I used Christine for my maternity shoot and couldn't be happier with the results. Christine is an amazing photographer and made the process so easy and fun. She is great at not only taking photos but also directing you to ensure you get the best angles, lighting and poses for the pictures. She also did a fantastic job editing the photos and providing them quickly after the shoot.

Choosing Christine as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the outset, Christine went above and beyond, providing invaluable assistance even during the planning stages. She helped us craft our initial timeline, ensuring everything flowed smoothly on our wedding day.We gravitated toward Photos by Christine Chen because of her style and how the shots in her portfolio showed more candidness and less posed shots. Her style captured the natural look more. Her pictures came out exactly how we hoped. After initial meetings, we really liked how upbeat and positive she is.Christine displayed a great amount of professionalism, from extending help past what she was hired for, to dealing with 100+ degree weather on the day of (while pregnant no less, thank you so much again for being able to make our wedding!!). Throughout our entire experience, Christine demonstrated remarkable punctuality. Whether it was meetings, delivering our photos, or providing previews, she was consistently on time, if not ahead of schedule. Her reliability made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.On top of being reliable, shes also very flexible with both scheduling and location. During our engagement shoot, we had scheduled to have the photo shoot at the Legion of Honor in SF but when we arrived, they were remodeling the outside. Christine was quick to think on her feet to provide an alternative in the Palace of Fine Arts. Although things didnt go as planned, Christine helped us make the most of it and the pictures still came out terrific. She also helped us with some photo spot recommendations throughout the greater Bay Area as well.Overall, we couldn't be happier with Christine's work. She not only met but exceeded our expectations in every way possible. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who combines artistic talent with impeccable professionalism, look no further than Christine Chen. We wholeheartedly recommend Photos by Christine Chen to anyone seeking memorable and beautiful wedding photography.

Christine was amazing with us from the very beginning. She instantly made us feel comfortable and at ease with her and she was very understanding of what we were looking for. But even beyond all of that, the day before our wedding we found out that our venue had been destroyed (crazy!) and she didn't miss a beat or make us worry whatsoever about the plans having to shift and that she would have to be shooting different locations last minute. She went way above and beyond and we are so lucky that we found her! Cannot thank her or recommend her more!

Christine is a truly gifted photographer. We were so blown away by our engagement & wedding photos that we've continued to book Christine to capture important moments in our lives: a family reunion of five generations, annual family mini-shoots, maternity photos and most recently, tiny toes in our newborn photo shoot.Our wedding photos surpassed all expectations. Christine captures the magic of the small, beautiful moments "in between" -- grandma holding her eldest daughter's hand, new brother-in-laws exchanging laughs over whiskey, the groom's sister rocking her toddler to sleep, a quiet mother+daughter hug while everyone else was on the dance floor. Her photos transport me right back to the happiest day of my life and allow me to experience the little moments I missed during the chaos of the day. She didn't just take photos of the dress, the flowers, the "I do's". She somehow captured all of the magical moments, big and small, that made that day so full of love.On top of being a master at her craft, Christine is extremely professional, communicative and provides very fast turnaround of photos. She's easy to work with and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if you're generally awkward like me!) I highly recommend Christine and look forward to continuing to work with her to capture this crazy beautiful life.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I work with all types of customers - love is love. However I find the clients who are most drawn to my work are those who enjoy laughing and being a little silly, are down for a good time, but also want someone who is a organized and proactive in their planning style.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When looking for a wedding photographer, I always recommend you pick someone who you would want to hang out with yourself. After all, this person is with you for 8+ house on one of the biggest days of your life! This will help you feel more comfortable which ultimately will show in your photos.
