I have been in the business 36 years & closed over $446,000,000 in residential sales. Most of it has been in luxury homes. I have had the privilege of working with the most gifted photographers on my listings. Chris Mendiola ,owner of Blue Bruin Photography would be one those at the top of the list. He is creative & has a strong work ethic. He strives hard to pull out of the subject what the client wants or needs. His work is art.

Without a doubt for the past 10 years, I can say that Chris Mendiola has been the BEST at getting my listed properties to shine and look pristine and appealing. He uses his artistic perspective of how to best present each home and its surroundings to bring the prospective buyer into the home...and make it so appealing that they know they must schedule to see it. Not only is his technical ability "top drawer" , but his professionalism through timely response to texts, emails, or phone calls and most of all the end product helps me to launch the home as quickly as possible. I have always considered Chris a part of my team when it comes to selling beautiful homes!

Professional, Knowledgeable, Competent. Those would be the first 3 words that I would use to describe Chris and Blue Bruin Photography. Chris takes the time to do things right and doesn't rush through the job just to get done. Chris is very thorough in the photography and the drone footage that he takes. I like that he has a good eye for the layout and how the shots should be seen. I would highly recommend using Chris and Blue Bruin Photography for all your photography needs.


-Toby Vicknair

Chris is exceptional! He has taken my listing photos for over six years. The quality of his service is unmatched. He takes the time to ensure even the smallest of details is taken care of for each photo session. Turn on all lights/lamps, open blinds, remove toothbrushes, remove soaps and razors, etc. He knows it's important to me so he doesn't snap a photo unless those things are perfect! He's my guy for luxury homes and I cannot imagine listing a moderate priced home without his awesome photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
