Completely satisfied--the pictures tell the story of our special day.

We are so happy with the results we got from Chris Chavira I felt compelled to write this review. Going thru the pictures is reliving the wonderful day our daughter got married. Having the right photographer was so important to us. We are so glad we chose Chris-- his ability to "tell the story" in pictures makes it a joy to go thru our photos. His creative abilities resulted in candid appearing shots that actually took work to set up--but all effortlessly done by Chris. After reviewing his work, we were convinced he was the one and we have not been disappointed.

Our Newport wedding photos will be treasured by our family for the rest of our lives.

Amazing photographer!

Chris is AMAZING! We were sold on him when we saw pictures of other weddings he had done, but the images he captured of my Daughter's wedding day were more beautiful than any wedding photos I have ever seen in my life. Chris went the extra mile in making sure every moment of the evening was captured on film. He made sure every guest at the wedding was in numerous pictures and got so many pictures of the Bride and Groom with guests, which you don't normally see. It was a late afternoon wedding, which quickly turned to evening. No matter the light, each shot was perfect and done with such professionalism. Chris is wonderful to work with and...

Chris is wonderful to work with and made everything seem so effortless. He made sure the after wedding/pre-reception photos were done quickly, but exquisitely, so the Bride and Groom could get to the reception as soon as possible. His shots of the guests dancing are like nothing I have ever seen before! I highly recommend Chris for any event and will be sure to use him for anything I need in the future. Thank you, Chris! We will be forever grateful!

Chris was amazing from day one! He took time to meet us during the week late at night. My fiance and I had meetings lined up with other photographers the rest of that week. After meeting with Chris, we hired him right then and there and cancelled all other appointments we had. We knew Chris was the right photographer to handle our big day. On our wedding day, Chris was not only professional but courteous. He was excited just like everyone else that day and really made sure to capture all of our moments. Any request we had, Chris made sure to accommodate. Our wedding day seemed to have flown by rather quickly. My wife and I were both...

Any request we had, Chris made sure to accommodate. Our wedding day seemed to have flown by rather quickly. My wife and I were both excited to see how the photos turned out, since the day went by so quick we were unsure if everything was caught on camera. We received the photos from Chris soon after. Needless to say, they were great!! My wife was extremely happy and we both enjoyed going through each photo recalling every moment of our wedding. Chris has a great eye for taking photos. He is a true pro! I recommended Chris to friends and family. They have all told me that they are more than happy and satisfied with his work! Trust me when I say that Chris is the right man to hire. Thank you Chris! We will make sure to use your services again with any photo opportunities in the future!

CCimages has some amazing packages for whatever your photography needs could possibly be. Chris is an amazing photographer!! We already did our engagement shoot with him at Disneyland which was so much fun and the pictures came out absolutely beautiful. My fiance and I aren't much for being photographed but Chris had no problem making us both feel comfortable. We are getting married in Feb 2017 and I'm so excited to see how perfect Chris will capture our big day. Really I cant say enough good things about the quality and professionalism of CCimages.

My fiance and I met Chris at a wedding expo. We spoke with a couple of photographers that day, but we were very charmed by Chris in particular. He is passionate about his work and really wants to create photos that convey an emotion and a story that is reflective of each couple. We booked Chris for our engagement shoot and he made us feel comfortable the entire time. Taking photos can sometimes feel awkward...but Chris made the shoot fun and offered plenty of ideas. It was a great experience overall and we are looking forward to having Chris take our wedding photos.

Within 5 minutes of meeting Chris, we felt so comfortable! It was as if we'd known him forever. After a terrible experience with another photographer we had to let go of, we were very excited to talk with Chris. He had amazing ideas for a personal, unique engagement shoot. The first thing that drew me in was obviously his amazing pictures. But what I loved was that when I complimented how well he captured that naturally happy look, he explained how he helps create those looks; that they don't always happen so naturally when you have a camera in front of you- something my husband and I experienced with our other photographer, who's idea of capturing those beautiful natural...

The first thing that drew me in was obviously his amazing pictures. But what I loved was that when I complimented how well he captured that naturally happy look, he explained how he helps create those looks; that they don't always happen so naturally when you have a camera in front of you- something my husband and I experienced with our other photographer, who's idea of capturing those beautiful natural moments was to hide behind a tree while our direction from her was to "interact naturally". Chris and his assistant were such a pleasure to work with in both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! I was overwhelmed with the abundance of images we received back from both events and all were stunning. He exceeded my expectation and helped us all feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. He has great pose ideas, gives lots of direction when needed, makes you laugh, and has a contagious enthusiasm.
My only recommendation to Chris is to get more of your images up on social media / blog for all brides to see! Your work is amazing and the best way to share that with brides-to-be is to post them!

Dear Chris Chivira of CCImages,
I personally want to thank you for photographing Lisa and Pete’s wedding on April 20, 2012 aboard the Queen Mary of Long Beach. You were part of its success and I truly enjoyed watching how you took your time, added care to get the right angle, making sure the lighting, background and poses were just right. I knew then, we picked the right photographer!
If you could send me some more of your business cards, I will definitely do my best to advertise your brilliant photography and be happy to hand them out to people I know who are looking for a photographer. Thank you, once again.
Helenne Asebez, Mother of the Bride
Asebez/Linneman Wedding, April 20, 2012, aboard the RMS Queen Mary of Long Beach

Chris and his team were amazing! They were excited, involved, inspired, and artistic the ENTIRE day! Chris made me feel like a rock star; a Hollywood glam/silver screen Diva; an Indie girl. At no time was he in the way, and at no time did he miss any important moment. I was glad that he brought an assistant (I HIGHLY recommend this option) because it wasn't until receiving the pictures did I see what the Guy's Side was like! Chris is awesome! Not only did he capture the beauty of our venue, he captured second-by-second moments of love, happiness, and joy in all our guests! I can't stop looking at the pictures and smiling. Chris has a real gift...

I highly recommend him as a wedding and any-other-event photographer. You will not be let down! -Katie & Tony, Malibu

CC photography was fabulous at our wedding. We had a small and very intimate wedding which was beautifully captured. I had seen Chris's portfolio about 2 years before I started planing my wedding and fell in love with the images and stories captured. After looking at dozens of other photographer's portfolios and websites, I finally found his contact information and knew my finacee would love his portfolio too.

They capture the theme of our wedding, our personalities and are great for sharing. We recommend CC photography highly and can assure you of excellent quality, timely prints, professionalism and simply a great photographer.

Chris was AWESOME! We are waiting to get our wedding pictures but he did a FANTASTIC job with our engagement shot. Every single one of my family members is asking me when we'll be the professional pictures. He is a VERY creative photographer.

Chris has an excellent eye for capturing those special moments. He works REALLY hard the ENTIRE time! He handled our large families (we did extended family pictures) and rowdy, yet fun loving wedding party perfectly.

Chris also provided a photo fashion booth for our guests at an excellent price! Again, the guests LOVED it!!

My husband and I had Chris as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier. We did our engagement shoot with him at Huntington Beach with a 1940's Hollywood theme and our photos turned out to be incredible. He is so creative, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the shoot was a blast. We used these pictures in a sign in book at our wedding and our guests kept complimenting the book, most people had never seen anything like it. The day of the wedding, I felt like I had nothing to worry about with Chris as our photographer, I knew he would capture all of the moments and we have so many pictures to show...

He really listens to what you want out of your pictures and makes sure that you not only capture the day but have fun doing it. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a talented photographer and a great person to work with.

My husband and I had Ccimages cover both our engagement shoot and our wedding.

We had our shoot at a cute little park in Huntington Beach and it was so much fun! Chris was awesome. We felt so comfortable and we had a great time. Another great thing was that we had just met him that very day too, but felt like we had known him for a while. That's when you know you have a good connection with someone and that's when we knew that we wanted him to photograph our special day.

We got married on January 25, 2014 and Chris was wonderful. He was on time, he was fun, and he had so many amazing ideas for all the photos. I loved how he wasn't just taking your typical wedding portraits, but he put an artistic spin on each photo.

My husband and I are so pleased with the photos that we have received so far. We will be receiving the rest in the mail very soon!

I definitely recommend Ccimages for any of your photography needs. They do a great job and the photos really do show it. :)

Oh and I cannot forget to mention is partner Vaugn, he was great! He photographed the guys getting ready and ran the photo booth! (which was a huge hit! ) definitely would relive this night with these guys again!

Chris was really great. We looked around in the LA area and interviewed a number of other photographers. Chris was both better priced and offered better quality than the other photographers we spoke to. Chris was extremely easy to work with and it was wonderful that he provided us with a disk of the raw images. My father in law used that as the basis for a wedding album that would have cost (based on estimates provided by other photographers) about $700. Chris has both style and he's a fun person to have around. I've recommended him to a couple of other friends who have used him for their weddings. We love his work - both the traditional posed as well as the candid shots he captured.

Chris Chavira was our wedding photographer in November 2006 and we feel he really captured the moment. His mix of color as well as black & white photos added depth to the portfolio. Chris is very professional and made the process feel effortless. He was recommended by a very good friend and I would be happy to recommend him to others.

Update. Hires Chris for my mom’s mother’s day picture great job, hired Chris for my engagement photo great job. Now here come my wedding. OMG. With my package it included my engagement photos that we were going to use at as my sign in book for guest. My photos were were ready 2 months before my wedding. About 4 weeks before my wedding my wedding planned asked about the sign in book. We got in contact with Chris and I picked out the photos he said it was a week turn around and he would be out of town for a week no worries. I approved which photos I wanted.

About 4 weeks before my wedding my wedding planned asked about the sign in book. We got in contact with Chris and I picked out the photos he said it was a week turn around and he would be out of town for a week no worries. I approved which photos I wanted. The week of my wedding they still were here. My wedding planner called for him to fix it. Chris and my wedding planner got into it. Mind you my wedding planner deals with celebrities, so she knows how to handle business. Chris got upset and sent me a email the day before my wedding saying he would not work with her and called my husband as well. Chris stated he only deals with the bride. I left this issue up to my planner because that is her job to handle the vendors.

The day of my wedding is here and I’m just got married and taking pictures. Chris told me get all my family together and said where are your grandparents I was like they aren’t here. And after going back in forth with him, I’m like their are dead. Dude.

We take the picture my wedding planner asked do you have a time for me so the bride and groom can do a first look in the reception? He got mad with her again. I said to him Chris that was pretty aggressive.

We are now caking the cake and since the cake was fake it was a side we needed to cut on. Omg and once again. He got into it was my wedding planner. She kept her cool the whole time. I even had the venue attention speak on his behavior.

After the wedding Chris and my mom had a agreement about seeing the photos first. No problem. And we still needed to do the final payment. No worries he text me while on my honeymoon and I told I will speak with my mom when I get back. I text him every-time he text me. And the ONE time I missed his text because I was at work, which was about another week. I received a nasty message saying I’m going to TRASH ALL YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS. Wait what. Since my parents paid for my wedding my mom stepped in. And OMG Chris was talking crazy to my mother. After a few month. He finally got paid; only for him to block me when I wanted to ask a question about my package. I mean I’m still the client.

Honestly he does beautiful work but his attitude! He was very difficult. Mind you I saw him back in 2014 and was soo impressed by his work and him and hired him for other work and never saw that coming with my wedding in 2017. And I had more work for him afterwards because people asked do you know a photographer yup but NOT him.
