Justin Critz Photography
Website
I'm so stoked that you've found your way to my little corner of the inter webs. I am a wedding photographer based out of Southern California with a soft spot for intimate weddings + out of the box couples. My passion is capturing the moments, the feelings, and the person you are most passionate about (your bae).

I strive to give you the best experience as possible by making you feel comfortable in front of my camera. Trust me, I know how awkward getting your pictures taken can be (flashback to my emo high school senior portraits). You're marrying your best friend, so taking your photos should be fun, effortless and authentic.

Justin & his wife are an amazing pair! Justin stuck by us through 3 date changes due to covid and was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. He makes the whole process effortless and fun! I am in love with our both our wedding and engagement photos! Would highly recommend!

We are so lucky to have had Justin and his wife Niki be our wedding photographers! I found Justin through Instagram and knew he had to be our photographer. I could tell he is a master at his craft and I really liked how natural his photos look. I loved how Justin offers an included engagement shoot, which is super helpful to get you feeling comfortable being in front of the camera. He is so personable and really feels like an old friend--he made it so easy for us! Throughout the wedding planning process, he was always quick to respond, very thorough, and organized. I could tell he truly cared about

We could not have been happier with the photos Justin and Niki took on our wedding day. We have nothing but positive things to say, from Justin's prompt and thoughtful responses in the planning phase of our wedding to the amazing photographs on our wedding day. We really appreciate the care and attention they took during our first look photos at Griffith Observatory and how well they captured the intimacy in the photos from our small backyard zoom wedding.
We are left with photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives and that is all thanks to Justin.

My wife and I contacted Justin through a mutual aquiantance and right off the bat he was very friendly and easy to talk to. He set up a Zoom chat (during lockdown) and answered the questions we had, and he followed up in timely fashion a few weeks later. He was very flexible in accommodating our needs, applying his professionalism and creativity, and meeting our budget. He arrived early, was very organized with meeting the run of events, making sure all important aspects of the wedding were photographed, and also continuously checked with us if we wanted certain shots. The photos came out great

Justin is my favorite photographer. I was referred to him by one of my good friends and he was the perfect wedding photographer! My husband and I messaged several photographers and really liked Justin because he took the time to want to webcam (very personal) with us and get to know us and what we were looking for in a photographer. He was very professional, on time, affable, and easy to talk to even on the first meet! He wanted to know our story of how we met and was willing to work with our budget. That was a super plus!! He has won a lot of awards and yet is very humble. He truly enjoys his

We had Justin do our photos for our wedding and he was such a wonderful person to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone who’s about to get married. Especially those who use Instagram (everyone now, right?). I had originally spoken with two other photographers who unfortunately did not have our wedding date available. They offered me recommendations on other photographers and one of them recommended Justin. I really enjoyed Justin’s website and his story. He was definitely someone my Husband and I could get along with based on his bio. I contacted him and asked if he had the date available

Justin was AMAZING. Not only was he super pleasant and excited about our wedding, but he made us feel so at ease the day of! He posed us naturally and listened to what we wanted. But most importantly, the photos are AMAZING. He had sneak peeks for us the day after and every single photo that we've seen has taken my breath away. We took pictures indoors, outdoors, at sunset, during the day, at night -and each one is truly incredible. His use of light is amazing and I just loved everything about working with them. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you Justin for documenting our

Where do I even begin with how Justin made all my wedding photo dreams come true? Well, first of all I discovered his gorgeous work on Instagram and found his lovely website. I tried not to get my hopes up that he would be free for my wedding this last summer. When I reached out he was so warm and welcoming and even came to meet me and my the fiancé for coffee. He asked us about how we met and made us both feel so at ease (especially my husband who was like “people can just take pictures on their phones” OMG!)
Anyway, Justin includes a free engagement photo session with his wedding package
