Christina McNeill is recognized as one of the top wedding photographers in the country. She sees moments unfolding before they happen and sees the world in a way that no one else does. She’s driven by an unflagging curiosity about the world and the people in it, by a deep love of her subjects, and by fearless creativity.
For Christina, photography and storytelling are in her bones. She grew up around cameras and family photos - her grandma was always sharing old albums and stories, and grandpa took a camera everywhere he went, taking pictures of everyday, ordinary life. Christina got her first camera (hot pink, 110mm, point and shoot) at the age of 9, sparking a lifelong love affair with analog film. She went to art school to learn the rules, and she also knows exactly when to break them. If you can’t pin down her style, it’s because she couldn’t care less about labels. She blurs all the lines, and creates surprising and iconic images that can stand alone in an art gallery, or fit perfectly in a wedding album.
Christina’s work is as influenced by punk rock as it is by old-school glamour and stardust. There’s an energy and emotion in Christina’s work that is unmatched - even her black and white photos feel vibrant. From funny nostalgic snapshots to timelessly elegant movie stills, Christina has a range and a vision that gives you all of that, and makes it all work together.
Christina lives in San Francisco with her husband and their Great Danes.
