Christopher Todd Studios

CHRIS WAS AWESOME!! He was so professional but easy going at the same time. I would highly recommend him and his staff to any future couple looking for a wedding photographer. He and his assistant Ariel went above and beyond to help us on our wedding day and with such ease that I was so relaxed knowing that everything was going to turn out amazing! We did our engagement shoot with Chris just so we could see what he was like to work with and how the pictures/process all works. When we did the session, we knew we had picked the right photographer to capture our special day. Christopher Todd Studios is awesome and I highly recommend them to any future couple looking for someone to really capture the essence of their wedding day!

If I remember right my then fiance/now wife and I found Christopher Todd Studios online via Google or Yelp when we were trying to find a photographer for our engagement photos and wedding. Now that the process is behind us, my wife and I wanted to review experience working with Chris and what we thought of final product/pictures. To summarize, Chris is an unbelievably talented photographer and an equally impressive person who is extremely trustworthy, adaptable and kind. Everyone wants to find a photographer who takes pride in their work and is able to deliver on hopes/expectations. Pictures were everything we hoped for and experience working with Chris made whole process enjoyable and fun. Price wise Chris is beyond reasonable for what you get. We met many photographers and confident Chris gave us the best final product of all while certainly not being the most expensive photographer out there even though his work justifies it. I would like to believe my wife and I had a unique connection with Chris because throughout engagement photos and wedding he felt like he must have been a long time old friend of ours, but I know that's his personality in action. He's simply able to get along great with a wide variety people from all different backgrounds. I know this because our wedding had many types of people, and some of the most often heard feedback after wedding was 'wow I really liked your photographer', 'your photographer was great', 'couldn't believe your photographer knew my name and remembered it' etc. PS: Chris asked for VIP type people names ahead of wedding, and actually made it a point to make people feel comfortable throughout our big day and you can see this in the pictures. Ultimately, there's a lot of pressure on a photographer to deliver. You can't go back in time and take pictures again. I wouldn't trust any photographer more than Chris. Extremely happy customer. My wife couldn't be a bigger fan of his. Happy wife/happy life :).

Chris was so awesome to work with! First of all, he's just a great guy and the kind of person you want to be around, especially at your wedding. His photography is amazing and we couldn't be happier! He was very professional and always responded to our questions very speedily throughout the wedding planning process. Our family and friends commented on how great he was at the wedding and he remembered EVERYONE'S names! We received our photos really quickly both after our engagement shoot and the wedding. Our wedding album turned out beautiful and we are so happy! Chris really puts in the time and effort to make your pictures and album perfect for you. If we ever need photos in the future, we'll definitely be going to Christopher Todd Studios!

Chris is exceptionally talented and was a dream to work with for my wedding (and engagement shoot) - he has a great, easy going demeanor that made me and my (now) husband feel at ease and comfortable enough to be ourselves (normally we are pretty awkward for photos!). He is very creative and has a great vision for what he is shooting. I barely noticed him on our wedding day but he managed to somehow capture the most amazing shots! He is very professional and knows what needs to happen before the wedding- I really appreciated all the behind the scenes coordination he did with my make up artists and coordinator, it was a huge weight off my back! If you want a photographer who takes amazing photos, both candids and posed, and is extremely easy to work with, Chris is your guy!

Few things are as important during a wedding as a high quality, reliable, professional, trustworthy, and dependable photographer. Every single memory is reliant on the keen eye and artistry of the photo studio selected to capture one of the best moments in a couple’s life together. If a picture is worth a thousand words, every image that Christopher Todd Studios captured is worth millions. 1. Artistry – It became readily apparent from the Studio’s sample art work that we would be dealing with photographers who have “the eye” to capture the beauty of every moment. For us, it was not enough have a person simply “take a picture.” Our wedding was a story that needed to be told in pictures for generations to come. Christopher Todd Studios and its team captured the essence of the evening by telling a story that will bring smiles, laughter, and joy for many years. 2. Professionalism – It was imperative that our photographer maintain the highest degree of professionalism before, during, and after the festivities. From the onset, Christopher Todd Studios provided us with a degree of customer service unsurpassed in the industry. During the wedding celebration, Christopher Todd Studios’ photographers made our guests feel welcome and at ease with the camera, which added to the warm atmosphere of the evening. After the wedding, several of our guests commented on the Studio’s friendly, unobtrusive, and pleasant approach. 3. Integrity – Christopher Todd Studios demonstrated a degree of integrity unmatched in the service industry by fulfilling every promise made. The attention to detail the Studio provides allowed us to focus on other aspects of the wedding, where more of our energy was needed. Having Christopher Todd Studios in our corner gave us a peace of mind that we almost took for granted during our special day. In our minds, the Studio has risen the bar of what the standard in photography service ought to be. We cannot wait to use the Christopher Todd Studios again.

Chris is amazing! He is professional, has a great eye for photography, and is very easy to be around. I will be using him for every life stage for photos!

Pictures were one of the most important things to me for my wedding and we could not have been happier with Chris. His pictures are just stunning and exemplifies his talent and passion for what he does. When we met with Chris we found him to be incredibly helpful and professional. The day of the wedding he was prepared and ready for anything. He had so many creative ideas for our pictures and we could not be happier with the results. During the wedding we hardly noticed him taking pictures but he caught so many important moments. After the wedding we promptly received the pictures and were blown away. Our families all agreed that he will be our go-to photographer for future family weddings and other momentous events. You should definitely hire Chris for your event!

I could not be happier with my choice for a photographer for our wedding. Chris exudes a sense of calm professionalism, is extremely talented, has a great personality, and is easy to get along with. I warned Chris that I am very particular about my photographs and he exceeded my expectations. We recently went home to my home state for a dinner party (because our wedding was a destination wedding) and put our photos on display; EVERYONE was commented on how beautiful they were. One week prior to the wedding, Chris and I spoke on the phone so he could learn about whom we wanted pictures with and their names. Actually, on the wedding day, I asked him to take more pictures of people I had forgotten about and he went with the flow. Chris's pricing is extremely reasonable for wedding photography, especially if you consider his expertise, his professionalism, and the quality of his work and photographs. I never once thought "Where is Chris?" because I knew he was always there when I needed him, before I realized that I needed him. He captured the beauty of my family, friends, bridal party, venue, and decorations wonderfully. I trusted him completely. I promise you will be extremely pleased with Chris as your photographer, guaranteed!

Let me start by saying that Chris is worth every dime he charges. He has an amazing eye and is very artistic in his ideas. Additionally, he is very professional and responsible. He was always on time and very courteous! My family and I were stunned when we saw the wedding photos. They were way more than we ever imagined. Chris also has the best personality and will give you the low down on other vendors that you might be thinking of hiring. He was the one vendor I always felt like was never giving me the run around or trying to upsell me. It was a pleasure to work with him. Hire him! I promise you won't be disappointed!

Chris Griffiths with Christopher TODD Studios proved to be much more than a photographer for our wedding day. He first caught our eye through his beautiful work and imagery; he is truly a very talented photographer. In addition to his outstanding photography, we both felt Chris would be a great addition to the wedding day as he brings a good, positive energy. I recall a very stressful moment before the ceremony and not only was Chris there to capture it all, but his words calmed a very worried bride!! He has gifted us with beautiful engagement photos and wedding images, and we are grateful he could be a part of our big day.

We hired Chris for our wedding in July at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club and couldn't be happier! Everyone raved about the pictures, and I am thrilled I chose the right photographer, as you don't have a "do-over" with wedding photography. Our first experience with Chris was our engagement shoot in Santa Monica. If you work with Chris, get ready to be pulled around so he can get the best shots. He's really good at reading people too, he could tell that my husband and I don't exactly enjoy getting our pictures taken, but he knew what to do to make us relax and come out of our shell. The engagement shoot was much longer than we thought, over two hours maybe, and he dragged us (and my suitcase with my outfit changes) from the streets of Santa Monica to the beach, underneath the pier, on the boardwalk, amusement park and back to the streets of Santa Monica. Chris works hard for you and knows a good shot we he sees it. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that passion and enthusiasm rubs off on his clients. While we think we are walking back to the car to go home, Chris is constantly looking around at his surroundings for the perfect shot. We were exhausted after the shoot and didn't know what to expect from the pictures. They came out amazing- the images and places we went look completely different, artsy and unique behind his lens. I wish I had the creative eye that he does! On to the wedding..... Chris and his assistant performed splendidly. I liked that he called me the week before the wedding to go over what shots I absolutely wanted, and took down everyone's names. At the wedding the team blended into the mix perfectly. They were funny and our guests loved them. He also knows how to move things along which I love! The pictures came back to me quick, maybe took 3 weeks, and there was over 500 of them- all good shots. He even posted a taste of the pictures on his blog when we were still on our honeymoon. My long love story short, I would definitely hire Chris for your wedding or event. I'm very money-savvy, and he is very reasonable for the work and quality that he produces. I actually had my first engagement session with a photographer that cost twice as much, and wasn't as good. She didn't have the same passion that Chris does, which makes for better pictures. Thank you Chris for capturing the best time of our lives! Christina+Thad

We really loved working with Chris. He was so easy, fun and professional. We loved his photojournalistic style. The images he captured of our wedding were fantastic.

Chris is an amazing photographer! He captured every picture that I wanted, before I ever even had to ask him. During the reception I remember thinking, "oh I need to have Chris take a picture of this...." and before I could even finish my thought I would turn and see that he had already snapped several photos. It was like he could read my mind. The quality of his work is exceptional: the angels he shoots from, the lighting he shoots in, and the equipment he uses.... and he knows just when to get the right shot. Additionally, his pictures are of such immaculate quality that they don't even need editing to be flawless, although that's another specialty of his. His professionalism is off the charts. He even remembered my bridal party and family's names so that he could call them out when he needed them to stand in a specific position or pose. He is so sweet, calm, and relaxed, but is also extremely focused on his vision, and getting the perfect shot. He was a pleasure to work with, was by far my favorite "vendor" that I hired, and because of him the day/night ran so smoothly. He is affordable, flexible, and he got pictures back to me before I even got home from my honeymoon!!! Thank you Christopher TODD Studios for capturing the only memories that I have of my beautiful wedding day!

I would recommend Imagery Immaculate Photo to anyone. I’m not just saying that because his was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. I’m primarily writing this review because he was willing to go out of his way to make sure my fiancé and I were in love with our photos. Whenever people see how amazing my wedding photos are, they can’t help but comment on the photography itself. He has great pricing for the quality of work he does. All of his edited photos are so appropriately touched up- none of his editing is too overkill. His creativity is amazing… he’ll even perform some balancing-acts to make sure he gets in the right position to take the best photos. I really enjoyed working with Chris and his assistant; any time I had any questions, requests, or concerns he was always very available to answer an e-mail or a phone call. One of my favorite things about Chris and Imagery Immaculate is that the day after my wedding there were already photos edited and posted on his blog. The first day of my honeymoon, my husband and I were able to look at some astonishing photos of our wedding. I really enjoyed Chris, his professionalism, his creativity, and his photos. Thanks!

My Husband and I found Chris on the knot. We met with him and right away I knew he would be our photographer. He has an amazing talent, great personality, long experience in photography, and he listens to what you want. He did both our engagement and wedding photos and they were both absolutely beautiful. He knows when to capture the perfect moment. I would recommend Chris to anyone who is in need of a photographer.

He is the best wedding photographer because of his ability to capture the moment flawlessly due to his YEARS of experience, super high technical skill due to his talent, and also for his easy going personality! We had our engagement session and wedding photos done by Chris. Our photos looked were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. He knows how to capture the perfect photo. He has immense amount of knowledge in lighting, composition, dark and light, hue, and saturation, etc. All the good stuff to make a beautiful photo. Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decision for a couple. And we are so glad we picked the best one. =)

My husband and I worked with Chris Griffiths for our engagement photo session and wedding day. Our wedding coordinator recommended him, and after comparing his work to other websites, we were immediately sold. We loved how he managed to capture fleeting moments, especially facial expressions, in beautiful ways, using his surroundings and light to enhance the pictures. When we saw our engagement photos and the sneak peak of our wedding photos (less than 3 days after the wedding!), we were thrilled with the result. A lot of our friends took pictures at the wedding, but when we saw the pictures of the same scenes from Chris, my husband said, “Now that’s how you take a pictures!”. And, he managed to capture the essence of our day, reflecting the fun spirit of our celebration. Separate from the quality of his work, Chris is a truly a pleasure to work with. He was professional, easy-going, and a true expert… it was easy to trust him and know that he would capture our day perfectly. Thanks Chris!

Apart from being a very likeable person, and great to have around throughout our wedding day, Chris was completely professional and organized, and was able to capture every moment of our wedding beautifully. We are all blown away by the photos Chris took. Thank you so much, you've really captured our wedding perfectly, and we're so happy to have such great photos of the day. Everyone who's seen them has been amazed, and Jen and I can't stop looking through them. You really got everything we wanted, the preparation, ceremony, all family members, and reception. Thank you so much. Everyone commented on how nice you were also, we loved having you there. Jules & Jen

Loved his style flexibility personality attitude. Pictures were amazing. Turn around time for everything was very fast. Wasn't in your face at the wedding...Never noticed much that he was there but he was and the quality of the pictures are absolutely beautiful and make you feel as if you were actually there.;book in advance

Chris was amazing. He was so easy to work with and friendly. He let us be ourselves and we didn't have to do any cheesy poses. The proofs were online within a couple of weeks of us returning home. The pictures were incredible and the people who did not attend said they could feel what the wedding was like based on the pictures. The album was amazing and I had a few friends who wanted to have their albums redone, based on Chris' work!

The photos ended up being exactly what I wanted. I felt beautiful. He took wonderful portraits and candids. Every shot was flattering to the subjects and caught the special moment of what was being experienced. The price was a steal for the quality of pictures taken and the time he spent with all of us.;Be prepared to be very pleased!

Excellent to work with, very professional, friendly, accomodating, flexible and fun to work with!!! Made all my pictures perfect pictures to remember for ever!!!
