ABOUT Photographer

I’m Elias Choi-Buttinger, the Austrian photographer and filmmaker behind Bound of Music. I photograph elopements, intimate weddings and pre- and after-wedding adventures in Austria, the Dolomites and wherever a couple’s story takes me. I grew up as the son of two artists and spent years working as a professional dancer and choreographer. That background shapes how I see: the movement of a dress, a fleeting glance, the way two people find their own rhythm together. My photographs bring human connection into wild landscapes, from quiet mountain moments to lantern-lit evenings long after we probably should have headed home. Music sometimes comes along too, with live musicians becoming part of the experience. I want couples to remember how it felt to be there, with each other, doing things they love.
