Chris Schmitt Photography
Chris Schmitt Photography is a Boutique Wedding Photography Studio based in Los Angeles CA. Chris and his wife Andrea opened Chris Schmitt Photography Studio in 2001. Chris Schmitt is an international wedding and portrait photographer based in Moorpark California. His images have been published in media outlets such as the Today Show, OWN Network, Good Morning America, Los Angeles Magazine, Instyle Magazine, Destination Wedding Magazine, The Knot, Brides Magazine, Ceremony Magazine, J-Date, SELF MAGAZINE, Grace Ormonde, California Wedding Day Magazine and dozens of wedding blogs and websites. He has also been featured on the Wedding Reality T.V Show, For Better or for Worse on TLC. Last year, the studio celebrated photographing their 800th wedding!
Before photographing weddings, Chris had the incredible experience of working with legendary celebrity and commercial photographers including Annie Leibowitz, David la Chapelle, Bruce Weber, Matthew Rolston, Peggy Sirota and many others who all encouraged him to pursue his own photography career. Those years of working with the masters inspired him to bring a sense of style, fashion, elegance and fun to his wedding portraits. When asked why he became a wedding photographer, the answer was simple... "It's the most rewarding responsibility and an honor documenting one of the most special days of a couple's life."
Our style is a vibrant blend of Modern Elegance and Cinematic storytelling. Our pictures pack a punch and we know how to use lighting (in any circumstance) to make everyone look their best. On any given wedding day we see it all...from laughter to tears to joy and romance. We strive to both blend into the scene as photojournalists to capture these candid moments and also be able to step in when needed to direct and document important times like family portraits. We also love to create unique portraits of our couples and are always there to help with posing and tips to ensure they look amazing!
Our passion for photographing weddings has taken us around the world documenting one of the most special days in a couple's life and we feel honored to be chosen for this. We truly love what we do for a living!
When Chris and Andrea are not taking pictures, you can often find them hanging out with their two kids Sawyer and Siena. "We are big kids ourselves and we believe in a good balance of working hard to play hard. We are excited to be celebrating our 19th year anniversary this year! We're so thrilled to have just won the 2021 Couple's Choice Award for the 11th year in a row naming us in the top 5% of all Wedding Photography Studios nationwide!
