After a personal meeting, I will assemble an individual wedding package that specifically addresses your wishes, needs, and ideas. As soon as I have received your signed contract and the deposit, your desired date will be firmly reserved for you. Inquiries can be submitted through https://www.chrishphotofilm.com

I am local to Southern California but travel frequently for my national and international bridal couples. Wherever I am needed and far beyond.

Travel expenses vary, depending upon different locations. The cost for traveling to and from the destination as well as possible accommodation and meals is determined on an individual basis. If you are traveling for your engagement and/or wedding, you can always discuss your ideas and requirements with me. I will be happy to create a customized package specially tailored for you.

I recommend that you always have second photographer depending on the number of guests attending your wedding day. This is the best way to be able to capture everything if you don’t want to miss out on any candid moments or special details. For example, when we are off capturing stunning bridal portraits, the second photographer can take candid pictures of your guests. Please inquire to go over more details.

This is the most asked question and I completely understand the concern of couples. The only thing that is out of their hands during the planning process is the weather. Together with you and your wedding planner, we plan for aesthetic backup locations in case it starts raining on the big day. If it does begin to rain, do not fret, rain and cloudy days ironically have the most beautiful diffused lighting. Rain adds such a beautiful and unique element to a wedding day. Remember, wet knots are the toughest to untie.

From my experience, I know that on the day of the wedding, almost everything can be adapted to a new situation. Having a backup plan helps a lot too. In essence, a few grey clouds after a rain shower can conjure up a very romantic and magical mood.

As a wedding photographer, I want to capture pictures that embody the true essence of your big day. With this being said, I never put a cap or minimum to the amount of photos you will receive. I will continue to take and deliver the best and most amount of photos that genuinely describe your day. This is the main reason why I put all of my energy, and sensitivity to create a bespoke experience for my lovely couples. Starting from discussing your requirements and plans for the main day to photography process including post-processing and special retouching – I make sure to provide you with my undivided attention.

The general rule of thumb is to expect a turnaround time of almost 12 to 16 weeks. This may vary, depending on the size and season of your wedding festivities.

We generally recommend against selecting your own music for your wedding video. While it’s understandable that personal songs hold deep sentimental meaning, they may not always fit seamlessly with the mood or storytelling of the final video. Choosing the right music is a vital part of our creative process. We rely on professionally curated royalty-free tracks and incorporate sound design elements, including moments from your wedding day, to craft a cohesive and emotional experience.

Additionally, we are unable to use popular music due to copyright laws. Using copyrighted songs without proper permissions can lead to significant legal consequences, including fines and damages. If you have a specific track in mind, securing a license from the copyright holder or an authorized agency would be necessary.
