    Chris and Mitch did an AMAZING job on our photography for our wedding on 09/09/17. My husband and I got married at Hotel Laguna and Chris is their preferred vendor for photography and I can see why!! We hired Chris almost right after signing our venue contract in July 2016 because we knew Chris has photographed so many weddings there and he would know all the good spots to take pictures at!! We are not at all disappointed. Chris was great to work with and was very detailed in his timeline of events for the day of our wedding which was fantastic because I am very detail oriented. Another bonus was that we were able to add our photography package right to our venue package at Hotel Laguna so this made things easier for us payment wise. Chris recommended a videographer to work with as well so please, do not hesitate to reach out to your photographer for recommendations because we are so happy that we did!! We have not received back our video yet but I am sure it will turn out wonderfully. Chris is super easy to work with, fun, laid back and very professional. We had a great time taking pictures with him at our wedding. We also had our pictures back very quickly (wedding on 09/09, photos ready on 09/25). We are now working on narrowing down our almost 1,000 pictures to 100 or less for our photo album that came in the package we paid for :) we HIGHLY recommend hiring Chris and/or Mitch for any of your photography needs!!!

    We had Chris & his team (our second photographer was Henry) for our wedding at Ocassions in Laguna Beach in May 2017 and wow were they amazing!! They were extremely professional but also personable. I honestly barely even knew they were there all day that's how good they were. They captured our most special moments and for that I will be forever grateful. The quality of the pictures was incredible, and the delivery was so fast (about a week after our wedding). Chris is reasonably priced & does not up-charge for every little thing. Chris is also very fast & effective at communication, and as a bride that was something I truly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Chris & his team for all your photography needs!

    Chris took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. My husband and I loved working with Chris because he was so personable and professional at the same time. We felt comfortable with him and we knew he would get the best shots that we would love! And we did LOVE all of our photos. Chris sent the photos to us in great time. In fact, we needed our engagement photos quickly, for save the dates, and he got them back to us within 1-2 days after the photo session! My husband and I can forsee us having Chris take future couple and/or family photo sessions. We would highly recommend Chris to anybody!

    We hired Chris for our daughter's wedding on a recommendation and we are so glad we did so. He is a wonderful photographer. He had an assistant and they absolutely captured every possible part of the wedding that we would have wanted. He made sure he got all of our requests. The pictures turned out wonderful. There wasn't one shot we were unhappy with and we had over 1400 to look at. We highly recommend him.

    Chris was wonderful to work with, both before and during our wedding. He took gorgeous photos and captured the best moments from the day. Always calm, organized and pleasant! His second photographer Mitch also took amazing shots and was very friendly and personable. Between the two of them we couldn't be happier with our wedding photos and the overall experience. I HIGHLY recommend Chris Diset photography.

    Chris is absolutely the best! He's so easy to work with and is the best at what he does. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He makes you feel so comfortable and is very artistic. My husband and I have gotten several questions about who we used for our engagement and wedding photos. We have recommended him to everyone we can. He is hands down the best photographer.

    Chris took our engagement pictures last weekend at Fullerton Arboretum. My fiance and I are very shy when it comes to taking pictures and Chris and Debra made us feel so comfortable and posing came so natural by the end of our session! Our pictures turned out so great that I'm going to have trouble figuring out which ones to display at our wedding!! I can't wait to see how our wedding pictures are going to turn out!
    Thanks Chris!!

    Chris and his team were wonderful to work with! He did both the engagement shoot and my wedding. The pictures came out beautiful. He has an eye and passion for what he does. He defiantly knows his lighting- we had our pictures outside on the beach. He is professional, confident and makes you feel comfortable. He came early for pictures before the wedding but also stayed after the reception for another hour just so my husband and I could get some more pictures. You can count on him to take great pictures that capture the moment and he is so quick at sending you the finished prints! I highly recommend him for any wedding. He will defiantly be our "life" photographer!

    Chris and his team did a great job capturing our wedding day at Hotel Laguna! Before the wedding, my husband and I enjoyed meeting him and his associate to go over everything. We were pleasantly surprised when he brought her AND another young gentleman to the wedding. They made sure to get photos of everything going on. Especially considering the affordable price compared to so many other photographers out there, it was awesome that he had 2 other people there to capture different moments.

    Chris and his team did a great job directing everyone as we didn't really have a big list of "must-have" photo ideas. He and his team were also great at listening to our ideas and getting some creative photos. We have some great photos that we will always cherish, from absolutely beautiful sunset photos to funny wedding party photos to family photos. The team knew how to work the lighting and angles to get some stunning shots.

    Chris sent us over 1,500 photos and we are very happy about that. It let's us have the whole day captured on camera, yet we can go through and pick our favorites to post or print. I highly recommend Chris and his team for your wedding!

    Chris and his assistants captured all the moments I'd hoped for and more.... Since my wedding wasn't during high wedding season, he was willing to negotiate with me on price which was a big help for us. Before the wedding when things weren't running on schedule, Chris' assistant was compassionate, kind, and patient with me as I hurried to get ready. The pictures came out fabulous and Chris sent them to me on USB flash drive. He took so many wonderful pictures and was very professional and instructive at posing us for the best shots. I would highly recommend Chris Diset Photography!

    I was really impressed with Chris & Debra at Chris Diset Photography. They were more than willing to shoot our engagement pics in an outdoor, crowded, hot location for roughly 3 hours; and our photos ended up great! On our wedding day, they were on time, professional, and gave us a TON of pictures. Chris also knew I don't like anything over-edited and that I wanted a large selection of pictures, and I was impressed with the image quality as nothing looked like it had been edited - it all looked natural! I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for photography for any occasion.

    Chris Diset is awesome! He is professional, friendly and definitely an artist. When we first met Chris, my husband and I found him very comfortable to talk to. It was very easy to work with him, and you can feel his enthusiasm for his work. Our engagement photos were amazing and we are still getting comments on how beautiful they are. On our wedding day, we had a team of three with Chris leading the team. They were prompt and started immediately in capturing all the details and every single moment. They really did a wonderful job documenting our special day. We recently received our wedding photos and they are stunning. Chris is quick with getting the photos out. We have a lot of friends that have gotten married and it took such a long time for them to get their photos. We highly recommend him.

    Chris photographed my wedding last Oct. 4, 2013 and he did such an amazing job!! I am so happy I reached out to him! He replied to my email almost immediately. He was so easy to work with! He put both myself and my hubby at ease at our initial meeting. His photographs are photojournalistic style. He arrived early at our wedding site and captured all the photos listed on the photo list that I sent him. His attention to detail was impeccable! He was such a stealth photographer during the ceremony that I was amazed at the photos he took. He even suggested that we take photos after everyone left of just my hubby and I (eventhough it was well after the allotted time). I got my photos approximately 4 weeks after the event. The photos looked fabulous! I wholeheartedly recommend him to any bride looking for a photographer to capture the best day of her life!

    OMG CHRIS! My pictures are stunning! Everything I wanted to remember is captured in these pictures. The smiles, the love and happiness, the beauty of the venue and the joy of being married. As a bride, the wedding day goes by so fast, but looking back at these pictures slows it all down and lets me re-live the moments that will stay with me forever. Chris really takes his work seriously, but still allows you to have fun on your big day, and makes sure that you can really smile and enoy yourself. He was so patient with my family and the wedding party, and he made sure to get all of the detailes that we put so much time and effort into. Even when other people were taking pictures of us while he was taking pictures, he made sure to remind us that we were paying him to do this, and to get any pictures we wanted. So if my Husbands uncle wanted a picture with us, Chris would take it for him on the professional camera. We had such a good experience with Chris.

    What can I say? Chris was absolutely incredible. I remember telling Chris "I don't know much about poses and photographs so please take over" lol! and that's exactly what he did! He made me feel at ease as I saw him taking all sorts of pictures and leading us with different poses and ideas. He is so outgoing and professional. He was fun and flexible when taking pictures. He made me feel comfortable right from the start and always made himself available throughout the process. His pictures from his website look absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see mine. Excellent job to Chris and his assistant! Very satisfied bride :)

    We found Chris through a referral from another vendor, and could not have been happier with his services. He was so professional from the get go. His prices were reasonable, and he was more than accommodating to my fiancee and I.
    We wanted to do our engagement photos at two different locations, one being Disneyland (which is where we got engaged) and he was more than willing to do that with us. He even came to the rehearsal dinner and took photos there.
    The fact that these photos are forever is something that you really need to focus on when planning your big day. Chris was more than we could have ever dreamed of, and our photos are exquisite.
    Look no farther ... Chris Diset Photography is the only way to go for your big day!

    Chris Diset Photography shot our wedding back in July. Not only are they professional, they are also fun to be around. I had been a groomsman three times prior to my wedding. Every photographer that I dealt with in those weddings was pushy and only worried about getting their job done. Chris Diset Photography takes their time and makes sure that they get the shots that you want without speeding things up.

    Chris Diset met with my wife and I several times before the wedding. He agreed to meet with us at our location a couple weeks prior. He walked around with us, mapping out the shots that we wanted and the ideas that he had. He showed up to our wedding with a plan, and it was executed very well.

    The albums produced by Chris Diset Photography were amazing. Chris sent us his version of how the albums should look, but allowed us to make as many changes as we wanted. We went back and forth a couple times and ended up with the perfect product.

    Think of Chris Diset Photography whenever you need professional photos done. Not only do they take gorgeous pictures, you will have fun while they’re taking them.

    Chris was the best. He was so easy to work with. He worked with us on a budget that we were all happy with. He took the pics that I wanted plus more. He was in and out it was like you didn't know he was there. He did out engagement shoot as well as our ceremony and reception. His helpers were great and funny. We loved him!

    I'm a big fan of Chris Diset. His work speaks for itself. He is professional and at the same time, a lot of fun. He goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable, especially if you're anything like my husband and me, who don't like having our pictures taken. He's got a lot of great ideas. Also, my husband and I were surprised to find that during our vendor search, many of them wouldn't budge on prices and packages. Chris worked with us to pick the package that worked the best for us and our budget. In other words: he's pretty great.

    Do yourselves a favor, and go with Chris Diset photography. Our pictures are so incredibly gorgeous that everyone is raving about his work. He and his assistant Joelle were so helpful and attentive on the day of the wedding, and they really are extremely talented artists. We can't imagine having another photographer. We were planning our wedding from DC, so we only spoke to photographers via phone. My husband shopped around a lot, and our personalities just clicked with Chris. I can't say enough about how great they were on the day of the wedding. My friends from the east coast are sad that they can't find a photographer like this! Take advantage of your location and get Chris Diset Photography to photograph your location!

    I can't even begin to describe how happy my husband and I are with Chris's work! He did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and surpassed or expectations in the quality and talent that he delivered!! He was fun to work with gave us more photos than we could have dreamed of, caught every special moment and then some, and truly did an excellent job. We interviewed several photographers and checked references as well. Chris not only has the best body of work, but all his references said the same thing...AMAZING, and now I can confidently agree with that! Thanks Chris for giving Chad and I such amazing photos that we'll cherish forever!

    Chris is an amazing photographer! He really tries to get to know you..he emailed my husband and I a getting to know you questionnaire before we had our first meeting to get an idea of our personalities..which I loved! I fell in love with his photos after viewing his website, and then once I talked to him on the phone, and finally met with him in person, it was a done deal! He is very passionate about what he does and I found that quite refreshing! So, if you want to get great photos that you will love for a lifetime, definitely check out Chris Diset Photography! You will not regret that you did!
