hello!
I’m Christian Ochoa-Diaz.
Wedding cinematographer
My passion for filmmaking began with a love for movie theaters and the world of cinema. As a kid, my parents would take me to the theater whenever they could, and that magic sparked a lifelong fascination with film. That spark evolved into a genuine passion, guiding me down a creative path that I still cherish today.
Studying Film and TV Production at a four-year college provided me with the tools and connections to step into my first major role as a Wedding Videographer in 2021. Since then, after four years and countless weddings, I’ve been fortunate to deepen my love for the industry and the joy of capturing couples’ stories.
Through CRANOCAZ, my goal is to craft cinema-inspired wedding films with a nostalgic twist, blending modern storytelling with vintage styles such as Super 8. The result? Intimate, timeless memories that feel as unique as the love stories they capture.
