Chris is amazing! He is like part of our family as he has been our photographer for years now. He did our engagement photos, wedding, pregnancy, newborn, and does our yearly Christmas photos! He is very professional, easy to be around, and gets amazing shots! He does more than just the same old boring poses and backdrops. He has a great eye for photo locations. Can't say enough great things about him! He will continue to be our family photographer for years to come. read more

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. read more

Christopher did a fabulous job with my 2 kids (age 7 and 10). He was able to make them feel comfortable and was able to capture their natural smiles. Not only did the kids have a great time, we are very pleased with the results and so grateful. I highly recommend Christopher Todd Studios! read more

We have used him for family birthdays, portraits and many other occasions. He is truly great and talented. He is very friendly and cool. He knows how to capture the moment. I will definitely use him again. read more

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! read more

Chris is the best!! Chris was the photographer for my engagement and wedding and I absolutely love all of his photos! Not only is he amazingly talented, he is a joy to work with. Chris was our favorite vendor at our wedding. I highly recommend Chris to everyone! read more

So Happy with our Choice to use Chris! We have worked with many photographers over the years and Chris is one of the best. This was a special event for 7 couples all married 60 years or more. Yes you read that correctly. As the caterer for this event we had our list of wants for Chris and he more than delivered. His relaxed demeaner and interaction with the guests enabled them to relax and the pictures were truly magical. I would highly recommend Chris for any setting. A real Professional! read more

I needed some images for a website. I've had lackluster results in the past, but I was hopeful after looking at a lot the shots on Chris' website. Chris was very friendly and straightforward in booking a date. The shoot went great, Chris provided me over 60 shots to choose from, and the final three were everything I was looking for. The whole process from shooting to photoshop-retouched final images was just over 1 day! For the quality, the price was very reasonable, too. Thanks again! read more

We have nothing but good things to say about Chris and his team. He was highly recommended to us and we're so glad we went with him. He's done our engagement, wedding, newborn and family photos. Working with him is fun and he takes the stress out the whole experience. He's the best in his field and you won't regret working with him! read more

Chris was great to work with, efficient and competitively priced. We used him for our holiday photos and he was extremely patient with my 1 1/2 yr old son. He gave us such a great selection of photos to choose from that it took me over a week to narrow them down. We had our proofs and prints so quickly that I did not have any time to get impatient. Thanks for everything Chris! We will be calling again! read more

Chris has done our family portraits for over 7 years. We've done pregnancy photo shoots, portraits of the kids throughout the years and family portraits. Each experience has been exceptional. He is amazing with my kids. Their attention span is short, well...very short...and he is patient and clever in his approach to them to keep them interested and engaged. Working with him on the details of the shoot is always easy and seamless. Of course....the result of the photographs are the absolute most important part of this equation. The photographs are beautiful and capture my children's personality, inner beauty as well as their physical beauty. I cherish each picture. I could not recommended Chris more than I do. I look forward each year to seeing him, doing our shoot and finally seeing our photos. read more

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!! read more

Chris was the photographer for the headshots on our company's new website. We could not have been happier with his work! He was professional, communicated well, kept everyone in good spirits, and provided the finished photos within days. Everyone in the office has been talking about what a great experience it was! read more

Working with Chris was such a pleasant experience; the session was carefully crafted. He covered all the bases and listened to what I was looking for in my headshot. I had specific ideas of how I wanted my headshot to be, and I showed him a few examples; not only he listened but he went the extra mile to educate me and show why a specific lighting will or will not work. He gave excellent directions and made me feel at ease, and the best part is: my headshot reflects it! Highly and definitely recommended! read more

Chris did such a great job at our wedding that we had him do our baby's newborn shoot as well as our first family photos for Christmas. The pictures turned out so beautiful and so professional that they are all over our house! Thanks so much Chris! Can't wait for the next baby! read more

Chris is a devoted and extremely talented photographer. He photographed our engagement session and wedding. Though the wedding pictures are still pending (we just had our wedding), we are so happy with the results from our engagement session. We received many complements from our wedding guests, with some commenting how our engagement photos could be wall art. He is professional, experienced, knows what he is doing, and is easy to work with. We'll definitely be asking Chris to photograph future events! read more

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 outshined 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. Don't hesitate another second, hire Christopher and you will thank me later. Christopher saved our wedding memories. We have the most BEAUTIFUL wedding pictures in the world. I strongly believe no one else could have done a better job (remember we did our research). I smile every time I look at our pictures. Christopher will always have a very special place in our hearts. We will definitely hire him again soon to take pictures for us, we are looking forward to our next shoot with him! Xoxo read more

I was able to get a professional photo for my portfolio from Chris, who is really easy to work with and has a great eye. He took a number of shots and I was able to work with him to pick the few that I thought were great (and I usually hate pictures of myself). I'd highly recommend him for any professional shots and would consult with him in the future for other projects! read more

Chris is the most unprofessional photographer I've ever worked with. I booked Chris over a year in advance of my event and gave him a deposit. He did not write down the date of the event and about 6 weeks before the event when I called him to touch base with him, he said he forgot about my event and already booked another one and couldn't help me. When I said he should honor the first contract that he signed, he said he wouldn't be doing that and will be doing the other event instead (I'm assuming the other event paid more, since the professional thing to do is honor the first contract you signed). Thankfully, he did refund my deposit and offered me the phone number of another photographer, however I ended finding a much more experienced photographer at a better price. read more

I'm a wedding planner and have tons of choices for a photographer, but chose Chris to shoot my family photos this year because he's so talented at everything he does. Not only is he an awesome wedding photographer, but Chris has such a fun, yet patient way of working with kids during a family photo shoot. He not only made our kids laugh, but us parents as well, and captured some amazing shots of our family through it all. We've taken a ton of photos outside for all our shoots, but this time we opted to go to his studio and even brought our dog. The studio was clean and comfortable for us. I highly recommend Christopher TODD Studios! We will continue to go to him for years to come! read more

Chris took our wedding photos over eight years ago, and he has been taking our annual family photos for the past several years. We LOVE his work. His photos are amazing, and he is responsive and professional. We recommend him to everyone we know. read more
