:: Testimonials ::

     We were delighted with CC Wedding Photography. As part of the package, they provided us with a wonderful engagement session . They took the time to learn about the schedule for our wedding day and were very accommodating. They captured both posed and candid shots.  They took the time to edit and retouch our shots. Chris is a professional & outgoing photographer.  We were also surprised at the number of photos that we received. We would greatly recommend CC Wedding Photography  without any doubt or hesitation.  -- Tom and Tina

    The photos of our wedding looked incredible. We are very happy with our decision to go with CCIMAGES.  We didn’t have to worry about a thing on the wedding day and everything was taken care of.  We got all of the pictures we were hoping for and many more. I’ve been telling people, "If you’re looking for a great wedding photographer with an awesome style then Chris is the guy to speak to."  Thanks for the incredible memories we will cherish for years to come.  -- Jason Perr

Tips and Advice
Choosing weddding photography - Chris Chavira  ccimages.com

When choosing wedding photography ask your self a couple of questions to get started:
What is my budget?
You usually get what you pay for.  Long after the cake is eaten, flowers are wilted and your video’s collecting dust the only valuable thing are your pictures!  Don’t cut money from this area.  You will regret it later.  Remeber the picture album is not just for you, it’s for your family and future children.
What style do I want?
Color,Black and White, Sepia? Posed, Candid or a mix?  Remember those dated shots of your folks with the 80’s feathered hair. Two silouets kissing while the sun pokes between them.  I get a lot of requests for photo journalistic shots. People love candids but remeber you still need some posed of the family group shots.  My speciality is in "posed candid". This is the shot that I give some direction to but photograph it in way that looks as if it just happened.
How about retouching?
There really is a huge difference between normal pics and retouched ones. I’m not just referring to wrinkels but rather contrast and color balance. Many wedding pictures take place in a wide range of lighting conditions. To really take it to the next level a photographer should do some retouching on your pictures.  This can be costly! Becaues I take great pride and recieved satisfaction from giving my cilents quality images, I retouch up to 70% of my work for free.
