Awestruck from our photos/video

We cannot recommend Alejandro and Cinematica Weddings enough! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, working with Alex was genuinely such a wonderful experience.

From the very first time we worked together for our engagement shoot, Alex made us feel so comfortable. Photos can be a little nerve-wracking when you’re not used to being in front of the camera, but he made everything feel easy, natural, and effortless. I think that is a huge part of what makes his work so special. Nothing felt overly posed or forced—the photos felt cinematic, editorial, and completely like us.

That same energy carried over to our wedding day. The day absolutely flew by, but Alex and his partner brought such positive, go-with-the-flow energy while still keeping everything on track. From getting ready through our reception and open dancing, they captured our day so beautifully.

And the photos and videos… WOW. We were blown away. We received our full edited photo gallery just over a couple weeks after our wedding, and our recap video came just under two months later. So many of our photos had this gorgeous editorial quality that left me thinking, “I can’t believe these are OUR wedding photos.” They captured the emotions, details, and energy of the day while still making everything feel cinematic.

One of my favorite touches was the camcorder footage incorporated throughout the day. Our hair and makeup artist, groomsmen, and bridesmaids all captured little moments from their own perspectives. Those clips made the video feel so personal and documentary-like, while the rest had that beautiful cinematic quality. It was such a special combination.

The process leading up to the wedding was just as great. Communication was always open, and Alex was just a text away whenever I had a question or concern. He has such a positive and friendly attitude. We love his creative eye. It was truly a pleasure to work with him and his team. It was easy to trust his process.

It has also been so exciting to see Alex’s work receive the recognition it deserves, including features in Vogue and Vanity Fair. He has mentioned what an honor it was for him to be part of our special day, but honestly, it feels like an honor for us to be part of his journey too.

We are so incredibly grateful that Cinematica Weddings documented such an important chapter of our lives. Every time we look through our photos or watch our video, we get to relive the magic all over again. We absolutely LOVE our wedding footage and could not recommend Alex and his team more!

He turned our day into art

Where do I even start with Alex.

I'd looked at a lot of wedding photography before finding him, and nothing looked like his work. It's not posed, it's not typical, it's movement and emotion and real moments that somehow look like art. He's not just a photographer, he's genuinely an artist.

We're from Seattle and knew we wanted to trade the rain for San Diego, but that's about as far as our planning went. I had no idea what locations would actually bring the vision in my head to life, so I just handed it over to Alex and let him take the lead. He suggested we start at our hotel, La Valencia in La Jolla, move to Balboa Park for the ceremony, and end the day at Sunset Cliffs for golden hour. Somehow it turned out even better than what I had pictured, and I say that as someone who is now completely incapable of picking favorites from our gallery.

Honestly, going in, we were a little intimidated by the whole photography thing. Alex made it fun. Like, genuinely fun, not just tolerable. He was easy to work with and so flexible with us the whole day, which made everything feel relaxed instead of stressful.

Then the gallery came back and I just sat there speechless. Some people who mattered to us couldn't be there that day, and having photos this real and this beautiful has meant more to me than I can really put into words. Someday we're going to be old and looking back at these, and honestly that thought alone gets me a little emotional. Alex is the real deal. Book him.

Best photographer/videographer ever

Working with Cinematica was hands down one of the best parts of our wedding experience. Alex and his team were easygoing, yet professional, and incredibly generous with their time, always going above and beyond to make sure everything felt right. We never felt pressured or staged. They just had this way of letting genuine moments happen, which made the photos and video feel like us. Every shot reflects not just how things looked, but how the day felt. We’re so grateful for the care and energy they gave and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cinematica to anyone.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

Alex was absolutely outstanding! He was so helpful and attentive and really made our vision for our wedding come true! He is perfect if you are the type to be shy in front of cameras because he will assist you all through out the process. He was also very kind towards our other photographer and videographers. His professionalism and attention to detail were the qualities that stuck out most to us.

10/10 would recommend

We had such a great experience with Alex. From the very beginning, he was so easygoing, kind, and professional, which made us feel completely comfortable. He blended in seamlessly while capturing all the special moments without ever making us feel like we were constantly on camera. The final video is absolutely beautiful and I loved his choice in music. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Cinematica Weddings to anyone looking for a talented, friendly, and stress-free videographer that creates unique pieces of art for each wedding and not simply copy paste style videos.

So happy with our choice on Cinematica

My husband and I were blown away with how creative Alex got during our wedding. The photos and highlight video came out so great! The out-of-the-box thinking they did really shows in their work.  All of our friends and family have been amazed at our photos. Just after our engagement shoot with him, we knew the wedding photos would be great.

Absolute dream photos

I almost can't put into words how perfect the photos Alex took for us are. My husband and I are still in awe over the photos a week later....and will continue to be for as long as we have them. They're gorgeous, dreamy, magical, and exactly what we envisioned. Honestly, they look like they came straight out of a fairytale. Alex captured not only the moody elopement style we wanted, but also perfectly captured the feeling of our day. His photos tell the story of how intimate and meaningful our wedding was for us and our family, and every photo brings us back to those moments and emotions. He also made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which was important to us because we usually look awkward in photos. We were shocked by how photogenic we looked, every pose looked natural and effortless. He was so helpful and organized throughout the entire process. He was great at helping with our timeline and made the day flow smoothly, allowing us to be present and enjoy every moment. If you want your photos to look like art, we cannot recommend Alex enough. He has such an amazing eye for detail and a true gift for capturing not just how a day looked, but what it felt like.

Must book!!

From the moment we received our photos and wedding video, we were completely blown away. The quality of the photos is absolutely stunning—every image is beautifully captured, full of emotion, and tells the story of our day perfectly. Looking through our gallery brought us right back to every special moment, and we couldn’t stop smiling.

Our wedding video exceeded every expectation we had. It truly feels like watching our own movie. The way everything was edited together, the attention to detail, the music, and the storytelling made it feel so cinematic and emotional. We have watched it countless times already and discover new little moments with each viewing.

What impressed us most was how naturally and authentically our love, our family, and the joy of the day were captured. These aren’t just photos and videos—they are memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

We are beyond grateful for the time, talent, and care that went into creating something so beautiful for us. Thank you for giving us the gift of reliving the best day of our lives over and over again. We cannot recommend you highly enough
