Engagement Session Giveaway!

Chris is such a great photographer who made my girlfriend and I feel so comfortable throughout our shoot. His suggestions for poses to try always had purpose and always came out great! He was very friendly through  the whole shoot and it honestly flew by with how much fun we had. Definitely recommend other couples to get a photo shoot done by him.

Chris is AMAZING. His work is great and he’s very professional. He took couples photos for my lovely girlfriend and myself and at first I was a little hesitant because I am not very photogenic. His comfort and simple conversation made it easier for me to take the pictures and our smiles were truly genuine because of our convos. I truly appreciate what Chris has done and if you need your pictures taken, DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THIS GUY!! Thanks a million bro these are memories I’ll get to enjoy forever.

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Chris Galdamez.
During the photo session, Chris seamlessly blended into the background, capturing the most beautiful candid moments. His ability to catch these spontaneous, heartfelt shots is truly a gift. When it was time for the more formal photos, he took charge efficiently and with a keen eye for detail.
The final results were nothing short of amazing. Every picture was a work of art, filled with emotion and authenticity. I am so grateful to have these memories beautifully preserved. If you're looking for a wedding/engagement photographer who is not only talented but also easy to work with, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Galdamez. Thank you for everything Chris!

Chris provided the best photography services for our wedding! He captured just what we wanted - candid, raw, and intimate photos at our tea ceremony, regular ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only did he capture what we wanted, but he also went above and beyond by being very professional, punctual, and highly organized. The level of detail and vision Chris brought forward in his work was exceptional. We were very happy to receive our finished photos - they were absolutely stunning!

Lindsey and MJ, the quintessential romantic couple, perfectly embody the spirit of young love. From sharing notes in college to now sharing a life in sunny California, their love story is one that is straight out of a fairy tale. They met as college sweethearts and it was there, amidst the hustle of lectures and exams, that they found a unique connection with each other. Their shared dreams and ambitions became the foundation of their bond, a bond that led them to relocate to California to further their careers and build a future together.The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, popularly known as LACMA, was the chosen spot for their engagement session. It was more than just a photoshoot location for them. The museum, with its architectural beauty and cultural richness, reflected the depth and strength of their relationship. It was a symbol of their shared love for art, culture, and creativity. The engagement session was planned during the golden hour, that magical time just before sunset when everything is bathed in a warm, soft glow. The iconic lampposts of LACMA, known as the 'Urban Light' installation, added a whimsical charm to the session. The couple, hand in hand, walking through the sea of lampposts, their faces glowing in the fading sunlight, created a picture of timeless love.Lindsey and MJ made the entire session feel effortless. Their love for each other was palpable and their comfort in each other's presence was evident. They laughed, they hugged, they shared secret whispers and they looked into each other's eyes with an intensity that spoke volumes about their deep connection. They made the session not just about beautiful photographs but about celebrating their journey together.Congratulations to Lindsey and MJ as they embark on this new chapter of their life. Their engagement session at LACMA was a beautiful reminder of the power of love and the magic it can create. Here's to many more golden hours in their life together!

A Golden Hour Engagement Session at LACMA: Celebrating Lindsey & MJ

The day was beautifully planned and executed at the Los Angeles Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, a breathtaking location that served as the perfect canvas for one of the most memorable moments in a couple's life - their engagement session. The couple for this particular session were Sabrina and Max, a pair whose love story is as captivating as the setting they chose for their photoshoot. Their story came to me in an unusual way. I had announced a Free Engagement Session Giveaway, a small token of appreciation for the wonderful community that supports my passion for photography. Names were entered, and out of the many submissions, one stood out. It was not just a name, but a story, a narrative that was so compelling, so moving, that I felt compelled to award them this session. The entry came from a sister who lovingly shared the journey of Sabrina and Max, a testament of true love and commitment. Meeting Sabrina and Max, all the words written about them came to life. They were carefree, their love for each other was obvious. They were not just posing for a camera, they were sharing their love story, and I was there to capture each and every beautiful moment. Their love was raw and real, it was in their smiles, their glances, the way they held each other. Their session was filled with laughs, tender moments and a sense of ease that made the day even more special. The scenic beauty of the Los Angeles Arboretum & Botanical Gardens combined with their easy-going nature and undeniable chemistry resulted in some truly stunning photographs. It was an absolute pleasure to photograph Sabrina and Max's engagement session. Their love story moved me, their spirit inspired me, and their photos will forever serve as a testament to their love. Congratulations to Sabrina and Max on their engagement. May their journey together be as beautiful and full of love as the day we spent at the Los Angeles Arboretum & Botanical Gardens.
