My name is Christian Kaysen and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Southern California and available for travel. I am so grateful to do what I love while meeting amazing people and documenting such an important day in their lives. I see each wedding as an opportunity to tell a story through photographs, while striving to create authentic, organic images that will stand the test of time.
Over the last 15 years, my approach to photography has become fluid and relaxed, letting each unique story develop. If you are looking for someone to do just that, I would love to connect with you. You can find my work featured on Inspired by This, Carats & Cake, Expertise, Wedding Chicks, and Southern California Bride.

Christian has such an eye for color and nailing the perfect scenery for photos. Our wedding photos could not have been more perfect, I love them more and more every time I look at them. Christian captured the colors, textures and contrasts so amazingly and I couldn't have imagined our wedding photos to come out more perfect. On top of that Christian is just such a kind, easy going guy you couldn't ask for more to be surrounded by such a calming personality during what is usually such a stressful day. Christian, thank you for making our day so special and easy and even more so for giving

I meant it when I told my husband during our wedding that we were never doing this again. However, if I could go back in time and had to plan from scratch, I'd choose Christian and his team again in a heartbeat.
Christian was super professional during both our engagement session and subsequent wedding. It rained during our wedding and he handled it like a pro. Not only did we have a call earlier in the week to discuss steps I'd need to take in order to ensure everything went smoothly, but he also took time to communicate with my other vendors and consider how we might rearrange our

Choosing your photography I think is the most stressful and biggest decision besides your dress and venue. We never met Christian until the day of and he had never done a wedding at our venue before. He was AWESOME! He came a little early to scout out areas and get a feel for the area himself which was so amazing. He was super patient and he was a calming presence amidst chaos. He made sure we got the photos we wanted yet was unobtrusive during all other elements of the wedding. We just received teasers from him and they are gorgeous - the lighting, poses, and editing is incredible. I'm so

We absolutely loved having Christian as our photographer for our wedding day! His personality and kindness shown through from the very first Skype meeting, and we instantly knew that we wanted him to capture our day.
Planning a wedding from out of state, one of the biggest priorities for me was communication, and Christian did not disappoint! He was easy to talk to and always swift to answer the multitude of questions that I had -- even if it didn't have anything to do with photography! He was helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process, even working with our hectic schedules

I cannot sing Christian's praises enough! My husband and I are SO glad that we chose him to capture our wedding day. From the first time we met him, we instantly connected and knew that he totally understood the kinds of photos that we wanted. My husband and I are not often in front of a camera, but he made us feel so comfortable and the whole experience was so much more fun because of how seamlessly he works. He does a phenomenal job capturing intimate moments and got so many great shots of the details, family members, guests, and bridal party on the day of.
Christian is also really generous

We are SOO happy we had Christian do our engagement photos, and we can't wait to have him photograph our wedding! He is a very talented photographer, so kind and professional. We love every single one of the photos he shot.... We will treasure them and the moments that he captured forever. I highly recommend Kaysen Photography. Go with him, you won't be disappointed.

We are so glad that we chose Christian to shoot our wedding. It's the biggest day of your life and you hope your photographer can truly capture all the sweet moments from that day. I had given him a photo list of shots we would like, as a guide, but to my surprise, he had it with him the day of the wedding and made sure that he was getting the photos we had requested.
Christian is very communicative. He always responded to my calls/emails the same day and was always willing to spend a little extra time discussing timelines and other specifics. His turn around time is great compared to other

My (now) husband and I did a lot of research to find our photographer (as I'm sure most couples do :) We wanted to find someone who was skilled & professional, reasonably priced, with an eye for the artsy shots :), and also the ability to recognize & capture those subtle but meaningful moments and interactions...and if we could get all that, along with a pleasant personality, we were going to be thrilled :) And we found all that in Christian! You could not find a kinder, more accommodating person to work with. Christian's warm & positive presence felt supportive &

I have used this company a few times and I could not have been more pleased. The photos were gorgeous! The photographer, Christian, was so nice and professional. He has such a unique style and truly has an "eye" for taking pictures. He is patient and takes his time to get just the right shot. I would use his services again in a minute. I recommend him to all my friends for their events. It's nice to have found a great photographer I can just call.

Christian has been our family photographer through the years and has captured the true essence of our family. With style and grace he has worked around the individual needs of each one of my children. Through graduations,engagements, weddings, and pregnancy photos he has just about covered all the most important events of my family. Christian is the hardest working photographer in the Orange County area and has a work ethic that surpasses all others. Christian is more than a photographer he is an artist. All the photos he has taken of our family are works of art that will be treasured for years

Christian has a great way of making groups or individuals feel comfortable in front of the camera. It's incredible how he was able to capture the emotion and feeling of each moment. I was especially taken back by the way he captured those who were camera shy. They were caught with so much life in their faces! He has taken some of my most treasured photos ever.
He is extremely professional in his communication and organization. Compared to other photographers I've looked into, his prices are far less expensive for the quality of work he does. Not only does he take beautiful shots, but

I have 3 children and have had Christmas photos taken every year for the past 18 years by many different photographers. This year Kaysen Photography took our photos and I am thrilled with the results.
It is never easy to get a good shot with everyone looking in the right place & giving a REAL smile all at the same time. Christian & his assistant put us all at such ease and made the atmosphere so fun that we had countless great photos to choose from.
The results were so good, we had him take my son's "Senior Photos" and had him shoot photos of our extended family as a whole
