About ME
Christina Marchioni | Photographer
London, Ontario
Meet Christina, your London, Ontario photographer
Well hello there! My name’s Christina — nice to meet you! I’m a London, Ontario–based photographer specializing in cosplay, concert, and portrait photography. My style is bold, colorful, and full of energy — kind of like the best version of your favorite memories.
As both an artist and a storyteller, I see photography as a way to hold onto the things we don’t even realize we’ll miss — preserving people, places, and moments just as they are.
Beyond my main work, I create conceptual art exploring dark, haunting themes — imagery that goes beyond the ordinary. These pieces reflect my fascination with the surreal and the unexpected beauty found in shadows.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me hanging out with my dog, Ragnar (my unofficial pawtrait assistant), traveling, re-watching my favorite movies, sipping coffee (iced or hot — no judgment), curating new playlists, or playing a quick round of Rummikub.
Why I do this
Photography isn’t just pressing a button—it’s my way of connecting with people. It’s about emotion, personality, and those subtle moments that say everything without words.
My goal is to create images that feel genuine and true to you… the kind that look like stills from your favourite film and become the best version of your favourite memories.
How I work
My approach is built on creativity, connection, and comfort. Before every session, I take the time to understand you and your vision.
If you’re camera-shy—don’t worry. I’ll guide you every step of the way with gentle direction, posing support, and plenty of reassurance so you feel confident, relaxed, and completely yourself.
Whether it’s a creative portrait, band photos, cosplay, or something uniquely you, every session is thoughtfully built around your personality and story.
Fun Facts About Me
I never say no to coffee (it fuels my creativity). I love a good game of Rummikub, LEGO, and spontaneous adventures that turn into unforgettable memories. I have a soft spot for dogs (they make every photoshoot better). I’m also a playlist curator—every shoot comes with its own soundtrack.
I draw endless inspiration from films and music, and I’m (not so secretly) obsessed with dark, moody moments and foggy weather—they just make everything picture-perfect.
CINEMATIC & VIBRANT PORTRAITS
Cosplay PHOTOGRAPHY
I understand firsthand the dedication cosplay requires—hours spent researching your character, designing costumes, styling wigs, crafting props, and assembling every detail with care.
Having been in your shoes, I deeply appreciate the time, effort, and emotional investment it takes to bring a character to life. My goal as a photographer is to highlight that hard work. I work with cosplayers of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned veterans, capturing every detail and showcasing the passion behind your craft. Expect a seamless, enjoyable, and professional experience that brings your cosplay vision vividly to life.
Capturing the emotion, energy and all the things in between
Music PHOTOGRAPHY
Music has always been a huge inspiration for me—just ask my Spotify playlists. Growing up in London, Ontario, I spent countless nights at concerts at London Music Hall, Call the Office, and Canada Life Place (back when it was the John Labatt Centre). What started as a love for live music naturally led me to specialize in live music photography. I love immersing myself in the energy of performances, capturing those fleeting, electrifying moments, and preserving them so audiences everywhere can feel the same excitement.

Christina is absolutely amazing to work with! Her knowledge of her camera, poses, framing, setting/backdrops, effects, props, etc make her a force to be reckoned with! She made our photo shoot feel professional yet very laid back, so we had a structure to get the job done while I was made to feel comfortable and have fun. She also takes her time with the clients to ensure she only does her best work possible, and it definitely shows in the final products! I can't wait to shoot with her again very soon!

I loved working with Christina, she's such a treat. She's very professional while remaining loose and friendly, and flexible. She's accommodating, and has a great ability to direct her model and her overall scene. I find her very relaxing to be around and never have to worry about what a shot looks like as she demonstrates top tier understanding of her craft. Her work is incredible, you can tell she's dedicated herself to creating artwork with every portrait. I wish I could rate higher.

Christina came out to a music video shoot for my band and captured a set of beautiful behind the scenes photos that we were able to bump out as content and hype up to our fans. One even ended up being an advertisement for custom speakers we owned. Strongly recommend going to Christina. Besides being strong at her craft she also has a great personality and was amazing to have on set!
