    The best photographer!!

    I found Chris Schmitt because two of my bridesmaids used him for their weddings, and I loved their photos. Chris is an outstanding photographer in every way -- kind, artistic, easy to work with, energetic, passionate, but most importantly SO TALENTED!!! I had a NYE wedding at Casa Del Mar on the beach, and my wedding sneak peek photos are truly insane. Everyone keeps commenting on them and asking who my photographer was. Chris and his wife did the most beautiful job directing us on the wedding day, and he sent my husband and I our photos in a very timely manner, which we so appreciated. Chris was also very organized on the day. We went through our wedding party shots and family shots with lots of time to spare so I could go relax right before my ceremony. Lastly, not only did Chris do our wedding photos, he also shot our engagement photos in Malibu, which are equally as stunning. Hire Chris Schmitt for your big day and you won't regret it!

    Beautifully Captured Every Moment

    Chris was so helpful from our first conversation. He made recommendations on our timeline based on what photos we wanted to get and was able to accommodate a very last minute add on for a videographer! The photos he took are absolutely breathtaking; I want to frame every single one of them! He helped us loosen up in front of the camera, and all the shots look natural. I can't recommend him enough!

    Amazing photographer!

    We cant say enough about Chris' work. We love how our engagement and wedding photos came out. Chris and his wife, Andrea captured us and our special day beautifully. Chris was super easy to work with, relaxed and very professional throughout the whole process. Although my husband comes alive in front of the camera, I am a bit camera shy, but Chris and Andrea made me feel comfortable and made it all easy and fun. We have received multiple compliments on how much others love our photos. I highly recommend Chris and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

We love all of our photos and truly have a full day of photos that he captured. Our album is beautiful and tells our wedding day story perfectly!

    Outstanding!

    I can't say enough about Chris and his team. Our plans were impacted and changed significantly for many reasons, but he was incredibly patient and compassionate and determined to make our moment(s) unforgettable. Because of all of the changes our event was a little chaotic, but his team rolled with it and made it fun. . they even captured great shots of several that "hate to be photographed!" I lead with our experience because it was so unexpected from what I had encountered with photographers in the past. . but this was just the bonus to their INCREDIBLE work! We had our photos back right away and with the work of a perfectionist. I was looking for a balance of candid and creative .. and there are just way too many to choose from!
    Chris Schmitt Photography is by far the best out there. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend them to make your moment unforgettable the way they did ours!

    Chris and Hana were amazing! They were very organized and on top of everything. Quick at getting good shots and flexible with new additions. Great with direction and adaptive to changing schedules. We have beautiful pictures from our wedding. I would recommend them to any of my friends and family.

    Beautiful engagement photos!

    My fiancé and I had an engagement photo shoot with Chris on April 10 at the Arboretum in Arcadia, CA. Chris immediately made us feel at ease and comfortable and when giving us direction. We had so much fun during the shoot, and we were amazed at how quickly Chris turned the photos around. They are stunning! We loved the experience and photos so much that we have hired Chris for our wedding day in October. Highly recommend!

    Chris and his wife Andrea were such a wonderful team to have as our photographer for our wedding! We were able to have an engagement photo session with Chris that was apart of our package so that we could meet before the big day which was super helpful! Throughout the wedding day, they were such a positive, happy, and fun team to have! They knew the venue well and where we would get the best photos. Our wedding photos were delivered to us so fast which was amazing because of the anticipation -- most of my friends who have been married had to wait months for their photos so we were lucky to receive them in less than 1 month! Most importantly, the photos were absolutely beautiful!!!! Chris and Andrea did the best job of truly capturing the day...from getting ready, to the ceremony, to the formals, and finally the reception and all our guests. I can't look through the photos without getting a huge smile on my face. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality wedding photographer -- you will not regret it!

    Creative, Passionate, Dedicated

    Chris is a beyond talented photographer. He is creative and it shows in all of his photos- all of them so unique. He was able to capture my vision of a high fashion wedding seamlessly and he was so fun to collaborate with- he listens. All of our shots are editorial/ magazine worthy and I could not be happier. Definitely book Chris if you want photographer who is passionate about his work, creative with his shots and dedicated to the art of capturing your wedding!!

    Chris Schmitt Photography was the smartest and easiest choice when it came time to selecting a photographer to capture the magic of our engagement photos and our wedding day. We were beyond happy with the finished product. Chris so effortlessly captured the genuine authenticity of our loving and playful relationship. He is an expert in making his clients feel comfortable and enables them to be their true selves in front of the camera. Our photos from both our engagement and wedding came out better than we could have ever hoped or imagined. We feel so strongly about his professional ability and obviously gifted talent behind the camera that we selected him to capture the next magical moment in our lives, our pregnancy photos. Now that our baby girl has arrived, he continues to document our love story, now a tale of three. I highly recommend Chris for any occasion. He is the best!

    Chris and Dre were one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They said what they did and then did what they said. We're extremely happy with the way our photos turned out on top of the easy communication and follow up. I'd highly recommend working with them.

    Wonderful company to work with! Creative, fun and just good people. The only problem is, a wedding album should be about 150 photos max and there are so many great photos to pick from. We love our photos!

    Absolutely the best photographer you can get for your wedding. Chris and Tom were on time and courteous and professional to both me and my guests. I honestly didn't know they were there for the majority of the wedding. Some of the pictures they snapped I didn't even remember. The quality of the photos is breathtaking. Chris will also work with you to customize his packages for what you want and your budget. Seriously - this was money well spent!

    We hired Chris Schmitt to be our wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We got the bride's favorite package and a ton of compliments on our wedding photos and video. He worked really well with Noah Ruderman's team (First Look Films) and they both did an amazing job in capturing our beautiful wedding on photos and film. I cannot thank them enough, and I apologize it took me a while to write this review.

    The 3 top qualities I appreciated about Chris and his team were:

    1) Absolutely gorgeous, world-class photography: Chris has an amazing eye for getting just the right shot/framing, the right lighting/setting, the right expression/feeling on the subjects faces.

    2) Quick delivery time: Chris delivered a sneak-peak within a few days (so you can post on social media ASAP) and our full-set of pictures within 3 weeks of my wedding! I have had friends that waited months and months for their photos.

    3) Easy to work with: Chris was very professional from beginning to end. He was extremely responsive and easy to reach, either by email or phone.

    He has my highest recommendation and I would be happy to work with him again.

    My tip to the bride and groom: agree with Chris on your must-have groups shotlist and designate someone from your family/friends to help gather all the right people and make sure you get every shot. It's difficult for the photographer to know who all your friends and family members are.

    Absolute perfection! We could not have asked a better photographer for our wedding. Chris and his wife, Andrea, captured our wedding day perfectly and the pictures were absolutely breathtaking. We were blown away by his talent and artistic eye. From the start, Chris listened to our vision and made sure he captured every moment that was important to us. Even with a somewhat difficult venue, limited time, and a large wedding party, he was able to capture every singe moment with ease and professionalism. He and Andrea made the day super fun day and kept things moving along and never once felt rushed. Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful and we constantly get compliments on them. Working with Chris was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you both for helping make our day so perfect!

    Chris was recommended to us by our videographer and I am so happy I listened to this recommendation! They came down to San Diego as a team with Andrea. The 3 of them were amazing! We got all the shots we wanted, they turned out great and they were fun to work with! They kept the day moving, found wonderful photo op places and had fun with the day. I can't thank them enough for coming down to shoot our wedding! We love to look at our wedding photos and re-live the day! Thank you!

    Chris and his team were fantastic and such a pleasure to work with. He was so helpful and responsive leading up to the wedding and on the day of, guided us to get some really gorgeous and fun pictures. The pictures are amazing and we have had several friends and family comment on what a great photographer he is. We can't recommend him enough!

    Without a doubt the BEST photographer there is! It was beyond expectations and I'm so happy I went with Chris. Initially he was booked on our first wedding date, then we ended up changing the date and he was available. He worked so hard to get the proper work permits which helped me tremendously, so I wouldn't have to deal with it. He truly cares to capture the perfect picture and is passionate about his work. Chris and his 2nd photographer researched and walked the grounds the day before the wedding, to make sure he found the perfect setting. He was patient with my bridesmaids and I even felt very comfortable when he shot my boudoir pics. I honestly thought I'd chicken out! I'ts been just over a week and Chris is already sending us pics!

    The absolute best! They made our wedding day so special and were so fun to work with. The pictures are beautiful! Chris really helped with the timeline for the day and they even stayed the extra hour (unpaid) to get a few more shots. If that's not going above and beyond what they were asked, I don't know what is!
