Great spot for delicious Cafe food. Entered near eleven, it wasn't packed. The service here is attentive. Prices were fair.

Chris did a family photo shoot for us (not wedding photos), and we had a fantastic experience. We had some special but vague requests about the setting, and he came up with the perfect place. He spent plenty of time with us, staging us with multiple different configurations of people in several different settings. We had tons of different photos from which to choose our favorites. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat. You should too.

Love this place. The food is great, and the owners Brenda, Dani and Matt are the best! If you're in the downtown area head to Chaco's for breakfast or lunch.

We hired Chris to do a family photo shoot while we were visiting Tucson. He was truly exceptional. Photos turned out beautifully and he made the shoot really fun which is hard to do when you have a range of ages from 3-70! He was easy and fun to work with and the photo quality was fabulous. Would highly recommend him for a family photo shoot based on our experience and results!

Chris was our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. We met with Chris before hiring him, and we immediately clicked. He was very open to some suggestions we had for the engagement shoot and the results were beautiful. Both the engagement and wedding photos are so full of life and really capture the fun we had those days. Chris captured some funny little moments that are now funny/happy memories. (Like myself taking a swig from our best man's flask post ceremony-pre reception) At our wedding reception, people would gather in the foyer to look at the slideshow of photos Chris had taken from just hours (and sometimes minutes) before. It is fun to look back through our albums and photos to reminisce, and we are so thankful that we had Chris documenting the day.

Chris Richards did a wonderful job capturing our wedding (and engagement photos). He is a very talented photographer, and the photos are proof of that. He does a great job of listening to what you and your partner do and don't like, but balances your with preferences with what he knows works and will look good. He is also great at capturing moments of honest emotion, including one of my favorite photos of my bridesmaids and me, in which we're all laughing openly. The mix of staged and candid shots gave us both those "professional" photos that will go on our walls, as well as many natural, special moments that we will treasure ourselves. I highly recommend Chris. He's smart, fun, and extremely talented. You can't pick a better photographer!

I originally found Chris via Yelp because reading all of the other reviews, he seemed like a great photographer. Yelp was right and I concur with all other reviews - Chris is FANTASTIC! I highly recommend him for any photography needs. Chris and I had only spoken on the phone prior to the shoot but even on the phone I could tell he understood exactly what I was looking for in a family photo session. I wanted a photographer who could shoot documentary-style photos that would capture the playful spirit of my family and me. Chris did just that and along the way made it so much fun. I was visiting Tucson for the holidays and was thrilled to work with Chris. He incorporated beautiful, natural features of the desert landscape and used the light of the setting sun to illuminate each shot perfectly. I look forward to when our paths cross again.

Chris Richards is a class act and worth every penny. He truly is a professional photographer and has a sharp attention to detail, exceptional quality, and an overall skill level that is second to none. Apart from being an excellent photographer (we are amazed by the beautiful moments he was able to capture) he is also honest, motivated, and thoughtful. It never felt like a "cookie cutter" experience where you see several couples on the website doing the exact same orchestrated pose. Every picture encompassed a moment that was special to us. Thank you Chris!

Chris was the most amazing person to work with for my wedding. We asked him to travel to our wedding in San Diego, and while there are many good photographers in the area, I would not have had it any other way. He photographed my brother's wedding in 2009 and did such an amazing job then that I knew I could trust to do the same for mine. He is truly a talented photographer and he captured every moment of our wedding perfectly. His personality is one that makes you feel comfortable and ready to be in front of the camera. He is genuine and funny, makes you laugh all through pictures and seamlessly blends into the day. The photos that he captured from our wedding are outstanding. They are incredibly beautiful and he has that amazing talent of capturing people in the moment. He was even able to make my usually camera shy husband shine. From the first moment we spoke to Chris after our engagement through delivering my photos to me, Chris was amazing to work with. He is easy to get ahold of and always goes out his way to make everything right and special for you.

I cannot say enough great things about Chris Richards. My daughter is graduating from high school this year, and we wanted her senior portraits to be special and different. I'd known for years that I wanted Chris to do them, after seeing his work at a friends wedding. He shot downtown for several hours one afternoon in early February. Each and every finished shot is amazing, beautiful, and my daughter has deemed him to be a Wizard of some sort. Thanks Chris, for capturing my little girl at this moment in her life.
Chris was a wonderful photographer. We met with him before the wedding to discuss what we were looking for (relaxed and casual wedding photos) and he totally delivered. If you're going to spend all day with a photographer, Chris is the one to have. He is creative and patient and made my normally photo resistant husband and family comfortable. He was reliable, reasonably priced, and we never had any communication problems. We'd recommend Chris to anyone. We have a variety of wonderful pictures to choose from!

My husband & I got married in February. It was so much fun to have Chris be our photographer. The pictures far exceeded my expectations. He also made the experience very fun. I was somewhat sick, yes on my wedding day, and he made me smile and laugh which helped a lot. I think I got through the long day with lots of laughs, smiles and pure adrenaline. We just got a photo album we ordered from him today, more than gorgeous. We have 3 of our wedding pictures professionally framed as well as 1 of our engagement photos. They look wonderful in our house and remind of us our most happy day. We are so happy and would recommend him to anyone for their special day.

Chris Richards is amazing!! He did two engagement sessions for my husband and I 2 years ago, and we just recently had pictures taken again just for fun. We are very camera shy, and he is SO patient, and helps us come out of our shell. He is so fun to shoot with AND... the most important part is that his pictures are AMAZING! His work takes my breath away every time. We get non-stop compliments on our photos, and I couldn't be happier to have these amazing images to look at in years to come. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRIS FOR MAKING OUR MEMORIES SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

I met Chris recently at an event hosted by Yelp Tucson. He was the designated photographer & had a portrait spot set up in the Fox Theatre for other event-goers. I just viewed the photos from the event and WOW - they are fantastic! He does a great job catching candid shots. Amazing, really. The pictures are modern & fun & magazine worthy. Now if only I had an event to book him for...
