I was so exited since the wedding coordinator (Cabo Weddings By Tammy) called to explain to me all the details about Courtney and Marshall’s wedding. First of all, she asked me if we could make an internet broadcast of the ceremony. We made the test while Courtney was watching from her home and e-mailing us at [...]
At the end of Hoda & Herbert coverage while we were saying goodbye to the guests, Hoda suddenly told us: – “Have you guys already shoot the ring rolling? That´s why we choose you guys!” I have been doing the ring shot almost as my signature in every single video since I started doing weddings, [...]

Angel, The video is AMAZING. It’s totally what I wanted. Thank you so much. I think it would be seriously the highlight to our wedding banquet coming up. I showed a couple of my friends and they’ve never seen anything like it. They’re talking about going to Cabo to get you to do videos for [...]
Rick didn´t stop smiling during the whole day… If one stunning woman like Ana was telling me in front of her family and friends that she going to spend the rest of her life with me, I would smile too, even while I am sleeping!!!
It was hard to choose which part of the story to put on the highlight video because Amanda & Joe were very enthusiastic and shared a lot with us. One thing they shared with us was their love of panoramic views. They were at the Grand Canyon with the Colorado River flowing behind them [...]
I absolutely love the feeling of perfection this event provoked in me… At Veronica & Chris wedding every single detail flowed so smoothly. Before the wedding day and after a couple of meetings with them, I was telling everybody that I had met the most easygoing couple ever! The wedding coordinator was Leoan Gómez from [...]
Leonardo produced and managed this exciting project shot all around Cabo. I must say he is a really big fan of eco adventures, so this video is perfectly suited for him. In his own words: ”It was a real privilege to explore and feel what Cabo has to offer…” This is just a piece of [...]
After doing this video, all I can say about Karla Casillas company is, She is simply one of the most experienced and professional Wedding Coordinators in Cabo!!!
Weddings don´t need to be crowed for being memorable. Diana & Tim celebrated such an intimate and nice wedding since they only had around 20 guests at beautiful Westin Los Cabos. The feeling in this cases is really overwhelming!!!
I am still having questions of my clients about the content of the entire DVD… well, here it is another example of Nidhi & Suken video… This clip starts just after the highlights.

When Leo and I knew we were going to work in an Indian Wedding, our first thought was: Finally!!! We usually follow the work of lots of wedding videographers/cinematographers of the world.

Destination weddings are always frenetic. The schedule must be followed strictly and usually we don´t have enough time to do our stuff, so what to do? Improvise! The white background is the room curtain and the rings shot is a trick on the camera for having a blurry depth of field. Things like this exist [...]
Anyone planning a wedding knows that there are a million decisions to make. Which bridesmaid dresses, how many candles, what type of flowers, what songs to play… on and on.

I am really happy and proud to have worked with Nathalie & Tyler, she told me once that because of our work she and her husband decided to get marry in Cabo… Totally an honor for us! She asked for I´m yours by Jason Mraz as the highlight song and here is the result.

I think is curious how my dear couples have asked me for specific songs in their highlights lately. In this case, I hadn´t heard this Stand by Me version that Lisa & Tony chose for their first dance, and I loved it! I mean the Ben E. King song is a classic, but is great [...]
Fortunately for me Lindsay & Craig wanted to hire us before our meeting, so it was the most relaxing meeting we have ever had. We just talked little bit, I showed to them my examples, and after a couple of minutes Lindsay saw Craig and told him, “Book the date!” Leonardo and I were with [...]

My first approach with this couple was with the bride, Thuy, I remember perfectly the day when I was offering my services to her and I can say for sure that we start working in that precise moment. Thuy knew exactly what she wanted in every single aspect and I could tell since everything was [...]
The last April 10th Leonardo and I had the opportunity to work again with Hautter.com covering the 4th edition of the flashlight party. In this event all the club lights are out during all night and everybody need to bring some kind of lantern. And of course was a great opportunity to enjoy the music [...]
Usually, when I take a little bit of the audio, I focus in the bride´s words. This time I took Michael´s. He is so expressive and his words made this highlight so memorial! Who wouldn´t be inspirited with a woman like Veronica… Stunning!
Kate was stunning and radiant on her wedding day, not nervous at all. She was in her room getting ready with a big big smile, practicing her vows and posing for photographers. And believe me when I say photographers in plural, Kate & Garrett´s family is fill of them, and the best of all is that everybody is so [...]

Just try to explain this words… Do you think that talk about a moment, happiness, maybe a sensation? I met Becky almost a year before her wedding. She and her mom told me things like they weren´t so serious, their style was modern and that she and Jason was completely in love. They was so [...]
Sunsets in Cabo are quite amazing, and Sunset Da Mona Lisa in one spot where this experience becomes absolutely magic. The crimson colors seems to hypnotize everyone who adventures to see the sky. I think the sky blush with those intense colors at seeing how two people have decided to share their lives forever.
Krystal & Jonathan decided to meet me one day before their wedding to talk about details. That was the perfect occasion to try something new and gladly I assisted to the meeting with my camera and microphone! We had a 5 or 6 minutes interview on camera (the Riu hotel where they were, doesn´t allow [...]

What traditions and sensiblities are they grouped with? In this case the answer to all the questions was an stunning Red concept! Red creates excitement [...]
The Bride & Groom’s first dance is the most special and significant at a Wedding Dance. It is the first time they have danced together as Husband and Wife!
