"10/10 recommend Arturo!"
My brother and sister-in-law hired Arturo for their recent wedding and recommended him to us, and I was immediately blown away at how responsive, professional and creative Arturo was off the bat. He completely understood my vision and initial inspiration, and our wedding film reflected everything I had dreamt of and then some.
"beyond amazing."
Arturo is one of a kind. The dedication and heart that he puts into his videos is like no other!
Being able to to watch our special day over and over again makes it possible for us to relive the most amazing day of our lives! He captured our love and put it into a video that we will forever cherish!

Arturo was a gem to work with! Not only is he great at what he does, I was most struck by just how awesome of a human he is. He is kind, thoughtful, curious, and exudes gratitude and positivity. He was flexible and accommodated our various needs, always taking a "we can" approach. During our events he was present, inconspicuous, and I loved how he seemed to love every moment of it as well! It's clear Arturo has deep love for this work and we are so grateful to have partnered with him!

My unobtrusive approach allows me to blend seamlessly into your celebration, capturing the real emotions and candid interactions without interrupting the flow of your day. From the joyful laughter during the speeches to the quiet, intimate glances shared between you and your partner, I strive to capture it all. It’s these unfiltered moments that truly reflect your love story, and I take pride in showcasing them in a way that feels true to who you are.
Before the big day, I take the time to get to know you and your vision. We’ll discuss your story, preferred styles, and any must-have shots, ensuring that everything aligns perfectly with your dreams.
On the wedding day, this planning allows me to anticipate the moments that matter most—whether it’s the heartfelt vows, the laughter during speeches, or those candid interactions between family and friends. I strive to create a film that truly reflects your love story, preserving the magic for years to come.
With a keen eye for detail, I focus on those heartfelt glances, laughter, and joyful tears that tell your unique love story. I want you to feel free to enjoy every moment while I quietly document it all from behind the lens.

You will get a 60-second teaser reel within 24 hours. Crazy right!? I legit do not go to bed until it is finished. The remaining videos will then be edited and delivered electronically between 2-3 months after your wedding day.

I love filming elopements! Whether you're eloping on a cliff in Big Sur or in your backyard, it doesn't matter I wanna hear all about it :)

So far, the farthest I've gone south is LA and the farthest north is Klamath Falls. BUT I will officially be filming my first wedding in Guadalajara, Mexico next year in 2025! So in short, yes I do travel. I would love to go back to Italy and film a wedding there. I'm speaking it into existence.
