say enough about my positive experience with Christine. I'm so happy I chose her as my photographer after an extensive search for the perfect fit. Growing up as a photographer's daughter, I was not going to settle for anything other than the best- and that was... Read More Christine. Not only was she professional, but she exceeded my expectations with our photographs that I will cherish forever. She was AMAZING at guiding my husband and I through our engagemt and wedding photos. It makes a huge difference when you have instructions on how to pose, where to look and what to do in each shot. I will always remember running up to my hotel suite after beach photos with Christine, where she helped me fix my hair and makeup after I accidentally turned the foot wash shower on over my head! Thank you Christine for being apart of our special day!!

Christine Skari is AMAZING! She is very sweet and professional. Our wedding photos came out perfect. She truly captured our special day and we will have photos to look back on forever. Christine was very responsive to our emails and questions. She provided us with great... Read More suggestions and ideas. I would recommend Christine to my friends and family anytime. What a great experience it was to work with her. Thank you so much Christine for everything and making our special day such a great experience!

Christine captured our June 2017 wedding in Temecula. She went above and beyond to make sure our special day was fully captured. She also answered any questions we had promptly and is just the sweetest. All of our guests at our wedding commented how great our photographer was... Read More and how she moved so gracefully throughout the day never in the way but still capturing every special moment. I honestly love each and every photo we received after our wedding and my husband and I will treasure them forever. You can not go wrong with Christine, she is the absolute best!

I found Christine on The Knot and hiring her was seriously the BEST vendor decision I made. I never like the way I look in pictures and I was so worried I wouldn’t be happy with my wedding photos, but they are BEAUTIFUL. I couldn’t help but cry when I saw them, they are so... Read More perfect. Christine and her team perfectly captured my big day. They captured all the love and happiness we felt that day, and the editing is so gorgeous. I want to frame them all!!

By far the single best part of my wedding experience. Christine was beyond professional, friendly, and (from a woman's perspective) just GETS IT!!!! She understood my love for the perfect candid shot along with the "must-haves." My wedding album is the wedding album of my... Read More dreams thanks to her. She helped make my wedding a breeze and honestly a dream come true. I absolutely CANNOT say enough good things about this photographer. Completely top notch. HIGHLY SUGGEST!!!!!! My husband and I are beyond thrilled. :)

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you can stop looking now. Choose Christine!!!! Christine was hands down the best photographer I could have had to photograph my wedding. She is professional and efficient and seriously has the most friendly and upbeat personality... Read More that was infectious. I was worried having pictures taken. I had a baby 9 months ago, let's just say things aren't the way they used to be. Christine came in and made me feel beautiful and confident and honestly the pictures came out gorgeous. Not only does she have a beautiful eye for details but she has a way of picking up light and making each and every picture shine. I haven't been able to stop looking at our wedding pictures, she captured every special moment exactly how I remember it and made it look even better. Christine also worked magic in making my 9 month old smile for almost every picture. Any bride would be extremely lucky to have Christine capture their special day. The pictures Christine took will always hold a special place in our hearts and will allow us to relive our magical day over and over again. Obsessed with her beautiful work!

If I had to give Christine a review out of 5 stars... it would be 10! She exceeded all of my expectations, dreams and visions for my wedding day. She was very organized, listened to what we wanted, and then was creative enough to get those extra special shots too! We couldn't... Read More have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and Christine made that possible. She is fun, upbeat, and super sweet!

You will not regret it. We love you Christine!! Xoxo Amanda & Chris

I cannot express how satisfied we are with Christine and our wedding photos!! She was so amazing to work with from start to finish--through the planning and on the wedding day. Her personality was calm and sweet, which helped keep the stress level down on the wedding day.... Read More Christine was able to capture beautiful shots so quickly, thus we did not have to spend and long time taking photos during the wedding (this was great because we had more time to interact with our guests)! She was very accommodating to our desires for the photos also :) We received our wedding photos about a week after the wedding and we absolutely LOVE them!! There were so many amazing shots that we have had a hard time picking which ones to print lol! Our family members have told us the same.

You're awesome Christine!

I am a picky bride! I know exactly what I was looking for and I was in the market to find the perfect photographer. I talked to about 5 photographers before meeting Christine. Henry (my husband) and I agreed that photography was one of the most important aspect on our special... Read More day and we wanted our photographs to be the beautiful memories we can look back upon when we are 80 :). I contact Christine and she responded quickly. She was warm and cheerful on the phone and we set up a meeting face to face. Henry and I were smitten by Christine as soon as we met her. Christine is a great listener and clear communicator. I love how open she is with my ideas and put her own expertise and artistry into our photographs. We booked Christine a year in advance and our wedding was in May 2016. Christine was prepared, she wanted a shot list from us and our wedding schedule. On the day of, she was on time and knew exactly what she was doing. We had a nice flow.

Christine is the absolute BEST!! We just got our photos back from our engagement session and I love every single one of them. She captured some really great 'candids', which is what I really wanted.

Read More all our faith for the scenic elements with Christine. Love her website, as well! As a guy who doesn't like to take pictures, I find myself wanting to take more pictures with Christine even after the photoshoot because of how amazing photos came out. A huge plus are the many scenic backgrounds that Christine's Palos Verdes location offers from the rustic brick scene to sunset cliffs overlooking the ocean to the beach to a field of greenery...it goes on and on - you can count on Christine for her suggestions. There was one moment during our photo session where we couldn't get access to the beatiful cove/beach.
