Chris from Christopher Todd Studios

Chris is beyond wonderful - he did our engagement photos, our ceremony, and reception. He is extremely experienced and knows how to make you feel comfortable infront of the camera. We had a 180 person wedding at Surf and Sand and he still got our photos back to us (EDITTED!!) within 2 weeks. I cannot wait to put together our wedding album with him because our engagement album is perfect. 10/10 cannot recommend him enough!

Professional

Chris and his team provided us with fantastic service and professionalism from end to end. Even more important, their photos were absolutely stunning. We looked like magazine models in the photos! We would definitely use Christopher Todd studios again.

A great experience!

My husband and I were looking for a professional photographer in Los Angeles for our ocean view wedding. After meeting with several photographers we came across Chris’ online portfolio by chance. Impressed with his work and friendly demeanor, we knew he was our photographer. Hands down the best decision we made.
Chris’ work is amazing. He is an incredibly talented professional. His passion for photography shows in his work. His pictures are crisp, artistic and beautiful. He is timely, honest, responsive and accommodating.
He was great to work with leading up to and on our special day. His easy going, down to earth personality put us immediately at ease in front of the camera. He and his assistant made picture taking fun and easy.
The pictures are absolutely amazing. He captured everything we wanted in our wedding photos and more. The only negative thing about Chris is that he took so many great pictures that it was difficult to pick out the best for our album!
We are very thankful we found Chris. Each of his photos tell a story allowing us to relive our special day.
We would without hesitation recommend Chris to any couple looking for a gifted and experienced photographer.

When your wedding photo means more than just a photo

We went through tons of photographer options for our wedding and Chris was a stand out from the start! His website, life and energy in his photos, and professional and quick responses to our many questions made him one of our favorite vendors to work with. He even memorized our family members names so that on our wedding day they were all relating like old friends. We added last minute events and he made it all happen for us, he made everything so easy. Super cool guy. Phenomenal photography - our engagement and wedding photos are amazing. Excellent value. Highly recommend working with this industry professional, he is the real deal.

Clear and Colorful Photos

Just looking at Chris’ extensive portfolio of work, we knew he could get the right shots, but Chris was also a pleasure to work with. From our initial face-to-face meeting, he advised us on sufficient timing for our schedule, and helped us tailor our timeline to better meet our needs. He was able to keep on schedule, and even ahead of schedule at times, even though we requested for a lot of different photo ops. He made sure we got all the family photos we requested, which can be challenging with 200 guests, but he got it done. Chris is easygoing, but also efficient. We just received our final printed album and the pictures were breathtaking. Thank you Chris for capturing our special day.

WOW! Where to start...
Simply, Chris is the best you can get. We are blown away with the quality of the photos even before he is going to edit them for the wedding album. The guests that have commented on our photos have said that this is the best photographer that they have seen. We were spoiled with Chris and his day of assistant, Michael.

From the portraits, to the details, to the more artistic shots, and to the most important precious moments that we now have a chance to keep with us for the rest of our lives.

His lens had the views and the angles that captured the spirit and the emotion of the wedding, and he captured it with the most incredible style and beauty.

After the wedding, we received compliments of his professionalism and his discretion for not overpowering any moment and always allowing space for the guests to be normal without making anyone move to capture a moment.

From an administrative standpoint, he is punctual, accurate, quick to respond, and a real joy to work with. He also opened our eyes to timeline things that we would have never thought of during our pre ceremony meeting.

You will not go wrong by choosing Chris to capture the most amazing day of your life.

Chris is an amazing and talented photographer! We are EXTREMELY happy that we chose him for our engagement and wedding photos! When looking for our photographer, we wanted someone that wasn't intimidating and had the vision to capture who we are as a couple on camera.

When we first met Chris, he showed us his studio and he was very welcoming and down to earth. He instantly made us feel comfortable speaking to him and helped us open up and bounce ideas off each other. He has a positive attitude with his work and in life, and that was another trait that helped us connect with him He gives great advice when it comes to ideas for both the engagement and wedding photo sessions as well.

Our wedding was on 10/22/16 and Chris came on time with his assistant Ariel, and they went right to shooting. There were so many things going on with both the groom and bride side, he knew what he wanted to do and help direct us with certain shots as well as being in the background when taking candid photos. Both of our families can get really energetic and he was very patient when he was taking many group photos. We had a photo session in-between our ceremony and reception and he recommended a couple amazing locations for photos. He gave us a sneak peak while we were walking and it already looked amazing! During the reception he was able to take amazing photos as well!

It was an such an amazing day, and Chris helped capture the memories perfectly! We highly recommend Chris as your photographer, you won't regret it!

Chris is an absolute professional! From our first meeting with him, my husband and I knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding day. We had a super fun engagement shoot with him and his wife, where we became better acquainted and had lots of fun in his beautiful studio. Chris is a great communicator and was always readily available by phone and email to answer any questions we had during our engagement.

Chris and his lovely assistant, Ariel arrived at my hotel on our wedding day and hit the ground running. They worked their tails off all day and were really welcoming of any last minute photos I wanted. They had a great attitude all day and treated us and our guests so kindly. Chris has a gift when it comes to capturing emotions and it really shows in the photos we have seen so far. That was really important to me.

We received a sneak peek photo the day after our wedding, which was such a joy! And within a few weeks, Chris posted our wedding on his blog. We are completely enamored with our wedding photos and look forward to creating our album with Chris and reliving the day for the rest of our lives through such wonderful photographs! He is absolutely worth the money and will capture your day unlike anyone else.

Christopher Todd and his team were so professional and helpful throughout the whole process of our wedding and planning. We did our engagement photo shoot with Chris, just to see what he was like, and this solidified that he was the right person to capture our big day. From the creative places to take photos to the ease he portrayed, the whole process was incredibly relaxing and exciting.

On our wedding day, Chris and his assistant Ariel couldn't have been more helpful. They took the most amazing photos, made everyone feel so relaxed and enjoy the process of having your photos taken. I actually forgot at certain points that they were there because they blended in so well haha.

For any future couple, looking to trust someone to capture their wedding days' most memorable moments, I highly recommend Christopher Todd Studios.

Thanks Chris!!

Chris Todd is the one to pick. With our initial meeting at a local Starbucks, all of our questions were answered clearly, he was kind, professional, and likeable. The images of his past work were the kind of photos that we wanted and he didn't force us to look or sell us on other services outside of our budget. The communication up to the wedding were swift and efficient, and the day of went off without a hitch. My wife was at ease with him the entire time as he made sure to be unobtrusive and non-demanding. The photos were crisp, full of love, and well posed. The end results were beyond what we had hoped for. I would highly recommend Chris Todd for your next event!

Chris Griffiths and his team photographed my wedding in May 2016. Not only are the pictures they took wonderful, Chris and the team were a pleasure to work with. Prior to the big day, he asked my fiancé and I to identify all the special pictures we wanted to have taken - family, friends, etc. — and he took all of them, and more! Chris and his team were professional and a joy to work with. They were able to capture all the expected shots during the day as well as special moments that could easily have been missed by a less experienced photographer. You can tell they care about what they are doing and are devoted to taking the most beautiful pictures they can. I would recommend Chris Griffiths to any couple who wants a down-to-earth, fun, and kind photographer who is amazing at photography.

We just got our canvases back from our engagement shoot with Chris and we couldn't be happier! The engagement session went really smooth and we are thrilled with the results. Chris was very easy to work with, flexible with all of our wants/needs, and extremely professional. I'm confident that we chose the best photographer for the whole wedding process and can't wait to see the end results after our ceremony!!

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 the third photographer we met with. Five minutes into meeting him we knew we wanted him to be the one to capture beautiful memories of our wedding day and he did just that! He is the perfect blend of professional and personable. We felt so comfortable with him from the beginning! We are over the moon with appreciation and just adore our wedding album and all our wedding photos!!!

BEST DAY EVER!! ....and the result was amazing AMAZING PHOTOS!! Everyone loves them. He came highly recommended from my sister-in-law and I'm so glad that we went with him. Reasonable prices and very cool and natural photos. He and his staff were so easy to work with and this is coming from a lazy and unmotivated camera-shy bride!!

His turnaround time is ridiculously fast and he's super responsive to your questions and needs. Working with Chris is truly a joy. I can't wait to have kids so he can we can take more photos!!

AMAZING!!!! HAPPY HAPPY BRIDE!!!

Booking Christopher as your photographer will be the best decision you ever make....TRUST ME! He is creative and he captures the most amazing photos that are not your typical wedding shots. His level of expertise shows tremendously in everything he does. We couldn't be happier with the pictures that Christopher provided us with. Everyone that looks at our wedding photos just LOVES them, there are so many amazing photos that all of our friends and family have a different favorite pic!

I also want to share a story on why you shouldn't look any further with booking Christopher Todd as your wedding photographer. We actually booked another photographer for our wedding day, and as many other brides, I was overwhelmed with everything I had to do for the wedding and I didn't really didn't do my homework for wedding photography. My wedding went flawlessly and we couldn't have been happier with the day. That happiness only lasted 2 weeks until the photographer we hired informed us that she had lost all of our wedding photos due to a memory card error. I was devastated to say the least. My husband insisted we do a re-shoot so that we had pictures to hang on our walls. My husband did extensive research into wedding photographers in Orange County. He interviewed numerous photographers over a 2 week time period and Christopher Todd just outshines everyone! We were so excited to re-shoot with Christopher. As soon as we met Christopher we felt his positive energy. We had so much fun with him and all his great photo ideas!

The point of my story....don't just hire anyone for your wedding. HIRE CHRISTOPHER TODD!!! Your wedding photographer is the most important thing you will book for your wedding!!!!! I learned that the hard way! I wish I could go back in time and have Chris there for my actual wedding day, but everything happens for a reason. I am now here to help other brides not make the same mistake I did. HIRE CHRISTOPHER TODD!!! XOXO.

Chris was referred to us after our engagement photographer needed to cancel our wedding booking (for a good reason.. she was pregnant and her due date was the day of our wedding). She knew Chris and highly recommended him, but naturally, we were nervous because we only met him on the wedding day AND we were planning this wedding long-distance.

Chris was nothing but responsive and friendly and professional the entire time we were working with him. He responded quickly to every email I sent him, and was kind enough to accept the rate that our original photographer gave us, even though it is much cheaper than he usually charges.

The day of the wedding, he was so kind and professional! Our dogs were running around and he took some pictures of them too, which was so cute. :) He was just wonderful the day of, and once we got the pictures, we saw that he captured the love we felt throughout the day.

Christopher Todd is a very talented photographer. I was immediately drawn to his work because of his beautiful use of color. But I must say he was a very fun and non intrusive photographer on the day of the wedding.His ideas were great and he has a great personality and at times I didn't even realize he was around but he captured the essence of the wedding!!

Chris was AWESOME. Not only was he hilarious, fun, easy and comfortable to work with the day OF the wedding, he put up with my slackeriness and laziness post wedding like no other. I'm probably the most unresponsive bride he's ever come across, and yet he was politely persistent and patient with me until we finally got the book done. He was a blast to hang out with when reviewing the pics post wedding (when I finally responded to him...), and he put together the book and made edits in an extremely efficient and timely manner.

I would 100% recommend him for any wedding or occasion. He's a cool dude, has a great eye and talent for photography, and is extremely easy to work with.

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 with Christopher Todd Studios is beyond wonderful. Aside from the fact that he produces gorgeous photos, he has an effortless way of making people feel comfortable. It's obvious when there's a disconnect in photos, so finding someone we were comfortable with was huge. The moment I met Chris--and the moment my then-fiancé did--we immediately connected. Chris' non-posey and natural photography style was very attractive to us, and it was exactly what we wanted. From day 1 to the day our wedding album arrived, Chris was readily available, answered our endless questions, and made sure that the pictures we wanted on our wedding day were taken. He was flexible with us when it came to scheduling our engagement session (because every bride's schedule is ridiculously full when planning a wedding!), open with us about his ideas and suggestions, and was very thorough in everything he did. We didn't have one bad experience with Chris or his team prior to, on, or after our wedding day. We recently got our GORGEOUS wedding album and couldn't be happier. Chris took the time to go through our hundreds of photos with us and narrow the photos for our album down to about 70. He listened to our ideas for the layout and design of the album and made it happen. I highly recommend Chris to any couple who is looking for quality, availability, professionalism, fun, comfort, reliability, and stunning photos with which to immortalize their wedding day. THANK YOU CHRIS!!!

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. 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.

Christopher was amazing! His eye for colors, focus, background, and visual framing is amazing. He is a true professional artist. Anyone can just take a photo and call themselves a photographer, but Chris makes it an art. We were very picky about our photographer and actually met about 10 of them, but Chris' pictures were the ones that stood out head over shoulder above the rest AND his pricing was very similar to the other photographers. Our final wedding photos ended up being just like them. Also, throughout meeting him, the engagement shoot, and the grand wedding day, he always made us feel confident and comfortable that whatever shot he took will be a great one. It felt like we were getting ready for a magazine shoot every time. We fully trusted his eye and he did not disappoint at all. He is also very professional and super quick with his turnaround time in getting our engagement and wedding pictures to us. By the time we were back from our honeymoon, our wedding pictures were already ready for us to view. It was a very pleasant surprise. He also made sure all our friends and family were given the proper attention and care with the pictures he took. We were ALL stars! Also, I almost forgot to add that he is not afraid bring up the idea of experimenting with new photography techniques and one of the most amazing pictures from our wedding came from his creativeness!

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!

Chris is an amazing photographer. I found him online through his reviews and found that he was the best value, the most responsive and totally upfront. I often found while in the wedding planning process that I always felt like I was at a used car lot. Someone is always trying to hustle you and play on your emotions of wanting a fairy tale. I felt like I could never get a straight answer and someone was always trying to upsell us. Chris was the complete opposite. He is totally professional, responsible, and gifted. Our pictures are gorgeous and people are always telling us that they are the best wedding photos that they have ever seen. You DEFINITELY should pick him.

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 wedding images, and we are grateful he could be a part of our big day. True gem in the photography field!

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 that 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.

Thank you Chris!

Selecting a photographer was the most important part of planning my wedding, besides my handsome groom ;) The images from a wedding are displayed in homes, sent as Christmas cards, and on display in many other ways. Not only did the images have to look flawless, which mine did thanks to Chris, but the attitude and professionalism of a photographer needs to be over-the-top perfect. Someone who is involved and can command a crowd without being pushy. Someone who gives you enough space to have a sentimental and intimate feeling with your spouse but who is still able to capture the precious moments up close. Chris was the perfect fit for me! He was great at helping coordinate a timeline for my day to make sure I got the pictures I wanted. He offered his years of experience, kind disposition, and amazing talent to help me make my day "picture perfect."

Chris was our photographer for our wedding on June 8th. The reason we went with Chris was because we loved his images that captured an event with both formal and informal shots. We loved that his approach was layed back but still professional. Chris understood what we were after in making sure we had candid photos along with the 'formal poses' for the day. The photos we got back were amazing (not to mention he was very quick to get these to us! We were still on our honeymoon when Chris sent the link). I also loved that Chris takes the first shot at doing the photo album for you. It's something that we would have taken ages to do on our own!

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!

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!

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.

If you are seeking a photographer that can capture beautiful moments as they occur, Christopher Todd is your man. One of the most important moments of my wedding was when my wife and I said "I do" and we both happen to look up as it started to sprinkle rain. In my culture this is a blessing from the gods. Chris captured this moment, along with many others , making him my go to guy for any photography needs.

Chris was recommended to us by a friend of mine and he was amazing to work with. We felt really comfortable with him and my husband and I hate taking pictures. He was very cordial, professional, fun, and extremely courteous (and I say courteous because my crazy family was completely picture crazy and they were just everywhere! Poor Chris had to maneuver around them. He wasn’t rude, pushy, or anything like that. Completely courteous). He was exactly what we were looking for in a photographer (because we have seen some other photographers that seemed pushy and short tempered). The pictures came out great. He knew the venue really well and got great angles and shots. I also have to note and on the wedding day, I realized that I forgot to tell him about a time change in the schedule and that we needed him 30 minutes earlier, so I actually called him the day of, at 7am, and he was STILL super nice. I don’t recommend putting him through this, but it was just another example of how well he worked with us.

I would give him more stars than 5 if I could. Chris is the most passionate, talented, and hard working photographer there is. I would recomend him to anyone. in fact, if you don't go with him, you are missing out. Wedding photography is so important because at the end of the day, photos are what you are left with. Chris has done our engagement photos as well as our wedding. And at both times, my husband and I were blown away by his beautiful work. He is extremely personable and very easy going. His turn around time is amazingly fast too. I heard horror stories from other married friends who had to wait about 5 months to see a single photo from their photographer ( not as good as Chris but way more expensive than Chris) But we got to see some of our beautiful wedding photos a day after our wedding on Chris's blog! We love Chris and his work! Check out his blog. His work speaks for itself.

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!

Chris' photography is nothing short of amazing! He really captured the warmth and love that my husband and I felt on our wedding day. We were married in Kauai and for us it was important to have someone we trusted to capture all of the moments of the wedding. Chris really knew what we wanted and it was more like a friend was at our wedding. If you want an amazing photographer who you can trust and will produce amazing photography please look no futher!

Christopher Todd Studios was awesome to work with. Chris is a great guy who really gets to know his clients. He really goes out of his way to make sure you love your photos. He has really creative ideas regarding placement, camera angles, lighting, and photo editing (and I really loved his style because nothing is overly edited). Chris is very easy to work with and is easy to get a hold of if I had any questions, concerns, or ideas. There were certain types of photos that I really wanted at the wedding and Chris (and his lovely assistant Sarah) went out of their way to make sure those four or five specific photos were taken. My mom really wanted traditionally posed photos and I really, really wanted more of a mock-photojournalistic look and Christopher Todd Studios made sure everyone was happy. We LOVE our photos and would recommend this photographer to anyone!

And ps, the day after our wedding, he already had more than twenty photos edited and posted on his blog for us to see! I loved that!

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.

We chose Imagery Immaculate off of theknot.com. We had never met Chris before, but we browsed his blog and found his photos incredible. We took a leap of faith and hired him to photograph our engagement session and our wedding. We live in Florida, so it was really hard to find time to meet with Chris for our engagement session. He was so nice and actually did our engagement pics on a weekend. We talked over the phone a few times and I told him what sort of style we were looking for. He had fantastic recommendations for our engagement session and it turned out amazing. We were so happy with our engagement photos. We wanted to hang some photos at our wedding and it was so last minute that we let him know. He was able to get prints made in time and the photos looked great at the wedding. We are so happy with the shots we have seen so far from the wedding, we believe we could not have chosen a better photographer. He was so much fun at the wedding and just felt like another guest. He got right in on the action and we know he got some fantastic shots of everyone. Although I did not even notice him at the ceremony, he got some incredible shots! It was great that he blended in when he needed to and was able to get great photos. He did such a good job with our families and wedding party photos. He was so good at giving direction to people to make sure we got the shots we wanted. Chris was just an all-around fun and fantastic photographer. We would recommend Chris for everyone we know because we know that our special day has been documented in the exact way we wanted it to be. We could not be happier with Chris and Imagery Immaculate.

Christopher Todd did a wedding events photo shoot at the Island Hotel and our company, Orange Clementine, was one of the vendors featured in the shoot. The photos were amazing and they are photos we choose more often for marketing our business to for weddings and California style wedding themed weddings. Christopher Todd shot photos of our mini pound cakes and citrus cookies that look so fabulous you just want to pick them up and eat them!

Chris and his team were great- simple as that. He was really responsive and made everyone feel at ease on the day of the wedding. I went with Chris for a lot of reasons but the fact that he is a REAL photographer was a huge plus. Meaning- he has actually shot weddings on film! not just digital He really knows what he is a doing as a professional photographer with years of experience. Couldn't have asked for more
