Best wedding photographer ever. During my search for a wedding photographer, I called several different photographers in the area. Steve at Avalon struck me as extremely knowledgeable, as he was able to answer my barrage of technical questions with ease and confidence. It was clear that he has been doing photography for a very long time and really knows what he’s doing. At some point, I had a phone conversation with another wedding vendor in Chico that made me call and book Avalon immediately after I hung up. This wedding vendor asked which photographers I was considering, and when I listed Avalon, she said that she had gotten married herself just the year before, and hired Avalon to do her wedding. As a wedding vendor in the area, she is familiar with many of the local photographers, and said that Steve is the best. So I called him right away to book him. I am VERY happy I did so! Steve at Avalon did my engagement shoot and wedding photos. For the services he offers, he is very affordable. The other photographer, Alicia, who helped shoot the wedding, also did an amazing job. They are both extremely kind people, and very professional. They had lots of tricks to get people to smile and laugh genuinely, and captured so many sweet and funny candid moments. Also, I can’t say enough about the lighting—the lighting in the photos was incredible! They knew exactly where to position everyone down to the inch in order to work the setting to the best advantage. I have gotten so many comments from guests saying, “Wow—your photographer was so good!” or “They really knew what they were doing!” Thank you so much to Avalon for capturing my wedding so thoroughly that we won’t ever forget a moment of it! I can’t wait for my next excuse to hire you again! More...

Great photographer and very friendly, the most professional place in town by far and still has great prices. Great for weddings but don't forget about baby pics and family portraits.

I decided to surprise my wife by getting our family pictures done. I called Steve Twist with Avalon Portraits and had one of the best experiences. I have 3 kids under 7 and getting them to stand still is a challenge but he was so patient and made the experience great. He has his own studio at his home that we could use if we wanted to take pictures with traditional backgrounds or furniture but outside his yard is amazing. We took our pictures on his tree swings with each child beaming with smiles. Then we went over to his garden and took my favorite picture of all time with all the kids piled up on my wife and I like a pyramid and behind us was sunflowers. When we went in to view the pictures and pick out our favorites he touched up the pyramid picture highlighting us and the making the flowers more colorful.... beautiful. All I can say is we will be back once a year for family pictures and that I would highly recommend Steve take care of any pictures you need, weddings, family, etc. Great Job and Thank You Steve!!!!!!!!!

After 8 long years of not seeing my sisters or my parents, it was the moment we were waiting for. We were all traveling to California for my sister’s wedding and we were all excited. My mom couldn’t stop calling the day before with excitement. My wife said it would be a good idea for us to get a family portrait of mom and the girls so we can have at home for the kids. I called up my old high school buddy, who recommended Avalon Portraits. They were professional and did an excellent job! We made copies for everyone and that family portrait looks amazing above the fire place. More...
