Chris and b provided us with amazing photos, excellent customer service, respect, humor, and professionalism. We LOVED having them photograph our wedding and we would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, anywhere. Chris and b make you feel at ease and have a lot of fun.

Chris & Brandi are such talented photographers. They will capture every wedding moment and most of all the pictures will reflect your personality.They are organized, work well as a team and Chris will give direction on what will look best on film. If you are camera shy they will help you feel comfotable and add fun to any photoshoot. We booked them for our engagement & wedding photographers. It was the best decision of the wedding since now we will have beautiful photos to last us a lifetime. Thanks Brandi & Chris for sharing your talent with all of us!

We wish we could fully express the value of La Brisa photography. First of all, both B and Chris are ARTISTS. The quality of work from these two photographers stuns you when you view it each time. We check their website on a daily basis for new photographs to drool over.

For our wedding in November of 2011, B and Chris made us (Bill and Lindsay) feel so confident and prepared; we had nothing to worry about. We had talked several times about what we were looking for the day of our wedding, and B and Chris fully delivered. They both came to our rehearsal to get a "feel" for the church, but they also introduced themselves to several family members, and they made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.

That day, B was our main shooter, and she did a phenomenal job. From the time the day started, B and Chris were present making sure everything ran smoothly. We actually got behind that day getting our hair done, and B and Chris were totally flexible and calmed me (the bride) down when I began to panic. While B was shooting, Chris held my dress if needed, fetched food and water, and went above and behind what the "photographer" is expected to do (again, they are artists, but also both just such GOOD people).

B and Chris made everyone's experience so phenomenal that day. From Bill's grandmothers who are still talking about how "nice those young photographers were", to our wedding party who can still be heard today shouting Thursday, to our parents who still can't get over how they received their own CD of our pictures in the mail two weeks after our wedding. We have both been in several weddings, and pictures can be the dreaded part of the day. We, along with our wedding party, had so much fun because of B and Chris--everyone had a genuine smile because of them! We didn't want them to ever stop taking pictures!

B and Chris started photos before 8 a.m. that morning, when we were at the salon to get our hair done. They did not stop taking pictures until the dance was almost over (around midnight). Never, in our lives, have we witnessed such dedication from two people to their profession.

Since our wedding, we have had many different people request their information so they could hire La Brisa. Several times, we have been approached and told that our wedding pictures were the best they've ever seen. People have mistaken fields near Lyons, NE for a beach in San Diego, CA... because, "There is no way that sunset photo was taken in Nebraska."

The day after our wedding, B had our teasers up on Facebook, which was so amazing. It allowed all our friends and family who had not been there, or who had, to live the memories of our special day. As mentioned earlier, we had a copy of our pictures in our hands two weeks after the day of our wedding.

We did not even have a videographer at our wedding because we were so confident La Brisa would capture the emotion of our wedding day, and B and Chris did that and so much more. On a daily basis, we look at our wedding pictures online and the many framed ones we have up around our house.

So, without a doubt, wholeheartedly, we recommend the services of La Brisa Photography. They are insanely fun, so flexible they remind the bride to breathe when she panics, and truly are artists. B and Chris are personable, hilarious, and at the same time, true professionals in their field. Go La Brisa!

Hubby and I were lucky enough to have La Brisa Photography photograph our October 29, 2011 wedding. We met Chris and B at our engagement session and they greeted us with hugs and smiles making us instantly more comfortable and relaxed.

I emailed/texted/called Chris several times before our wedding and he always replied in a very timely manner and it was one of the best working relationships I've ever had!

Chris and B started with us at 8am the morning of the wedding and stayed until the very end of the reception at 11pm. They were both very professional yet very friendly the whole day. A few things that we really appreciated the day of the wedding was that they were very knowledgeable about how we had scheduled the day and were great about keeping everyone on schedule. I also never saw them during our ceremony which we really appreciated. They took fabulous photos of our ceremony but they were never in our faces, disturbing views of our family members, or disrupting the ceremony. Several guests commented that if you weren't at the wedding, you feel as though you were there with the detailed photos taken throughout the entire day. I really appreciated all the small details they captured...our rings, programs, favors, cake, food, centerpieces, hugs, facial expressions, etc.

La Brisa is very reasonably priced for the quality of photos they take. We received DVDs of all our wedding photos about a month after our wedding which is extremely fast!

Overall, we have a wonderful relationship with Chris and B of La Brisa Photography and hope to work with them again in the future! We would recommend La Brisa to everyone in search of a photographer for any chapter in life!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about the service La Brisa Photography provided during the months leading up to our wedding, on the day itself and the weeks followiing.

In the weeks leading up to the wedding Chris took time to Skype conference with us to make sure we had a schedule and portrait line-up that was ammenable to our day. Of all our vendors, Chris was the one who helped us set the pace for everyone else- I don't know what we would have done without his preparation assistance!

On the day of the wedding Chris and Brandi fit right in with all of our family and friends. From our first-look to the very end of the reception, they made everything comfortable and special, a perfect combination for an otherwise hectic day! We knew they had captured our day beautifully before we even saw pictures. However, when Chris approached my husband and I during our reception and handed us an IPad with a photo slideshow of photos from the day already going, our jaws hit the floor. It was amazing to reflect on the day as the evening came to a close. I was so thankful for their attention to detail and obvious desire to provide top-notch customer service on-top of everything else they had done that day.

We recently received La Brisa's discs of our photos and laughed, cried and reminisced as we looked through all of the incredible images. Chris and Brandi were able to provide us not only with hundreds of beautiful images, but also memories of our day that we will have forever. We highly recommend La Brisa Photography for your wedding portraiture needs!

We are in love with La Brisa! After our wonderful experience with our attraction session in Las Vegas, Nevada we were so pleased to learn that Chris was willing to travel to South Carolina to be our wedding photographer. I can’t tell you how many e-mails, texts and phone calls I made to Chris while planning our big day and he always got back to me in a timely manner; if he was ever irritated in the fact that I relentlessly contacted him, he never showed it. He showed up for our rehearsal dinner, was there before half of my bridesmaids were the morning of the wedding and took every shot I requested. Throughout the day and night, he was able to upload photos and show me what he’d taken, which was such a nice touch. Everyone in my family and wedding party was thoroughly impressed with him and I am so lucky to have been blessed with such a talented, professional, reliable photographer to be able to capture memories that we will treasure for the rest of our life together. He’s truly the nicest guy to work with and his love of his career shows through his work. I’ve already requested that Chris be there for the maternity and newborn photos of my future children… we have found our family photographer. Thank you so much, Chris!

La Brisa Photography provided the most professional, friendly, and valuable of services out of all the vendors at our wedding. Both Chris and B were present to document our wedding day, and they were both incredibly pleasant and fun to work with. My family hates having pictures taken, but Chris and B made it an experience that everyone enjoyed. Our smiles were honest and natural, and it showed in the photos! These two photographers have a true knack for making people feel comfortable. One of the wonderful things about their service, was a slide show presentation of some of the wedding shots during the dancing part of the wedding. It was wonderful for our guests to see first hand the amazing scenes they were capturing. They really went out of their way to add personal touches to our photos and made sure to get all the pictures we wanted. Now that the wedding is over, one of the greatest pleasures we have is to look back at the amazing photos of the day. Chris and B really captured the essence of the wedding day and their beautiful pictures hold some really lovely memories.

La Brisa Photography did an amazing job capturing every detail of our wedding day. They were so much fun to work with and so helpful. On the "big day" I was rushing around finalizing last minute details and Chris & B jumped right in to help out, they also reminded me to ENJOY the day and delegate what could be delegated. Also, my husband and I saw each other prior to me walking down the isle and I was afraid it would be less special; however the way Chris and B set it up was perfect! I felt like they really tried to get to know us and take pictures that were an accurate portrayal of the love we share! They were extremely professional; and I felt like they were really enjoying themselves too. A wedding day makes for a long day, yet they never showed a bit of fatigue. They were there the entire time, they also had so much patience for a nervous bride (myself) and the wedding party (which probably had to much to drink). I got my pictures in the mail very promptly and it was great going through them because there truly were details that I would have forgotten had I not had the pictures.

I could go on for pages and pages about how wonderful Chris is. Not only as a person but in his talent of photography as well. So instead of going on and on, I'll just say this: If you're even considering or thinking about having Chris as your photographer, just book him now! You'll NEVER regret the decision!

Unbelievable! It is impossible to put into words, how amazing a photographer Chris Hsieh, La Brisa, is. We had the privilege of having Chris as our photographer for our wedding April 16, 2011 in San Martin, California. Our guests are still raving about the photos. We cannot be happier.

When planning our wedding, like all weddings, there is so much work that goes into all the details—but at the end of the event, you are left with memories, some extra bling, and the Photos! While it’s nice to recall your memories to your friends—it is apparent that amazing photos are important for capturing those details ( also, to portray the fact you did, in fact, have the most amazing wedding of the century , move over Will and Kate.) For us, it was especially important as we were married in California, my family is from NY/NJ and my husband’s family is from Hawaii—so to our loved ones who were not able to make the trip we needed great photos to display our event so they felt like they were there—that is was Chris did for us.

There are a ton of photographers out there, to highlight the fact that Chris surpasses them all and is really your only choice for your wedding, I’ve listed some of this key traits:

Professionalism: Beginning with organizing the schedule of photographs for our wedding to presentation of the photos afterwards on Facebook, Chris’ aim of achieving excellence in his profession was apparent.

Skill: The quality and level of artistic expression of the photographs we received made our jaw drop. When reviewing the photos, we continuously said “Wow” “wow” “that’s amazing.” See for yourself: http://www.facebook.com/notes/la-brisa-photography/jennifer-jason-wedding-san-martin-ca-chris/157982897597117

Personality/Character: When you spend so much time planning and so much of your childhood hours dreaming of this single day, stress levels have the potential to run high. Having a calm and personable person by your side for the day is a must. Chris’ positive, pleasant, amiable personality was greatly welcomed. It was wonderful to have him there as I was getting ready! He even offered to get me more Starbucks Tea! And he gave me his iPad so I could read some Psalm to calm my nerves! By the end of the day, he became a friend; it felt like he should have been part of the bridal party!

Taking a look at his work and spending a couple minutes with Chris, will make your decision for a photographer clear. There are too many other details to worry about with a wedding, make your photographer choice an easy one! Chris really is the best!! Thanks La Brisa—I am recommending you to all my friends--so get ready for trips to Nyc and Cali :)!!

I could not have asked for more from a photographer. Chris was there from the time I was getting my makeup done to the last dance of the night. Chris is extremely talented in that he gets all the shots one could want and then some. He is a true master of his craft. He has a knack for making everyone comfortable. My wedding images were absolutely stunning. The best in the business in my opinion.

I absolutely cannot find enough words to describe just how absolutely happy, thrilled, impressed, and simply in awe my husband and I are about our entire experience with Chris of La Brisa Photography. Chris is a phenominal photographer and his easy going but professional attitude and character made our wedding day "photo shoot" feel so comfortable and fun!! Chris was able to get everyone laughing and having a great time, which he was able to capture beautifully in our photos. We are so incredibly pleased with the way our photos turned out. The candid shots were so creative and the "posed" shots look like something straight out of a bridal magazine. The photos simply take my breath away every time I look at them and I'm so happy to say they're mine! We were introduced to Chris through my brother in law and were "gifted" him as our wedding gift... BEST WEDDING GIFT we received, hands down!!! I would absolutely recommend La Brisa Photography to anyone and everyone, for any occasion, and eagerly look forward to the next time we can work with Chris.

There aren't enough words to describe what a fabulous photographer Chris truly is! He not only has a fantastic eye, but he cares about the individuals in the photos he captures. He made my husband & I feel so comfortable the day of our wedding. The photos were natural, creative, and unique... not cookie cutter shots you see on every other photography website. He even flew in from Houston to shoot our So. CA wedding. And even though Chris had never seen our wedding venue before the day of, he still was able to incorporate many of the unique aspects of the property to capture some great shots. We were especially impressed w/ the "sneak peak" slideshow he created for us during dinner! Our photos turned out so amazing & we couldn't have been more happy with our overall experience. I would recommend Chris & La Brisa Photography to anyone looking for amazing talent & professionalism.

I can't say enough good things about La Brisa Photography. Chris and Brandi are not only our wedding photographers but our lifetime photographers. They are such great people with wonderful personalities.
I didn't know Chris or Brandi before viewing their website but I was sold after looking through some of their images online. After meeting Chris for our first shoot, I knew I made the right choice. My husband really hates to get his picture taken but once we got home from our shoot, he told me Chris really made the experience enjoyable and couldn't wait to see the finished product.
Photography was my #1 priority for my wedding (yes, over my dress) but I didn't have a worry in the world about how my photos were going to turn out. I really felt like they were there for me and my new husband on our wedding day. They were able to work with my ideas and bought their own great talent to the table. On top of that, their service goes way over what I expected. You wont be disappointed when you hire La Brisa Photography!

We used Chris from La Brisa Photography to photograph our wedding and he was the easiest and most successful vendor choice I had to make! I had been a bridesmaid in a previous wedding Chris had photographed and when it was my turn to get married, I knew there was nobody else I wanted for mine. His outgoing and excited personality helps keep you comfortable and relaxed and Chris is great at dealing with all different family dynamics. Even though we lived in Colorado, were being married in Kansas, and he was moving from New York to Houston, we never once had an issue with contacting him, getting quick responses, or having the time with him to make sure everything was set up to go right. Plus, Chris was very flexible! When we had spur of the moment ideas on our wedding day of pictures and places we wanted them, he went with the flow and had fun with it too. Of course the best part though is the pictures he created. They are fantastic and I have received too many compliments to count on how great they turned out. Chris is an amazing photographer who will go above and beyond to make his clients happy and that makes him one of the best wedding photographers you could possibly use!

It is by some amazing grace that we were able to work with La Brisa photography for our wedding. Their work EXCEEDS expectations by leaps and bounds. For any bride hoping to capture all the joy at all the right times .. this is it. Before the wedding: Chris' incredible communication and planning skills put you at ease. At the wedding: Chris is able to charm the best out of everyone while capturing these beautiful moments. Brandi was amazing to work with too! Everyone loved both of them. I've been to weddings where the photogs were unable to get people organized and took cookie cutter pictures. With La Brisa, you get easy going professionalism, and yes - an unforgettable album (we've gotten compliments to no end).
