We had the pleasure of using Chris for our November 2021 wedding after he did my sisters wedding about 12 years ago. We couldn't of been happier with all of our wedding photos, as well as our engagement photos. Chris is a top notch photographer and really knows how to work with his subjects. Everyone at my wedding kept raving about how great he was, and our pictures definitely prove it.
He was very easy to connect with when we first reached out in 2020 when we made our initial call to book him. He helped us with engagement photo location recommendations and was always responsive to messages

Christopher did our wedding photos 10 years ago (!) and when I needed professional headshots recently I was so excited to learn that he could do these too. We had been drawn to his work because his photos always capture personality and emotion. He’s a total professional and expert, and the product is always high quality. I highly recommend Christopher to capture any important moment in your life!

Chris replied back right away to my phone enquiry about his photography services for a professional head shot. He was very clear about his price, which I felt was very reasonable. I was able to get an appointment within a few days and he was ready for the photo shoot when I arrived at the appointed time. I am NOT a photogenic person, but he gave me excellent instructions for posing and I was comfortable throughout the whole process. Of course, none of these things would have mattered if the photos didn’t turn out well, but they were truly amazing! Somehow he found a way to show me at my best

If you want a photographer who's responsive, flexible with time, and extremely talented, Chris is the person you want. We were so pleased with his professional, friendly demeanor, and how he made the process fun for two camera-nervous people. The pictures came back to us quickly, and the quality is incredible! Would definitely work with him again.

Chris made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot. I hate having my photo taken but Chris was patient. He is friendly and very professional. I ended up loving my photos! His creative eye combined different backgrounds with a few outfits I brought. The end result was like having three photo shoots in one! Highly recommend!

Christopher Todd Studios was recommended to us by the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach. Last month, our company held our 35th Anniversary Event for about 200 people and we used Chris Todd Studios as our photographer for the group photo. From the get-go, Chris was very responsible to my many questions and provided great suggestions in terms of location, placement, etc. He was very professional and considerate of our time. We allotted only 30 minutes for the photograph session for almost 200 people. Chris coordinated and placed everyone perfectly for the photo within 20 minutes! We asked him

We went through tons of photographer options for our wedding and Chris was a stand out from the start! His website, life and energy in his photos, and professional and quick responses to our many questions made him one of our favorite vendors to work with. He even memorized our family members names so that on our wedding day they were all relating like old friends. We added last minute events and he made it all happen for us, he made everything so easy. Super cool guy. Phenomenal photography - our engagement and wedding photos are amazing. Excellent value. Highly recommend working with this industry

Christopher was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I had a low key marriage ceremony at the Old Orange County Courthouse with our parents and none of us enjoy taking photos. However, Christopher was able to get us smiling and laughing, making an awkward situation a very pleasant one. He was very sociable and easy going and I highly recommend him. :)

WOW! Where to start...
Simply, Chris is the best you can get. We are blown away with the quality of the photos even before he is going to edit them for the wedding album. The guests that have commented on our photos have said that this is the best photographer that they have seen. We were spoiled with Chris and his day of assistant, Michael.
From the portraits, to the details, to the more artistic shots, and to the most important precious moments that we now have a chance to keep with us for the rest of our lives.
His lens had the views and the angles that captured the spirit and the emotion

My husband and I used Christopher Todd Studios for our wedding this summer in Palos Verdes. We could not have been happier in our interactions with Christopher through the whole process or the outstanding results. He was thoughtful, responsive, well priced for his caliber and quality of service, and we loved the results. He got to know us, our preferences, our style, and was a seamless part of our wedding day. He was recommend to us by one of our venues and we're so incredibly grateful we worked with him. His stunning engagement and wedding photos will be in our home for many years to

Christopher Todd honestly made my wedding and engagement photo dreams come true. I did a lot of research (and I mean a LOT) when it came to my photographer for the wedding. In my opinion, this is the most important area that you don't want to end the day and say, was I able to capture every moment? You want to end the day and say, wow, my photographer was everywhere and was always there to catch the moments I want to remember. There were several reasons I went with Christopher including the fact that 1. He would be your photographer, not some company that send out other photographers they

My husband and I chose Chris to be our wedding photographer. He was so much fun to work with and the photos are amazing!!! He captured every moment from start to finish. He has a great eye and scouted out some amazing locations for shots. I am very picky when it comes to photographers, and I could not be happier with my photos. 5 stars all the way!!!!! We will definitely be using Chris again for more family shoots!

Chris is an absolute professional! From our first meeting with him, my husband and I knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding day. We had a super fun engagement shoot with him and his wife, where we became better acquainted and had lots of fun in his beautiful studio. Chris is a great communicator and was always readily available by phone and email to answer any questions we had during our engagement.
Chris and his lovely assistant, Ariel arrived at my hotel on our wedding day and hit the ground running. They worked their tails off all day and were really welcoming of any last minute photos

From our initial visit with Chris, through our wedding, and now putting together our wedding book, picking Christopher Todd was one of the best wedding decisions we made!
Talking to him is like talking to a friend, yet he's professional and is truly an expert photographer. He knew every part of the hotel where we got married, down to which areas got the best lighting at exactly what time. He had our whole picture schedule mapped out for us and his team easily herded our massive wedding party (10 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, 4 flower girls, 3 ring bearers) through the hotel property.
