About

CINÉMATHÈQUE [sin-uh-muh-tek]: a French word used to refer to a film archive with small cinemas that screens particularly classic and art-house films

Your wedding film is just that – an emotional archive. It’s a precious collection of moments weaved together to help you relive them over and again.

And one day, when you’re sitting around playing with your grandchildren, you may tell them stories of when you were younger. They might laugh in disbelief that you were ever young. After all, grandparents were always grandparents, right? Share with them what that first day of marriage was like. How pretty grandma was. How cool granddad was. If that first moment they see you on film was anything like the first time I ever saw my grandfather on film as a young man, then it’ll be magical.

My main goal will always be on capturing the emotion, the story.

In my wedding films, the emotions and story are the fabric, the wedding traditions and details are the color and the music is the thread that ties it all together. Doesn’t that sound like a lovely garment to wrap yourself up in?

The absolute best experience - we cannot recommend Isabel highly enough!

We had the pleasure of working with Isabel as the videographer of our wedding in Palm Springs and truly can’t recommend her highly enough. We had a very specific vision of what we hoped our wedding video would look like, which was one that we were fearful was unrealistic to practically expect. From the outset it was clear that Isabel had a creativity, visual language, and storytelling talent that was special and the right fit for what we were looking for. On the day, she made us feel comfortable and was a joy to spend time with. Beyond everything else, the product Isabel delivered was beyond our wildest dreams. The film captures the essence of our wedding day perfectly - which makes it so special to watch and be transported back and feel like we are there. It is both visually stunning and narratively beautiful as it tells our love story. Isabel has a keen understanding of what makes each individual story unique and inserts that into her work. She has perfected the classic formula and is equally proficient at coloring outside the lines. We’ll treasure her work forever.

We love you Iz!

Stunning New Years Eve Film

If you are wondering if you should spend the extra money on hiring a videographer for your wedding, I’m here to say DO IT! My new husband and I are SO happy we found Isabel Cinémathèque to film our New Years Eve wedding. Not only was she incredibly responsive, talented, creative and fun to work with, but she also took the time to get to know our very specific cinematic taste and style. We opted for the 12 minute cut of our wedding and boy are we glad we did! We’ve received so many compliments on how our film looks more like a movie rather than your run of the mill wedding video. The music she chose was on point, the cutaways to small details were perfect, and the entire energy and essence of our NYE wedding was captured in every second of our 12 minute masterpiece :) Isabel Cinémathèque was truly one of our top vendors and she is worth every single penny. Here is a link to our wedding Vimeo so you can see for yourselves :) 5/5 stars! Wishing the best of luck to all of you newlyweds-to-be❤️

Incredible cinematographers! 5 stars

Incredible cinematographers! 5 stars for experience, personality and quality of work.
We just had our wedding at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, and we’re so glad we went with Isabel Cinémathèque to film our special day! We loved working with Isabel and Mel and we highly recommend them if you’re looking for wedding cinematographers that are professional, passionate, creative and fun to work with.
We really appreciate that Isabel took the time to interview us – pre-wedding – to get to know our personalities and what we really want the focus of our film to be. Attention to detail is important to us and we could tell Isabel was on point.
On our wedding day, Isabel and her assistant Mel were there to capture everything – from the bridal party getting ready, to the groomsmen, the first-look, the ceremony, the reception, the emotions and everything in between. Mel was a such a professional, helping us to capture each magical moment on film throughout the evening.
Isabel and Mel were also familiar with Terranea’s layout and geography, so they were able to position us in just the right places to get all the best footage.
Thank you Isabel Cinémathèque for a great experience and creating a film we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

Isabel Gonzalez is nothing short of a joy to work with. I'm a firm believer in couples bringing together a team that works together to help them create the perfect wedding, and few professionals are better to have on your team than Isabel. She works with everyone, up and down the line, complimenting their hard work with her own. For you, she creates wedding films that are nothing short of works of art. She finds the emotions and the story within each event, and expresses them in her work, creating a vision that is unique to you and you alone. Your wedding is special for so many reasons, and Isabel is brilliant at discovering those reasons and bringing them out in your film. On the day of the wedding, she's a fly on the wall, never drawing focus from you, the stars of the show. You'll be amazed at the many moments she captures when you don't even notice her nearby, shooting away. Years from now, you'll want to show your kids and your grandkids the day you became one. Isabel will create a film for you that not only documents it, but recreates the magic, the emotions, the experience. She truly is an event filmmaker.
