Hi! Im Cristina
I am a dreamer, and a nomad at heart.
I had never planned becoming a wedding photographer but wedding photography found me, and trapped me.
I’ve always been drawn into visual storytelling, and conveying emotion through images. At my teenage years I got really passioned with urban and street photography and later on I got every existing photo course at University where I did lots of social documentary photography in parallel to Fine Art Photography. Little did I know by then, even after I graduated, that weddings -not really estimated on academic spheres-, would become one of my favourites photography genres and such a big part of my life.
Wedding photography to me came as a fortunate casualty back in 2010 via a friend’s request to photograph her wedding and it hooked me forever.
My love for wedding photography is a living thing, and connecting with people through it makes my world go round. I love capturing emotions as they unfold in front of the lens and deepen into what lies within the bond of a couple. I adore love stories.
Wedding photography got me so easily because it lets me combine the three key elements I always seek in an image; a story, room for creativity, and emotion.
on a more personal note,
I am a mañica born in Zaragoza, Spain, land of Goya, Cierzo, pilares, ternasco, and chipiarse when it rains.
All started there.
I am anytime ready to shoot you from 1988 😉
Photography was magic for me since I can remember (and it still is), but my clown camera, despite being my favourite toy when child, was not getting really accurate results so years later, I finally got for for christmas my first tiny little cute compact camera when I was 11, and then I married photography and we lived happily ever after (tho I had affairs with painting too)
I graduated in Fine Arts at University Complutense of Madrid and during my Erasmus studies exchange in Greece, I met my partner in crime, Panos, the most beautiful soul on earth.
Photography was since a very early age magic for me (and it still is), but my clown camera, despite being my favourite toy, was not getting really accurate results so years later, finally I got for for christmas my first tiny little cute compact camera when I was 11. And was then when I married photography and we lived happily ever after.

Together we moved to the Uk where I worked as a freelance editorial fashion photographer and a painter for a Uk based portrait and landscape commissioned painting company, and moved to Sweden where I worked for 6 years as a full time Press photographer while running as well my wedding photography company. Now, we are based between France and Spain. And I’d like to tell you that I love travelling, so no matter where your wedding is happening, if you connect with my work, I definitely invite you to reach out
Why would you choose me?
Beautiful, authentic, meaningful… If that is what comes to your mind when you picture your wedding photography, then we might be a match.
During the last 10 years photography has given me the opportunity to live and work in Spain, Greece, UK, Sweden and France, and tell the story of hundreds of couples around Europe, and my two main passions: Documentary photography and Fine Art combined together have served me enormously in my wedding photography work.
My experience in Documentary photography has kept me always deeply connected with the most human and emotional side of photography. This has led me to organically develop strong skills in sensing and anticipating to moments, being highly reactive at every moment.
And my passion for Fine Art photography and visual storytelling has a direct influence in the couple’s portrait session, and as well in my editing style and process. I give equal importance to the photography part as I give to the image development, to properly reflect the atmosphere and emotion of every scene.
Wedding photography is a historic document of a key moment in a family.
I am very aware of that and I develop my work from the understanding of what that day's unique moments, and those image mean to a couple and a family in the context of a lifetime.
Maybe now you are not really aware right now, but years down the road, my images will be something really important to you. You will go through them and see an image where your father is looking at you in tears of joy, or your grand ma is giving you her most warmth hug whispering you how much she loves you. All those memories preserved in images are going to take you back to that moment and trigger those emotions you felt on your big day.
Is right at that moment when my work will have completed its purpose.
And that is exactly my goal with wedding photography; to generate a visual legacy not only of you as a couple, but of all those who will participate in one of the most important days of your lives

« »Where do I even begin !? We were absolutely amazed with the result of our wedding pictures..they were actually better than what we had dreamed of having. From the beginning she looked like reading our minds and knowing exactly what we wanted. The communication was perfect at every moment before the wedding also. During the wedding she was patient, funny and felt more like a friend than a photographer. We feel so grateful and lucky she was the one to capture our wedding!
