About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Hello, I'm Alfredo Castellanos Hambleton, a cinematographer, photographer, and director specializing in weddings. With a Bachelor's degree in Arts from Villanova University and training in photography from Mexico City and Barcelona, I bring a diverse range of skills and experiences to my work. Over the past 10 years, I have honed my craft through capturing commercial projects, documentaries, films, music videos, and, most importantly, wedding content.

What sets my wedding work apart is my passion for cinematic storytelling. I strive to create videos that evoke the emotions and narrative arcs of a film, while maintaining an authentic and natural feel. Each frame is thoughtfully composed to capture genuine moments, avoiding forced or repetitive poses. My photography encapsulates the essence of your special day, delivering images that are timeless, beautiful, and true to your unique love story.

I believe that every wedding is a unique journey, and I am dedicated to preserving those precious memories through my artistic vision and technical expertise. I am thrilled to be a part of your special day and to create wedding content that will be cherished for a lifetime.

When filming a wedding, I approach it with the same care and attention as I would for a film or a documentary. My goal is to create a final product that goes beyond a mere wedding video—it's a timeless piece designed to be cherished and revisited throughout the couple's life. I believe in capturing the true essence of the occasion and the individuals who make it special.

My approach is to craft a work of art from the unique perspective of the couple themselves. I aim to immortalize not only the couple but also the cherished moments shared with older family members who may soon depart from this physical dimension and the younger ones who will grow up faster than we can imagine. Every frame in the film I create is carefully thought out to capture the authentic emotions, beauty, and significance of the wedding day.

From start to finish, I ensure that the film encapsulates the true essence of what transpired during the wedding. It's not just a collection of moments, but a flowing narrative that tells the couple's story with proper pacing, emotional depth, and captivating storytelling. By doing so, I strive to create a film that not only captures the memories but also becomes a cherished keepsake that can be passed down through generations.

I am committed to creating a wedding film that captures the depth of emotions and the magic of the day, preserving it for a lifetime of joyful reminiscence.

Cinematic & ecstatic ✨

Wedding videos tend to suck. For the most part, they feel artificial and painfully cheesy. When we were looking into local vendors we saw an interminable string of boring and formulaic videos that all blended together, totally lacking in personality or artistry. We kinda give up on having one at all.

Buuuuut we kept thinking it over. We are film people… after all, it’s what brought us together! And we knew we’d regret not committing our big day to video. We were determined to find someone outside the wedding industrial complex, a Cinematographer with a capital “C,” someone who works from a place of curiosity, experimentation, and a true love of visual storytelling. It was like we manifested Alfredo. He came into the project with so much warmth and enthusiasm. We hit it off immediately and we wanted to give him full creative freedom in both filming and editing. He was going to be such a big part of the celebration that we wanted him and his camera to have fun and be like any of our others guests… except a bit more observant. His presence felt so seamless and natural, neither detached nor intrusive. He was just one of the awesome people we were having an awesome time with. And the end product? We were floored. Five years later, we still are. His work is wonderfully evocative. Every time we watch our video it’s like we’ve snapped back in time, immersed in the memories and emotions of that day. Cinematic and ecstatic, he was able to document the quieter, more tender moments before the ceremony as powerfully as the wilder, more frenzied moments on the dance floor. Through Alfredo’s craft we’re transported back to the most joyous day of our life. He was a dream to collaborate with and we couldn’t be more grateful. 💕

Most Beautiful Pictures of My Life

There was no one else I would have trusted to take my Wedding Pictures. His pictures look like paintings. He shot us in our truth. We felt completely safe and relaxed when communicating with him prior. At the wedding he floated around, without interrupting or getting in the way. When taking our pictures he was really respectful and communicated clearly. We could trust that he would capture us in our best light. He was very adaptable and aware of his surroundings, always making the most out of his resources. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL and I know we will look at the and love them for the rest of our lives. I can not stop looking at them. I love them. I love how we look. I love how intimately and subtly you can see our emotions. I highly recommend Alfredo because he is an Artist and an expert in his field.
