About

I love my job! I have a photojournalistic style and specialize in shooting candids. That is what I'm good at so if you are looking for fine art portraits then I am probably not the photographer for you. :) I love to see people laugh and be themselves. I never considered myself sappy but apparently I have a sixth sense for anticipating special moments. I also incorporate a little editorial (magazine) style, mostly for the bridal party photos. I tend to become friends with my clients and like to provide a laid back atmosphere so that everyone feels comfortable. My style can be described as simple, fun, emotional, story-telling, natural, and fresh.

Reviews of Christine Chang Photography

If you're looking for a photographer who takes pictures with amazing lighting, captures your most natural moments, and is incredibly easy to work with - you've found her! Christine took our engagement pictures up in the Bay Area and they turned out amazing!! She was down to explore the forests and fields to find the perfect spots for pictures. I love her calm presence and her ability to make people look so natural. I had so many great shots to use for our wedding website and our Save the Date. I'm so thankful that I found her years ago while browsing wedding photographers and that she was available to take our pictures. She'll be shooting our wedding in Santa Ynez and I can't wait to see how they will turn out! I would HIGHLY recommend her and that's coming from someone who planned weddings in the past - a very easy going photographer is very, very important! You want your perfect day to go as smoothly as possible and your pictures to turn out magical!

The only person I know that can make the memory a grand Indian wedding of 2000 people still the most personable experience for the wedding couple and family. Christina brings her passion and love for adventure, life, colours, perfection and emotions in every click she takes. I will easily have her for every wedding in my family as each picture she takes has a unique story. In her own subtle ways she manages to capture the moments in a manner that no one else I know can do. I can't wait to invite her at the next opportunity. Highly recommend Christina she's best of the best. ??.

Christine photographed my family of four (me, my fiancé, our 1.5yr old and 2 month old) at our home in the Presidio, San Francisco and the surrounding area. The morning of you could say "life happened"-- our 1.5yr old was in a horrible mood and refused to nap. My husband, the perpetual optimist, even admitted "We're in trouble!"
Well you wouldn't know it from the photos Christine produced. She skillfully captured the soft, precious moments in between that remind me of our connections. We look GOOD yet still our authentic selves (no small feat considering we haven't slept in 2 yrs!). She brings humor and lightness to times that aren't going quite "right"-- some of my favorite photos are the ones that capture our 1.5yr old belting out screams! They're real and raw, just as we are. Managing this while weaving in a newborn who doesn't follow direction ;) and multiple locations is no small task. Christine makes it seem effortless and the variety in the final photos is unbelievable.
Personally I am not one who loves herself photographed. I generally wince and filter the heck out of a set of photos before forwarding them on or posting. Add to that having had 2 babies back to back.. But I am nothing but flattered by the final images-- all of them. As a new-ish mom who needs reminding through sleeplessness and exhaustion that we're doing more than ok, Christine has done just that. Priceless! I couldn't be happier.

Christine was our wedding photographer 6 years ago. I still cherish every photo of our wedding she took. She made the whole experience fun and easy (and my husband and I are both so awkward in front of the camera).
Since then, we've had two kids and she takes our family photos almost twice a year. The photos we have of the kids are beyond priceless to me. She manages to capture the true essence of their personalities, all the while making it fun and easy.
Having her as a photographer for the big day or any other occasion is truly the best decision every time.

One of the best decisions my husband and I made during our wedding planning was to have Christine Chang as our wedding photographer. Our planner gave us many options but Christine was the best of the rest! And the proof are in the wedding photos which have so realistically chronicled the love and joy for our big day. We are so proud of the photos, they have adorned our cards, our walls, are in picture frames, and have been joyously shared with family and friends. Christine Chang is fun, creative, reliable, friendly, inspirational and professional at the same time. Now that is a great combination in a wedding photographer! She will motivate and capture and inspire the best of you as a couple on your wedding in her photography. All things that were important to us for our wedding photographer. Needless to say, we were pretty overjoyed with our decision.

When is comes to capturing the perfect candid moment, Christine Chang has an insane natural talent for doing so. After capturing our surprise engagement so beautifully, we knew we had to work with her again. She recently photographed our wedding at the SmogShoppe (Culver City, CA) back in November and gave us almost 700 photos (each one better than the last) displaying a unique blend of perspectives from that of our guests, and of us, the bride and groom. We did not hire a videographer and thought we may have made a mistake by not doing so, but thanks to Christine every moment of our special day was captured beautifully - we could not be more satisfied. She is not only a wonderful and gifted photographer, but equally as wonderful a person. She will give your wedding the same care and attention as if it were her own. We highly recommend Christine Chang Photography for your wedding day!

Christine is absolutely amazing. I feel so honored to have had her as my wedding photographer. Her work speaks volumes. She has the ability to capture so much emotion in her work. When I look at my wedding photos, I am able to relive the moments as if it were yesterday. She makes you feel so incredibly comfortable that it feels like you're hanging out with a old friend. Christine is beyond professional and responds back to email promptly. Christine is everything I wanted in a photographer and more!

When it comes to picking your wedding photographer, you just don't have a second chance. No matter how amazing the venue, caterer, DJ, party - ANYTHING - the most tangible and lasting memories will be those captured by your photographer.

My wife and I feel overwhelmingly blessed and fortunate that we chose Christine as our photographer for our wedding at BR Cohn in Sonoma, CA. We were first impressed by her website, as it not only demonstrated her vast range and ability to capture the perfect moment in any situation, but it reflected exactly the kind of style we wanted: natural, authentic, in-the-moment, and memorable.

Christine made a great impression from the very first point of contact: responsive, friendly, and open to finding out what worked best for us. We also appreciated the fact that she made an effort to connect with us on a personal level, as it really made a difference to us that she wanted to get to know us as a couple, rather than just "another client".

When it came to the day of the wedding, you could not hope for anything more. She knew the day's itinerary like the back of her hand (and admittedly, better than I did and many other of our vendors!), and was able to comfortably make her way to every crucial moment, position herself in the best spots, and capture every key memory that you knew (and many you didn't know!) you wanted to be captured. I also love the candid moments she was able to photograph, the kind of shots that separated our wedding from all the others, the kind that made our special day feel truly unique and one-of-a-kind.

When we received our proofs, the results took our breath away. Christine went beyond taking the standard, cookie-cutter poses that litter wedding blogs and magazines alike. I don't know how she does it, but she had the uncanny ability to capture not just our best side, but our most genuine and heart felt moments and emotions. I can't imagine many people can do what she does, so don't miss out!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
