White Haute Photography

Thank you very much to Chris and the White Haute team for such an excellent job with our wedding photography. It is truly an art to be able to take beautiful photos while making the bride and groom feel comfortable and at ease. Chris and his team did an excellent job from start to finish in capturing the essence of our wedding day. We were recommended by a friend to use White Haute for our wedding photography, and we are so happy we chose them and decided to make the investment as the photos turned out better than we could have expected. We can’t wait to have them shoot our maternity & family sessions in the future!

Simply stunning photos! From our engagement session with Chris to the wedding with both Chris and his wife, Erinn, the moments they capture are breathtaking.
Professional yet personable, great communicators, and exceptional photo quality are just a few reasons you should hire this dynamite duo!

Chris and Erinn are amazing photographers! Not only are they a lovely husband and wife team of photographers, they also know how to work well with each other to get the perfect shots. They captured our special day last weekend at the Big Bear Marina Resort, and my husband and I fell in love with every single photograph they showed us so far. They are amazingly talented and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer! Thank you so much Chris and Erinn for being to professional and skilled in all aspects of our wedding! We cant wait for future maternity and family photos when it gets to that time in our lives! :) We truly appreciate you two!

I literally squealed when I saw the Sneak Peek photos. Chris and Erinn were awesome throughout every part of the process. We were dealing with rain in the forecast, so Chris emailed a few days in advance to suggest getting some uniform umbrellas in case we needed them.
We were fortunate enough to have the rain clear just in time, and the proof is in the pudding… would absolutely recommend them for any event, they capture EVERY SINGLE detail, and every time I look at these photos I will smile, and thank them!

We hired White Haute, a.k.a. Chris Austin and crew, for our wedding in October 2014. We had a wonderful experience, to say the least. Chris and his family reside in Lake Elsinore but were willing to come down to central San Diego to photograph our engagement and wedding sans the crazy extra fees most photogs charge. Chris also took the time to get to know us and our needs before we even signed the contract. That says a lot about White Haute’s professionalism.
In addition, my now-​husband and I work full time, so we did not have a lot of time to scout out the perfect photo ops for our engagement shoot (which is included in all packages so you don’t have to sweat the small stuff). Chris did the research for us, led us to several fantastic backdrops around town, and captured some amazing moments that really characterized who we are as a couple.
And the wedding images… were phenomenal! And so stylized. I felt like our images could (and probably will) end up in some fantastic wedding blog. Chris and his assistant joined us throughout the big day and made us feel comfortable and unrushed so we could enjoy having some downtime to ourselves before attending the exciting but overwhelming reception. Chris even rapped in the trolley on the way to the reception! I hope someone took video.
I really want to thank White Haute for being accommodating and responsive. If you need a wedding photographer, you need not look any further!

Chris and Erinn are beyond talented photographers! They have shot our family photos for over 5 years now, and we are always blown away. We have small children, so it’s not always easy, and we are always amazed at what they capture. I would highly recommend to anyone!

We chose White Haute Photography for our December wedding in 2014, and all we can say is «Wow!» If you are looking for a first class photographer for any special event, look no further.
The process was professional, simple and stress free. Chris contacted us promptly after we had confirmed they were our choice, and was very pleasant to work with. They asked us what we were looking for, and recommended two photographers to get a better perspective of every moment of that special night. That was some great advice, as the photos came out great, with so many shots to save for a lifetime. They took our requests to heart and brought a nighttime, winter wedding to life!
We will definitely be hiring them again for a future shoot! Thank you Chris, Erinn, and everyone at White Haute Photography for making our once-​in-​a-​lifetime event, THAT much more special.

Chris Austin did an amazing job with our wedding photos! After I saw the amazing photography he did with one of my friend’s weddings, I had to go with him. Our engagement shots turned out beautiful; he took pictures wherever we asked and posed us in fun, cute ways. I couldn’t have been happier with a different photographer. I would recommend him for any wedding and family photography!

Choosing White Haute Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I found Chris and Erinn’s website and I was instantly in love with White Haute. I sent Chris an email that night inquiring into (what I thought) was the slim chance they would come to Arizona to do our shoot. Chris and Erinn were more than happy to do our shoot in Arizona and even more excited to do the engagement shoot in Sedona! They asked if we should meet via Skype or fly to California to see their portfolio and decide if we wanted to use them. I didn’t need to meet them, I knew right away.
I couldn’t be happier with all of our photos. Their blogs and portfolios speak for themselves. Chris took the time to research awesome places to do the shoots and all of the places turned out to be great. We have had our engagement photos, wedding photos, and day-​after photos posted on wedding blogs, which is really exciting.
Chris always returned my emails instantly and the communication was great. Not only are the pictures incredible, they were so nice and easy to work with that I honestly felt like we had made new friends afterwards.

Chris and Erinn of White Haute Photography were truly outstanding at our wedding. Individually, they were fun and down to earth. They listened to my ideas and really embraced my vision. You can tell these two really enjoy what they are doing — and are amazingly talented! It was a joy to have them, not only as photographers, but as guests! Professionally — White Haute Photography is the best! They take so much pride in their work — and it shows! Our photos (both engagement and wedding) turned out absolutely breathtaking. Every time I show my photos to any friends or family — I repeatedly hear «those are the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve seen!!» I have so many unbelievable photos that truly express my event and my relationship with my hubby. Everything was perfect! Amazing people — top notch photography — you will not be disappointed!!!

when i first found white haute photography, i instantly knew they HAD to be our photographers. their pictures are timeless, organic, natural– everything i wanted in my photos. when we met them for our engagement session, i was so happy. they both came with bright smiles on their faces and ready to work. we traveled for our shoot to a spectacular location chris had suggested, and we were so happy he did. our engagement photos are everything we could have ever dreamed of and both my husband and i were grateful for the opportunity to work with them before the wedding.
what i really loved is the fact chris and erinn are married. they both play off each other and feed off the energies and, for us, this created the best environment. it wasn’t like we were shooting with photographers, it was like we were shooting with our very best friends (who also happen to be AMAZINGLY talented photographers). they both are so comfortable with each other, it made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. that dynamic cannot be faked– these guys are the real deal.
now, our wedding photos? WOW! the BEST photos i have ever seen (not being biased, or anything). when i first received them, i was blown away. chris and erinn captured every single moment i asked for (and some i didn’t even think of but am so grateful they did), they were professional, enthusiastic, and we both felt like White Haute Photography really wanted our wedding to be special.
i am so happy we had chris and erinn shoot our wedding. the pictures are the only thing left once the wedding is over, and i am SO THRILLED we have these photos to reflect back on. chris has always been there to answer my nagging questions, and is professional and friendly about it. erinn helped me feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, so we weren’t forced or posed (which is what i liked about them in the first place).
i cannot say enough good things about White Haute Photography. i still stalk their blog daily to get a good wedding photo fix. and they hit it out of the park EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Trust me: you will NOT be disappointed with choosing white haute photography, but you WILL be disappointed if you don’t.

Having White Haute Photography as our photographers was the biggest let down of our wedding.
I know they have lots of other clients; however, throughout this entire experience we have felt less important than the others. I had to contact them two days before our wedding to give them the info about where to be when, the photos we received don’t live up to the standard of the awesome photos we saw on their blog when we picked them, and getting any product from them was like pulling teeth with lots of excuses. They said that we would receive our photos in four to six weeks. After 7 weeks of waiting, we still only received half of our photos. The ones from the last minute, sub par replacement of the wife didn’t appear for at least a few days later and were lackluster to say the least.
Furthermore, they were the only vendor to require that we pay in full before the event (even if it was stated in their policy, every other vendor made arrangements with us to be paid after we received their final product since that’s what we were more comfortable with), yet they were the only vendor we had not received a final product from months after our wedding.
Each time I emailed with Chris, I just received lots of excuses about why we didn’t have the things we had been promised… spam folders, other photos to edit, lost in the mail…
I would never recommend them to anyone.
