My family and I have worked with Curtis three times over the last couple of years. Twice for graduation photos and once for my wedding. He is extremely pleasant and easy to work with. To say he does good work is an understatement. To put it simply, his work is stunning. His prices are always reasonable, especially for the quality and service you will receive. He returns your photos promptly, he is easy to contact and quick to respond. During the shoot, he is great at giving directions and makes you feel very comfortable. He has a skilled eye and works quickly and efficiently. After working with him twice in the past, I did not hesitate to hire him for my wedding - that mere fact is one of the highest compliments I can offer. As someone who planned a wedding without a coordinator, I am happy to say he was one of the easiest vendors I worked with. In addition, I don't think this man sat down once during my wedding. He worked even through our downtime, snapping photos of the guestbook and reception area. His photos were given back to us promptly (most on the same day!) and are so stunning that most of them did not need him to do editing at all. On the few we did ask him to edit, he returned to us within a week. My family and I have nothing but praises for Curtis and his work. We have hired him several times and will continue to use him for events in the future. read more

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Curtis as he was the photographer we contracted for our wedding. From the moment we first me he instantly made us feel so comfortable and easy throughout the entire day. I'm usually not the type that likes her picture taken and I knew this day I was going to be going way outside my comfort zone knowing my photos would be taken all day. But something about Curtis made me feel comfortable and easy about the whole process. And the finished product truly says it all. I highly recommend Curtis. He is extremely professional and timely. He captured amazing moments and never once saw him in the way, he's like a ninja photographer lol. But seriously, he's great. We LOVE our photos. We are one-thousand percent satisfied. Thank you Curtis!! read more

It is sad when a business cannot take accountability and continues to believe their are justified in keeping money that they never earned. Not a single photo was taken, not a single location was scouted. I literally handed over my money and nothing was given in exchange. When someone thinks they can keep your money and provide ZERO services, that is not a business I would recommend to anyone. read more

Curtis did our engagement and wedding photos. Curtis did a great job capturing our precious moments. We knew from our engagement photos that he was the right choice. His photography skills were impressive. He directed as on what to do and made us comfortable during the process. It was also easy to communicate with Curtis. He had another photographer whose name was Ludwig. He also did a great job and knew how to capture those candid and special moments. He was also a pleasure to work with. We got our u edited photos the day off on both events which was awesome, because we did not have to wait to see how our photos turned out. Thank you so much to Enchanted Portraiture! Highly Recommended! read more

Amazing Photographer who has an eye for his craft. He captured the perfect shot of my husband when I came out in my wedding dress. The look on my husbands face at that exact moment is permanently stored in my memory and brings a tear to my eye just thinking read more

It was pleasure working with Curtis. He did both my engagement and wedding photos. Everything came out perfect and so natural! The day of the wedding there was a very bad storm but even then Curtis was able to capture the most amazing photos! read more

Enchanted Portraiture - Martha & Stevens Wedding - Event Photography Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Normally I don't look forward to taking photographs. The process seems long, boring, and a bunch of moving around for poses the photographer is experimenting with. That was until I met Curtis. As a person who has an interest in photography myself, I found Curtis to be a consummate professional. He really knew his craft. The best photographers for weddings, family events, etc are the ones that do their homework. They know the poses, they know the lay of the land, and they know the light. Curtis arrived early, scouted out the place, and had everything down pat when it was game time. There was no hesitation, no wasted time. He knew where he wanted us to stand, he knew how he wanted us to stand, and he knew what the light would do in order to capture those classic pictures that everyone wants to get, but rarely does. In summary he knew exactly how to give us what we wanted. That's what I expect when I pay a professional, and it's rare to get it. But with Curtis I got exactly what I paid for and I could not be happier. Aside from superb photography, there is also the customer service side of things that can't be understated. In this regard Curtis excelled. We had a few unfortunate events take place that were in addition to the disaster that was COVID-19. We had to reschedule not once, but twice. Each time he was accommodating, never made us feel bad about it, and treated us as if it was his pleasure to do it. I don't usually write things like this but I felt compelled to do so because we had such a great experience. I've come to find that planning weddings are extremely stressful. And trying to find the right person to capture it all is of extreme importance. Curtis has done 4 additional weddings of people I personally know and now I understand why. I can say from personal experience that choosing Curtis was one of the best decisions I made regarding the wedding. I would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation and I will certainly be using his services in the future for family and baby pictures. read more

Curtis did an awesome job for my new bride and I at The Mission Inn in Riverside. I didn't get to see his work beforehand, but was absolutely flabbergasted at the DVD he had already put together before the reception was even over. My wife wanted some late-evening shots and Curtis was happy to oblige, even letting her set up a shot she wanted in author's row with the parapets lined up. Once he saw how it turned out, he said he'd never thought of shooting from that angle and wouldn't hesitate to suggest it for future events there. Due to the small group of guests and family, he also was able to take pictures of whole families at our request (minus the wedding party), given that it's extremely rare that any of us get together in the first place. I think we only had about 2-3% out of the hundreds of pictures that were unusable (blurry, mistimed, etc..) which was great. We asked for everything and we got it. Soapbox: I will tell you that, even though it's not Curtis' fault, looking back through the other pictures of weddings at Mission Inn, there's not a whole lot of variety due to only so many places to take pictures. Of course, being a man, I noticed this right off. So, ladies, save yourself the trouble of not looking through the other wedding pictures and thinking it's not going to be special and JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOUR OWN HAPPINESS - starting with hiring Enchanted Portraiture to take your pictures. You'll be happy with them just as everyone else seems to be! read more

Point blank, Curtis from this company is GREAT! When I was planning my wedding, I went to a venue where you had to use pre-approved vendors of the venues list. Enchanted Portraiture was one of those pre-approved vendors. I was not happy about being forced to choose between a few people and not having the option to go and look for my own photographer. Well that silly rule actually worked out for me this time. I can't say it did with the cake I ordered, but that's a different review. Curtis was our photographer and not only did we love his work, our guest loved him as well. He is fast, he knows what he is doing, he is friendly and cares about his work. He went the extra mile to make sure we were happy and didn't talk down to us at any time. I can truly say if I need to hire a photographer, Curtis is going to be my go to guy in the future and I highly recommend him. I can't speak for the other photographers, but if they are even half as friendly, and professional as Curtis then you will still be in good shape. read more

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words..but that wasn't the case with these guys. The photos that they took literally made my wife and I speechless. We used Enchanted Portraiture to photograph our wedding at Padua Hills Theatre, and they went above my expectations and did an outstanding job. I can't even begin to say how grateful I am. The entire process went very smoothly for us, which was a big worry since we were planning our wedding from over 300 miles away. They kept in good communication with us, and were very responsive to our ideas and suggestions. I highly recommend these guys for any event. Very professional and geniunely nice people that were fun to be around. Note, that you'll need to call to schedule an appointment to meet with them. No walk-ins. read more

Curtis is amazing. He knows what he is doing. The photos came out gorgeous. Extremely professional. Great pricing. Extremely nice and personable. read more

Curtis did such a wonderful job on our wedding pictures. He was very professional and we could tell immediately that he had tons of experience. We decided to use him because he came highly recommended by our coordinators from the Padua Theatre. His pictures truly captured the emotion and beautiful environment of Padua. Our guests were really surprised to already see all the wedding pictures playing throughout dinner. The quality of his work is exceptional and would highly recommend him. read more

My husband and I recently got married at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa. As we were halfway into our search for the perfect photographer we met Curtis and our search ended! His reasonable prices is what drew us in....but after our wedding day, I can surely say that his work is what made us love him even more. He was AMAZING and that the quality of his work along with his personality and ability to capture our wedding moments is what will make me recommend Enchanted Portriture to anyone looking for a great photographer. 'Till this day, we are still getting compliments on the quality of his work! The pictures were amazing! We were in awe at all the moments he was able to capture on camera! I definitly recommend Enchanted Portraiture to anyone looking for top a the line photographer with reasonable prices!! read more

We had Curtis shoot out engagement photos, and knew at that moment that we had to book him for our wedding too! We got our pictures on the day of the engagement shoot as well as on the wedding, and even as unedited photos they are amazing!! Curtis is so professional and patient. A truly amazing photographer! A huge thank you for captured our special day! read more

Loved loved loved all the photos! From start to finish! Such a great gift for the parents to get a slide show of our big day on the spot! So professional and he captured every moment with all my family members. Thank you Curtis! read more

I couldn't have imagined anyone else photographing our wedding day! Curtis was professional, personable, and made taking our wedding photos fun. He provided excellent verbal cues that helped my husband and I feel (and look) less awkward in all of our photos. About half way through our reception I walked in and was told "I was missing it!" having no idea what I could possibly be missing, as I had planned our entire wedding, I was surprised to turn around and see photos from our wedding being projected on a slideshow! Our guests absolutely loved this, because guests rarely get to see all of the wedding photos. The matriarchs of our families were given a USB drive with the slideshow, and we were given a USB drive with ALL of our photos the night of. My only regret was not booking Curtis to do our engagement photos too! Thank you Curtis for capturing our Wedding! read more

We had Curtis shoot both of our engagement photos and our wedding photos and he did a fantastic job! All the photographs came out absolutely beautiful. Also he was able to give us a slideshow of all the events that day that played during the wedding reception so everyone could enjoy that. Absolutely gorgeous job. Thank you Curtis! read more

Curtis took the pictures for our wedding and they were absolutely breathtaking. Our wedding was at the Mission Inn in Riverside and he knew that place so well... He knew exactly where to place us to make the pictures look incredible. Everyone who has seen the pictures was absolutely stunned. He made our day so incredibly special and he also took our engagement pictures which were beautiful. We are so happy to have such beautiful memories to look back on from that day. read more

Enchanted Portraiture (Curtis) did an amazing job for our wedding (Martha and I) at the mission inn. Very professional, very likable, takes control, well prepared, even had a safety pin on hand to fix the button on my jacket- HE IS THE BEST!!! Gave us the photos that same night on a disc. If it's an event that matters, call Curtis. You will not be disappointed. Stand up guy and the best photographer I've ever met. read more

Curtis knocked it out of the park with my wedding photos in October at Padua Hills Theatre. I do not say this lightly. I worked as a sales manager in the professional photography industry for over ten years. I wanted my photographer to have fun at my wedding and not work. I did some research and found Curtis. I was not disappointed. His work is fantastic. If you are getting married at Padua or anywhere in the area I high suggest him. read more

For my wedding I spoke with a LOT of photographers. A LOT (I can't emphasize that enough), but from the moment I spoke with Curtis I knew he would be the one to do our wedding. He is super professional and he was willing to answer any questions I had throughout the planning process. I was a bit of an anxious bride since I was getting married in CA, but living and planning my wedding in VA, and I only made it out to CA once in the middle of the planning to meet with him, but he was super accessible through both email and phone from the day we first spoke until the wedding. For the wedding, he arrived very promptly and started taking pictures of the pre-wedding stuff, and he knows how to capture those precious and candid moments. He caught priceless photos of my family and I, my husband and I seeing each other for the first time that day, the emotions shared between friends, family, etc. From the moment he arrived on the wedding day to the moment he left later that night when things were winding down at the reception, people kept remarking on how he was zipping around and taking tons of pictures and how impressed they were with everything he was doing, especially the slide show he set up at the reception for people to see. All in all, we wound up with 1600 pictures at the end of the night, which he was able to move to an external hard drive for us before he left. Overall, Curtis was amazing. He kept my wedding stress free because I knew I could trust him to photographically document one of the most important days of my life. I loved his work so much that I am even considering taking my dress back to CA to shoot a "trash the dress" thing with him. I highly recommend him for all of his work and for shooting the precious pictures that I will be able to reflect on for the rest of my life. read more

I don't even know where to start. I rarely leave reviews unless they are well deserved and well Curtis deserves an awesome review. If I could give him a million stars I would. He shot our wedding on June 22, 2013. He came highly recommended by a cousin who had seen his work through other weddings he had done so my fiancé and I decided to meet with him. My fiancé is a very hard person to please but from the beginning he really liked Curtis and we booked him. We were budgeting a lot with this wedding since we had just bought a house but I loved that he gave us options to add later if we wanted to. We first did out engagement setting with him and he invited our girls to come along also and threw in some family shots. We were completely blown away by his pictures already and the fact that he's so fast. Now when the wedding day came he was so patient and understanding especially since we were crunched for time. Even our guest loved him and asked me to save his info (which I have on speed dial). He was so patient with me pulling him in a million directions for my "just one more picture". Before the reception was over he was playing a DVD he had made at the wedding table and gave us a copy of it. He also did some blue sky pictures that are just absolutely amazing. When we finally had a chance to see the DVD he had my husband, our girls and myself in tears!!!! His pictures are just absolutely AMAZING!! He captured every special moment and the pics far surpassed my expectations!!! I can't stop watching the video. He even captured my maid of honor sliding across the dance floor to catch the bouquet!! Like I said he deserves a lot more stars than 5. An Amazingly and incredibly talented photographer !!! Words can't express how happy me and my fiancé are with him and his work. -one very happy bride :) read more

Curtis was amazing! He captured every moment of our wedding day! The pictures are absolutely beautiful! He was quick, professional, and a super nice guy. He provided the slideshow of pictures at our wedding for our guests to see, and not only gave my husband and I, and our parents a copy but my nana also who was visiting from Scotland, so she could show her friends back home! His timing was perfect and we never seemed rushed, long story short, I highly recommend Curtis and enchanted portraiture to be your go to photographer for every occasion, especially your wedding! Our pictures will last a life time and I'm so happy with them! read more

Curtis was the photographer for our March 2011 wedding at the Lindley-Scott House in Azusa. He is not only an amazing photographer, but a wonderful person to work with. We stumbled upon Curtis one afternoon while looking for DJs and I thank God we did. He was willing to work with us on a flexible wedding photography package and made us feel comfortable during our engagement session and on our big day. The whole bridal party had a great time working with Curtis. Many of our wedding day stories include Curtis because he was especially good at keeping my groom calm, and I can't thank him enough for that. His ability to "see" great shots and snap them without you even knowing still amazes me as I look through my photographs. The photo slide show he put together for our reception was raved about by our guests. I was looking for a photographer to capture the true spirit of our day and he did an awesome job of that. I look forward to working with him again when the need for a photographer arises in the future. If you are looking for a photographer, YOU NEED TO CHECK HIM OUT! read more

We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding. I can not say enough good things about Curtis with Enchanted Portraiture. He was professional, engaging, and knew how to put people at ease. As for the photos, they are the best I have ever seen. We can not stop looking at the pictures. He is extremely artistic and managed to capture the true emotion of the moments. He also took all the classic shots for us to cherish for a lifetime. He exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend Curtis for any event. He is top notch! read more

Wow, this guy Curtis is top notch. He was calm cool and collected through all the craziness of a big family. Our wedding photos were beautiful. It is really hard to get 8 kids all looking at the camera at once and he did. Love my pics and so happy I chose him! read more

One of the reasons why I chose the Padua Hills Theater for my daughter's wedding is because they have the very best vendors on site. Curtis, the lead photographer from Enchanted Portrait, is as skilled and professional as they come. To capture a milestone from the best is the only way to go. There is no room for mediocrity. He most definitely has an artistic eye for capturing the special moments and for creating a magical story of a couple in love. Look no further. Curtis is the very finest in the business! Heads down! read more

We cannot say enough of how awesome our pictures turned out. Curtis you do a fantastic job. You didn't miss a beat. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable. The talk of the town with everyone! Curtis - Enchanted Portraiture, how does one tell you your photos of our engagement and wedding are fantastic. You didn't miss anything. It is so difficult picking out our special pictures. You did such a wonderful job, made us look really good! The blue light was unbelievable. We recommended you highly. We would highly recommend Enchanted Portraiture, for any occasions especially a wedding. People are still coming up to us and saying how spectacular our wedding was. Highly recommend: Padua Hills, Chantrelles Catering, Enchanted Portraiture, Entertainment Express, Carol's Secret Garden, read more

Curtis is amazing. He shot 2 weddings for us here in California, and we were beyond happy. So much so, that when my other daughter got married in Omaha, we flew him out to shoot that wedding, too. He is professional, kind, personable, and captures shots that make you feel the emotions all over again. I can't say enough about Curtis. He is the very best. Colleen read more

Andrija was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy we got her! I don't know why there aren't more reviews about her on here because she does lots of weddings like Curtis. Anyways her service was as best as can be! She set up an appointment to get to know us and knew right away what kind of pictures she was going to take. She learned my husband was more into lighting and I was more into small detail- I didn't even realize that! We had a location to take pictures but because of the lighting my husband wanted, she did her research and found a perfect place for us! The pictures came out amazingly beautiful!!! She sent us a sneak peak of our pictures through email during our honeymoon and I cried because they're everything I wanted! She was so professional and ready for anything on the day of the wedding. SHE LOVES TAKING PICTURES! She said, "Your mom is crazy in love about pictures! I love it!!!" Haha Not once did I see her just hanging out and I had her since 9AM-11PM! She took about 2,000 pictures!! There were many things that went wrong on our wedding day but she captured the day as if it was perfect. I have no regrets on celebrating the way we did because I have the best wedding pictures I've always dreamed of!!! We also worked with Curtis and WOW he's work is fantastic! They both take amazing pictures but add their touch. I think Andrija puts more of the romantic touch and Curtis puts more of the fun touch. You can't go wrong with Andrija or Curtis!!! We defiantly had both of best worlds! THANK YOU ANDRIJA and Curtis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Curtis is an exceptional photographer and a very nice guy. He was very professional and patient with us throughout our wedding and engagement photos and left us with an exceptional packet of wonderful photographs. His style and execution are top notch. One of the best things for me was how easy going and kind he was; it was a big relief while enduring the stressful schedule of our wedding day. I wish him all the best and encourage others to use him as your photographer for important events. You will not be disappointed. read more

If I could give Curtis a 6th Star I would ask for a 7th; from the minute we met him we knew he was the one for us. Not simply because he made us super comfortable but he treated us like family. Seriously he invited us over to his house we met his wife and his kids! When it came time to go to work it was more like fun time; we never felt rushed he worked with all my crazy idea's plus more importantly made my Wife happier than a fat kid in a candy store... a married man at a strip joint...er I'm gonna get in trouble here aren't I??! My entire family and guests loved his work, he set up his laptop in the reception area with a quick slideshow of the pictures. People who attended our wedding have asked me for his info and really commented on how well he was able to work with what limited time we had to take pictures between the wedding and reception, incorporating all our wants even my crazy superman obsession. Curtis you are the best, we thank you so very much, it was truly magical to have you with us on that special day. read more

No need to look any further - Enchanted Portraiture will blow you away. We used Curtis and Andrija 20 years ago for my family's Bar and Bat Mitzvahs; we loved the photos and the personalities of Curtis and Andrija so much that when it came time for our 230-person southern California wedding, the family was thrilled to use them again. Andrija was the photographer for my wedding and her eye, talent, technical proficiency, and energetic and adventurous personality made the day beyond words. The photos are unlike anything we have ever seen before - and the turn-around to receive the photos was so fast! She is so fun to be around, and the photos we have are amazing. I had people coming up to me non-stop telling me how much they loved Andrija and her assistants. Use Enchanted Portraiture for any event - like us you will be thrilled when you work with them and when you see your photos. read more
