Christian M.

Hi, I'm Christian! I'm an Austin native with a passion for capturing life's biggest and smallest moments. Believe it or not, I come from a filmmaking background, having studied in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia and in Berlin, Germany. I also had the pleasure of working with both Rooster Teeth Productions and Austin Film Festival right here in Austin, Texas.

When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me traveling, watching movies, or hanging out with my German rabbit, Bun. ​During my time studying film, my concentration was in documentary filmmaking. I try to apply my love of the documentary style to my weddings, by placing emphasis on candid and emotional moments. Each couple is so special, and I thrive in capturing that unique partnership and energy between them. I firmly believe you can take inspiration from Pinterest and others' wedding photos, but at the end of the day, it's so fun to see what comes naturally to each couple and being able to capture it forever. That being said, I'm here to guide with posing and it's always my goal to make sure you look and feel your best!

My main priority with capturing a wedding is making sure I have successfully and artfully recorded the moods, emotions, and energy of the day. From a rainy wedding day with lots of happy tears to a summer wedding with lots of dancing, each wedding day is so vastly different and beautiful every time.

That being said, I would describe my photography style as photojournalistic. When it comes to interacting with clients, I know most people aren't comfortable with being in front of a big, scary lens. I'm a huge fan of giving prompts to my couples, with the occasional posture or posing correction so that they're looking their best while still staying true to what feels comfortable for them. Even though I arrive to a wedding as a stranger and a vendor, it's my goal to leave that wedding as something like a friend.
