Meet the filmmaker
Hey, I'm Ariel.
A wedding filmmaker drawn to the moments most people miss... the quiet exchanges, the laughter between friends, the words that carry more weight than any visual ever could.
After my mom passed away, I discovered the true power of video. Seeing not just how she looked... but how she sounded, how she laughed, how she moved. Watching those moments brought her presence back in a way photos never could.
That experience is what drives me. And when Flor and I married, she stepped into the work with the same conviction. Together, we make wedding films that aren't just beautiful. They preserve your love story in the voices of the people who lived it.
Having planned our own wedding, we understand how quickly the day moves, and how easy it is for meaningful moments to slip by unnoticed. That's why our role isn't just to film what happens... it's to observe with intention, to listen carefully, and to shape a film from what was truly lived, said, and felt.
The result is a wedding film that becomes more valuable with time. A record of your connection, your people... and the voices you'll one day be grateful you can still hear.
Get to know US
Because the people behind the camera shape the story that's preserved.
Over the years, we've learned that couples don't need another vendor directing the day. They need someone who knows when to step back, when to listen, and when a moment deserves to be protected instead of produced.
Our role is not just to film... it's to notice what matters and preserve it with intention.

Adventures with Flor.
My wife Flor and I have been married since June 2022. Most of my days are spent staring at her... anyway, since then we've traveled inside and outside the US, either filming weddings or on vacation. A few moments from our wedding below.
